While transvenous lead extraction (TLE) has become a pillar of modern management, it still carries significant risk morbidity and mortality – including need for emergent sternotomy management complications. There is little data available on patients who undergo elective open-chest (OLE) rather than TLE. We describe the characteristics, indications, outcomes undergoing OLE. collected all from Ja...

The interaction of Cardiac Troponin C (cTnC) and Cardiac Troponin I (cTnI) plays a critical role in transmitting the Ca (2+) signal to the other myofilament proteins in the activation of cardiac muscle contraction. As such, the cTnC-cTnI interface is a logical target for cardiotonic agents such as levosimendan that can modulate the Ca (2+) sensitivity of the myofilaments. Evidence indicates tha...
