Myocardial Contrast Echocardiography in Septic Patients
Myocardial microcirculatory alterations may be involved in the pathogenesis of acute cardiac dysfunction or septic cardiomyopathy in septic patients. The investigators study the cardiac function (systolic and diastolic) with two-dimensional echocardiography (TTE), and the myocardial microcirculation with contrast echocardiography (MCE) and sulphur hexafluoride microbubbles Sonovue injection in ICU septic patients.

The Effectiveness of Surgical Treatment of Patients With Ischemic Cardiomyopathy
The study focuses on the development of a new personalized approach to diagnostics and surgical treatment of patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy. The algorithm for selection of patients for certain type of cardiac surgery will be developed. The models for prediction of the risks and outcomes of cardiac surgery will be …

Heart Failure and Preserved Ejection Fraction: Observation of Its Progression and Prognosis (HOPP-BERN)
Analysis of longitudinal data, cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging and health related data, of patients with heart failure and preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) over a timeframe of 5 years per patient. In this study routine clinical data are collected along with additional research parameters measured during CMR. CMR will occur …

IMPRoving Cardiovascular RiSk Stratification Using T1 Mapping in General populatION
Magnetic properties of myocardial tissue change in the presence of disease. This is detectable in the change of rate of magnetic relaxation, and measurable by T1 and T2 mapping using cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR). These markers provide novel quantifiable imaging measures for myocardial tissue characterisation. Despite similar principles the measurements …

Evaluation of Long-term Incidence of Ventricular Arrhythmias in Patients With Acute Myocarditis
Myocarditis is an inflammatory disease of the heart muscle which is mostly caused by viruses, bacteria, parasites, toxic substances/drugs or by primary autoimmune mechanisms. Signs of heart failure (dyspnea, reduced resilience, tendency to edema), thoracic pain, palpitations / arrhythmias / syncope, as well as (potentially) lethal clinical conditions in the …

Pacing to Maintain Physiologic Ventricular Activation
Right ventricular pacing causes ventricular dyssynchrony and may be associated with impaired outcome. In the last decade, several approaches for more physiological pacing became available and were implemented in the latest guidelines. However, compared to conventional device implantation, cardiac resynchronization, His bundle pacing and left bundle area pacing remain demanding …

Cardiac Biomarkers in Preeclampsia: Prediction of Disease and the Risk of Future Cardiovascular Events in Survivors
SUMMARY Background: Improvements in the management and prevention of obstetric haemorrhage and sepsis, in addition to magnesium sulphate for preeclampsia have led to significant reduction in global maternal mortality rates; thus leaving increasing number of survivors of preeclampsia than previously. Preeclampsia is associated with inflammatory changes that alter vascular integrity …
