Journal ArticleDOI
Cheyne-Stokes respiration and obstructive sleep apnoea are independent risk factors for malignant ventricular arrhythmias requiring appropriate cardioverter-defibrillator therapies in patients with congestive heart failure.
Thomas Bitter,Nina Westerheide,Christian Prinz,Mohamed Sajid Hossain,Juergen Vogt,Christoph Langer,Dieter Horstkotte,Olaf Oldenburg +7 more
TL;DR: In patients with CHF, CSA and OSA are independently associated with an increased risk for ventricular arrhythmias and appropriate cardioverter-defibrillator therapies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diagnostic Accuracy of a Hand-Held Ultrasound Scanner in Routine Patients Referred for Echocardiography
Christian Prinz,Jens-Uwe Voigt +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the imaging capabilities of recent hand-held ultrasound scanners and compared them with high-end echocardiography (HIGH) to assess the left ventricular (LV) dimensions, regional and global LV function, and grades of valve disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relationship of visually assessed apical rocking and septal flash to response and long-term survival following cardiac resynchronization therapy (PREDICT-CRT).
Ivan Stanković,Ivan Stanković,Christian Prinz,Agnieszka Ciarka,Ana Maria Daraban,Martin Kotrc,Marit Aarones,Mariola Szulik,Stefan Winter,Ann Belmans,Aleksandar N. Neskovic,Tomasz Kukulski,Svend Aakhus,Rik Willems,Wolfgang Fehske,Martin Penicka,Lothar Faber,Jens-Uwe Voigt +17 more
TL;DR: A specific LV mechanical dyssynchrony pattern, characterized by ApRock and SF, is associated with a more favourable long-term survival after CRT and both parameters are also indicators of an effective therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adaptive servoventilation in diastolic heart failure and Cheyne–Stokes respiration
Thomas Bitter,Nina Westerheide,Lothar Faber,Detlef Hering,Christian Prinz,Christoph Langer,Dieter Horstkotte,Olaf Oldenburg +7 more
TL;DR: ASV effectively attenuates CSR in patients with HFNEF and improves heart failure symptoms and cardiac function and whether or not this is accompanied by an improved prognosis remains to be determined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Alcohol septal ablation in patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy: low incidence of sudden cardiac death and reduced risk profile
Morten Kvistholm Jensen,Christian Prinz,Dieter Horstkotte,Frank van Buuren,Thomas Bitter,Lothar Faber,Henning Bundgaard +6 more
TL;DR: The number of RFs, including the prevalence of NSVT, was markedly reduced by ASA and the incidence of SCD was correspondingly low, thus, clinically applied ASA was safe.
