Air pollution, noise and hypertension : Partners in crime
Herz. 2024 Feb 6. doi: 10.1007/s00059-024-05234-5. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAir pollution and traffic noise are two important environmental risk factors that endanger health in urban societies and often act together as "partners in crime". Although air pollution and noise often co-occur in urban environments, they have typically been studied separately, with numerous studies documenting consistent effects of individual exposure on blood pressure. In the following review article, we examine the epidemiology of air pollution and noise, especially regarding the cardiovascular risk factor arterial hypertension and the und...

Update on the treatment of aortic valve stenosis in symptomatic and asymptomatic patients
Herz. 2024 Jan 19. doi: 10.1007/s00059-023-05229-8. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAortic valve stenosis is one of the most frequent valvular heart diseases requiring treatment in industrialized countries. The symptom onset is associated with a significantly increased mortality, so that there is a clear indication for treatment in patients with severe, symptomatic aortic valve stenosis; however, data on the optimal treatment of patients with asymptomatic aortic valve stenosis are scarce. Smaller studies in the field of cardiac surgery suggest that early surgical valve replacement is superior to a conservative approach. For ...

Update cardio-oncology : Immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy
Herz. 2024 Feb;49(1):81-90. doi: 10.1007/s00059-023-05228-9. Epub 2024 Jan 4.ABSTRACTCardiovascular diseases and cancer are the most common causes of death in Germany. Cancer treatment can lead to significant cardiovascular side effects and thus form a link between the two disease groups. The focus of cardio-oncology is on the best possible prevention, diagnostics and treatment of cardiovascular complications caused by cancer treatment. It is crucial for cardio-oncology to adapt to the continuous development of new forms of oncological treatment with previously unknown cardiovascular side effects. One such new form of trea...
