TL;DR: High-doseDobutamine magnetic resonance tomography can be performed with a standard dobutamine/atropine stress protocol and yields a significantly higher diagnostic accuracy in comparison to DSE.

TL;DR: Strain and strain rate data provide valuable prognostic information, especially prediction of future reverse remodelling after left ventricular restoration surgery or after cardiac resynchronization therapy and prediction of short and median-term outcome without transplantation or ventricular assist device implantation of patients referred for heart transplantation.

TL;DR: High frequencies of IE-1 but not pp65-specific CD8 T cells correlate with protection from CMV disease, which has important implications for monitoring T cell responses, adoptive cell therapy, and vaccine design.

TL;DR: The results support the use of sequential immunochemotherapy with rituximab and CHOP in PTLD and help to avoid the toxic effects of CHOP on patients with post-transplantation lymphoproliferative disorder.

TL;DR: For selected patients with IDCM, weaning from LVADs is a clinical option with good results over >9 years and should, therefore, be considered in those with cardiac recovery after LVAD implantation.
