Journal ArticleDOI
Outcomes of Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Patients Recently Recovered From Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19).
Valentina O. Puntmann,M. Ludovica Carerj,Imke Wieters,Masia Fahim,Christophe T. Arendt,Jedrzej Hoffmann,Anastasia Shchendrygina,Felicitas Escher,Mariuca Vasa-Nicotera,Andreas M. Zeiher,Maria J G T Vehreschild,Eike Nagel +11 more
TL;DR: Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging revealed cardiac involvement and ongoing myocardial inflammation in patients with recent coronavirus disease 2019, which was independent of preexisting conditions, severity and overall course of the acute illness, and the time from the original diagnosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Association of Cardiac Infection With SARS-CoV-2 in Confirmed COVID-19 Autopsy Cases.
Diana Lindner,Antonia Fitzek,Hanna Bräuninger,Ganna Aleshcheva,C. Edler,Kira Meissner,Katharina Scherschel,Paulus Kirchhof,Felicitas Escher,Heinz-Peter Schultheiss,Stefan Blankenberg,Klaus Püschel,Dirk Westermann +12 more
TL;DR: In this analysis of autopsy cases, viral presence within the myocardium could be documented and a response to this infection could be reported in cases with higher virus load vs no virus infection, this was not associated with an influx of inflammatory cells.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diastolic tissue Doppler indexes correlate with the degree of collagen expression and cross-linking in heart failure and normal ejection fraction.
Mario Kasner,Dirk Westermann,Begoña López,Regina Gaub,Felicitas Escher,Uwe Kühl,Heinz-Peter Schultheiss,Carsten Tschöpe +7 more
TL;DR: Patients with HFNEF showed increased content of myocardial collagen type I, enhanced collagen cross-linking, and LOX expression, which were associated with impaired diastolic tissue Doppler parameters.
Journal ArticleDOI
Detection of viral SARS-CoV-2 genomes and histopathological changes in endomyocardial biopsies.
Felicitas Escher,Heiko Pietsch,Ganna Aleshcheva,Thomas Bock,Christian Baumeier,Albrecht Elsaesser,Philip Wenzel,Christian W. Hamm,Ralph Westenfeld,Maximilian Schultheiss,Ulrich Gross,Lars Morawietz,Heinz-Peter Schultheiss +12 more
TL;DR: The novel coronavirus SARS‐CoV‐2 has spread rapidly throughout China and keeps the world in suspense, and the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms remain to be investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Toll-like receptor-4 deficiency attenuates doxorubicin-induced cardiomyopathy in mice.
Alexander Riad,Sandra Bien,Matthias Gratz,Felicitas Escher,Dirk Westermann,Markus M. Heimesaat,Stefan Bereswill,Thomas Krieg,Stephan B. Felix,Heinz P. Schultheiss,Heyo K. Kroemer,Carsten Tschöpe +11 more
TL;DR: This work investigated whether or not TLR4 is involved in Dox‐induced cardiotoxicity, and found that it is not.
