Journal ArticleDOI
Improved myocardial ischemic response and enhanced collateral circulation with long repetitive coronary occlusion during angioplasty: A prospective study
Alain Cribier,Luis Korsatz,René Koning,P C Rath,Habib Gamra,Günter Stix,Shahid Merchant,Charles Chan,Brice Letac +8 more
TL;DR: An improved tolerance to myocardial ischemia with repetitive coronary occlusions was demonstrated by a significant reduction of angina, ST segment deviation, left ventricular filling pressure and less impairment of ejection fraction, suggesting that enhancement of recruitable collateral circulation might be an underlying mechanism of myocardian ischemic preconditioning.
Journal ArticleDOI
Automatic home monitoring of implantable cardioverter defibrillators.
Jens Cosedis Nielsen,Hans Kottkamp,Markus Zabel,Etienne Aliot,Ulrich Kreutzer,Alexander Bauer,Andreas Schuchert,Hans Neuser,B. Schumacher,Herwig Schmidinger,Günter Stix,Jacques Clémenty,Dejan Danilovic,Gerhard Hindricks +13 more
TL;DR: Home monitoring is feasible and associated with an early detection of medical and technical events and functionality and safety of HM ICDs are evaluated.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of precordial lead displacement on ECG morphology
Michal Kania,Hervé Rix,Malgorzata Fereniec,H. Zavala-Fernandez,Dariusz Janusek,Tomasz Mroczka,Günter Stix,Roman Maniewski +7 more
TL;DR: Investigation of the effect of precordial electrodes displacement on morphology of the ECG signal in a group of 60 patients with diagnosed cardiac disease found lead V2 was the most sensitive to displacement errors, followed by leads V3, V1, and V4, for which the direction of electrodes displacement plays a key role.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microwave and radiofrequency ablation yield similar success rates for treatment of chronic atrial fibrillation.
Wilfried Wisser,Cäsar Khazen,Elena Deviatko,Günter Stix,Thomas Binder,Rainald Seitelberger,Herwig Schmidinger,Ernst Wolner +7 more
TL;DR: Following the Cox Maze III line concept, microwave and radiofrequency ablation gave similar results even in patients with more complex double or triple valve procedures, safe and reproducible.
Journal ArticleDOI
Implantable loop recorder in unexplained syncope: classification, mechanism, transient loss of consciousness and role of major depressive disorder in patients with and without structural heart disease
Thomas Pezawas,Günter Stix,Johannes Kastner,Barbara Schneider,Michael Wolzt,Herwig Schmidinger +5 more
TL;DR: The presence of SHD has little predictive value for the occurrence or type of arrhythmia in patients with unexplained syncope, and the ILR leads to specific treatment in half of all patients.
