About this counter-reaction to the Civil Rights Act and the religious arguments in favor of racial discrimination, see Williams 2010.Īmerican Academy of Religion. 574, 1983), conservative Christians gave up tax exemptions and racial segregation as a platform issue. But following the Supreme Court’s decision to deny a southern Fundamentalist university the right to ban interracial dating (Bob Jones University v. Jerry Falwell, founder in 1979 of the organization Moral Majority, and one of the Christian Right’s most emblematic figures, declared that it was the IRS’s withdrawal of tax exemptions that made many evangelical Protestants “realize that had to fight for lives” (Smith 2011, p. 335). The IRS’ decision triggered an important backlash from conservative Christians all over the country. In 1970, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), the Federal agency in charge of tax collection, decided to withdraw tax exemptions for private Christian schools and universities which refused to desegregate, as required by the Supreme Court and the 1964 Civil Rights Act. One in every 10 left ventricular assist device patients demonstrates partial or complete myocardial recovery and should be targeted for functional assessment and optimization.Ĭardiomyopathy heart failure left ventricular assist device myocardium reverse remodeling.Religious schools traditionally receive tax exemptions in the United States, because, as churches, they are considered “charitable institutions”. Myocardial recovery is a spectrum of improvement rather than a binary clinical end point. Complete and partial recovery rates have declined in parallel with recent changes observed in device indications and technology. Importantly, 9% of all left ventricular assist device patients who were not explanted for recovery have demonstrated substantial improvement in left ventricular ejection fraction (partial recovery) and had remarkable overlap in clinical characteristic profile compared with patients who were explanted for recovery (complete recovery). Use of neurohormonal blockers on left ventricular assist device support was significantly higher in patients who were explanted for recovery. Patients with myocarditis (7.7%), postpartum cardiomyopathy (4.4%), and adriamycin-induced cardiomyopathy (4.1%) had highest rates of device explantation for recovery. Independent predictors of device explantation for recovery were age <50 years (odds ratio 2.5), nonischemic etiology (OR 5.4), time since initial diagnosis <2 years (OR 3.4), suboptimal heart failure therapy before implant (OR 2.2), left ventricular end-diastolic diameter <6.5 cm (OR 1.7), pulmonary systolic artery pressure <50 mm Hg (OR 2.0), blood urea nitrogen <30 mg/dL (OR 3.3), and axial-flow device (OR 7.6). Device explant rates for myocardial recovery were 0.9% at 1-year, 1.9% at 2-year, and 3.1% at 3-year follow-up. Thirteen thousand four hundred fifty-four adult patients were studied. This study sought to investigate myocardial recovery using multicenter data from the Interagency Registry for Mechanically Assisted Circulatory Support (INTERMACS). Time course and predictors of myocardial recovery on contemporary left ventricular assist device support are poorly defined because of limited number of recovery patients at any implanting center.
