DOI: 10.1111/tid.13137
Abstract: A 68‐year‐old man presented for outpatient evaluation of dyspnea and new‐onset atrial fibrillation 9 months after undergoing bilateral lung transplantation. Echocardiography prior to cardioversion raised concern for tamponade. Therapeutic pericardiocentesis returned fluid containing 1875 wbc/mcl… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2021.647812
Abstract: Introduction: Pericardial fluid is enriched with biologically active molecules of cardiovascular origin including microRNAs. Investigation of the disease-specific extracellular microRNAs could shed light on the molecular processes underlying disease development. Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC)… read more here.
