ABSTRACT Background and Aims Cardiac surgery patients often present challenging airways and limited cardiopulmonary reserves, necessitating meticulous preoperative assessment by the anesthesia team. This observational st...

Background: Cardiac surgery is associated with a significant risk of postoperative pulmonary embolism (PE), a life-threatening complication. This study sought to evaluate the epidemiology, associated factors, and clinica...

ABSTRACT Background and Aims Myocardial injury after non‐cardiac surgery (MINS) is a significant postoperative complication. In 2022, the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) updated its guidelines, recommending periop...

Abstract Background Cardiac herniation is a rare but potentially fatal complication that may occur after surgery involving pericardial incision or resection. Most cases develop intraoperatively or in the early postoperat...

Abstract Background Perioperative diastolic dysfunction has been proposed as an independent predictor of postoperative major adverse cardiac events (MACE) after noncardiac surgery. However, prior studies have largely foc...

BackgroundComplex congenital heart disease (CHD) has long been a significant cause of infant mortality and severe morbidity. However, pediatric cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is gaining recognition, and evidence regarding p...

BackgroundMyocardial injury after non-cardiac surgery (MINS) contributes to mortality after major open abdominal surgery. While intraoperative hypotension (IOH) is a proposed cause, its impact—defined using comprehensi...

Abstract One in two cardiac patients fear having another heart event or their cardiac condition worsening. Assessment of fear of recurrence and progression (FoRP) is critical to effective clinical care and chronic diseas...

Background and aimCardiac surgery requiring cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is associated with a high rate of postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs). Mechanical power (MP) represents energy per breath multiplied by re...

Abstract Introduction: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), associated with worse clinical outcomes. However, its impact on functional outcomes remains uncerta...

Abstract The sympathetic nervous system (SNS) plays a critical role in regulating inflammatory responses after myocardial infarction (MI). We aimed to investigate whether modulation of the SNS through renal denervation (...

Prekallikrein (PK) and selective IgA deficiencies are rare, and their coexistence in a cardiac transplant patient presents unique challenges. These disorders affect anticoagulation monitoring and transfusion safety, nece...

Abstract Background The contact activation system is triggered when blood comes into contact with artificial surfaces. Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) induces such activation, however the extent of factor XII (FXII) reducti...

The early postoperative period in infants following the correction of congenital heart defects is often accompanied by hemodynamic lability, systemic stress, and an acute-phase response, which may lead to transient organ...

Abstract Background Adrenaline is an emergency medication used in critical situations. However data on its early adverse events after intravenous injection are limited. Therefore, the goal of this study is to describe th...

Abstract Background Down syndrome (DS) is the most common chromosomal disorder associated with congenital heart disease (CHD). However, data on CHD patterns, survival, and mortality predictors among individuals with DS i...

Introduction: Low-voltage electrical injuries are generally considered low risk but can cause significant thermal injury when current is concentrated through conductive materials. Circumferential neck burns from mobile p...
