    Right venticular loading conditions in left ventricular assist device recipients

    A ventricular assist device is a type of mechanical circulatory support used in patients with advanced heart failure. Left ventricular assist devices (LVAD) can be used as destination therapy, where they are an alternative to heart transplantation, bridge to transplant therapy or bridge to recovery therapy. The most common complication in the immediate postoperative period after LVAD implantation is right ventricular failure. It is challenging to determine which patients may develop right ventricular failure in the postoperative period, and there is no equivocal evidence in the literature suggesting which parameters might be optimal in predicting right ventricular failure (RVF). The aim of this study was to identify and obtain clinical, hemodynamic and echocardiographic parameters that could successfully predict RVF in LVAD recipients. For this we have studied 40 consecutive patients at the University Hospital Centre Zagreb in which we have measured parameters of heart geometry and function by echocardiography, as well as functional and hemodynamic values by right heart catheterization which were used in combination with clinical parameters for the prediction of early and late RVF

    Turizam je jedan od najvažnijih izvora financiranja u Hrvatskoj, stoga je važno na vrijeme uočiti pojedine faktore koji utječu na njega, kako bi se kao takav i dalje razvijao u najboljem mogućem svjetlu. Jedan od značajnih utjecaja na turizam ostavila je i neočekivana pojava pandemije Covid-19 u svijetu koja je sa sobom donijela brojne promjene. Njenom je pojavom doÅ”lo do varijacija u turističkim kretanjima u svijetu, pa tako i u Hrvatskoj te do brojnih drugih izmjena koje su naizgled negativne, no neke od njih ostavile su i pozitivan učinak na budućnost turizma Hrvatske. Održivi je turizam sve veća potreba danaÅ”njice, a pandemija je doprinijela takvom razvoju na različite načine. Mnoge restrikcije koje je pandemija nametnula u većini država omogućile su većini turističkih destinacija oporavak od prevelikog broja turista, buke i zagađenja. Pandemija je na taj način postavila dobru podlogu za novu prekretnicu ka boljem i odgovornijem turizmu u Republici Hrvatskoj te ostatku svijeta
