Factors influencing post-surgical survival in degenerative mitral regurgitation.
Butcher SC, Essayagh B, Steyerberg EW, Benfari G, Antoine C, Grigioni F, Le Tourneau T, Roussel JC, van Wijngaarden A, Marsan NA, Tribouilloy C, Rusinaru D, Hochstadt A, Topilsky Y, Michelena HI, Delgado V, Bax JJ, Enriquez-Sarano M
Aims: Indications for surgery in patients with degenerative mitral regurgitation (DMR) are increasingly liberal in all clinical guidelines but the role of secondary outcome determinants (left atrial volume index ≥60 mL/m2, atrial fibrillation, pulmonary artery systolic pressure ≥50 mmHg and moderate to severe tricuspid regurgitation) and their impact on post-operative outcome remain disputed. Whether these secondary outcome markers are just reflective of the DMR severity or intrinsically affect...

Release of Ammunition-Related Compounds from a Dutch Marine Dump Site.
den Otter JH, Pröfrock D, Bünning TH, Strehse JS, van der Heijden AEDM, Maser E
After World War II, large amounts of ammunition were dumped in surface waters worldwide, potentially releasing harmful and toxic compounds to the environment. To study their degradation, ammunition items dumped in the Eastern Scheldt in The Netherlands were surfaced. Severe damage due to corrosion and leak paths through the casings were observed, making the explosives in the ammunition accessible to sea water. Using novel techniques, the concentrations of ammunition-related compounds in the surr...

Feasibility of Community Pharmacist-Initiated and Point-of-Care <i>CYP2C19</i> Genotype-Guided De-Escalation of Oral P2Y12 Inhibitors.
Levens AD, den Haan MC, Jukema JW, Heringa M, van den Hout WB, Moes DJAR, Swen JJ
Tailoring antiplatelet therapy based on CYP2C19 pharmacogenetic (PGx) testing can improve cardiovascular outcomes and potentially reduce healthcare costs in patients on a P2Y12-inhibitor regime with prasugrel or ticagrelor. However, ubiquitous adoption-particularly in an outpatient setting-remains limited. We conducted a proof-of-concept study to evaluate the feasibility of CYP2C19-guided de-escalation of prasugrel/ticagrelor to clopidogrel through point-of-care (POC) PGx testing in the communit...

Intra-Individual Comparison of Sinus and Ectopic Beats Probing the Ventricular Gradient's Activation Dependence.
Schoonderwoerd RM, Dik M, Man S, Maan AC, Jukema JW, Swenne CA
Wilson assumed that the ventricular gradient (VG) is independent of the ventricular activation order. This paradigm has often been refuted and was never convincingly corroborated. We sought to validate Wilson's concept by intra-individual comparison of the VG of sinus beats and ectopic beats, thus assessing the effects of both altered ventricular conduction (caused by the ectopic focus) and restitution (caused by ectopic prematurity). We studied standard diagnostic ECGs of 118 patients with...
