The development of tissue-engineered cardiovascular implants can improve the lives of large segments of our society who suffer from cardiovascular diseases. Regenerative tissues are fabricated using a...
Prolonged mechanical ventilation (PMV) is a common complication following cardiac surgery linked to unfavorable patient prognosis and increased mortality. This study aimed to search for the factors as...
The patient cohort was divided into two groups based on the presence or absence of PMV post-surgery. Comprehensive preoperative and intraoperative clinical data were collected. Univariate and multivar...
The study included 550 patients who underwent valve surgery, among whom 62 (11.27%) developed PMV. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that age (odds ratio [OR] = 1.082, 95% confidence ...
Age, current smokers, left atrial diameter index, red blood cell count, and aortic clamping time are independent risk factors for PMV in patients undergoing valve surgery. Furthermore, the nomogram ba...
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common early arrhythmia after heart valve surgery that limits physical activity. We aimed to evaluate the criterion validity of the Apple Watch Series 5 single-lead elect...
We enrolled 105 patients from the University Hospital of North Norway, of whom 93 completed the study. All patients underwent single-lead ECG using the smartwatch three times or more daily on the seco...
On comparing the Apple Watch ECGs with the ECG monitoring, the sensitivity and specificity to detect AF were 91% (75, 100) and 96% (91, 99), respectively. The accuracy was 95% (91, 99). On comparing A...
The Apple smartwatch single-lead ECG has high sensitivity and specificity, and might be a useful tool for detecting AF in patients after heart valve surgery....
Hitherto, calcified aortic valves (AVs) and failing bioprosthetic heart valves (BHVs) have been investigated by similar approaches, mostly limited to various immunostaining techniques. Having employed...
This study aims to compare the efficacy of the Age-adjusted Charlson Comorbidity Index (ACCI) and the Elixhauser-Van Walraven Comorbidity Index (ECI-VW) in predicting mortality risk among patients und...
Clinical data were extracted from the INSPIRE Database using R language. The Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) Curve was employed to assess the predictive accuracy of ACCI and ECI-VW for in-hosp...
The study included 996 patients, with 931 survivors and 65 cases of in-hospital all-cause mortality. The area under the curve (AUC) for ACCI in predicting in-hospital all-cause mortality was 0.658 (95...
ACCI demonstrates significant predictive value for in-hospital all-cause mortality within 28 days following cardiac valve disease surgery. Patients presenting with an ACCI greater than 3.5 exhibit an ...
Many studies have suggested that volatile anesthetic use may improve postoperative outcomes after cardiac surgery compared to total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) owing to its potential cardioprotectiv...
This nationwide population-based study included all adult patients who underwent heart valve surgery between 2010 and 2019 in Korea based on data from a health insurance claim database. Patients were ...
Of the 30,755 patients included in this study, the overall incidence of 1-year mortality was 8.5%. After stabilized IPTW, the risk of cumulative 1-year mortality did not differ in the volatile anesthe...
Compared with TIVA, volatile anesthetic use was not associated with reduced postoperative mortality risk in patients undergoing heart valve surgery. Our findings indicate that the use of volatile anes...
Amiodarone and esmolol can help to prevent and treat post-cardiac surgery reperfusion ventricular fibrillation. However, the relative efficacies of these two drugs remain unknown. The aim of the curre...
This is a single-center, prospective, double-blind, controlled clinical trial. A total of 260 patients undergoing heart valve or aortic surgery will be assigned randomly to treatment with prophylactic...
This study will determine if prophylactic esmolol is more effective than amiodarone for reducing the incidence of reperfusion ventricular fibrillation in patients undergoing heart valve or aortic surg...

Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) with mechanical heart valve (MHV) replacement is common in Africa. However, MHV requires lifelong anticoagulation that could have a particular impact in women in reproduc...
We report data of a prospective observational cohort study conducted between August 2018 and September 2019 in MHV patients in the Salam Centre for Cardiac Surgery built in Khartoum by Emergency, an I...
We studied 3647 patients (median age 25.1 years; 53.9% female). During follow-up [median time 1.1 (0.1-1.2) years], we recorded 85 major bleedings (rate 2.16 × 100 pt-years), Major bleedings occurred ...
Bleeding risk of young MHV patients on oral anticoagulant therapy is higher among women, mainly due to metrorrhagia. Women in the reproductive life are at high risk for gynecological bleeding when tre...
Postoperative cognitive decline (POCD) or decreased health-related quality of life (HQL) have been reported after cardiac surgery. A previous investigation showed beneficial effects of postoperative c...
This bicentric, 1:1 randomised and treatment-as-usual controlled trial included elderly patients scheduled for elective heart valve surgery. The training consisted of paper-and-pencil-based exercises ...
Twelve months post training, the training group (n=30) showed improvements in HQL compared with the control group (n=28), especially in role limitations due to physical health (U=-2.447, p=0.015, η...
In conclusion, postoperative cognitive training shows enhancing effects on HQL in cardiac surgery patients after 12 months....
The aim of this study was to assess the clinical significance and prognostic value of the preoperative fibrinogen (FBG) level in patients with native valve infective endocarditis (NVIE) who underwent ...
This retrospective study included a total of 163 consecutive patients who were diagnosed with NVIE and underwent valve surgery from January 2019 to January 2022 in our hospital. The primary endpoint w...
All-cause mortality was observed in 9.2% of the patients (...
Preoperative FBG may serve as a prognostic factor for all-cause mortality, and an FBG concentration less than 3.28 g/L was associated with a greater risk of all-cause mortality in NVIE patients underg...
