The gold standard therapy for advanced stage heart failure is cardiac transplantation. Since the first heart transplant in 1967, the majority of hearts transplanted came from brain death donors. Nevertheless, in recent years, the option of donation after circulatory death (DCD) is gaining importan...
donation after circulatory determination of death (DCDD) would be expected to improve the availability of organs substantially for both adults and children. With DCDD, however, hearts to be transplanted undergo a period of warm ischaemia before procurement, which is of particular concern because tiss...

donation after circulatory deathheart transplantationcardiac extra-corporeal perfusionIn patients with advanced heart failure, morbid obesity is a relative contraindication to heart transplantation due to higher morbidity and mortality in these patients. We performed a retrospective analysis of consecutive ...
Organs recovered from a donor aftercardiac death, on the other hand, experience some degree of oxygen deprivation after the heart has stopped beating, before procurement can begin. And studies have shown that a prolonged period without blood circulation in the heart impairs its performance after tra...
Sudden cardiac deathSudden deaths among cardiac transplant recipients are most commonly related to bradyarrhythmias, yet most bradyarrhythmias in this population are benign. This paradox makes indications for cardiac implantable devices challenging and requires understanding of the unique considerations in ...

Patients with known cardiac amyloidosis and syncope should undergo long-term ECG recordings, preferably by telemetry. Repeated registrations may be necessary to discover disturbances in heart rhythm. 展开 关键词: multiple myeloma amyloidosis AV‐block sudden cardiac death ...
Sudden cardiac death accounts for up to one half of the heart failure deaths each year. Thus, an understanding of the possible mechanisms, markers, and treatments of sudden cardiac death is an important component in the care of this patient population. This article discusses recent hypotheses as...
