Aim: Cardiac diseases remain a leading cause of cardiovascular disease (CVD) related hospitalisation and mortality. That is why research to improve our understanding of pathophysiological processes underlying cardiac diseases is of great importance. There is a strong need for healthy and diseased human cardiac tissue and related clinical data to accomplish this, since currently used animal and in vitro disease models do not fully grasp the pathophysiological processes observed in humans. This de...

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained heart rhythm disorder and is often associated with symptoms that can significantly impact quality of life and daily functioning. Palpitations are the cardinal symptom of AF and many AF therapies are targeted towards relieving this symptom. However, up to two-third of patients also complain of dyspnea as a predominant self-reported symptom. In clinical practice it is often challenging to ascertain whether dyspnea represents an AF-related sympt...

Imaging for risk stratification of sudden cardiac death.
van der Bijl P, Bax JJ
Sudden cardiac death (SCD) can be effectively prevented with the use of implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD). Current guidelines advocate an ICD for primary prevention in the presence of an left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≤ 35%. The majority of individuals that experience SCD, however, have an LVEF > 35%. Multimodality cardiac imaging has the ability to visualize the three factors responsible for arrhythmia-mediated SCD, namely substrate, trigger and modulator. Advances in c...

Surgical Repair of a Sinus of Valsalva Aneurysm.
Regeer MV, van der Zwaan HB, Schoof PH, van Aarnhem EEHL
A surgically challenging case of an unruptured Sinus of Valsalva aneurysm (SoVA) with severe aortic regurgitation (AR) due to cusp prolapse is presented. Sinus reconstruction with a patch cut out from the sinus portion of a Gelweave Valsalva graft (Terumo Vascutek) was performed. Intraoperative measurements showed insufficient effective height of the right coronary cusp; therefore, cusp plication and pericardial patch augmentation of the right coronary cusp were performed with satisfying result.
