Selective Angiography of Stimulant-Exposed Cardiac Donors Following Circulatory Death Does Not Impact Post-Transplant Outcomes Open
Background/Objectives: Donation after circulatory death (DCD) has emerged to expand the heart-donor pool, but many DCD donors have risk factors such as cocaine or methamphetamine use. Stimulant use can cause coronary vasospasm and prematur…

Complex repolarization dynamics in <i>ex vivo</i> human ventricles are independent of the restitution properties Open
Aims The mechanisms of transition from regular rhythms to ventricular fibrillation (VF) are poorly understood. The concordant to discordant repolarization alternans pathway is extensively studied; however, despite its theoretical centralit…
