Frank van Buuren,Klaus Peter Mellwig,Lothar Faber,Christian Prinz,Andreas Fruend,Johannes B. Dahm,T. Kottmann,Nikola Bogunovic,Dieter Horstkotte,Thomas Butz,Thomas Butz,Christoph Langer +11 more
TL;DR: Not only endurance training, but also sports activity with a relevant static component, like team handball, might predispose for AF above the age of 50.
Journal ArticleDOI
HELP apheresis in hypercholesterolemia and cardiovascular disease: efficacy and adverse events after 8,500 procedures.
TL;DR: HELP can reduce the burden of atherosclerosis, with no myocardial infarction and a low coronary intervention rate in the authors' patients, and is a safe, comfortable, and highly effective treatment in which adverse events are rare.
Journal ArticleDOI
Left ventricular mass and oxygen uptake in top handball athletes.
F. van Buuren,Klaus Peter Mellwig,Thomas Butz,Christoph Langer,Christian Prinz,Andreas Fruend,T. Kottmann,Nikola Bogunovic,J. B. Dahm,Lothar Faber,Dieter Horstkotte +10 more
TL;DR: In professional handball players early repolarisation abnormalities were less frequent and LVmass was increased when compared with soccer players and the need for normal values for different types of sports is crucial to guarantee a proper evaluation of athletes.
Journal ArticleDOI
[Constrictive pericarditis or restrictive cardiomyopathy? Echocardiographic tissue Doppler analysis].
Thomas Butz,Lothar Faber,Cornelia Piper,C. Langer,T. Kottmann,Henning K. Schmidt,Marcus Wiemer,R Körfer,Dieter Horstkotte +8 more
TL;DR: TDI of the early diastolic velocity of the mitral annulus E} makes it possible to differentiate between constrictive pericarditis and restrictive cardiomyopathy and should be part of the echocardiographic work-up in clinical routine.
