Right atrial pacing impairs cardiac function during resynchronization therapy: acute effects of DDD pacing compared to VDD pacing.
Alain Bernheim,Peter Ammann,Christian Sticherling,Peter Burger,Beat Schaer,Hans-Peter Brunner-La Rocca,Jens Eckstein,Stephanie Kiencke,Christoph Kaiser,André Linka,Peter Buser,Matthias Pfisterer,Stefan Osswald +12 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that avoidance of right atrial pacing results in a higher degree of LV resynchronization, in a substantial prolongation of the LV filling period, and in an improved myocardial performance.

Incidence, clinical predictors, and prognostic impact of worsening renal function in elderly patients with chronic heart failure on intensive medical therapy
Micha T. Maeder,Micha T. Maeder,Hans Rickli,Matthias Pfisterer,Stefano Muzzarelli,Peter Ammann,Thomas Fehr,Dietrich Hack,Daniel Weilenmann,Thomas Dieterle,Stephanie Kiencke,Werner Estlinbaum,Hans-Peter Brunner-La Rocca,Hans-Peter Brunner-La Rocca +13 more
TL;DR: One fifth of elderly patients with chronic HF experienced WRF III on 6-month intensive HF treatment, an independent predictor of death, death or hospitalization, and death or HF hospitalization also after adjusting for baseline characteristics.

Dexamethasone but not tadalafil improves exercise capacity in adults prone to high-altitude pulmonary edema
Manuel Fischler,Marco Maggiorini,Lorenz Dorschner,Johann Debrunner,Alain Bernheim,Stephanie Kiencke,Heimo Mairbäurl,Konrad E. Bloch,Robert Naeije,Hans-Peter Brunner-La Rocca +9 more
TL;DR: Corticosteroids, but not phosphodiesterase-5 inhibition, partially prevented the limitation of exercise capacity in subjects with intense hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction at high altitude.

Acute Changes in Pulmonary Artery Pressures Due to Exercise and Exposure to High Altitude Do Not Cause Left Ventricular Diastolic Dysfunction
Alain Bernheim,Stephanie Kiencke,Manuel Fischler,Lorenz Dorschner,Johann Debrunner,Heimo Mairbäurl,Marco Maggiorini,Hans-Peter Brunner-La Rocca +7 more
TL;DR: Increased pulmonary artery pressure associated with exercise and acute exposure to 4,559 m appears not to cause LV diastolic dysfunction in healthy subjects, and ventricular interaction seems not to be of hemodynamic relevance in this setting.

Safety and tolerability of intensified, N-terminal pro brain natriuretic peptide-guided compared with standard medical therapy in elderly patients with congestive heart failure: results from TIME-CHF.
Sandra Sanders-van Wijk,Stefano Muzzarelli,Michael Neuhaus,Stephanie Kiencke,Micha T. Maeder,Werner Estlinbaum,Daniel Tobler,Kurt Mayer,Paul Erne,Matthias Pfisterer,Hans-Peter Brunner-La Rocca +10 more
TL;DR: The safety and tolerability of NT‐proBNP‐guided therapy in the Trial of Intensified vs standard Medical therapy in Elderly patients with Congestive Heart Failure (TIME‐CHF) was assessed.
