CARDIOLOGY

Clinical course of echocardiographic and cardiopulmonary parameters in patients suffering from myocarditis Gender-dependent influences on hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy vs. hypertrophic nonobstructive cardiomyopathy – a multicentre study Determinants of survival after percutaneous transluminal septal myocardial ablation (PTSMA) in patients with HOCM – a long-term follow-up study Incidence of takotsubo syndrome in patients with instable angina pectoris and normal coronary status – consecutive data collection over a period of 5 years Follow-up study of patients with severely reduced left ventricular function suffering from myocarditis – randomized comparison of treatment with interferon vs. conventional medication Prognostic impact of new biomarkers (GDF-15, ST2, hsTNT, sFLT1, PLGF, P1NP, PAPP-A, Endostatin, sFRP3, IGFBP-7, Mimecan, Biglycan, IGF-1, Leptin, Adiponectin, Osteopontin, Galectin-2) in diastolic heart failure Implementation of guide lines in medical treatment of patients with chronic heart failure Significance of electric muscle stimulation in treatment of chronic cardiac insufficiency Prognostic impact of neurohumoral parameters in patients with cardiac insufficiency Sensitivity and specificity of CTproAVP and NTproBNP in patients with left ventricular dysfunction Prognostic value of lactate and lactate clearance in cardiogenic shock NTproBNP in patients with end stage coronary herat disease and manifest heart failure – comparison of outcome in conventional therapy vs. CABG
