Shock waves (SW), defined as a sequence of single sonic pulses characterised by high
peak pressure (100 MPa), a fast rise in pressure (In the present review, we briefly detail the …

Traumatic brain injury caused by explosive or blast events is traditionally divided into four
phases: primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary blast injury. These phases of blast …

Background—Stem and progenitor cell therapy is a novel approach to improve
neovascularization and function of ischemic tissue. Enhanced tissue expression of …

Background: Low-energy shock wave (SW) therapy has improved myocardial ischemia in
both a porcine model and in patients with severe angina pectoris. Methods and Results: To …

Our aim was to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of extracorporeal cardiac shock wave
therapy (CSWT) for the patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) using a randomized …

Background Cardiac shock wave therapy (CSWT) improves cardiac function in patients with
severe coronary artery disease (CAD). We aimed to evaluate the clinical outcomes of a new …

Objectives Left ventricular (LV) remodeling after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is
associated with a poor prognosis and an impaired quality of life. We have shown earlier that …

Aims As many current approaches for heart regeneration exert unfavourable side effects, the
induction of endogenous repair mechanisms in ischaemic heart disease is of particular …

Objective We have recently demonstrated that low-energy extracorporeal shock wave
therapy improves chronic myocardial ischemia in pigs and humans. In this study, we …

Previous experimental studies have suggested a beneficial effect of extracorporeal shock
wave therapy (ESWT) in patients with ischemic heart failure. Twenty‐four patients with …
