1.
Is the Ability index superior to the NYHA classification for assessing heart failure?: comparison of two classification scales in adolescents and adults with operated congenital heart defects
Norozi K, Wessel A, Buchhorn R, Alpers V, Arnhold J, Zoege M, et al.
Clin Res Cardiol . 2007 Jun; 96(8):542-7. PMID: 17593319
Background: Heart failure (HF) is a major problem in the long-term follow-up of adolescents and adults with congenital heart disease (ACHD) after cardiac surgery. The functional status of ACHD may...

A prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled trial of beta-blockade in patients who have undergone surgical correction of tetralogy of Fallot
Norozi K, Bahlmann J, Raab B, Alpers V, Arnhold J, Kuehne T, et al.
Cardiol Young . 2007 Jun; 17(4):372-9. PMID: 17572925
Aims: Our purpose was to evaluate the effect of a treatment over six months with bisoprolol on the surrogate parameters of N-Terminal-pro brain natriuretic peptide, subsequently to be described as...

Chronotropic incompetence in adolescents and adults with congenital heart disease after cardiac surgery
Norozi K, Wessel A, Alpers V, Arnhold J, Binder L, Geyer S, et al.
J Card Fail . 2007 May; 13(4):263-8. PMID: 17517345
Background: Chronotropic incompetence (CI) is one of the major problems in adults with congestive heart. Little is known about CI in adults with congenital heart disease (ACHD) after cardiac surgery....

Pacemaker implantation as a risk factor for heart failure in young adults with congenital heart disease
Nothroff J, Norozi K, Alpers V, Arnhold J, Wessel A, Ruschewski W, et al.
Pacing Clin Electrophysiol . 2006 May; 29(4):386-92. PMID: 16650267
Aim: Complete postoperative heart block following open-heart surgery and sinus node dysfunction are indications for permanent cardiac pacing in children with congenital heart defects. The purpose of our study was...
5.
Elevated brain natriuretic peptide and reduced exercise capacity in adult patients operated on for tetralogy of fallot is due to biventricular dysfunction as determined by the myocardial performance index
Norozi K, Buchhorn R, Bartmus D, Alpers V, Arnhold J, Schoof S, et al.
Am J Cardiol . 2006 Apr; 97(9):1377-82. PMID: 16635615
Although tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) can be repaired surgically, residual lesions that cause abnormal ventricular load can eventually lead to heart failure. Subclinical biventricular dysfunction in these patients may be...
6.
Incidence and risk distribution of heart failure in adolescents and adults with congenital heart disease after cardiac surgery
Norozi K, Wessel A, Alpers V, Arnhold J, Geyer S, Zoege M, et al.
Am J Cardiol . 2006 Apr; 97(8):1238-43. PMID: 16616033
Heart failure (HF) is a major problem in the long-term follow-up of adults with congenital heart disease (CHD) after cardiac surgery. The purpose of this study was to evaluate risk...

Relation of systemic ventricular function quantified by myocardial performance index (Tei) to cardiopulmonary exercise capacity in adults after Mustard procedure for transposition of the great arteries
Norozi K, Buchhorn R, Alpers V, Arnhold J, Schoof S, Zoege M, et al.
Am J Cardiol . 2005 Dec; 96(12):1721-5. PMID: 16360364
After Mustard repair for transposition of the great arteries, the right ventricle serves as a chronically overloaded systemic ventricle (SV). Thus, during long-term follow-up, dysfunction of the right ventricle with...
