This experimental study shows that transient myocardial ischemia markedly increases the DFT, suggesting that specific defibrillation algorithms should be designed for recipients of implantable defibrillators at risk of myocardial ischemia.
Background: A growing proportion of transplant donors and recipients have a history of COVID-19 infection. This study sought to characterize clinical practice after recipient or donor COVID-19 infection.Methods: An online survey was distributed to heart transplant clinicians through a professional society message board and social media.

While there was significant variation in donor acceptance, as it relates to past
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
