Predictive Value of Hematologic Parameters for Detecting Asymptomatic Graft Rejection After Heart Transplant: Preliminary Results
(2015)
Objectives: Hematologic parameters, such as mean platelet volume, red-cell distribution width, and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, have prognostic value in multiple cardiac conditions such as stable angina pectoris, acute ...
Effect of Post-Transplant Cardiac Angiographic Procedures on Post-Transplant Renal Function
(2022)
Background. Cardiac interventions often are performed before and after renal transplant for coronary artery disease. The aim of this study was to investigate whether post-transplant cardiac coronary procedures affect ...
Risk factors for left atrial appendage thrombus
(2020)
Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common persistent rhythm disorder that has been shown to be associated with a significant increase in stroke risk. Left atrial appendage (LAA) thrombi are responsible for ...
The Effect of Renal Transplantation on Cardiac Functions
