Abstract Objectives Long-term toxicities of germ cell cancer (GCC) treatment are particular importance in young men with a life expectancy several decades after curative treatment. This study aimed to investigate the long-term effects platinum-based chemotherapy on cardiac function and myocardial tissue GCC survivors by magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging. Methods Asymptomatic ≥ 3 years age-matched healthy controls underwent CMR assessment, including left ventricular (LV) right (RV) ejection...
Achieving early rhythm control and maintaining sinus are associated with improved outcomes in patients atrial fibrillation (AF). Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) is a validated alternative to medical control. This study determined associations between left strain reservoir (LAS
Positive and negative influences on oral health are attributed to coffee consumption. The aim of the current study is evaluate association between consumption periodontitis in general population Hamburg.A total 6,209 participants from Hamburg City Health Study were included this cross-sectional study. Information was collected using a food frequency questionnaire. Periodontal examination assessment dental care ability via Plaque Index, measurement pocket depth, gingival recession, bleeding...
Despite associations of regular coffee consumption with fewer neurodegenerative disorders, its association microstructural brain alterations is unclear. To address this, we examined the MRI parameters representing vascular damage, neurodegeneration, and integrity in 2316 participants population-based Hamburg City Health Study. Cortical thickness white matter hyperintensity (WMH) load were measured on FLAIR T1-weighted images. Microstructural was quantified as peak width skeletonized mean...
Abstract Coffee, next to water the most widespread beverage, is attributed both harmful and protective characteristics concerning cardiovascular health. This study aimed evaluate associations of coffee consumption with cardiac biomarkers, echocardiographic, electrocardiographic parameters major diseases. We performed a cross-sectional analysis 9009 participants population-based Hamburg City Health Study (HCHS), enrolled between 2016 2018 median age 63 [IQR: 55; 69] years. Coffee was...
Abstract Aims For patients with symptomatic drug-refractory atrial fibrillation (AF), catheter ablation to achieve rhythm control is an important therapeutic option. The mechanical dispersion measured as standard deviation of the time peak strain (SD-TPS) associated risk AF recurrence following ablation. Methods study cohort prospectively enrolled n = 132 consecutive paroxysmal ( 88) or persistent 44) presenting for de novo pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) and followed 1 year. We related left...
Here we generate up-to-date reference values of transthoracic echocardiographic aortic root dimensions matched by sex, age, and body surface area (BSA) derived from the population-based Hamburg City Health Study (HCHS) cohort. In 1687 healthy subjects (mean age 57.1 ± 7.7, 681 male 1006 female), first prospectively-recruited 10,000 HCHS participants, were measured in systole diastole using state-of-the-art 2-dimensional echocardiography. Diameters assessed at four levels: annulus, Sinus...
Due to improved therapy in childhood, many patients with congenital heart disease reach adulthood and are termed adults (ACHD). ACHD often develop failure (HF) as a consequence of initial palliative surgery or complex anatomy subsequently require advanced HF therapy. usually excluded from trials evaluating therapies, this context, more data about trajectories needed guide the management suffering HF.The pAtients pResenTing cOngenital heaRt dIseAse Register (ARTORIA-R) will collect evaluated...
An interview with Becks Breslin and Sonja Reckschwardt, two patients suffering from spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD), treated in the United Kingdom Germany almost 10 years apart.Acute syndrome (ACS) is a prevalent reason for admissions, accounting over 20 million visits to emergency room Europe North America.(1)Among many ACS
Abstract Background Coffee, next to water the most widespread beverage, is attributed both harmful and protective characteristics concerning cardiovascular health. This study aimed evaluate associations of coffee consumption with cardiac biomarkers, echocardiographic, electrocardiographic parameters as well major diseases. Methods results We performed a cross-sectional analysis 9,009 participants large German population-based cohort study, enrolled between 2016 2018 median age 63 [IQR: 55;...
There is still conflicting evidence concerning the optimal therapeutic approach during cardiogenic shock in patients with acute myocardial infarction.We present a case of non-ST-segment elevation infarction RCA deemed culprit lesion due to absence collaterals chronically occluded LAD and CFX.The 71-year-old patient presented chest-pain-unit angina pectoris Canadian Cardiovascular Society (CCS) grading III.Severe 2-vessel coronary artery disease was already diagnosed 2014 recommendation for...
