Interdisciplinary consensus on indications for transfemoral transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TF-TAVI)
Indications for TF-TAVI (transfemoral transcatheter aortic valve implantation) are rapidly changing according to increasing evidence from randomized controlled trials. Present trials document the non-inferiori...

Preconditioning preserves energy metabolism in prolonged low-flow ischemia
Background: A reduction in coronary flow leads to a parallel decrease in contractile function. Thus, a flow/function balance is established in the myocardium under certain circumstances avoiding the development ...

Energy generation in hypertrophied postischemic myocardium Feasibility of prolonged inotropic stimulation with dopamine in hypertrophied reperfused left ventricles
Background Non-hypertrophied reversibly injured postischemic myocardium can be stimulated for a prolonged period without detrimental effects. Since no data on hypertrophied myocardium are available, our aim was...

Hemodynamic and inotropic effects of endothelin-1 in vivo
Endothelin-1 (ET-1) is known to have strong vasoactive properties. Contradictory results have been reported with regard to its inotropic effects.

Effects of Intravascular Ionic and Non-Ionic Radiographic Contrast Agents on Parameters of the Kallikrein-Kinin-System
Intravascular application of contrast media causes not only hemodynamic side-effects but also activation of the complement and kinin systems. To investigate whether an activation of the kallikrein-kinin system...

Effect of adenosine and AICAR on ATP content and regional contractile function in reperfused canine myocardium
We investigated whether the postischemic acceleration of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) synthesis by means of precursor infusion is beneficial for the contractile function of reperfused myocardium. A coronary ar...
