TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated whether exercise intolerance is associated with poor outcome in Fontan patients and to identify risk factors for mortality, transplantation, and cardiac-related hospitalization.
Journal ArticleDOI
Percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation: two-centre experience with more than 100 patients
Andreas Eicken,Peter Ewert,Alfred Hager,Bjoern Peters,Sohrab Fratz,Titus Kuehne,Raymonde Busch,John Hess,Felix Berger +8 more
TL;DR: This study shows that PPVI is feasible and it improves the haemodynamics in a selected patient collective and the intervention is technically challenging and longer clinical follow-up is needed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Coarctation Long-term Assessment (COALA): Significance of arterial hypertension in a cohort of 404 patients up to 27 years after surgical repair of isolated coarctation of the aorta, even in the absence of restenosis and prosthetic material
TL;DR: The majority of patients were hypertensive at long-term follow-up after coarctation repair, and this is caused by restenosis, defined by a gradient of greater than 20 mm Hg, in only a few patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Importance of characteristics and modalities of physical activity and exercise in the management of cardiovascular health in individuals with cardiovascular risk factors : recommendations from the EACPR. Part II.

TL;DR: Recommendations for PA and exercise training in the management of cardiovascular health in individuals with cardiovascular risk factors are made and recommendations from the European Association on Cardiovascular Prevention and Rehabilitation are formulated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diameters of the thoracic aorta throughout life as measured with helical computed tomography
Alfred Hager,Harald Kaemmerer,Ulrike Rapp-Bernhardt,Sebastian Blücher,Karl Rapp,Thomas M. Bernhardt,Michael Galanski,John Hess +7 more
TL;DR: This study delineates normal intrathoracic aortic diameters for helical computed tomography, including relationships with sex and age, as well as recommending pathologic dimensions of the aorta should be provided as percentiles or z scores.
