Impact of left ventricular assist device implantation on right ventricular-pulmonary arterial coupling assessed by high-fidelity hemodynamics.
Journal article J Heart Lung Transplant · April 2026 BACKGROUND: Postoperative right ventricular (RV) adaptation to left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation remains poorly characterized. RV-pulmonary artery (PA) coupling, defined as the ratio of end-systolic to arterial elastance (Ees/Ea), provides ...

Journal article Anesth Analg · October 1, 2025 BACKGROUND: The right ventricle-pulmonary artery (RV-PA) coupling ratio provides an assessment of RV function indexed to PA afterload. A low preoperative RV-PA ratio has been associated with increased mortality after transcatheter procedures. In patients u ... Full text Link to item CiteMitochondrial Dysfunction in Cardiac Surgery.
Journal article Anesthesiol Clin · June 2025 Mitochondria are key to the cellular response to energetic demands, but are also vital to reactive oxygen species signaling, calcium hemostasis, and regulation of cell death. Cardiac surgical patients with diabetes, heart failure, advanced age, or cardiomy ... Full text Link to item CiteRecent Grants
