Long‐term incidence of upper extremity venous obstruction in implantable cardioverter defibrillator patients Open
Background Very little is known about the long‐term prevalence of severe venous obstruction and occlusion in patients with transvenous implantable cardioverter‐defibrillator leads. The objective of the current investigation was to elucidat…

TAVR outcome after reclassification of aortic valve stenosis by using a hybrid continuity equation that combines computed tomography and echocardiography data Open
Background In the continuity equation, assumption of a round‐shaped left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) leads to underestimation of the true aortic valve area in two‐dimensional echocardiography. The current study evaluated whether inclu…

Carotid strain measurement in patients with pseudoxanthoma elasticum – Hint for a different pathomechanism? Open
Pseudoxanthoma Elasticum (PXE), caused by autosomal-recessive mutations in the ATP-binding cassette transporter (ABCC6) gene, is known for high prevalence of atherosclerosis. A novel method investigating elastic properties of arteries in a…
Asthma is associated with atherosclerotic artery changes Open
Asthma is a chronic airway inflammation with a potential systemic impact. Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory artery disease. The aim of our study was to prove if there is a correlation between the occurrence of asthma and increased …
High prevalence of COPD in atherosclerosis patients Open
Atherosclerosis and COPD are both systemic inflammatory diseases that may influence each other. The aim of the present study was to determine the prevalence of COPD in patients with cerebral and/or peripheral artery disease and to assess f…
Modulation of carotid strain by statin therapy in atherosclerosis patients Open
Background: The beneficial effect of statin therapy on the progress of atherosclerotic disease has been demonstrated by numerous studies. Vascular strain imaging is an arising method to evaluate arterial stiffness. Our study examined wheth…
Lower extremity and carotid artery disease in COPD Open
In view of their common chronic inflammatory process, we sought to determine the linkage between peripheral artery disease and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). 107 COPD patients (mean± sd age 64.6±10.4 years, 52.2% male) and 2…
Pseudoxanthoma Elasticum – Also a Lung Disease? The Respiratory Affection of Patients with Pseudoxanthoma Elasticum Open
PXE patients demonstrated a regular lung function testing, but nevertheless they had impaired CO diffusing parameters, which might be associated with a preclinical state of an interstitial lung disease and a risk for restrictive ventilatio…
