<b>A</b>bnormal aortic hemodynamics are associated with risk factors for aortic complications in patients with marfan syndrome.
van Andel MM, van Ooij P, de Waard V, Gottwald LM, van Kimmenade RRJ, Scholte AJ, Dickinson MG, Zwinderman AH, Mulder BJM, Nederveen AJ, Groenink M
Background: It is difficult to assess the risk for aortic dissection beyond the aortic root in patients with Marfan syndrome (MFS). To aid risk assessment in these patients, we investigated aortic flow and wall shear stress (WSS) by 4D flow magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in patients with MFS and compared the results with healthy volunteers. We hypothesized that MFS patients with a high-risk profile for aortic dissection would show abnormal hemodynamics in aortic regions associated with aortic...

Systemic thrombolysis in the management of pump thrombosis in patients with left ventricular assist devices.
Kortekaas KA, den Exter PL, Beeres SLMA, Palmen M, Jukema JW, Huisman MV, Tops LF
Left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation as destination therapy (DT) is a valuable treatment option in patients with end-stage heart failure ineligible for heart transplant. However, this therapy can be complicated by life-threatening pump thrombosis (PT). This case series reports our single-center experience with a structured systemic thrombolysis protocol in case of PT. Consecutive patients undergoing DT LVAD (HVAD, Medtronic, Framingham, MA) implantation between 2010 and April 2021...

Common single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are predicted to collectively explain 40-50% of phenotypic variation in human height, but identifying the specific variants and associated regions requires huge sample sizes1. Here, using data from a genome-wide association study of 5.4 million individuals of diverse ancestries, we show that 12,111 independent SNPs that are significantly associated with height account for nearly all of the common SNP-based heritability. These SNPs are clustered withi...

Aesthetic Outcome of Propranolol vs Atenolol Treatment of Children with Infantile Haemangioma.
Hermans MM, Breugem CC, Schappin R, Jonge Poerink E, Mendels EJ, Ragamin A, Breur JMPJ, Langeveld HR, Raphael MF, De Laat PCJ, De Wildt SN, Rietman AB, Pasmans SGMA, De Graaf M
Infantile haemangiomas are common benign tumours of infancy, which can be treated effectively with beta-blockers such as propranolol and atenolol. Different types of beta-blockers may result in different long-term aesthetic outcomes. This study evaluated the difference in long-term aesthetic outcomes between infantile haemangiomas treated with either propranolol or atenolol, including the perspective of physicians, parents, and children. Children, aged ≥6 years, treated with propranolol or ateno...

Investigating Rewards and Deposit Contract Financial Incentives for Physical Activity Behavior Change Using a Smartphone App: Randomized Controlled Trial.
de Buisonjé DR, Reijnders T, Cohen Rodrigues TR, Prabhakaran S, Kowatsch T, Lipman SA, Bijmolt THA, Breeman LD, Janssen VR, Kraaijenhagen RA, Kemps HMC, Evers AWM
Background: Financial incentive interventions for improving physical activity have proven to be effective but costly. Deposit contracts (in which participants pledge their own money) could be an affordable alternative. In addition, deposit contracts may have superior effects by exploiting the power of loss aversion. Previous research has often operationalized deposit contracts through loss framing a financial reward (without requiring a deposit) to mimic the feelings of loss involved in a deposi...

Three-Dimensional Vessels-on-a-Chip Based on hiPSC-derived Vascular Endothelial and Smooth Muscle Cells.
Bulut M, Vila Cuenca M, de Graaf M, van den Hil FE, Mummery CL, Orlova VV
Blood vessels are composed of endothelial cells (ECs) that form the inner vessel wall and mural cells that cover the ECs to mediate their stabilization. Crosstalk between ECs and VSMCs while the ECs undergo microfluidic flow is vital for the function and integrity of blood vessels. Here, we describe a protocol to generate three-dimensional (3D) engineered vessels-on-chip (VoCs) composed of vascular cells derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs). We first describe protocols for...

Aims: European guidelines set low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) treatment goals <1.4 mmol/L after acute coronary syndrome (ACS), and <1.0 mmol/L for patients with recurrent cardiovascular events ≤2 years. Many ACS patients do not achieve these goals on statin alone. We examined actual goal achievement with alirocumab and projected achievement with ezetimibe, either added to optimized statin therapy. Methods and results: The ODYSSEY OUTCOMES trial (NCT01663402) compared al...
