Information generated about this interdisciplinary consensus on the diagnosis of myocardial ischemia for the public based on a publication of the QCI study group led by Charité in Nature Reviews Cardiology. Details on the outreach of this activity as measured by Altmetric can be found here.
When the diagnostic accuracy of coronary CT angiography matches that of catheter angiography
12. June 2019
Coronary CT angiography generates thousands of X-ray images which are used to generate a 3D representation of the heart. This allows the visualization of narrowed (arrow) blood vessels (grey).
Information generated about this research finding for the public based on a publication of the COME-CCT team led by Charité in BMJ. Details on the outreach of this activity as measured by Altmetric can be found here.

Comprehensive Cardiac Diagnosis for Patients with Coronary Stents
15. October 2013
Coronary in-stent restenosis in CTA (A) with myocardial perfusion reduction in CT (B). From JACC.
The combination of myocardial perfusion and coronary CT imaging improves diagnosis for patients with coronary stents while it does not lead to higher radiation dose to patients than invasive procedures as shown in a study published in JACC by Charité researchers. Information generated about this research finding for the public in German can be found here. Details on the outreach of this activity as measured by PlumX can be found here.
Coverage of our Research by Frankfurter Rundschau and Berliner Zeitung

On Friday, 4. January 2013 both newspapers published a report with the title “Ring around the heart“.
Patient Forum in the Maxim Gorki Theater
October 21, 2012, Maxim Gorki Theater
Patient Forum on cardiac diseases and diagnostic imaging with Marc Dewey under the title ‘Kosmos und Mensch: der schonende Blick ins Herz’ in a collaboration of Maxim Gorki Theater with Charité. Moderation of the event was by Ingo Hoppe from rbb88acht. Further information about the event in German can be found here.
Which Test for Cardiac Function?
May 2012
Three-dimensional analysis of cardiac function by CT in diastole (left) and systole (right). From JACC.
Many tests are available to evaluate cardiac function, yet which is best? This study published in JACC by Charité researchers compared CT, Catheterization, Echocardiography in 2D and 3D and MRI for cardiac function. It was shown that CT was as accurate as MRI for cardiac function assessment, which has relevant implications for clinical practice and patients with suspected or known cardiac diseases. Information generated about this research finding for the public can be found here. Details on the outreach of this activity as measured by Altmetric can be found here.
CT as an Alternative for Heart Catheterisation
December 2011

Heart Catheter, Too Much Invasive Procedures?
March 2011
On Tuesday 22nd of March 2011 a special report on the TV show VISITE of the regional broadcasting company NDR discussed why there is too many cardiac catheterisations performed in Germany. The TV special report can be watched here.
Charité Publishes Landmark Study on 320-Row CT
August 2009
Advantage of improved coverage of the heart using 320-row CT from the study published in Circulation.
CT showed high accuracy and reduced radiation dose as well as improved patient comfort compared with invasive cardiac catheterization using this technology which was first provided worldwide to Charité outside of Japan by Toshiba Medical Systems (now: Canon Medical Systems). Further information for German patients and journalists can be found here. Details on the outreach of this activity as measured by Altmetric can be found here.
