Association of Parvovirus B19 Genome in Children With Myocarditis and Cardiac Allograft Rejection Diagnosis Using the Polymerase Chain Reaction
Kenneth O. Schowengerdt,Jiyuan Ni,Susan W. Denfield,Robert J. Gajarski,Neil E. Bowles,Geoffrey L. Rosenthal,Debra L. Kearney,J K Price,Beverly Barton Rogers,Gail M. Schauer,Richard E. Chinnock,Jeffrey A. Towbin +11 more
TL;DR: Parvovirus genome identified through PCR analysis of cardiac tissue in the clinical setting of myocarditis and cardiac allograft rejection may be a potential contributor to cardiac transplant rejection.
Journal Article
Restrictive cardiomyopathies in childhood. Etiologies and natural history.
Susan W. Denfield,Geoffrey L. Rosenthal,Robert J. Gajarski,Bricker Jt,Kenneth O. Schowengerdt,J K Price,J.A. Towbin +6 more
TL;DR: In conclusion, restrictive cardiomyopathy in childhood is commonly idiopathic or associated with cardiac hypertrophy, and the prognosis is poor; therefore, transplantation should be considered early.
Journal Article
Infection after pediatric heart transplantation: Results of a multiinstitutional study
TL;DR: Although most infections in pediatric heart transplant recipients are successfully treated, infection remains an important cause of posttransplantation morbidity and death, especially in infants.
Journal Article
Diagnosis, surveillance, and epidemiologic evaluation of viral infections in pediatric cardiac transplant recipients with the use of the polymerase chain reaction.
Kenneth O. Schowengerdt,J Ni,Susan W. Denfield,Robert J. Gajarski,B. Radovancevic,H O Frazier,Gail J. Demmler,Debra L. Kearney,Bricker Jt,J.A. Towbin +9 more
TL;DR: Polymerase chain reactions may be used as a rapid and sensitive method to evaluate postoperative viral infections in heart transplant recipients, especially in those with late-onset rejection or chronic rejection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Safety and efficacy of pravastatin therapy for the prevention of hyperlipidemia in pediatric and adolescent cardiac transplant recipients
Matthew G Penson,F. Jay Fricker,Jeffrey R. Thompson,Kelli Harker,Barbara J Williams,Deborah A Kahler,Kenneth O. Schowengerdt +6 more
TL;DR: Pravastatin therapy is effective and safe when used in pediatric and adolescent cardiac transplant recipients and long-term studies are required to evaluate the effect of pravastin therapy on the incidence of accelerated coronary atherosclerosis in this population.
