Yoonjee Park, Darae Kim, Jeong Hoon Yang, Yang Hyun Cho, Jin-Oh Choi, Eun-Seok Jeon
Korean J Intern Med. 2022;37(2):340-349. Published online December 7, 2021
Background/Aims: The continuous flow left ventricular assist device (cf-LVAD) has improved the survival of chronic end-stage heart failure (HF) patients. Here we describe our clinical experience of the initial 50 LVAD patients from a single center.
Methods: A total of 50 patients underwent LVAD imp..

Korean J Intern Med. 2019;34(5):1030-1039. Published online October 16, 2018
Background/Aims: It is unknown whether different β-blockers (BBs) have variable effects on long-term survival of patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). This study compares the effects of two BBs, carvedilol and bisoprolol, on survival in patients with HFrEF.
Methods: ..

A Young Lim, Ji Hyeon Lee, Ki Sun Jung, Hye Bin Gwag, Do Hee Kim, Seok Jin Kim, Ga Yeon Lee, Jung Sun Kim, Hee-Jin Kim, Soo-Youn Lee, Jung Eun Lee, Eun-Seok Jeon, Kihyun Kim
Korean J Intern Med. 2015;30(4):496-505. Published online June 29, 2015
Background/Aims: The gastrointestinal (GI) tract often becomes involved in patients with systemic amyloidosis. As few GI amyloidosis data have been reported, we describe the clinical features and outcomes of patients with pathologically proven GI amyloidosis.
Methods: We identified 155 patients dia..
