Aerobic training in adults after atrial switch procedure for transposition of the great arteries improves exercise capacity without impairing systemic right ventricular function
Westhoff-Bleck M, Schieffer B, Tegtbur U, Meyer G, Hoy L, Schaefer A, et al.
Int J Cardiol . 2013 Nov; 170(1):24-9. PMID: 24207068
Background: Exercise training safely and efficiently improves symptoms in patients with heart failure due to left ventricular dysfunction. However, studies in congenital heart disease with systemic right ventricle are scarce...

Sustained risk of recurrent thromboembolic events in patients with patent foramen ovale and paradoxical embolism: long-term follow-up over more than 15 years
Fischer D, Gardiwal A, Haentjes J, Klein G, Meyer G, Drexler H, et al.
Clin Res Cardiol . 2011 Dec; 101(4):297-303. PMID: 22159895
Background: Patients with patent foramen ovale (PFO) and cryptogenic stroke are at risk of recurrence. Therapeutic regimens range from no treatment to anticoagulation treatment to surgical or interventional closure. However,...

Nebivolol exerts beneficial effects on endothelial function, early endothelial progenitor cells, myocardial neovascularization, and left ventricular dysfunction early after myocardial infarction beyond conventional β1-blockade
Sorrentino S, Doerries C, Manes C, Speer T, Dessy C, Lobysheva I, et al.
J Am Coll Cardiol . 2011 Jan; 57(5):601-11. PMID: 21272752
Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate whether nebivolol has added effects on left ventricular (LV) dysfunction and remodeling early after myocardial infarction (MI) beyond its β₁-receptor-blocking properties....
4.
Relation of diastolic and systolic function, exercise capacity and brain natriuretic peptide in adults after Mustard procedure for transposition of the great arteries
Schaefer A, Tallone E, Westhoff-Bleck M, Klein G, Drexler H, Rontgen P
Cardiology . 2010 Oct; 117(2):112-7. PMID: 20962526
Objectives: To evaluate the relation of echocardiographic parameters of diastolic function, exercise capacity (expressed as peakVO(2)) and NT-proBNP in patients with transposition of the great arteries (TGA) and Mustard procedure....

Transcatheter closure of patent foramen ovale (PFO) in patients with paradoxical embolism: procedural and follow-up results after implantation of the Amplatzer®-occluder device
Fischer D, Haentjes J, Klein G, Schieffer B, Drexler H, Meyer G, et al.
J Interv Cardiol . 2010 Aug; 24(1):85-91. PMID: 20735710
Background: Prevalence of patent foramen ovale (PFO) with detectable right-to-left shunt is higher in young adults with transient ischemic attack (TIA) and stroke compared to the general population. So far,...

Diagnostic accuracy of handheld echocardiography for evaluation of aortic stenosis
Schaefer A, Rathmann A, Klein G, Drexler H, Tallone E
Echocardiography . 2010 Jul; 27(5):481-6. PMID: 20608955
Background: Symptomatic severe aortic stenosis is associated with increased mortality and morbidity. Early identification of these patients by echocardiography is crucial. We conducted this study to evaluate a handheld ultrasound...

Continuous glycoprotein-130-mediated signal transducer and activator of transcription-3 activation promotes inflammation, left ventricular rupture, and adverse outcome in subacute myocardial infarction
Hilfiker-Kleiner D, Shukla P, Klein G, Schaefer A, Stapel B, Hoch M, et al.
Circulation . 2010 Jun; 122(2):145-55. PMID: 20585009
Background: In patients with myocardial infarction, high serum levels of interleukin-6 cytokines predict a poor outcome. The common receptor of interleukin-6 cytokines, glycoprotein-130 (gp130), signals via janus kinase/signal transducer and...

Long-term effects of intracoronary bone marrow cell transfer on diastolic function in patients after acute myocardial infarction: 5-year results from the randomized-controlled BOOST trial--an echocardiographic study
Schaefer A, Zwadlo C, Fuchs M, Meyer G, Lippolt P, Wollert K, et al.
Eur J Echocardiogr . 2009 Dec; 11(2):165-71. PMID: 19946118
Aims: We have recently observed that intracoronary autologous bone marrow cell (BMC)-transfer improves parameters of diastolic function in patients after acute myocardial infarction at 6 and 18 months. There is...

Four decades with a Starr-Edwards ball valve in the aortic position
Tutarel O, Schaefer A, Fuchs M
J Heart Valve Dis . 2009 Oct; 18(4):453-4. PMID: 19852151
As the first reliable prosthetic heart valve to be introduced, the Starr-Edwards ball valve prosthesis has gained worldwide clinical acceptance. Although very few instances have been described of valve durability...

Intracoronary bone marrow cell transfer after myocardial infarction: 5-year follow-up from the randomized-controlled BOOST trial
Meyer G, Wollert K, Lotz J, Pirr J, Rager U, Lippolt P, et al.
Eur Heart J . 2009 Sep; 30(24):2978-84. PMID: 19773226
Aims: We assessed whether a single intracoronary infusion of autologous bone marrow cells (BMCs) can have a sustained impact on left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in patients after ST-elevation myocardial...
