Abstract: Congestion is a major determinant of clinical outcomes in heart failure (HF). We compared the acute hemodynamic effects of occlusion of the superior (SVC) versus the inferior vena cava (IVC) and tested a novel SVC… read more here.

Abstract: End-stage heart failure (HF) can be successfully treated with heart transplantation (HTx), which reduces mortality and improves quality of life (QoL). Diastolic dysfunction and subsequently increased left ventricular (LV) filling pressures can be an early… read more here.
