When it occurs, presentation is usually obvious, and it carries high morbidity unless emergent and timely surgical treatment is instituted. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Internal Bleeding

  This crypto-symptomatic pancreatitis was not diagnosed until massive internal bleeding and hemorrhagic shock occurred, because the typical presentations of acute pancreatitis were masked by the intra-abdominal manifestations caused by right heart failure [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Surgical repair is usually the only definitive treatment for these patients because medical management is associated with a 30-day mortality approaching 100%. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Training in clinical management of heart failure includes supervised experience in both inpatient and outpatient settings and involves a spectrum of underlying etiologies for the heart failure. [heart.ucla.edu]

Possible etiologies including sympathetic denervation, ischemic injury to the sinus node, and graft ischemia. [openanesthesia.org]

We aim to review the epidemiology of coronary artery disease in this population and the etiology as it relates to ESRD and its associated co-factors. [academic.oup.com]

Implicated as well is that female heart failure patients may be up to 3 times more likely to refuse heart transplantation than men. 14 Finally, some series have suggested that when compared with men, women with advanced heart failure of nonischemic etiologies [doi.org]

We sought to determine the impact of valganciclovir (VGC) duration on the epidemiology of CMV infections after heart transplantation. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The primary goal of this fellowship is to provide a thorough knowledge of the diagnosis and treatment of congestive heart failure with an emphasis on pathophysiology, therapeutics, and prevention as well as on the humanistic, moral, and ethical aspects [heart.ucla.edu]

Evidence suggests that aerobic exercise training may be effective in reversing the pathophysiological consequences associated with cardiac denervation and prevent immunosuppression-induced adverse effects in heart transplant recipients. [cochrane.org]

The pathophysiology of the transplanted heart is unique. The denervation of the organ makes it dependent on its intrinsic rate. As a result of the lack of neuronal input, some left ventricular hypertrophy results. [emedicine.medscape.com]
