Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of left ventricular lead position in cardiac resynchronization therapy on left ventricular remodelling. A circumferential strain analysis based on 2D echocardiography
Michael Becker,Rafael Kramann,Andreas Franke,Ole-A Breithardt,Nicole Heussen,Christian Knackstedt,Christoph Stellbrink,Patrick Schauerte,Malte Kelm,Rainer Hoffmann +9 more
TL;DR: Detailed analysis of the myocardial contraction sequence using circumferential strain imaging allows determination of the LV lead position in CRT, which results in greater improvement in LV function and more LV reverse remodelling than non-optimalLV lead position.
Journal ArticleDOI
Acute effects of cardiac resynchronization therapy on left ventricular Doppler indices in patients with congestive heart failure.
Ole-A Breithardt,Christoph Stellbrink,Andreas Franke,Osman Balta,Björn Diem,Patricia F.A. Bakker,Stefan Sack,Angelo Auricchio,Thierry Pochet,Rodney W. Salo +9 more
TL;DR: CRT improves hemodynamic performance in patients with heart failure with intraventricular conduction delays, and FT, AO(VTI), and MPI are useful parameters for noninvasive follow-up and optimization of pacing parameters.
Journal ArticleDOI
A coronary embolus originating from the interatrial septum.
TL;DR: Thrombotic occlusion of the left circumflex artery was diagnosed by coronary angiography and sucessfully recanalized and normal global left ventricular levels were found.

Journal Article
Association of NT-proBNP with severity of heart valve disease in a medical patient population presenting with acute dyspnea or peripheral edema.

TL;DR: In addition to clinical assessment and echocardiographic evaluation, the measurement of plasma NT-proBNP levels may serve as a valuable additional indicator of the severity of heart valve disease in individual patients.
