Mashup Score: 18Mitigating Post-Operative Right Ventricular Dysfunction After Left Ventricular Assist Device: The RV Protection Study - 3 hour(s) ago
Left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) are an important medical advancement for patients with advanced heart failure, with higher survival rates compared to medical therapy alone.1 In the modern era, HeartMate 3 LVADs (Abbott, Abbott Park, IL) have higher survival when compared to HeartMate II LVADs, and lower hemocompatibility-related adverse events (HRAEs).2 Despite improvements in HRAEs with the HeartMate 3, hemodynamic-related events (HDRE) including right ventricular failure (RVF) and aortic insufficiency (AI) still occur, which results in considerable morbidity and mortality, particularly as patients live longer on their support devices.

Mashup Score: 12Pathophysiologic Vasodilation in Cardiogenic Shock and Its Impact on Mortality | Circulation: Heart Failure - 3 month(s) ago
BACKGROUND: Cardiogenic shock (CS) mortality remains near 40%. In addition to inadequate cardiac output, patients with severe CS may exhibit vasodilation. We aimed to examine the prevalence and consequences of vasodilation in CS. METHODS: We analyzed all patients hospitalized at a CS referral center who were diagnosed with CS stages B to E and did not have concurrent sepsis or recent cardiac surgery. Vasodilation was defined by lower systemic vascular resistance (SVR), higher norepinephrine equivalent dose, or a blunted SVR response to pressors. Threshold SVR values were determined by their relation to 14-day mortality in spline models. The primary outcome was death within 14 days of CS onset in multivariable-adjusted Cox models. RESULTS: This study included 713 patients with a mean age of 60 years and 27% females; 14-day mortality was 28%, and 38% were vasodilated. The median SVR was 1308 dynes•s•cm−5 (interquartile range, 870–1652), median norepinephrine equivalent was 0.11 µg/kg per
