Previous studies have demonstrated an association between transfusion and increased organ dysfunction. We sought to determine the association between transfusion of blood components (red blood cell [RBC], plasma, platelet, and cryoprecipitate transfusions) with development of acute kidney injury (AKI) in children following the Fontan procedure. This is a single center, retrospective cohort study from 2009 to 2016.

Introduction: The leading cause of death in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients is cardiovascular-related events, including myocardial infraction-induced ventricular arrhythmia. Previous studies have shown that T2DM-induced functional remodeling of cardiac vagal postganglionic (CVP) neurons contributes to ventricular arrhythmogenesis. As leptin resistance is common in T2DM patients, and CVP neurons are located in epicardial adipose pads, a tissue that secretes leptin, in this study we aimed to elucidate a correlation between leptin resistance and CVP neuronal dysfunction in T2DM.

: Acute rejection remains a major challenge in pediatric heart transplantation (HT), with limited tools for early diagnosis. In adult HT recipients, microcirculatory dysfunction, as measured by the index of microcirculatory resistance (IMR), has been identified as a potential biomarker of rejection. However, its role in pediatric populations is largely unexplored.

Noninvasive ventilation (NIV) is increasingly used in neonatal care to reduce lung injury and improve respiratory outcomes. However, its effects on cardiovascular function and cardiopulmonary interactions, particularly in preterm neonates, remain unclear. This paper reviews the hemodynamic changes associated with NIV and provides an overview of how NIV influences cardiac preload, pulmonary vascular resistance, ventricular output, and systemic blood flow.

Veno-pulmonary extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VP ECMO) is an emerging mechanical support therapy for patients with right ventricular (RV) injury. This study aimed to assess the hemodynamic impact of VP ECMO using a mock circulatory loop (MCL) to simulate patients with varying levels of RV injury and pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR). Right ventricular injury was simulated by changing the end-systolic pressure-volume relationship (47.
