Left ventricular unloading during reperfusion.

1543 it before publication.' We have recently become aware of a published thesis by Margot M. Bartelings8 at the University of Leiden that discusses cardiac development and uses the new terminology of Pexieder et a17 as well as the classic nomenclature. Although we are in general satisfied with this suggested nomenclature,7 we believe it would benefit from clarification on two points. For our o...

Right ventricular dysfunction persists following brief right ventricular pressure overload.

OBJECTIVE Acute pulmonary hypertension may cause right ventricular (RV) contractile failure. While it has been assumed that restoration of normal loading conditions after acute pulmonary hypertension is sufficient for complete recovery of RV function, this has not been rigorously examined. The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that acute RV pressure overload produces RV contracti...

Myocardial recovery by mechanical unloading with left ventricular assist system.

It has been generally believed that advanced congestive heart failure (HF) is progressive, but there is increasing evidence that mechanical unloading with the use of left ventricular assist system (LVAS) occasionally reverses the progress of HF and permits device explantation. This "bridge to recovery" strategy is attracting interest, not only for the treatment of severe HF, but also in the stu...

Influence of ivabradine on reverse remodelling during mechanical unloading.

AIMS Ivabradine (Iva) has shown beneficial structural and functional effects in clinical and experimental heart failure (HF), but its action in combination with mechanical unloading (MU), such as during treatment with left ventricular assist devices (LVAD), is unknown. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of Iva during MU, in a rodent model of HF. METHODS AND RESULTS We studie...

Mechanical unloading during left ventricular assist device support increases left ventricular collagen cross-linking and myocardial stiffness.

BACKGROUND Left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) induce reverse remodeling of the failing heart except for the extracellular matrix, which exhibits additional pathophysiological changes, although their mechanisms and functional consequences are unknown. METHODS AND RESULTS Hearts were obtained at transplant from patients with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) not requiring LVAD suppor...
