    Abstract We describe a patient who presented with respiratory failure, chest pain, and fever. In the COVID-19 pandemic era, the focus was diverted to the coronavirus infection, and ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction was missed. Although we need to be vigilant in the diagnosis of COVID-19, we should not forget about the common disorders. (

    Abstract The preCARDIA system is a device combining a balloon-mounted catheter and an extracorporeal system designed for intermittent occlusion of the superior vena cava. Studies have established safety and efficacy in acute decompensated heart failure. We present a single-center experience detailing 90 days outcomes and procedural insights. A 24 hours therapy session demonstrated reduced pulmonary wedge pressures and increased urine output, with cardiac output remaining unchanged. There was one readmission and no heart failure-related readmissions at 90 days. The preCARDIA device appears to be a safe mechanical diuretic strategy to manage patients with acute decompensated heart failure beyond current therapeutic strategies.

    Abstract Background: Desensitization is one of the strategies to reduce antibodies and facilitate heart transplantation in highly sensitized patients. We describe our center's desensitization experience with combination of plasma cell (PC) depletion therapy (with proteasome inhibitor or daratumumab) and costimulation blockade (with belatacept).
    Methods: We reviewed five highly sensitized patients who underwent desensitization therapy with plasma cell depletion and costimulation blockade. We evaluated the response to therapy by measuring the changes in cPRA, average MFI, and number of positive beads > 5000MFI.
    Results: Five patients, mean age of 56 (37-66) years with average cPRA of 98% at 5000 MFI underwent desensitization therapy. After desensitization, mean cPRA decreased from 98% to 70% (p = .09), average number of beads > 5000 MFI decreased from 59 to 37 (p = .15), and average MFI of beads > 5000 MFI decreased from 16713 to 13074 (p = .26).
    Conclusion: Combined PC depletion and CoB could be a reasonable strategy for sustained reduction in antibodies in highly sensitized patients being listed for heart transplantation.

    Abstract Heart failure (HF) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, with limited curative options. Palliative care is a holistic, symptom based approach to patients that has been proven to improve the quality of life for both patients and their caregivers. In this review we will summarize the epidemiology of end stage HF and the data supporting the use of palliative care in this patient population. We will also review basic principles of palliative care as they apply to caring for end stage patients.

    Abstract We sought to evaluate whether differences in left ventricular assist device (LVAD) canula alignment are associated with stroke. There is a paucity of clinical data on contribution of LVAD canulae alignment to strokes. We conducted a retrospective analysis of patients who underwent LVAD implantation at Houston Methodist hospital from 2011 to 2016 and included those who had undergone cardiac computed tomography (CT) with contrast. LVAD graft alignment using X-ray, echocardiography, and cardiac CT was evaluated. The primary outcome was stroke within 1 year of LVAD implantation. Of the 101 patients that underwent LVAD Implantation and cardiac CT scan during the study period, 78 met inclusion criteria. The primary outcome occurred in 12 (15.4%) patients with a median time to stroke of 77 days (interquartile range: 42-132 days). Of these, 10 patients had an ischemic and two had hemorrhagic strokes. The predominant device type was Heart Mate II (94.8%). Patients with LVAD outflow cannula to aortic angle lesser than 37.5° and those with outflow graft diameter of anastomosis less than 1.5 cm (assessed by cardiac CT) had significantly higher stroke risk (
