Clinic III for Internal Medicine, Cologne Heart Centre, University of Cologne, Cologne, Germany
J Endocrinol Invest 32:564-7. 2009..We hypothesized that dynamic changes in HbA1c (Delta-HbA1c) would better predict cardiovascular outcome than a single value...
Activation of the calcineurin/NFAT signalling cascade starts early in human hypertrophic myocardiumH Diedrichs

J Int Med Res 35:803-18. 2007..Already present in compensated hypertrophy it showed a tendency to a further increase following transition to decompensated hypertrophy...
An increase in HbA1c after percutaneous coronary intervention raises the risk for restenosis in patients without Type 2 diabetes mellitusH Diedrichs
Clinic III for Internal Medicine, University of Koln, Cologne, Germany
Diabet Med 25:228-31. 2008..Therefore, the rate of restenosis was investigated after elective PCI in 101 consecutive patients without diabetes mellitus in relation to dynamic changes of HbA(1c) levels...
Calcineurin independent development of myocardial hypertrophy in transgenic rats overexpressing the mouse renin gene, TGR(mREN2)27H Diedrichs
Laboratory for Muscle Research and Molecular Cardiology, Department of Internal Medicine III, University of Cologne, Joseph Stelzmann Strasse 9, 50924 Cologne, Germany
J Mol Med (Berl) 82:688-95. 2004..Thus GATA-4 seems to be a marker of hypertrophy independently of calcineurin activation, possibly activated by various pathways...

Altered tension cost in (TG(mREN-2)27) rats overexpressing the mouse renin geneCarsten Zobel
Laboratory of Muscle Research and Molecular Cardiology, Department of Internal Medicine III, University of Cologne, Joseph Stelzmann Str 9, 50924, Cologne, Germany
Eur J Appl Physiol 99:121-32. 2007..The present study demonstrates that cardiac hypertrophy, induced by an activation of the renin-angiotensin system, leads to adapting alterations on the level of the contractile filaments, which reduce tension cost...
NT-pro-BNP for differential diagnosis in patients with syncopeRoman Pfister
Department III of Internal Medicine, University of Cologne, Cologne, Germany
Int J Cardiol 133:51-4. 2009..Syncope is a frequent diagnosis and establishing the etiology is often elaborate. Aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic value of NT-pro-BNP in patients with syncope...

Laboratory of Muscle Research and Molecular Cardiology, University of Cologne, Joseph Stelzmann Str 9, 50924 Cologne, Germany
Eur J Heart Fail 6:3-9. 2004..As reported from animal experiments, the Ca(2+)-calmodulin activated phosphatase calcineurin and its downstream transcriptional effector NFAT have been implicated as transducers of the hypertrophic response...
In vivo uptake of azithromycin in human coronary plaquesC A Schneider

Department III of Internal Medicine, University of Cologne, Germany
Eur J Heart Fail 10:315-20. 2008..Multi-marker risk scores accurately predict prognosis in heart failure patients but calculation is complex...
Phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitor sildenafil citrate does not potentiate the vasodilative properties of nebivolol in rat aortaStephan Rosenkranz
Laboratory of Muscle Research and Molecular Cardiology, Department of Internal Medicine III, University of Cologne, Kerpener Str. 62, D-50924 Cologne, Germany
Life Sci 78:1103-7. 2006..These findings indicate that the interaction between SIL and NO-donators/organic nitrates does not apply to the NO-liberating properties of NEB. Our findings suggest that SIL may safely be used in hypertensive patients treated with NEB...
Inhibition of the alpha1beta1 isoform of the Na, K-ATPase by 8-methoxycoumestrol without positive inotropic effect in human myocardium--novel aspects of cardiac glycoside pharmacologyT Potter
