  1. Vascular lesions induced by renal nerve ablation as assessed by optical coherence tomography: pre- and post-procedural comparison with the S...

    Eur Heart J (2013) PMID 23620498

    In a prospective observational study, 32 renal arteries of patients with treatment-resistant hypertension underwent OCT before and after RNA. All pre- and post-procedural OCT pullbacks were evaluated regarding vascular changes such as vasospasm, oedema (notches), dissection, and thrombus formation....
  2. Electrocardiographic artifacts due to electrode misplacement and their frequency in different clinical settings
    Alain Rudiger, Jens P Hellermann, ... Juraj Turina

    Am J Emerg Med 25(2):5 (2007) PMID 17276807

    We collected ECGs routinely performed at the cardiology outpatient clinic and the intensive care unit. Lead misplacement was suspected when one of the following morphological changes occurred: QRS axis between 180 degrees and -90 degrees , positive P wave in lead aVR, negative P waves in lead I and/...
  3. Heart failure after myocardial infarction: clinical presentation and survival.
    Jens P JP Hellermann, Steven J SJ Jacobsen, ... Véronique L VL Roger

    Eur J Heart Fail 7(1):119-25 (2005) PMID 15642543

    Between 1979 and 1998, 1915 patients with incident MI and no prior history of HF were identified. Of these, 791(41%) experienced new onset HF as defined by Framingham criteria during 6.6+/-5.0 years of follow-up. Forty-seven percent were men, mean age was 73+/-12 years. Forty-four percent had impair...
  4. Differential effects of selective cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitors on endothelial function in salt-induced hypertension.
    Matthias Hermann, Giovanni Camici, ... Frank Ruschitzka

    Circulation 108(19):2308-11 (2003) PMID 14597594

    These data show that celecoxib but not rofecoxib or diclofenac improves endothelial dysfunction and reduces oxidative stress, thus pointing to differential effects of coxibs in salt-induced hypertension....
  5. Heart failure after myocardial infarction: Prevalence of preserved left ventricular systolic function in the community
    Jens P Hellermann, Steven J Jacobsen, ... Véronique L Roger

    Am Heart J 145(4):7 (2003) PMID 12679774

    Between 1979 and 1994, 1658 patients had an MI, and 644 of these patients (38%) had CHF during 7.4 +/- 5.4 years of follow-up. Of these patients, 395 (61%) underwent LVEF assessment. Preserved LVEF (ie, > or =50%) was present in 30% of cases, and this proportion did not change with time. The proport...
