Associations Between Mean Arterial Pressure During Cardiopulmonary Bypass and Biomarkers of Cerebral Injury in Patients Undergoing Cardiac Surgery: Secondary Results from A Randomized Controlled Trial

Hyperglycemia During Cardiopulmonary Bypass is an Independent Risk Factor for Mortality in Patients Undergoing Cardiac Surgery

We assessed the influence of hyperglycemia (highest glucose level) during cardiopulmonary bypass on perioperative morbidity and mortality in diabetic and nondiabetic patients.

Should Eligibility for Heart Transplantation be a Requirement for Left Ventricular Assist Device Use? Recommendations Based on a Systematic Review

Left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) are used in chronic end-stage heart failure as "bridge to transplantation" (BTT) and, more recently, for transplant-ineligible patients as "destination therapy" (DT). We reviewed the evidence on clinical effects and cost-effectiveness of 2 types of continuous-flow LVADs (HeartMate II [HM II] and HeartWare), for BTT and DT patients.
