The HTX-Board: A Rapid Prototyping Station
The Hypertransport technology as a chip-to-chip and board-to-board interconnect technology is a well established standard, used in various computing systems. New is the standardization of an expansion slot with direct Hypertransport connection, called HTX. The opportunity of such a direct I/O interface led to the development of a rapid prototyping station with a HTX connector, pluggable into an...
متن کاملCardiac Surgery After Heart Transplantation: Elective Operation or Last Exit Strategy?
Background Because of improved long-term survival after heart transplantation (HTx), late graft pathologies such as valvular disease or cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV) might need surgical intervention to enhance longer survival and ensure quality of life. To this date, there exist no guidelines for indication of cardiac surgery other than retransplantation after HTx. Methods In this retr...
متن کاملCardiac transplantation is still the method of choice in the treatment of patients with severe heart failure.
A significant progress in the treatment of heart failure occurred during the last 20 years. These advances were associated with the introduction and subsequent widespread use of angiotensin- -converting enzyme inhibitors and beta blockers, but also with progress in device therapy and cardiac surgery. Overall, prognosis in patients with severe heart failure is similar to outcomes reported in mul...
متن کاملExploiting the HTX-Board as a Coprocessor for Exact Arithmetics
Certain numerical computations benefit from dedicated computation units, e.g. providing increased computation accuracy. Exploiting current interconnection technologies and advances in reconfigurable logic, restrictions and drawbacks of past approaches towards application-specific units can be overcome. This paper presents our implementation of an FPGA-based hardware unit for exact arithmetics. ...
متن کاملLong-term use of amiodarone before heart transplantation significantly reduces early post-transplant atrial fibrillation and is not associated with increased mortality after heart transplantation.
BACKGROUND Amiodarone is a frequently used antiarrhythmic drug in patients with end-stage heart failure. Given its long half-life, pre-transplant use of amiodarone has been controversially discussed, with divergent results regarding morbidity and mortality after heart transplantation (HTX). AIM The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of long-term use of amiodarone before HTX on e...
