Mashup Score: 1Self-Expanding Pulmonary Valves in 53 Patients With Native Repaired Right Ventricular Outflow Tracts - 2 year(s) ago
Self-expanding pulmonary valve grafts have been designed for percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation (PPVI) in patients with native repaired right ventricular (RV) outflow tracts (RVOTs). However, their efficacy, in terms of RV function and graft remodelling remain unclear.

Mashup Score: 3Prediction of Sudden Cardiac Arrest in the General Population: Review of Traditional and Emerging Risk Factors - 3 year(s) ago
Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is the most common and devastating outcome of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA), defined as an abrupt and unexpected cessation of cardiovascular function leading to circulatory collapse. The incidence of SCD is relatively infrequent for individuals in the general population, in the range of 0.03%-0.10% per year. Yet, the absolute number of cases around the world is high…

Mashup Score: 11Unraveling the Genetic Substrate and Phenotypic Variability of Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy: A Role for Desmosome Gene Variants? - 3 year(s) ago
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a heritable cardiomyopathy, affecting 1 in 500 individuals. It is diagnosed in the presence of otherwise unexplained left ventricular wall thickness ≥ 15 mm, or ≥ 13 mm in the presence of familial disease or a disease-causing genetic variant (Fig. 1).

Mashup Score: 2
At present, the diagnosis of acute cellular rejection (ACR)—that is, T-cell–mediated injury of the donor organ, resulting from activation of the recipient immune system—after solid organ transplantation relies on an invasive tissue biopsy. The absence of a minimally invasive assay for the detection of rejection is particularly acute in heart transplantation, which lacks any widely available and…
