Targeting Fibrosis in Heart Failure ❤️

Great early session #DGK2026HT: echo-derived GLS can help assess myocardial fibrosis. 📈Inspiring to see PIs driving the mechanistic insights on miRNA21 and EndMT toward clinical translation with startups and patents . 🔬➡️🫀@DGK_org

🚀 DGK Herztage in Hamburg! #DGK2026HT

Excited for the science, meeting friends and being a DGK Prevention Ambassadors this year! 🫀🙌

🚨 Today is HVV Prüfmarathon in Hamburg! 🚨

Prevention reminder to buy your ticket before you get on 😉🎟️

🫀 Excited to share our new study!
Right ventricular contractility (RV-GLS) predicts ascites clearance, cardiac decompensation & survival after TIPS.

A multicenter effort bridging #Cardiology & #Hepatology — advancing heart–liver science together.

If you are doing 🐷 pig myocardial infarction studies ❤️‍🩹, David‘s MRI analysis will be interesting for you:

🚩MI indicated by LGE only occurred after ischemic durations ≥ 60 min
