In particular it is investigated wether impaired microcrculation in patients with acute heartfailure or shock can be improved by specific interventions, and wether such interventions improve prognosis of these patients. Furthermore the implications are investigated of cardiomyopathies, in particular non-compaction cardiomyopathy. |
