IMPact of Donor Heart Function on Recipient Outcomes - a prospectiVE Study to Increase the Utilization of Donor HEARTs
Severe heart failure is a diagnosis with a very poor prognosis. Heart transplantation is the best treatment for terminal heart failure but this type of treatment is limited by the number of available organs. About 20-25% of possible donor hearts are not considered for transplantation because they have some form …
Precision Medicine in the Management of Heart Transplant Recipients
The goal of this clinical trial is to demonstrate that a multiparametric approach, based on the integration of biomolecular, histological, imaging, and clinical information, along with the use of machine learning methods, can identify among heart transplant patients those at higher risk of rejection, infectious events, and chronic graft dysfunction. …
Post-Surgery Extracorporeal Life Support
Extracorporeal Life Support (ECLS) may provide pulmonary and circulatory support for patients with acute heart failure refractory to conventional medical therapy. However, indications and effectiveness of ECLS engagement post-surgery remains a concern. The investigators sought to analyze indications, modality and outcomes of PS-ECLS, to identify predictors of early and midterm …
Myocardial Injury After Noncardiac Surgery (MINS) in Lumbar Surgery Patients
The aim of this study is to evaluate the incidence of myocardial injury after noncardiac surgery (MINS) in patients undergoing lumbar surgery, and to investigate the associated risk factors.
Exercise MRI to Evaluate Cardiorespiratory Fitness in Children With Heart Disease
There are many barriers to heart-healthy lifestyles in pediatric patients with acquired and congenital heart disease. Investigators want to further understand how participants heart and skeletal muscles work together during exercise and evaluate the impact on cardiac function. To do this, the investigators will use magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to …
ZeroHeart Biopsy - Prediction of Deceased Donor Heart Transplant Performance From Organ Donors Using Pre-Transplant Biopsies - A Pilot Study
The goal of this observational study is to evaluate whether molecular analysis of donor heart biopsies taken at the time of organ removal ("Time Zero") can help predict the future function and rejection risk of the transplanted heart in adult transplant recipients. The main questions it aims to answer are: …
