Patients with obesity and diabetes mellitus are at increased risk for cardiovascular events and have a higher cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. This worse prognosis is partly explained by the late recognition of coronary heart disease in these patients, due to the absence of symptoms. Early identification of coronary heart disease is vital, to initiate preventive medical therapy and improve prognosis. At present, with the use of cardiovascular risk models, the identification of coronary he... Abstract

Atherosclerosis, Volume 221, Issue 2, 1 1 2012, Pages 333-340 Annexin A5 prevents post-interventional accelerated atherosclerosis development in a dose-dependent fashion in mice. Ewing MM, Karper JC, Sampietro ML, de Vries MR, Pettersson K, Jukema JW, Quax PH
Background: Activated cells in atherosclerotic lesions expose phosphatidylserine (PS) on their surface. Annexin A5 (AnxA5) binds to PS and is used for imaging atherosclerotic lesions. Recently, AnxA5 was shown to inhibit vascular inflammatory processes after vein grafting. Here, we report a therapeutic role for AnxA5 in post-interventional vascular remodeling in a mouse model mimicking percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods and results: Associations between the rs4833229 (OR = 1.29 (C... Abstract

Journal of cellular and molecular medicine, Volume 16, Issue 2, 1 1 2012, Pages 328-336 A limited role for regulatory T cells in post-ischemic neovascularization. Hellingman AA, van der Vlugt LE, Lijkwan MA, Bastiaansen AJ, Sparwasser T, Smits HH, Hamming JF, Quax PH
Recently, it was demonstrated that arteriogenesis is enhanced in mice deficient in regulatory T cells (CD4(+) CD25(+) FoxP3(+) T cell), which can suppress effector T cell responses. The present study investigates the effects of these regulatory T cells on arteriogenesis in more detail by either specific expanding or depleting regulatory T cells. Hind limb ischemia was induced by electro-coagulation of the femoral artery in mice. Regulatory T cells were either expanded by injecting mice with a c... Abstract

The Annals of thoracic surgery, Volume 93, Issue 3, 31 5 2012, Pages 754-760 Changes in left ventricular function after mitral valve repair for severe organic mitral regurgitation. Witkowski TG, Thomas JD, Delgado V, van Rijnsoever E, Ng AC, Hoke U, Ewe SH, Auger D, Yiu KH, Holman ER, Klautz RJ, Schalij MJ, Bax JJ, Marsan NA
Background: Limited data are available on the changes in left ventricular (LV) contractile function at long-term follow-up after mitral valve repair (MVr). Moreover, assessment of LV systolic function in patients undergoing MVr is troublesome with current methods, given that mitral regurgitation is characterized by increased preload and decreased afterload, potentially masking LV dysfunction. The aim of this study was to assess the value of LV global strain (longitudinal and circumferential) mea... Abstract

Romeih S, Groenink M, van der Plas MN, Spijkerboer AM, Hazekamp MG, Luijnenburg S, Mulder BJ, Blom NA
Objectives: In patients with pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum (PAIVS), biventricular repair is considered to be the optimal treatment option in the absence of significant right ventricular (RV) hypoplasia. However, long-term clinical outcome studies are limited. We evaluated exercise capacity and cardiac function during pharmacological stress in children and young adults with PAIVS after biventricular repair. Methods: Ten PAIVS patients after biventricular repair, with a median a... Abstract
