Training in structural heart disease: a fellow’s perspective Open
When Andreas Gruentzig started an interventional cardiology fellowship in 1980, it is unlikely that he fully anticipated the exponential growth of the field over the next several decades. The spark that he created with the first coronary b…

QT prolongation is associated with increased mortality in end stage liver disease Open
QT prolongation was commonly encountered in an ESLD population, especially in males, and served as a strong independent marker for increased mortality in ESLD patients.

Tolerability of Intermittent Hemodialysis in a Cohort of Patients with Left Ventricular Assist Device Open
Background
The use of left ventricular assist device (LVAD) has emerged as a popular treatment for patients with advanced heart failure. It is not uncommon for these patients to suffer from renal failure requiring renal replacement …

Fulminant Necrotizing Eosinophilic Myocarditis: A Case Report and Comprehensive Literature Review Open
Acute eosinophilic myocarditis is a relatively rare disorder with serious morbidity and mortality. Due to its infrequency, standardized management guidelines are wanting. We present a case of acute, necrotizing eosinophilic myocard…

The Utility of Perioperative Transesophageal Echocardiography after Left Ventricular Assist Device Implant: A Case Report Open
Immediate post-operative evaluation of patients who have received a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) can be a daunting task. We present a case of a 51-year-old female who developed ventricular tachycardia soon after returning from the…

CardioMEMSTM in LVAD Patients: A Case Series Open
Patients with a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) commonly encounter issues with volume status post-implant. Volume overload can result from incomplete compensation of left ventricular failure or from right ventricular failure. The Car…

Normal Lactate Dehydrogenase Does Not Exclude Pump Thrombosis in Left Ventricular Assist Devices Open
Left ventricular assist device (LVAD) pump thrombosis is a well-known complication of LVAD placement. Elevated lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) has classically been the first objective marker of pump thrombosis. In this case, we present a patie…

The Utility of Remote Hemodynamic Monitoring Devices in Patients with a Ventricular Assist Device Open
Remote intracardiac hemodynamic monitoring is a growing area of interest to help aid in the management of patients with chronic congestive heart failure. The utility of remote hemodynamic monitoring has not previously been investigated wit…
