DOI: 10.1002/lt.24846
Abstract: Late allocation of organs for transplant impairs post–liver transplantation (LT) survival. Cardiac dysfunction, especially diastolic and autonomic dysfunction, is frequent and plays an important role in the prognosis of patients with cirrhosis. However, the role… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ijcard.2020.11.068
Abstract: The inability of one of the two or both ventricles to contract normally and expel sufficient blood to meet the functional demands of the body results from a complex interplay between intrinsic abnor-malities and extracardiac… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/s0735-1097(17)34430-3
Abstract: Background: Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR), a treatment of severe aortic stenosis in high-risk patients, results in afterload reduction and change in myocardial contractility. We aimed to determine the predictors of intraoperative change in myocardial… read more here.

DOI: 10.1152/physiol.2023.38.s1.5723666
Abstract: Myocardial contractility (MC) is commonly defined in a vague matter as the intrinsic contractile property of cardiac muscle, or its ability to generate force and shorten. This understanding is insufficient. In this abstract, we propose… read more here.
