With permission from the DZHK administrative office. http://dzhk.de The DZHK (Deutsches Zentrum für Herz-Kreislauf-Forschung e.V.; German Center for Cardiovascular Research) is a joint cooperation of twenty-eight institutions in seven locations throughout Germany to develop a common research strategy. They developed a data catalogue with metadata and data as well as information about available biological materials from all their studies. For more information on the data catalogue and access to actual data and biosamples please visit https://dzhk.de/en/resources/data-manual/ . This version contains the metadata part only. The form Cardiac Catheter is used to document a cardiac catheter examination. This examination enables a better phenotyping of cardiomyopathies, an assessment of the degree of severity and of the prognosis. An invasive cardiac assessment is indicated according to the current guidelines. In the context of the objective, this applies especially to patients in whom cardiomyopathy has already been verified by other imaging techniques, unexplained reduced left ventricular systolic function and/or corresponding symptoms. The documentation is to be performed according to the DZHK's SOPs, which can be accessed at https://dzhk.de/en/resources/sops/ (or https://dzhk.de/ressourcen/sops/ for the German language versions). The SOP for this form is "Cardiac Catheterization. Left and rightheart examination. Left ventriculography. Left and right ventricular myocardial biopsies." (version 1.0, valid as of 01/09/2014) for the English language version, and "Herzkatheter. Links- und Rechtsherzkatheteruntersuchung. Linksventrikuläre Ventrikulographie. Entnahme von links-/ rechtsventrikulären Myokardbiopsien." (version 1.0, valid as of 01/09/2014) for the German version.
