Objective: Subacute thyroiditis (SAT) is a painful inflammatory disorder of the thyroid gland, which - after a phase of thyrotoxicosis - leads to transient, or less frequently permanent hypothyroidism. Apart from a strong association with specific HLA alleles, the causes are uncertain. Viral disease has been hypothesised as a trigger, with Enteroviruses, namely Echoviruses and Coxsackieviruses, showing a seasonal distribution that coincides with the incidence of SAT.

Heart failure (HF) remains a significant public health issue, with heart transplantation (HT) being the gold standard treatment for end-stage HF. The increasing use of mechanical circulatory support, particularly left ventricular assist devices (LVADs), as a bridge to transplant (BTT), presents new perspectives for increasingly complex clinical scenarios. This study aimed to compare long-term clinical outcomes in patients in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) receiving an LVAD as BTT to those undergoing direct-to-transplant (DTT) without mechanical support, focusing on survival and post-transplant complications.
