Excellent and brief summary of the debate on functional mitral regurgitation on mechanical support.
...A robust RCT that denies association of nuclear CT-defined myocardial viability and long-term benefit from surgical coronary revascularisation. It is worth following the discussion this manuscript is certain to generate..
...The translational value for cardiac transplantation of this prospective multi-centre clinical study of vasodilation in amyloidosis remains to be evaluated.
...In this experimental study on segmental artery coil embolization, the authors examined the optimal occlusion pattern to reduce the risk of spinal cord ischemia during thoracoabdominal aortic repair. Von Aspern...
A robust meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials on stem cell therapies for refractory angina, offering some encouragement.
...In this state-of-the-art review review, the authors summarize current knowledge of anatomic, structural, metabolic, functional, and hemodynamic characteristics of the right ventricle (RV) in both health and disease. Highlights of...
Very useful open access review, especially the simple figure on page 959.
...A very useful synopsis of treatment strategies for a vexing lethal condition.
