Significant congenital heart disease (sCHD) affects 3.6 per 1000 births, and is often
associated with extracardiac and chromosomal anomalies. Although early mortality has been …

Rationale: Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is highly prevalent in patients with chronic kidney
disease and increases their risk of cardiac events and mortality. FGF23 (fibroblast growth …

Malpositioning of left ventricular assist devices (LVAD) is a risk factor for thrombosis, but its
identification from clinical imaging remains challenging. X-rays and CT scans were analyzed …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The quality of spectroscopic studies may be limited
because of unrestricted fetal movement. Sedation is recommended to avoid motion artefacts. …

Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is a promising imaging technique for bedside
monitoring of lung function. It is easily applicable, cheap and requires no ionizing radiation, but …

Objective: To compare electrocardiographic (ECG)-triggered high-pitch (HP) dual-source CT
angiography (CTA) with non-ECG-triggered HP CTA of the aorta, particularly the ascending …

Background Sympathetic reinnervation after heart transplantation (HTX) is a known phenomenon,
which has an impact on patient heart rate variability and exercise capacity. The impact …

Objective. The aim of this study was to evaluate sex specific differences of metabolic and
clinical characteristics of treated hyperlipidemic men and women (HL-men and HL-women). …

Objectives The aim of the study was to evaluate cardiac and extracardiac anomalies in 46
prenatally detected cases of heterotaxy, to describe the postnatal outcome and to analyse …

Background: Patients with hyperlipidemia are at high risk for developing a fatty liver. The fatty
liver index (FLI) is a noninvasive and well-established method for the estimation of a fatty …
