Journal of the Saudi Heart Association
Objective Cardiac allograft vasculopathy is one of the leading causes of late graft failure and subsequent death in orthotopic heart transplant. Although invasive coronary angiography is the gold standard modality for detection of cardiac allograft vasculopathy, dobutamine stress echocardiography has been recently frequently used as an alternative. Our aim was to evaluate the diagnostic performance of dobutamine stress echocardiography for detection of cardiac allograft vasculopathy in transplant patients. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted using a total of 150 dobutamine stress echocardiographic exams that were performed on 99 patients in our institution, with paired coronary angiogram and no acute rejection, …

The Branislav “Brano” Radovancevic Heart Failure Forum (BHFF) was established in 2008. Each year, experts in the field of heart failure gather to learn, discuss and debate the recent advances and theories related to diagnostics and therapeutics. The 12th Annual BHFF was held September 18-21, 2019, in Belgrade, Serbia, and was attended by over 350 participants from 15 countries. Over four days, seventeen separate sessions focused on challenges and solutions related to mechanical circulatory support and heart transplantation. For the first time, a summary of selected presentations was organized and presented herein.

Journal of the Saudi Heart Association
Background: Tricuspid valve regurgitation may affect the outcomes after heart transplantation. There is a paucity of data reporting the outcomes of heart transplants in our region. The objectives of this study were to report the occurrence of tricuspid regurgitation after heart transplantation, its course, and its effect on survival.
Methods: From 2009 to 2019, 30 patients had heart transplantation at our cardiac center. Their age was 36.73± 13.5 years, and 25 (83.33%) were males. Indications for transplantation were dilated cardiomyopathy (n= 21; 72.41%), ischemic cardiomyopathy (n= 8; 26.67%) and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (n=1; 3.45%). Cardiopulmonary bypass time was 157.24± 34.6 minutes, …
