Management of ACHD patients with heart failure remains challenging with OHT as a viable strategy for end-stage disease. In our experience, ACHD patients have increased mortality early post-transplant that persists to 6 months. However, ACHD patients have similar survival by 1 year. When compared...

Purpose The development of post-transplant diabetes mellitus (PTDM) is associated with an increased risk of acute rejection after kidney and liver transplantation, however, the outcomes after orthotopic heart transplant (OHT) have yet to be systematically studied. We sought to investigate whether there...
The purpose of this study was to compare posttransplantation morbidity and mortality in orthotopic heart transplant recipients bridged to transplant with (1) continuous-flow left ventricular assist device (LVAD), (2) pulsatile-flow LVAD, or (3) inotropic therapy only with no LVAD.MethodsThe United...
Heart transplantation is associated with a high incidence of hyperlipidemia, and accelerated coronary artery disease is responsible for much of the post-transplant long-term morbidity and mortality. A multicenter Heart Transplant Lipid R... CM Ballantyne 被引量: 1发表: 1997年 The efficacy of exercis...
A total of 291 adult patients were enrolled in the present cohort and are represented inTable 1. Most of the cohort were male (218, 75%) and Caucasian (225, 77%) with an average age at time of heart transplant of 55 ± 11 years and most received LVAD prior to heart transplant (185...

Blood glucose, fasting plasma glucose, lipid, and A1c (glycosylated hemoglobin) levels should be measured and assessed routinely following transplant. Dyslipidemias should be aggressively treated to reduce the risk of heart disease in PTDM patients, and blood pressure controlled to a target value of...
Orthotopic heart transplantation (HT) is an option for end-stage heart failure in pediatric patients with a variety of diagnoses. However, posttransplant survival is limited by graft failure, which can occur at any point in time following transplantation. This chapter provides a comprehensive ...
