To quantify the prevalence of coronary artery calcification (CAC) in relation to cardiovascular risk factors marathon runners, and study its role for myocardial damage events.In 108 apparently healthy male runners aged >or=50 years, with >or=5 competitions during previous three running history, Framingham score (FRS), CAC, presence late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) were measured. Control groups matched by age (8:1) FRS (2:1) from Heinz Nixdorf Recall Study. The was lower than age-matched...
Purpose: To prospectively analyze the myocardial distribution of late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) with delayed-enhancement cardiac magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, to compare prevalence this in nonprofessional male marathon runners that asymptomatic control subjects, and examine prognostic role LGE. Materials Methods: Institutional review board ethics committee approval were obtained for study, all subjects provided written informed consent. Two-dimensional inversion-recovery segmented...
To evaluate the efficacy of pulsed high-dose corticosteroids combined with orally administered low-dose methotrexate therapy in patients severe localized scleroderma (LS).A prospective, nonrandomized, open pilot study.Dermatology department at a university hospital Bochum, Germany. Patients Fifteen histologically confirmed LS. Interventions Oral (15 mg/wk) intravenous methylprednisolone (1000 mg for 3 days monthly) least 6 months.Treatment outcome was evaluated by means clinical score,...
Introduction Exercise is thought to stimulate the release of hematopoietic and endothelial progenitor cells (EPC) from bone marrow. Little known about influence strenuous exercise on content circulating cells. The aim this study was investigate a marathon race amount immediately after in advanced-aged runners. Methods Sixty-eight healthy runners (age: 57 ± 6 years) were included study. Blood cell counts evaluated by standard methods, before quantified fluorescence-activated sorter (FACS)....
We sought to determine the patency and clinical symptom relief of Venovo venous stent in endovascular treatment non-thrombotic (NIVL) or post-thrombotic obstruction (PTO) iliofemoral track over a period 6 months.A total 80 patients (45 female, mean age 57 years) treated 2016 2017 were included Arnsberg registry. Clinical improvement was determined by revised severity score (rVCSS) as well clinical, etiologic, anatomic pathophysiologic (CEAP) score. Primary secondary evaluated using duplex...
To evaluate the performance of a closed-cell designed venous stent for treatment chronic ilio-femoral outflow obstruction (VOO) in shortterm.Safety, patency and clinical outcome after placement Vici Venous Stent® patients with were assessed retrospectively. Stent was evaluated by duplex ultrasound scanning, determined using revised Clinical Severity score (rVCSS).75 (49 % female; median age 57 years; 82 limbs) symptomatic significant VOO had stents placed veins. Lower limb skin changes...
Aims To evaluate the pre-clinical feasibility of real-time magnetic resonance imaging (rtMRI) to guide stent-graft placement for experimental aortic dissection (AD) and alleviate disadvantages ionising radiation nephrotoxic contrast media. Endovascular thoracic disease is usually performed under X-ray guidance. The rtMRI-guided currently not known.
To assess the visibility of small myocardial lesions at magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and to estimate how much damage is necessary enable detection late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) in vivo.The study was approved by local bioethics committee. Coronary microembolization performed injecting 300,000 microspheres into distal portion left anterior descending artery 18 anesthetized minipigs create multifocal areas damage. In vivo MR a mean 6 hours after using an inversion-recovery spoiled...
The implementation of chest pain centers (CPC)/units (CPU) has been shown to improve emergency care in patients with suspected cardiac ischemia.In an effort provide a systematic and specific standard for acute pain, the Society Cardiovascular Patient Care (SCPC) as well German Cardiac (GCS) introduced criteria accreditation specialized units.To date, 825 CPCs United States 194 CPUs Germany have successfully certified by SCPC or GCS, respectively. Even though there are differences processes,...
