Caspase-3 in Brain Death Donors Is Associated with Reduced Primary Graft Dysfunction After Heart Transplantation Open
Primary graft dysfunction (PGD) remains a major cause of early morbidity and mortality after a heart transplant (HTx). Understanding the donor-related mechanisms involved may help improve organ selection and post-HTx outcomes. This study a…

Case report: Removal of a subcutaneous implantable cardiac defibrillator in a pediatric patient with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy after a septal myectomy. Insights on current indications of type of ICD in children with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and left ventricular tract obstruction Open
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a heart muscle disease with an annual incidence between 0.24 and 0.47/100000 in childhood. Sudden cardiac death is the most common cause of death in this population. Although some medical treatment can decrea…
View article: Relationship Between Maximal Left Ventricular Wall Thickness and Sudden Cardiac Death in Childhood Onset Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy
Relationship Between Maximal Left Ventricular Wall Thickness and Sudden Cardiac Death in Childhood Onset Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Open
Background: Maximal left ventricular wall thickness (MLVWT) is a risk factor for sudden cardiac death (SCD) in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). In adults, the severity of left ventricular hypertrophy has a nonlinear relationship with SCD…

1 The role of the electrocardiographic phenotype in risk stratification for sudden cardiac death in childhood hypertrophic cardiomyopathy Open
Introduction Sudden cardiac death is the most common cause of mortality in childhood onset hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Identifying individuals at highest risk is therefore an essential part of clinical care but remains challenging. The 12…

The role of the electrocardiographic phenotype in risk stratification for sudden cardiac death in childhood hypertrophic cardiomyopathy Open
Aims The 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) is routinely performed in children with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). An ECG risk score has been suggested as a useful tool for risk stratification, but this has not been independently validate…
