DOI: 10.1007/s40615-020-00906-4
Abstract: This study examined whether African American race was associated with an elevated risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD) post-cardiac transplantation. CKD often occurs after cardiac transplantation and may require renal replacement therapy (RRT) or renal… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.cardfail.2021.11.007
Abstract: BACKGROUND Danon disease (DD) is a rare X-linked dominant cardioskeletal myopathy caused by mutations in the lysosome-associated membrane protein-2 (LAMP-2) gene that is usually lethal without cardiac transplantation. The purpose of this study is to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41390-020-01307-3
Abstract: Background Acute kidney injury (AKI) is common following pediatric cardiac transplantation. Since no treatments exist, strategies focus on early identification and prevention. Kinetic glomerular filtration rate (kGFR) was developed to assess renal function in the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/08998280.2017.11929596
Abstract: Venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) can provide temporary cardiopulmonary support for patients in hemodynamic extremis or refractory heart failure until more durable therapies—such as cardiac transplantation or a left ventricular assist device—can be safely implemented.… read more here.
