Journal ArticleDOI

Mavacamten for treatment of symptomatic obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (EXPLORER-HCM): a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 3 trial

Iacopo Olivotto, +88 more
- 12 Sep 2020 - 
TL;DR: Treatment with mavacamten improved exercise capacity, LVOT obstruction, NYHA functional class, and health status in patients with obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and highlights the benefits of disease-specific treatment for this condition.
Journal ArticleDOI

Congenital heart surgery in infants: effects of acute kidney injury on outcomes.

TL;DR: Perioperative acute kidney injury is common in infant heart surgery and portends a poor clinical outcome and was associated with systemic ventricular dysfunction at hospital discharge.
Journal ArticleDOI

Left ventricular non-compaction cardiomyopathy.

TL;DR: Treating of arrhythmia and implantation of an automatic implantable cardioverter-defibrillator for prevention of sudden death are mainstays of therapy when deemed necessary and appropriate in patients with systolic dysfunction.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic predictors and remodeling of dilated cardiomyopathy in muscular dystrophy.

TL;DR: Early diagnosis and treatment of DCM may lead to ventricular remodeling in DMD/BMD patients and specific dystrophin gene mutations appear to be predictive of cardiac involvement, while other mutations may protect against or inhibit development ofDCM.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mortality and Sudden Death in Pediatric Left Ventricular Noncompaction in a Tertiary Referral Center

TL;DR: Left ventricular noncompaction has a high mortality rate and is strongly associated with arrhythmias in children, and preceding cardiac dysfunction or ventricular arrh rhythmias are associated with increased mortality.
