Journal ArticleDOI
(–)-Epicatechin mediates beneficial effects of flavanol-rich cocoa on vascular function in humans
Hagen Schroeter,Christian Heiss,Christian Heiss,Jan Balzer,Petra Kleinbongard,Carl L. Keen,Norman K. Hollenberg,Helmut Sies,Catherine Kwik-Uribe,Harold H. Schmitz,Malte Kelm +10 more
TL;DR: The data demonstrate that the human ingestion of the flavanol (-)-epicatechin is, at least in part, causally linked to the reported vascular effects observed after the consumption of flavanol-rich cocoa.
Journal ArticleDOI
Percutaneous Mitral Valve Edge-to-Edge Repair: In-Hospital Results and 1-Year Follow-Up of 628 Patients of the 2011–2012 Pilot European Sentinel Registry

TL;DR: This independent, contemporary registry shows that TMVR is associated with high immediate success, low complication rates, and sustained 1-year reduction of the severity of mitral regurgitation and improvement of clinical symptoms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plasma nitrite concentrations reflect the degree of endothelial dysfunction in humans
Petra Kleinbongard,Andre Dejam,Andre Dejam,Thomas Lauer,Thomas W. Jax,Stefan Kerber,Putrika Prastuti Ratna Gharini,Jan Balzer,Rainer B. Zotz,Rüdiger E. Scharf,Reinhart Willers,Alan N. Schechter,Martin Feelisch,Malte Kelm +13 more
TL;DR: Plasma nitrite levels are reliably measurable in humans, indicate endothelial dysfunction, and correlate with cardiovascular risk factors, and future studies are necessary to identify the prognostic relevance of plasma nitrite determination in patients suffering from cardiovascular disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sustained benefits in vascular function through flavanol-containing cocoa in medicated diabetic patients a double-masked, randomized, controlled trial.
Jan Balzer,Tienush Rassaf,Christian Heiss,Petra Kleinbongard,Thomas Lauer,Marc W. Merx,Nicole Heussen,Heidrun B. Gross,Carl L. Keen,Hagen Schroeter,Malte Kelm +10 more
TL;DR: Diets rich in flavanols reverse vascular dysfunction in diabetes, highlighting therapeutic potentials in cardiovascular disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nitric oxide synthase derived plasma nitrite predicts exercise capacity
Tienush Rassaf,Thomas Lauer,Christian Heiss,Jan Balzer,Sarah Mangold,Thorsten Leyendecker,Jessica Rottler,Christine Drexhage,Christian Meyer,Malte Kelm +9 more
TL;DR: A role for plasma nitrite in the adaptation of haemodynamics during exercise is suggested, as an impaired increase in nitrite may limit exercise capacity.
