    Abstract Background: Anemia and chronic kidney disease (CKD) adversely affect prognosis following acute myocardial infarction (AMI). We aimed to assess their interaction regarding long-term survival post-AMI.
    Methods: This is a single-center, retrospective analysis of consecutive AMI survivors. Stratified by admission-time anemia status and CKD grade, as determined by hemoglobin and creatinine levels, the cohort was evaluated for all-cause mortality at 10 years after hospital discharge.
    Results: A total of 11,395 patients (69.1% males, mean age 65.8 ± 13.9 years, 49.6% with ST elevation MI) were included, of whom 29.9% had anemia and 15.9% - grade 3b or higher CKD. CKD was more advanced among anemic patients and the prevalence of anemia rose as CKD grade increased (p for trend < 0.001). At 10 years, 47.8% of patients died. Notwithstanding differences in baseline characteristics, presentation, and treatment between those with various anemia status and CKD grades, anemia presence (HR 1.40, 95% CI 1.32-1.49, p < 0.001) and increasing CKD grade (HR 1.10, 95% CI 1.02-1.20, p for trend < 0.001) were independently associated with a higher mortality risk. The incremental hazard imposed by either anemia or more advanced CKD was limited to patients with normal renal function and up to grade 3a (in the total cohort and the conservative treatment subgroup) or 4 (in the invasive revascularization subgroup) CKD. The added risk associated with increasing CKD grade also affected non-anemic individuals irrespective of the specific CKD grade.
    Conclusion: Anemia and more advanced CKD are associated with reduced long-term survival post-AMI, inflicting higher risk when conjoined in lower-grade CKD.

    Abstract Coronary artery disease is highly prevalent in patients with chronic kidney disease. The concomitant renal disease often poses a major challenge in decision making as symptoms, cardiac biomarkers and noninvasive studies for evaluation of myocardial ischemia have different sensitivity and specificity thresholds in this specific population. Moreover, the effectiveness and safety of intervention and medical treatment in those patients is of great doubt as most clinical studies exclude patients with advance CKD. In the present paper, we discuss and review the literature in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of CAD in the acute and chronic setting, in patients with CKD.

    Abstract Introduction: End-stage renal disease (ESRD) is a major risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, which can be partially eliminated by kidney transplantation. Systolic heart failure might be considered as contraindication for kidney transplant although some patients demonstrate myocardial recovery post-transplant. We aim to identify and characterize the phenomenon of reverse myocardial remodelling in kidney transplanted patients.
    Methods: The study is a retrospective cohort of patients undergoing kidney transplant between 2016-2019 (n=604) at Rabin Medical Center. Patients were assessed according to availability of two echocardiographic examinations: pre- and post-kidney transplant. The change in estimated ejection fraction (EF) and possible predictors of myocardial recovery were examined.
    Results: Data of 293 patients was available for the final analysis. Eighty-one (28%) patients had a LVEF improvement equal or above 5%, whereas 36 (12%) patients had a LVEF improvement 10% or more post transplantation. Twenty-five patients (8.5%) had moderate or severe systolic heart failure with LVEF reduced to 40% or less at baseline. 13 of them (52%) had a LVEF improvement of ≥5% and 10 patients (40%) had an improvement of ≥10% in their EF. Cox regression analyses identified female gender as the only independent variable associated with LVEF improvement of at least 10%. Conclusion Renal transplantation might lead to improved LV systolic function in some patients.

    Abstract Rationale & objective: Kidney function can be adversely affected by significant tricuspid regurgitation (TR) owing to effects on cardiac output and systemic venous congestion. However, the impact of significant TR on short- and long-term kidney function following a kidney transplant remains uncertain.
    Study design: Retrospective observational cohort.
    Setting & participants: Kidney transplant recipients from a single center between 2016 and 2019.
    Exposure: Significant TR, defined by at least moderate regurgitation, on echocardiogram before kidney transplantation.
    Outcomes: Primary end points included the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) at the following 3 time points: 2 weeks, 3 months, and 1 year after transplantation. Secondary end points included major adverse cardiac events including nonfatal myocardial infarction, all-cause mortality, and hospitalization owing to cardiovascular disease.
    Analytical approach: Propensity score matching was performed in 1:3 ratio between patients treated with significant TR and controls, within a caliper 0.05 standard deviation of the propensity score, to analyze for the primary end point.
    Results: Among 557 kidney transplant recipients, 26 (5%) exhibited significant TR pretransplantation. According to propensity score matching analysis, with 1:3 ratio between 24 patients with significant TR and 72 controls, the presence of significant TR was associated with a lower eGFR posttransplantation. Specifically, the mean eGFR was 41.2 mL/min/1.73 m
    Limitations: Retrospective design and relatively small TR population.
    Conclusions: The presence of significant TR among kidney transplant recipients was associated with a lower eGFR at 2 weeks, 3 months, and 1 year following transplant, although all remained dialysis independent at 1 year.

    Abstract Little is known about the natural history of non-significant mitral and tricuspid regurgitation (MR and TR) following surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) for aortic regurgitation (AR). We retrospectively analyzed 184 patients (median age 64 (IQR, 55-74) years, 76.6% males) who underwent SAVR for AR. Subjects with significant non-aortic valvulopathies, prior/concomitant valvular interventions, or congenital heart disease were excluded. The cohort was evaluated for MR/TR progression and, based on the latter's occurrence, for echocardiographic and clinical indices of heart failure and mortality. By 5.8 (IQR, 2.8-11.0) years post-intervention, moderate or severe MR occurred in 20 (10.9%) patients, moderate or severe TR in 25 (13.5%), and either of the two in 36 (19.6%). Patients who developed moderate or severe MR/TR displayed greater biventricular disfunction and functional limitation and were less likely to be alive at 7.0 (IQR, 3.4-12.1) years compared to those who did not (47.2 vs. 79.7%,

    Abstract Background: A unique scanning protocol combining coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA) with routine abdominal CTA is being used at the Rabin Medical Center as a method of screening high-risk candidates for living kidney donation. We aim to evaluate the potential impact of coronary CTA on the decision regarding eligibility for kidney donation and its correlation with abdominal aortic calcification (AAC).
    Methods: CCTA and abdominal CTA results of potential living kidney donors evaluated for donation between September 2020 and November 2021 were retrieved. A retrospective analysis of the abdominal CTA was used to calculate the AAC. Patients' demographic, clinical, and imaging data were collected from the electronic files, as well as the final decision regarding eligibility for donation.
    Results: A total of 62 potential kidney donors were evaluated for donation using the combined scan. The mean age was 53.8 years, with male predominance (59.7%). Significant coronary artery stenosis (≥70% luminal stenosis) was present in two patients (3.2%), whereas five patients (8%) had moderate stenosis (50-69%). Thirteen patients (21%) were disqualified from donation due to moderate-to-significant coronary artery disease or abdominal atherosclerosis. The correlation between the coronary artery calcium score and the AAC was found to be positive, with a Pearson correlation coefficient of 0.88 (
    Conclusions: The use of coronary CTA in the evaluation of potential kidney donors may has a potential impact on the decision regarding eligibility for donation. A high correlation between the coronary artery calcium score and the AAC was found.

    Abstract Purpose: To evaluate the role of diabetes mellitus in the incidence, risk factors, and outcomes of AKI (acute kidney injury) in patients admitted with ACS (acute coronary syndrome).
    Methods: We performed a comparative evaluation of ACS patients with vs. without DM who developed AKI enrolled in the biennial ACS Israeli Surveys (ACSIS) between 2000 and 2018. AKI was defined as an absolute increase in serum creatinine (≥0.5 mg/dL) or above 1.5 mg/dL or new renal replacement therapy upon admission with ACS. Outcomes included 30-day major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and 1-year all-cause mortality.
    Results: The current study included a total of 16,879 patients, median age 64 (IQR 54-74), 77% males, 36% with DM. The incidence of AKI was significantly higher among patients with vs. without DM (8.4% vs. 4.7%,
    Conclusions: Although patients with DM are at much greater risk for AKI when admitted with ACS, the independent predictors of AKI and the worse patient outcomes when AKI occurs, are similar irrespective to DM status.
