    Association of central blood pressure with an exaggerated blood pressure response to exercise among elite athletes

    The systolic blood pressure/workload (SBP/MET) slope was recently reported to be a reliable parameter to identify an exaggerated blood pressure response (eBPR) in the normal population and in athletes. However...

    Normative values of non-invasively assessed RV function and pulmonary circulation coupling for pre-participation screening derived from 497 male elite athletes

    Reference values for right ventricular function and pulmonary circulation coupling were recently established for the general population. However, normative values for elite athletes are missing, even though ex...

    Fibroblast growth factor 23 as a biomarker of right ventricular dysfunction in pulmonary hypertension

    Fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF-23) has been associated with left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and heart failure. However, its role in right ventricular (RV) remodeling and RV failure is unknown. This study ...

    Predictive value of preprocedural procalcitonin for short- and long-term mortality after transfemoral transcatheter aortic valve implantation

    Current risk scores used for patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) do not reliably predict adverse events after TAVI. Procalcitonin (PCT) is associated with increased atherosclerot...

    Inducible cardiomyocyte-specific deletion of CaM kinase II protects from pressure overload-induced heart failure

    CaM kinase II (CaMKII) has been suggested to drive pathological cardiac remodeling and heart failure. However, the evidence provided so far is based on inhibitory strategies using chemical compounds and peptid...
