The Exercise aNd hEArt Transplant (ENEA) Trial: A Randomized Controlled Trial of Cardiac Rehabilitation After Heart Transplantation

Paolo Pedersini, Alessandro Villaschi, Anastasia Toccafondi, Laura Antolini et autres

Background: Heart transplantation (HTx) remains the gold-standard therapy for patients with end-stage heart failure. Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is a multidisciplinary intervention that improves cardiovascular prognosis and quality of life. The aim of this randomized controlled trial was to evaluate the impact of …

Early cardiac rehabilitation supported by levosimendan infusion and mitral valve repair in acute myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock

Alessandro Villaschi, Silvia Di Lauro, Fabrizio Calloni, Anastasia Toccafondi et autres

Background: Patients with acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) complicated by cardiogenic shock and severely reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) face extremely poor prognosis, particularly elderly patients. Early initiation of cardiac rehabilitation is often limited by haemodynamic instability. Case summary: A 75-year-old …

Balancing blood pressure and catecholamine support is critical in heart failure-related cardiogenic shock patients

Benedikt N. Beer, Caroline Kellner, Jonas Sundermeyer, Lisa Besch et autres

AIMS: Cardiogenic shock (CS) is often treated with catecholamines titrated to an adequate target mean arterial pressure (MAP) while minimizing adverse effects. We aim to assess the optimal catecholamine dose/MAP balance in heart failure-associated CS (HF-CS). METHODS: Patients with HF-CS were retrospectively …

The impact of sex and its interaction with temporary mechanical circulatory support in cardiogenic shock patients

Maurizio Bertaina, Mario Iannaccone, Carlotta Sorini Dini, Simone Frea et autres

BACKGROUND: Temporary mechanical circulatory support (tMCS) is increasingly used in managing cardiogenic shock, yet women remain underrepresented in studies evaluating its role. This analysis aims to clarify sex-specific in-hospital outcomes among cardiogenic shock patients treated with and without tMCS. METHODS: We analyzed …

Balancing blood pressure and catecholamine support is critical in cardiogenic shock patients

B N Beer, C Kellner, Jonas Sundermeyer, Paulus Kirchhof et autres

Abstract Background Hypotension in cardiogenic shock (CS) patients is treated with catecholamines. These drugs increase mean arterial pressure (MAP) and contribute to maintaining organ perfusion but cause cardiac damage and increase vascular resistance. Thus, they are typically titrated aiming for a target …

In-hospital outcomes in nonagenarian patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention

Filippo Angelini, Luca Franchin, Pier P. BOCCHINO, Nuccia MORICI et autres

BACKGROUND: The aim of the present analysis was to evaluate the incidence and predictors of in-hospital adverse outcomes in nonagenarian patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI) for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). METHODS: Consecutive nonagenarian patients undergoing pPCI for STEMI from …
