(PCWP), is a novel hemodynamic measurement representing cardiac filling pressures and contractility. Hypothesis: API would predict heart failure hospitalizations in acutely decompensated heart failure participants in the Evaluation study of congestive heart failure and pulmonary artery catheterization effectiveness (ESCAPE) trial. Methods: From the ESCAPE trial individual-level data API, cardiac power output (CPO), and pulmonary artery pulsatility index (PAPI) were calculated, as well as reported routine invasive hemodynamics at baseline and after final hemodynamic-monitored optimization. Outcomes assessed were need for any rehospitalization and time to any first rehospitalization. Univariable analysis was conducted to assess rehospitalization.

Heart rate (HR) modulation using ivabradine is associated with improved clinical outcomes in patients with systolic heart failure, although it remains uninvestigated for other clinical purposes. We aimed to assess the impact of HR control in patients with constrictive pericarditis. In this retrospective study, consecutive patients who were diagnosed with constrictive pericarditis were included. Transthoracic echocardiography was performed at index discharge (day 0). The impact of HR difference between actual HR and ideal HR, which was calculated using a formula consisting of deceleration time, on heart failure readmission rates was investigated. A total of 15 patients (73 years old on median, 11 men) with constrictive pericarditis were included. On median, actual HR was 71 bpm and ideal HR was 81 bpm. Heart failure readmission rates were stratified into three groups by the HR difference: (1) optimal HR group satisfying "−10 bpm !HR difference !10 bpm" (n = 4, 0.067 events per year); (2) lower HR group satisfying "HR difference < −10 bpm" (n = 7, 0.118 events per year, incidence rate ratio 1.98, 95% confidence interval 0.06-61.6); (3) higher HR group satisfying "HR difference > 10 bpm" (n = 4, 0.231 events per year, incidence rate ratio 9.22, 95% confidence interval 0.36-237.8). In conclusion, non-optimized HR was associated with an increased risk of heart failure recurrence in patients with constrictive pericarditis. Prospective assessment of deceleration time-guided HR optimization in patients with constrictive pericarditis is needed.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="4a445642f8db8cd889578a7cbd2c0318" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":98843878,"asset_id":97139162,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/98843878/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="97139162"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="97139162"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 97139162;

Although several deep learning (DL) algorithms are available to quantify RVEF from cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) images, there has been no systematic comparison of these algorithms, and the prognostic value of these automated measurements is unknown. We aimed to determine whether RVEF measurements made using DL algorithms could be used to risk stratify patients similarly to measurements made by an expert. Methods: We identified from a pre-existing registry 200 patients who underwent CMR. RVEF was determined using 3 fully automated commercial DL algorithms (DL-RVEF) and also by a clinical expert (CLIN-RVEF) using conventional methodology. Each of the DL-RVEF approaches was compared against CLIN-RVEF using linear regression and Bland-Altman analyses.

Also, there is an unmet clinical need to prospectively examine the role of VT ablation in patients with nonischemic cardiomyopathy, an increasingly prevalent population that is referred for advanced therapies globally. Methods: We conducted an international, multicenter, randomized controlled trial enrolling 180 patients with cardiomyopathy and monomorphic VT with an indication for ICD implantation to assess the role of early, first-line ablation therapy. A total of 121 patients were randomly assigned (1:1) to ablation plus an ICD versus conventional medical therapy plus an ICD. Patients who refused ICD (n=47) were followed in a prospective registry after stand-alone ablation treatment.

Practice guidelines outlining the optimal care of CS patients do not currently exist for heart transplant recipients. We therefore conducted an online survey of heart transplant providers to gain insight into current practice patterns. Methods An online survey was distributed to members of the International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation. It consisted of 16 questions designed to classify provider type, location and management preferences. Differences between groups were analyzed for significance using Chi-square and/or Fisher exact tests. Results 82 providers from 49 different transplant centers responded to our survey. Among respondents, 56 (69%) were cardiologists, 11 (13.1%) advanced practice providers, and 3 (3.6%) surgeons. A significantly greater percentage of centers maintained their CS versus non-CS patients on lifelong prednisone (58.2% vs 4.9%, p Conclusion A significantly greater proportion of CS patients are maintained on lifelong prednisone post-OHT compared to non-CS patients. For routine monitoring of CS recurrence, cardiac MRI and PET appear to be the preferred modalities for assessing CS recurrence in the allograft. However, a significant percentage of providers do not routinely monitor for CS recurrence post-OHT.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="86659539"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="86659539"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 86659539; window.Academia.workViewCountsFetcher.queue(workId, function (count) { var description = window.$h.commaizeInt(count) + " " + window.$h.pluralize(count, 'View'); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=86659539]").text(description); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=86659539]").attr('title', description).tooltip(); }); });</script></span></span><span><span class="percentile-widget hidden"><span class="u-mr2x work-percentile"></span></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 86659539; window.Academia.workPercentilesFetcher.queue(workId, function (percentileText) { var container = $(".js-work-strip[data-work-id='86659539']"); container.find('.work-percentile').text(percentileText.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + percentileText.slice(1)); container.find('.percentile-widget').show(); container.find('.percentile-widget').removeClass('hidden'); }); });</script></span></div><div id="work-strip-premium-row-container"></div></div></div><script> require.config({ waitSeconds: 90 })(["https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/wow_profile-a9bf3a2bc8c89fa2a77156577594264ee8a0f214d74241bc0fcd3f69f8d107ac.js","https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/work_edit-ad038b8c047c1a8d4fa01b402d530ff93c45fee2137a149a4a5398bc8ad67560.js"], function() { // from javascript_helper.rb var dispatcherData = {} if (false){ window.WowProfile.dispatcher = window.WowProfile.dispatcher || _.clone(Backbone.Events); dispatcherData = { dispatcher: window.WowProfile.dispatcher, downloadLinkId: "-1" } } $('.js-work-strip[data-work-id=86659539]').each(function() { if (!$(this).data('initialized')) { new WowProfile.WorkStripView({ el: this, workJSON: {"id":86659539,"title":"Management of Cardiac Sarcoidosis after Orthotopic Heart Transplant: A Multi-Institutional Experience","internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/86659539/Management_of_Cardiac_Sarcoidosis_after_Orthotopic_Heart_Transplant_A_Multi_Institutional_Experience","owner_id":42979401,"coauthors_can_edit":true,"owner":{"id":42979401,"first_name":"Stephanie","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Besser","page_name":"StephanieBesser","domain_name":"illinois","created_at":"2016-02-10T04:15:43.606-08:00","display_name":"Stephanie Besser","url":"https://illinois.academia.edu/StephanieBesser"},"attachments":[]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData }); $(this).data('initialized', true); } }); $a.trackClickSource(".js-work-strip-work-link", "profile_work_strip") }); </script> <div class="js-work-strip profile--work_container" data-work-id="86659538"><div class="profile--work_thumbnail hidden-xs"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-thumbnail" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.academia.edu/86659538/The_Effect_of_Race_and_Gender_on_Response_to_Milrinone_and_Time_to_LVAD_or_Transplant"><img alt="Research paper thumbnail of The Effect of Race and Gender on Response to Milrinone and Time to LVAD or Transplant" class="work-thumbnail" src="https://a.academia-assets.com/images/blank-paper.jpg" /></a></div><div class="wp-workCard wp-workCard_itemContainer"><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--title"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link text-gray-darker" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-title" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.academia.edu/86659538/The_Effect_of_Race_and_Gender_on_Response_to_Milrinone_and_Time_to_LVAD_or_Transplant">The Effect of Race and Gender on Response to Milrinone and Time to LVAD or Transplant</a></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><span>The Journal of Heart and Lung Transplantation</span><span>, 2021</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><span class="js-work-more-abstract-truncated">Purpose This study aims to determine whether a patient&#39;s race or gender has any effect on the...</span><a class="js-work-more-abstract" data-broccoli-component="work_strip.more_abstract" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-more-abstract" href="javascript:;"><span> more </span><span><i class="fa fa-caret-down"></i></span></a><span class="js-work-more-abstract-untruncated hidden">Purpose This study aims to determine whether a patient&#39;s race or gender has any effect on the hemodynamic response to milrinone and time to LVAD or transplant. Methods Patients with systolic heart failure in an urban academic center were referred for a right heart catheterization and milrinone drug study between June 2014 and November 2018. Drug studies were performed and hemodynamics, including Fick cardiac index (Fick CI) and pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP), were measured before and after infusion of milrinone at 5mcg/kg/min for 10 min. In addition, time to LVAD or transplant was recorded and results were compared by gender and race. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression were then performed and the results were analyzed retrospectively. Results A total of 237 milrinone drug studies were performed during the study period. 54% of the patients were black (n=127), 46% identified as other (white, asian, latino, arabic; n=110), 34% were women (n=80) and 66% were men (n=157). Black patients had a less robust percent decrease in PCWP than patients of other race (-0.2096 ± 0.2299 vs -0.2687 ± 0.2290, p=0.05) and black patients had a greater percent increase in Fick CI, though results did not reach significance (0.3776 [0.1667-0.5714] vs 0.3125 [0.1667-0.4444], p=0.10). Women had a less robust percent decrease in PCWP than men (-0.1721 ± 0.2264 vs -0.2687 ± 0.2270, 0.002), but women did not have a significant change in Fick CI compared to men (0.3298 [0.1579 - 0.5217] vs 0.3604 [0.1694 - 0.5188], p=0.61). Freedom from LVAD or transplant for black patients was 50% at 65 months and 30% at 52 months for other race (p=0.008). There was no significant difference in freedom from LVAD or transplant between men and women (Fig 1). Conclusion Black patients and women may have a less robust response to milrinone than their counterparts, and black patients may be referred for LVAD or transplant less quickly than patients of other race. Additional studies are needed to determine if pharmacogenomics and implicit bias may play a role in these results.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="86659538"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="86659538"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 86659538; window.Academia.workViewCountsFetcher.queue(workId, function (count) { var description = window.$h.commaizeInt(count) + " " + window.$h.pluralize(count, 'View'); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=86659538]").text(description); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=86659538]").attr('title', description).tooltip(); }); });</script></span></span><span><span class="percentile-widget hidden"><span class="u-mr2x work-percentile"></span></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 86659538; window.Academia.workPercentilesFetcher.queue(workId, function (percentileText) { var container = $(".js-work-strip[data-work-id='86659538']"); container.find('.work-percentile').text(percentileText.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + percentileText.slice(1)); container.find('.percentile-widget').show(); container.find('.percentile-widget').removeClass('hidden'); }); });</script></span></div><div id="work-strip-premium-row-container"></div></div></div><script> require.config({ waitSeconds: 90 })(["https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/wow_profile-a9bf3a2bc8c89fa2a77156577594264ee8a0f214d74241bc0fcd3f69f8d107ac.js","https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/work_edit-ad038b8c047c1a8d4fa01b402d530ff93c45fee2137a149a4a5398bc8ad67560.js"], function() { // from javascript_helper.rb var dispatcherData = {} if (false){ window.WowProfile.dispatcher = window.WowProfile.dispatcher || _.clone(Backbone.Events); dispatcherData = { dispatcher: window.WowProfile.dispatcher, downloadLinkId: "-1" } } $('.js-work-strip[data-work-id=86659538]').each(function() { if (!$(this).data('initialized')) { new WowProfile.WorkStripView({ el: this, workJSON: {"id":86659538,"title":"The Effect of Race and Gender on Response to Milrinone and Time to LVAD or Transplant","internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/86659538/The_Effect_of_Race_and_Gender_on_Response_to_Milrinone_and_Time_to_LVAD_or_Transplant","owner_id":42979401,"coauthors_can_edit":true,"owner":{"id":42979401,"first_name":"Stephanie","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Besser","page_name":"StephanieBesser","domain_name":"illinois","created_at":"2016-02-10T04:15:43.606-08:00","display_name":"Stephanie Besser","url":"https://illinois.academia.edu/StephanieBesser"},"attachments":[]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData }); $(this).data('initialized', true); } }); $a.trackClickSource(".js-work-strip-work-link", "profile_work_strip") }); </script> <div class="js-work-strip profile--work_container" data-work-id="86659537"><div class="profile--work_thumbnail hidden-xs"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-thumbnail" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.academia.edu/86659537/Prevalence_of_BK_Virus_Infection_in_a_Large_Heart_Transplant_Population"><img alt="Research paper thumbnail of Prevalence of BK Virus Infection in a Large Heart Transplant Population" class="work-thumbnail" src="https://a.academia-assets.com/images/blank-paper.jpg" /></a></div><div class="wp-workCard wp-workCard_itemContainer"><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--title"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link text-gray-darker" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-title" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.academia.edu/86659537/Prevalence_of_BK_Virus_Infection_in_a_Large_Heart_Transplant_Population">Prevalence of BK Virus Infection in a Large Heart Transplant Population</a></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><span>The Journal of Heart and Lung Transplantation</span><span>, 2020</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><span class="js-work-more-abstract-truncated">PURPOSE In heart transplant (HT) patients, prevalence of BK virus (BKV) infection and its clinica...</span><a class="js-work-more-abstract" data-broccoli-component="work_strip.more_abstract" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-more-abstract" href="javascript:;"><span> more </span><span><i class="fa fa-caret-down"></i></span></a><span class="js-work-more-abstract-untruncated hidden">PURPOSE In heart transplant (HT) patients, prevalence of BK virus (BKV) infection and its clinical significance are unknown. We sought to understand rates of BKV infection in a large HT cohort and to evaluate risk factors and effects of infection. METHODS Consecutive HT patients at a single institution were evaluated for BKV infection in blood and urine in the 1st year post-transplant. Titers were collected 1-month post-transplant and then every 6 months, with additional testing if needed. Rates of infection were compared between HT and combined organ transplant. In the HT group, patients with no infection, viruria with no viremia, and viremia with or without viruria were compared. Measures of immunity and kidney function were collected with titers in blood to evaluate Spearman rank correlations using log10 transformation. RESULTS 104 patients were enrolled: 89 HT, 12 heart/kidney transplant (HKT), 1 heart/liver transplant, 2 heart/liver/kidney transplant. Viruria and viremia were highly prevalent in HT (42% and 30%, respectively). Compared to HT patients without infection, those with viremia were older (57.8 vs 50.8 yrs, p=0.04), and tended to have lower pre-transplant glomerular filtration rate (GFR) (63.3 vs 71.4 mg/dL/1.73m2, p=0.14). There were no significant differences between patients with viruria compared to viremia. 1-year freedom from viruria was 55% in HT vs 46% in HKT. 1-year freedom from viremia was 67% in HT vs 56% in HKT (Figure). Viremia titers in HT strongly correlated with immunoglobulin (IgG) levels (R= -0.60, p=0.001), but not other immunity measures. Viremia titers were not correlated with GFR (R= 0.05, p=0.70). When comparing GFR before transplant to 1-year post-transplant, there was no significant difference found in the groups with no infection, viruria, and viremia (-22.4 vs -23.7 vs -23.4 mg/dL/1.73m2, p=0.98). CONCLUSION BK viremia is very common in HT patients. BK viremia correlated with IgG, but not kidney function. Longer surveillance studies are needed to evaluate effects of BKV infection.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="86659537"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="86659537"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 86659537; window.Academia.workViewCountsFetcher.queue(workId, function (count) { var description = window.$h.commaizeInt(count) + " " + window.$h.pluralize(count, 'View'); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=86659537]").text(description); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=86659537]").attr('title', description).tooltip(); }); });</script></span></span><span><span class="percentile-widget hidden"><span class="u-mr2x work-percentile"></span></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 86659537; window.Academia.workPercentilesFetcher.queue(workId, function (percentileText) { var container = $(".js-work-strip[data-work-id='86659537']"); container.find('.work-percentile').text(percentileText.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + percentileText.slice(1)); container.find('.percentile-widget').show(); container.find('.percentile-widget').removeClass('hidden'); }); });</script></span></div><div id="work-strip-premium-row-container"></div></div></div><script> require.config({ waitSeconds: 90 })(["https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/wow_profile-a9bf3a2bc8c89fa2a77156577594264ee8a0f214d74241bc0fcd3f69f8d107ac.js","https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/work_edit-ad038b8c047c1a8d4fa01b402d530ff93c45fee2137a149a4a5398bc8ad67560.js"], function() { // from javascript_helper.rb var dispatcherData = {} if (false){ window.WowProfile.dispatcher = window.WowProfile.dispatcher || _.clone(Backbone.Events); dispatcherData = { dispatcher: window.WowProfile.dispatcher, downloadLinkId: "-1" } } $('.js-work-strip[data-work-id=86659537]').each(function() { if (!$(this).data('initialized')) { new WowProfile.WorkStripView({ el: this, workJSON: {"id":86659537,"title":"Prevalence of BK Virus Infection in a Large Heart Transplant Population","internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/86659537/Prevalence_of_BK_Virus_Infection_in_a_Large_Heart_Transplant_Population","owner_id":42979401,"coauthors_can_edit":true,"owner":{"id":42979401,"first_name":"Stephanie","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Besser","page_name":"StephanieBesser","domain_name":"illinois","created_at":"2016-02-10T04:15:43.606-08:00","display_name":"Stephanie Besser","url":"https://illinois.academia.edu/StephanieBesser"},"attachments":[]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData }); $(this).data('initialized', true); } }); $a.trackClickSource(".js-work-strip-work-link", "profile_work_strip") }); </script> <div class="js-work-strip profile--work_container" data-work-id="86659536"><div class="profile--work_thumbnail hidden-xs"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-thumbnail" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.academia.edu/86659536/The_Novel_Hemodynamic_Variable_Aortic_Pulsatility_Index_Predicts_Freedom_from_Advanced_Heart_Failure_Therapies_and_Death"><img alt="Research paper thumbnail of The Novel Hemodynamic Variable Aortic Pulsatility Index Predicts Freedom from Advanced Heart Failure Therapies and Death" class="work-thumbnail" src="https://a.academia-assets.com/images/blank-paper.jpg" /></a></div><div class="wp-workCard wp-workCard_itemContainer"><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--title"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link text-gray-darker" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-title" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.academia.edu/86659536/The_Novel_Hemodynamic_Variable_Aortic_Pulsatility_Index_Predicts_Freedom_from_Advanced_Heart_Failure_Therapies_and_Death">The Novel Hemodynamic Variable Aortic Pulsatility Index Predicts Freedom from Advanced Heart Failure Therapies and Death</a></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><span>The Journal of Heart and Lung Transplantation</span><span>, 2020</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><span class="js-work-more-abstract-truncated">PURPOSE We hypothesized that a novel invasive hemodynamic measure reflecting cardiac contractilit...</span><a class="js-work-more-abstract" data-broccoli-component="work_strip.more_abstract" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-more-abstract" href="javascript:;"><span> more </span><span><i class="fa fa-caret-down"></i></span></a><span class="js-work-more-abstract-untruncated hidden">PURPOSE We hypothesized that a novel invasive hemodynamic measure reflecting cardiac contractility and filling pressure would predict long-term prognosis. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed consecutive patients undergoing right heart catheterization (RHC) with milrinone drug study at our institution between 2/2013-2/2017. In addition to usual RHC measurements aortic pulsatility index (API) was calculated as (systolic blood pressure - diastolic blood pressure)/pulmonary capillary wedge pressure. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were conducted to determine association with continued medical management (MM) compared to advanced therapies (AT), defined as the combined endpoint of progression to left ventricular assist device, orthotopic heart transplant or need for inotropes, or death at 30 days and 1 year. RESULTS A total of 120 patients (33% female, average age 57 ± 13 years, 45% ischemic cardiomyopathy) were included in the analysis. Baseline API was higher in patients on MM at 30-days and 1-year post-RHC, OR 2.6 (95% CI 1.6-4.5,p&lt;0.001), OR 3.1 (95% CI 1.7-5.6,p&lt;0.001), respectively, compared to those that progressed to AT or death. In univariate analysis a 1-point increase in API was associated with increased odds of MM compared to progression to AT or death, OR 2.6 (95% CI 1.6-4.5,p&lt;0.001), OR 3.1 (95% CI 1.7-5.6,p&lt;0.001) at 30-day and 1-year follow-up, respectively. In multivariate analysis API was strongly associated with continued MM and freedom from AT or death when adjusted for Fick cardiac index and pulmonary artery pulsatility index at 30-days and 1-year, respectively, OR 2.4 (95% CI 1.3-4.3, p=0.004), OR 3.2 (95% CI 1.5-6.6,p=0.002). Change in API after milrinone infusion was not significantly associated with MM at 30-day or 1-year follow-up. CONCLUSION API is a novel invasive hemodynamic measurement that better predicts freedom from AT or death at 30-day and 1-year follow-up when compared to traditional RHC measurements.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="86659536"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="86659536"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 86659536;

It is unclear whether the Cylex ImmuKnow (IK) assay - a rapid, quantitative assessment of T-cell-mediated immune function designed to monitor immunosuppression response - can be a useful tool in overall immunosuppression and identification of patients at risk for de novo DSA production. We hypothesize that, among heart transplant recipients, increased immune function activity as measured by the IK assay would correlate with de novo DSA production. METHODS We conducted a single center cohort study including all consecutive single organ heart transplant recipients from 2014 to 2018. The IK assay categorized subjects into low, moderate, or high immune response levels at 6, 12, and 24-month intervals. De novo DSA production based on human leukocyte antigen antibody testing was correlated to IK immune response levels at these time points. RESULTS 122 single organ heart transplant recipients were included. High immune response levels were noted in 10%, 9%, and 12% of subjects at 6, 12, and 24-months, respectively. Compared to baseline, de novo DSA production was noted in 21%, 23%, and 25% of subjects at the respective time intervals. 6-month IK category did not correlate with DSA production at 6 (r = -0.03, p=0.9), 12 (r = -0.03, p=0.9), or 24 months (r = 0.15, p=0.3). Similar findings were noted at 12 and 24 months. Being in a high IK category at any interval was not associated with de novo DSA production at any time point (p&gt;0.05). Univariate analysis of demographic factors, induction agents used, and co-morbidities (including EMV or CBV infection status) did not reveal significant associations with de novo DSA production. CONCLUSION High T-cell-mediated immune response levels, a possible indicator of under-suppression, as measured by the IK assay were not associated with de novo DSA production after heart transplantation.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="86659535"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="86659535"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 86659535;

Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) is commonly used in patients with neutropenia. In this work, we assessed the adverse effects of G-CSF treatment in the setting of a university hospital. Data on HT patients from January 2008 to July 2016 were reviewed. Patients who received G-CSF were identified and compared with patients without a history of therapy. Baseline characteristics, rejection episodes, and outcomes were collected. Data were analyzed by incidence rates, time to rejection and survival were analyzed using Kaplan-Meier curves, and odds ratios were generated using logistic regression analysis. Two hundred twenty-two HT patients were studied and 40 (18%) received G-CSF for a total of 85 total neutropenic events (0.79 event/patient year). There were no differences in baseline characteristics between the groups.

Methods-Using the Health Care Cost and Utilization Project State Inpatient Database (Florida and California), the American Hospital Association Annual Survey Database, and Medicare's Case Mix Index data, we identified 19 hospitals that consolidated between 2007 and 2013 and propensity matched them with 19 independent hospitals, using patient and hospital characteristics. One year before consolidation and again 1 year after, we used difference-indifferences analysis to compare changes in the risk-adjusted complication rate of 7 elective operations performed in the consolidated hospitals and in the matched control group. Results-Of the 7 procedures studied, 2 procedures saw a decrease in complication rate (lumbar and lumbosacral fusion of the posterior column posterior technique, difference-indifferences = −0.6%, P < .01; total hip replacement, difference-indifferences = −0.6%, P < .01); 3 procedures saw an increase in complication rate (transurethral prostatectomy, difference-indifferences = 4.1%, P < .01; cervical fusion of the anterior column anterior technique, difference-indifferences = 1.5%, P < .01; total knee replacement, difference-indifferences = 0.3%, P < .01); and 2 procedures saw no change in complication rate (laparoscopic cholecystectomy, lumbar and lumbosacral fusion of the anterior column posterior technique, both P > .05) after hospital consolidation.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="3e5544bd4e94fb3683f6270d1c852aa3" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":91059557,"asset_id":86659532,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/91059557/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="86659532"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="86659532"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 86659532;

Hypothesis: API would predict heart failure hospitalizations in acutely decompensated heart failure participants in the Evaluation study of congestive heart failure and pulmonary artery catheterization effectiveness (ESCAPE) trial. Methods: From the ESCAPE trial individual-level data API, cardiac power output (CPO), and pulmonary artery pulsatility index (PAPI) were calculated, as well as reported routine invasive hemodynamics at baseline and after final hemodynamic-monitored optimization. Outcomes assessed were need for any rehospitalization and time to any first rehospitalization. Univariable analysis was conducted to assess rehospitalization.

Heart rate (HR) modulation using ivabradine is associated with improved clinical outcomes in patients with systolic heart failure, although it remains uninvestigated for other clinical purposes. We aimed to assess the impact of HR control in patients with constrictive pericarditis. In this retrospective study, consecutive patients who were diagnosed with constrictive pericarditis were included. Transthoracic echocardiography was performed at index discharge (day 0). The impact of HR difference between actual HR and ideal HR, which was calculated using a formula consisting of deceleration time, on heart failure readmission rates was investigated. A total of 15 patients (73 years old on median, 11 men) with constrictive pericarditis were included. On median, actual HR was 71 bpm and ideal HR was 81 bpm. Heart failure readmission rates were stratified into three groups by the HR difference: (1) optimal HR group satisfying "−10 bpm !HR difference !10 bpm" (n = 4, 0.067 events per year); (2) lower HR group satisfying "HR difference < −10 bpm" (n = 7, 0.118 events per year, incidence rate ratio 1.98, 95% confidence interval 0.06-61.6); (3) higher HR group satisfying "HR difference > 10 bpm" (n = 4, 0.231 events per year, incidence rate ratio 9.22, 95% confidence interval 0.36-237.8). In conclusion, non-optimized HR was associated with an increased risk of heart failure recurrence in patients with constrictive pericarditis. Prospective assessment of deceleration time-guided HR optimization in patients with constrictive pericarditis is needed.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="4a445642f8db8cd889578a7cbd2c0318" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":98843878,"asset_id":97139162,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/98843878/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="97139162"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="97139162"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 97139162;

Although several deep learning (DL) algorithms are available to quantify RVEF from cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) images, there has been no systematic comparison of these algorithms, and the prognostic value of these automated measurements is unknown. We aimed to determine whether RVEF measurements made using DL algorithms could be used to risk stratify patients similarly to measurements made by an expert. Methods: We identified from a pre-existing registry 200 patients who underwent CMR. RVEF was determined using 3 fully automated commercial DL algorithms (DL-RVEF) and also by a clinical expert (CLIN-RVEF) using conventional methodology. Each of the DL-RVEF approaches was compared against CLIN-RVEF using linear regression and Bland-Altman analyses.

Practice guidelines outlining the optimal care of CS patients do not currently exist for heart transplant recipients. We therefore conducted an online survey of heart transplant providers to gain insight into current practice patterns. Methods An online survey was distributed to members of the International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation. It consisted of 16 questions designed to classify provider type, location and management preferences. Differences between groups were analyzed for significance using Chi-square and/or Fisher exact tests. Results 82 providers from 49 different transplant centers responded to our survey. Among respondents, 56 (69%) were cardiologists, 11 (13.1%) advanced practice providers, and 3 (3.6%) surgeons. A significantly greater percentage of centers maintained their CS versus non-CS patients on lifelong prednisone (58.2% vs 4.9%, p Conclusion A significantly greater proportion of CS patients are maintained on lifelong prednisone post-OHT compared to non-CS patients. For routine monitoring of CS recurrence, cardiac MRI and PET appear to be the preferred modalities for assessing CS recurrence in the allograft. However, a significant percentage of providers do not routinely monitor for CS recurrence post-OHT.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="86659539"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="86659539"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 86659539; window.Academia.workViewCountsFetcher.queue(workId, function (count) { var description = window.$h.commaizeInt(count) + " " + window.$h.pluralize(count, 'View'); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=86659539]").text(description); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=86659539]").attr('title', description).tooltip(); }); });</script></span></span><span><span class="percentile-widget hidden"><span class="u-mr2x work-percentile"></span></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 86659539; window.Academia.workPercentilesFetcher.queue(workId, function (percentileText) { var container = $(".js-work-strip[data-work-id='86659539']"); container.find('.work-percentile').text(percentileText.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + percentileText.slice(1)); container.find('.percentile-widget').show(); container.find('.percentile-widget').removeClass('hidden'); }); });</script></span></div><div id="work-strip-premium-row-container"></div></div></div><script> require.config({ waitSeconds: 90 })(["https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/wow_profile-a9bf3a2bc8c89fa2a77156577594264ee8a0f214d74241bc0fcd3f69f8d107ac.js","https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/work_edit-ad038b8c047c1a8d4fa01b402d530ff93c45fee2137a149a4a5398bc8ad67560.js"], function() { // from javascript_helper.rb var dispatcherData = {} if (false){ window.WowProfile.dispatcher = window.WowProfile.dispatcher || _.clone(Backbone.Events); dispatcherData = { dispatcher: window.WowProfile.dispatcher, downloadLinkId: "-1" } } $('.js-work-strip[data-work-id=86659539]').each(function() { if (!$(this).data('initialized')) { new WowProfile.WorkStripView({ el: this, workJSON: {"id":86659539,"title":"Management of Cardiac Sarcoidosis after Orthotopic Heart Transplant: A Multi-Institutional Experience","internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/86659539/Management_of_Cardiac_Sarcoidosis_after_Orthotopic_Heart_Transplant_A_Multi_Institutional_Experience","owner_id":42979401,"coauthors_can_edit":true,"owner":{"id":42979401,"first_name":"Stephanie","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Besser","page_name":"StephanieBesser","domain_name":"illinois","created_at":"2016-02-10T04:15:43.606-08:00","display_name":"Stephanie Besser","url":"https://illinois.academia.edu/StephanieBesser"},"attachments":[]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData }); $(this).data('initialized', true); } }); $a.trackClickSource(".js-work-strip-work-link", "profile_work_strip") }); </script> <div class="js-work-strip profile--work_container" data-work-id="86659538"><div class="profile--work_thumbnail hidden-xs"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-thumbnail" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.academia.edu/86659538/The_Effect_of_Race_and_Gender_on_Response_to_Milrinone_and_Time_to_LVAD_or_Transplant"><img alt="Research paper thumbnail of The Effect of Race and Gender on Response to Milrinone and Time to LVAD or Transplant" class="work-thumbnail" src="https://a.academia-assets.com/images/blank-paper.jpg" /></a></div><div class="wp-workCard wp-workCard_itemContainer"><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--title"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link text-gray-darker" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-title" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.academia.edu/86659538/The_Effect_of_Race_and_Gender_on_Response_to_Milrinone_and_Time_to_LVAD_or_Transplant">The Effect of Race and Gender on Response to Milrinone and Time to LVAD or Transplant</a></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><span>The Journal of Heart and Lung Transplantation</span><span>, 2021</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><span class="js-work-more-abstract-truncated">Purpose This study aims to determine whether a patient&#39;s race or gender has any effect on the...</span><a class="js-work-more-abstract" data-broccoli-component="work_strip.more_abstract" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-more-abstract" href="javascript:;"><span> more </span><span><i class="fa fa-caret-down"></i></span></a><span class="js-work-more-abstract-untruncated hidden">Purpose This study aims to determine whether a patient&#39;s race or gender has any effect on the hemodynamic response to milrinone and time to LVAD or transplant. Methods Patients with systolic heart failure in an urban academic center were referred for a right heart catheterization and milrinone drug study between June 2014 and November 2018. Drug studies were performed and hemodynamics, including Fick cardiac index (Fick CI) and pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP), were measured before and after infusion of milrinone at 5mcg/kg/min for 10 min. In addition, time to LVAD or transplant was recorded and results were compared by gender and race. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression were then performed and the results were analyzed retrospectively. Results A total of 237 milrinone drug studies were performed during the study period. 54% of the patients were black (n=127), 46% identified as other (white, asian, latino, arabic; n=110), 34% were women (n=80) and 66% were men (n=157). Black patients had a less robust percent decrease in PCWP than patients of other race (-0.2096 ± 0.2299 vs -0.2687 ± 0.2290, p=0.05) and black patients had a greater percent increase in Fick CI, though results did not reach significance (0.3776 [0.1667-0.5714] vs 0.3125 [0.1667-0.4444], p=0.10). Women had a less robust percent decrease in PCWP than men (-0.1721 ± 0.2264 vs -0.2687 ± 0.2270, 0.002), but women did not have a significant change in Fick CI compared to men (0.3298 [0.1579 - 0.5217] vs 0.3604 [0.1694 - 0.5188], p=0.61). Freedom from LVAD or transplant for black patients was 50% at 65 months and 30% at 52 months for other race (p=0.008). There was no significant difference in freedom from LVAD or transplant between men and women (Fig 1). Conclusion Black patients and women may have a less robust response to milrinone than their counterparts, and black patients may be referred for LVAD or transplant less quickly than patients of other race. Additional studies are needed to determine if pharmacogenomics and implicit bias may play a role in these results.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="86659538"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="86659538"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 86659538; window.Academia.workViewCountsFetcher.queue(workId, function (count) { var description = window.$h.commaizeInt(count) + " " + window.$h.pluralize(count, 'View'); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=86659538]").text(description); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=86659538]").attr('title', description).tooltip(); }); });</script></span></span><span><span class="percentile-widget hidden"><span class="u-mr2x work-percentile"></span></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 86659538; window.Academia.workPercentilesFetcher.queue(workId, function (percentileText) { var container = $(".js-work-strip[data-work-id='86659538']"); container.find('.work-percentile').text(percentileText.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + percentileText.slice(1)); container.find('.percentile-widget').show(); container.find('.percentile-widget').removeClass('hidden'); }); });</script></span></div><div id="work-strip-premium-row-container"></div></div></div><script> require.config({ waitSeconds: 90 })(["https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/wow_profile-a9bf3a2bc8c89fa2a77156577594264ee8a0f214d74241bc0fcd3f69f8d107ac.js","https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/work_edit-ad038b8c047c1a8d4fa01b402d530ff93c45fee2137a149a4a5398bc8ad67560.js"], function() { // from javascript_helper.rb var dispatcherData = {} if (false){ window.WowProfile.dispatcher = window.WowProfile.dispatcher || _.clone(Backbone.Events); dispatcherData = { dispatcher: window.WowProfile.dispatcher, downloadLinkId: "-1" } } $('.js-work-strip[data-work-id=86659538]').each(function() { if (!$(this).data('initialized')) { new WowProfile.WorkStripView({ el: this, workJSON: {"id":86659538,"title":"The Effect of Race and Gender on Response to Milrinone and Time to LVAD or Transplant","internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/86659538/The_Effect_of_Race_and_Gender_on_Response_to_Milrinone_and_Time_to_LVAD_or_Transplant","owner_id":42979401,"coauthors_can_edit":true,"owner":{"id":42979401,"first_name":"Stephanie","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Besser","page_name":"StephanieBesser","domain_name":"illinois","created_at":"2016-02-10T04:15:43.606-08:00","display_name":"Stephanie Besser","url":"https://illinois.academia.edu/StephanieBesser"},"attachments":[]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData }); $(this).data('initialized', true); } }); $a.trackClickSource(".js-work-strip-work-link", "profile_work_strip") }); </script> <div class="js-work-strip profile--work_container" data-work-id="86659537"><div class="profile--work_thumbnail hidden-xs"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-thumbnail" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.academia.edu/86659537/Prevalence_of_BK_Virus_Infection_in_a_Large_Heart_Transplant_Population"><img alt="Research paper thumbnail of Prevalence of BK Virus Infection in a Large Heart Transplant Population" class="work-thumbnail" src="https://a.academia-assets.com/images/blank-paper.jpg" /></a></div><div class="wp-workCard wp-workCard_itemContainer"><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--title"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link text-gray-darker" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-title" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.academia.edu/86659537/Prevalence_of_BK_Virus_Infection_in_a_Large_Heart_Transplant_Population">Prevalence of BK Virus Infection in a Large Heart Transplant Population</a></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><span>The Journal of Heart and Lung Transplantation</span><span>, 2020</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><span class="js-work-more-abstract-truncated">PURPOSE In heart transplant (HT) patients, prevalence of BK virus (BKV) infection and its clinica...</span><a class="js-work-more-abstract" data-broccoli-component="work_strip.more_abstract" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-more-abstract" href="javascript:;"><span> more </span><span><i class="fa fa-caret-down"></i></span></a><span class="js-work-more-abstract-untruncated hidden">PURPOSE In heart transplant (HT) patients, prevalence of BK virus (BKV) infection and its clinical significance are unknown. We sought to understand rates of BKV infection in a large HT cohort and to evaluate risk factors and effects of infection. METHODS Consecutive HT patients at a single institution were evaluated for BKV infection in blood and urine in the 1st year post-transplant. Titers were collected 1-month post-transplant and then every 6 months, with additional testing if needed. Rates of infection were compared between HT and combined organ transplant. In the HT group, patients with no infection, viruria with no viremia, and viremia with or without viruria were compared. Measures of immunity and kidney function were collected with titers in blood to evaluate Spearman rank correlations using log10 transformation. RESULTS 104 patients were enrolled: 89 HT, 12 heart/kidney transplant (HKT), 1 heart/liver transplant, 2 heart/liver/kidney transplant. Viruria and viremia were highly prevalent in HT (42% and 30%, respectively). Compared to HT patients without infection, those with viremia were older (57.8 vs 50.8 yrs, p=0.04), and tended to have lower pre-transplant glomerular filtration rate (GFR) (63.3 vs 71.4 mg/dL/1.73m2, p=0.14). There were no significant differences between patients with viruria compared to viremia. 1-year freedom from viruria was 55% in HT vs 46% in HKT. 1-year freedom from viremia was 67% in HT vs 56% in HKT (Figure). Viremia titers in HT strongly correlated with immunoglobulin (IgG) levels (R= -0.60, p=0.001), but not other immunity measures. Viremia titers were not correlated with GFR (R= 0.05, p=0.70). When comparing GFR before transplant to 1-year post-transplant, there was no significant difference found in the groups with no infection, viruria, and viremia (-22.4 vs -23.7 vs -23.4 mg/dL/1.73m2, p=0.98). CONCLUSION BK viremia is very common in HT patients. BK viremia correlated with IgG, but not kidney function. Longer surveillance studies are needed to evaluate effects of BKV infection.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="86659537"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="86659537"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 86659537; window.Academia.workViewCountsFetcher.queue(workId, function (count) { var description = window.$h.commaizeInt(count) + " " + window.$h.pluralize(count, 'View'); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=86659537]").text(description); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=86659537]").attr('title', description).tooltip(); }); });</script></span></span><span><span class="percentile-widget hidden"><span class="u-mr2x work-percentile"></span></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 86659537; window.Academia.workPercentilesFetcher.queue(workId, function (percentileText) { var container = $(".js-work-strip[data-work-id='86659537']"); container.find('.work-percentile').text(percentileText.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + percentileText.slice(1)); container.find('.percentile-widget').show(); container.find('.percentile-widget').removeClass('hidden'); }); });</script></span></div><div id="work-strip-premium-row-container"></div></div></div><script> require.config({ waitSeconds: 90 })(["https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/wow_profile-a9bf3a2bc8c89fa2a77156577594264ee8a0f214d74241bc0fcd3f69f8d107ac.js","https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/work_edit-ad038b8c047c1a8d4fa01b402d530ff93c45fee2137a149a4a5398bc8ad67560.js"], function() { // from javascript_helper.rb var dispatcherData = {} if (false){ window.WowProfile.dispatcher = window.WowProfile.dispatcher || _.clone(Backbone.Events); dispatcherData = { dispatcher: window.WowProfile.dispatcher, downloadLinkId: "-1" } } $('.js-work-strip[data-work-id=86659537]').each(function() { if (!$(this).data('initialized')) { new WowProfile.WorkStripView({ el: this, workJSON: {"id":86659537,"title":"Prevalence of BK Virus Infection in a Large Heart Transplant Population","internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/86659537/Prevalence_of_BK_Virus_Infection_in_a_Large_Heart_Transplant_Population","owner_id":42979401,"coauthors_can_edit":true,"owner":{"id":42979401,"first_name":"Stephanie","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Besser","page_name":"StephanieBesser","domain_name":"illinois","created_at":"2016-02-10T04:15:43.606-08:00","display_name":"Stephanie Besser","url":"https://illinois.academia.edu/StephanieBesser"},"attachments":[]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData }); $(this).data('initialized', true); } }); $a.trackClickSource(".js-work-strip-work-link", "profile_work_strip") }); </script> <div class="js-work-strip profile--work_container" data-work-id="86659536"><div class="profile--work_thumbnail hidden-xs"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-thumbnail" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.academia.edu/86659536/The_Novel_Hemodynamic_Variable_Aortic_Pulsatility_Index_Predicts_Freedom_from_Advanced_Heart_Failure_Therapies_and_Death"><img alt="Research paper thumbnail of The Novel Hemodynamic Variable Aortic Pulsatility Index Predicts Freedom from Advanced Heart Failure Therapies and Death" class="work-thumbnail" src="https://a.academia-assets.com/images/blank-paper.jpg" /></a></div><div class="wp-workCard wp-workCard_itemContainer"><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--title"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link text-gray-darker" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-title" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.academia.edu/86659536/The_Novel_Hemodynamic_Variable_Aortic_Pulsatility_Index_Predicts_Freedom_from_Advanced_Heart_Failure_Therapies_and_Death">The Novel Hemodynamic Variable Aortic Pulsatility Index Predicts Freedom from Advanced Heart Failure Therapies and Death</a></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><span>The Journal of Heart and Lung Transplantation</span><span>, 2020</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><span class="js-work-more-abstract-truncated">PURPOSE We hypothesized that a novel invasive hemodynamic measure reflecting cardiac contractilit...</span><a class="js-work-more-abstract" data-broccoli-component="work_strip.more_abstract" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-more-abstract" href="javascript:;"><span> more </span><span><i class="fa fa-caret-down"></i></span></a><span class="js-work-more-abstract-untruncated hidden">PURPOSE We hypothesized that a novel invasive hemodynamic measure reflecting cardiac contractility and filling pressure would predict long-term prognosis. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed consecutive patients undergoing right heart catheterization (RHC) with milrinone drug study at our institution between 2/2013-2/2017. In addition to usual RHC measurements aortic pulsatility index (API) was calculated as (systolic blood pressure - diastolic blood pressure)/pulmonary capillary wedge pressure. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were conducted to determine association with continued medical management (MM) compared to advanced therapies (AT), defined as the combined endpoint of progression to left ventricular assist device, orthotopic heart transplant or need for inotropes, or death at 30 days and 1 year. RESULTS A total of 120 patients (33% female, average age 57 ± 13 years, 45% ischemic cardiomyopathy) were included in the analysis. Baseline API was higher in patients on MM at 30-days and 1-year post-RHC, OR 2.6 (95% CI 1.6-4.5,p&lt;0.001), OR 3.1 (95% CI 1.7-5.6,p&lt;0.001), respectively, compared to those that progressed to AT or death. In univariate analysis a 1-point increase in API was associated with increased odds of MM compared to progression to AT or death, OR 2.6 (95% CI 1.6-4.5,p&lt;0.001), OR 3.1 (95% CI 1.7-5.6,p&lt;0.001) at 30-day and 1-year follow-up, respectively. In multivariate analysis API was strongly associated with continued MM and freedom from AT or death when adjusted for Fick cardiac index and pulmonary artery pulsatility index at 30-days and 1-year, respectively, OR 2.4 (95% CI 1.3-4.3, p=0.004), OR 3.2 (95% CI 1.5-6.6,p=0.002). Change in API after milrinone infusion was not significantly associated with MM at 30-day or 1-year follow-up. CONCLUSION API is a novel invasive hemodynamic measurement that better predicts freedom from AT or death at 30-day and 1-year follow-up when compared to traditional RHC measurements.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="86659536"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="86659536"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 86659536;

We hypothesize that, among heart transplant recipients, increased immune function activity as measured by the IK assay would correlate with de novo DSA production. METHODS We conducted a single center cohort study including all consecutive single organ heart transplant recipients from 2014 to 2018. The IK assay categorized subjects into low, moderate, or high immune response levels at 6, 12, and 24-month intervals. De novo DSA production based on human leukocyte antigen antibody testing was correlated to IK immune response levels at these time points. RESULTS 122 single organ heart transplant recipients were included. High immune response levels were noted in 10%, 9%, and 12% of subjects at 6, 12, and 24-months, respectively. Compared to baseline, de novo DSA production was noted in 21%, 23%, and 25% of subjects at the respective time intervals. 6-month IK category did not correlate with DSA production at 6 (r = -0.03, p=0.9), 12 (r = -0.03, p=0.9), or 24 months (r = 0.15, p=0.3). Similar findings were noted at 12 and 24 months. Being in a high IK category at any interval was not associated with de novo DSA production at any time point (p&gt;0.05). Univariate analysis of demographic factors, induction agents used, and co-morbidities (including EMV or CBV infection status) did not reveal significant associations with de novo DSA production. CONCLUSION High T-cell-mediated immune response levels, a possible indicator of under-suppression, as measured by the IK assay were not associated with de novo DSA production after heart transplantation.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="86659535"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="86659535"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 86659535;

Data on HT patients from January 2008 to July 2016 were reviewed. Patients who received G-CSF were identified and compared with patients without a history of therapy. Baseline characteristics, rejection episodes, and outcomes were collected.

Two hundred twenty-two HT patients were studied and 40 (18%) received G-CSF for a total of 85 total neutropenic events (0.79 event/patient year).

Methods-Using the Health Care Cost and Utilization Project State Inpatient Database (Florida and California), the American Hospital Association Annual Survey Database, and Medicare's Case Mix Index data, we identified 19 hospitals that consolidated between 2007 and 2013 and propensity matched them with 19 independent hospitals, using patient and hospital characteristics. One year before consolidation and again 1 year after, we used difference-indifferences analysis to compare changes in the risk-adjusted complication rate of 7 elective operations performed in the consolidated hospitals and in the matched control group. Results-Of the 7 procedures studied, 2 procedures saw a decrease in complication rate (lumbar and lumbosacral fusion of the posterior column posterior technique, difference-indifferences = −0.6%, P < .01; total hip replacement, difference-indifferences = −0.6%, P < .01); 3 procedures saw an increase in complication rate (transurethral prostatectomy, difference-indifferences = 4.1%, P < .01; cervical fusion of the anterior column anterior technique, difference-indifferences = 1.5%, P < .01; total knee replacement, difference-indifferences = 0.3%, P < .01); and 2 procedures saw no change in complication rate (laparoscopic cholecystectomy, lumbar and lumbosacral fusion of the anterior column posterior technique, both P > .05) after hospital consolidation.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="3e5544bd4e94fb3683f6270d1c852aa3" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":91059557,"asset_id":86659532,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/91059557/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="86659532"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="86659532"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 86659532;
