Utilization of video consultation in cardiovascular lipid treatment
CONCLUSION: Video consultation can represent a supplement to treatment of patients under lipid management. The correct use requires exact planning and further research.PMID:37855873 | DOI:10.1007/s00059-023-05211-4 (Source: Herz)

Epicardial adipose tissue as a prognostic marker in acute pulmonary embolism
CONCLUSION: There might be an association between EAT density and mortality in patients with acute pulmonary embolism. Further studies are needed to elucidate the prognostic relevance of EAT parameters in patients with acute pulmonary embolism.PMID:37847316 | DOI:10.1007/s00059-023-05210-5 (Source: Herz)

Healthcare provision of transcatheter aortic valve implantation in Germany
CONCLUSION: Regulation of TAVI services by minimum volume numbers would arbitrarily interfere with access to services, in contradiction to the medical service assurance tasks of federal state governments. These issues should be considered in the upcoming healthcare system reform.PMID:37840097 | DOI:10.1007/s00059-023-05216-z (Source: Herz)

Prehospital resuscitation : Current status, results and strategies for improvement in Germany
Herz. 2023 Oct 13. doi: 10.1007/s00059-023-05214-1. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTOut-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is one of the most frequent causes of death in Europe and is associated with a dismal prognosis. The annual incidence in Germany is approximately 100-120 per 100,000 inhabitants (ca. 80,000-100,000 cases). With the use of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) about 40% of patients have a return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC); however, after OHCA only 15% of patients survive for 30 days and less than 10% survive with no or only minor neurological deficits. Data from the German Resuscitation Register demon...

Mitral valve transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (M-TEER) in Germany : Treatment reality, potential needs, possible quality indicators and open questions
Herz. 2023 Oct 13. doi: 10.1007/s00059-023-05212-3. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIn 2020 in Germany, 21,753 patients were hospitalized with the main diagnosis of mitral valve regurgitation (MR), whereby 6050 isolated mitral valve (MV) operations, 4977 combined MV operations and 6011 transcatheter MV interventions were performed. In the last 10 years there was a nearly linear increase of MR-related hospitalizations and transcatheter MV interventions, whereas the numbers of isolated MV operations remained stable and the number of combined MV operations decreased. Due to demographic change and age distribution of MR patients...

T-TEER: description of a development process
Herz. 2023 Oct 13. doi: 10.1007/s00059-023-05213-2. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTTricuspid valve regurgitation (TR) is becoming increasingly more clinically important. While considered as an accompanying symptom of left heart pathologies in the past, TR is now seen as an independent and clinically significant condition. TR can lead to volume overload of the right ventricle, resulting in dilatation of the tricuspid valve annulus and worsening of the regurgitation. Undetected or untreated severe TR can lead to recurrent cardiac decompensation with hospitalization, reduced quality of life and death. Previous treatment option...
