Learning Curve Analysis of Complex Endovascular Aortic Repair.
Warmerdam BWCM, Stevens M, van Rijswijk CSP, Eefting D, van der Meer RW, Putter H, Hamming JF, van der Vorst JR, van Schaik J
Background: When introducing new techniques, attention must be paid to learning curve. Besides quantitative outcomes, qualitative factors of influence should be taken into consideration. This retrospective cohort study describes the quantitative learning curve of complex endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) in a nonhigh-volume academic center and provides qualitative factors that were perceived as contributors to this learning curve. With these factors, we aim to aid in future implementation of new...

Thoracic aortopathy in Marfan syndrome overlaps with mechanisms seen in bicuspid aortic valve disease.
Grewal N, Dolmaci O, Jansen E, Klautz R, Driessen A, Poelmann RE
Background: Thoracic aortopathy is a serious complication which is more often seen in patients with Marfan syndrome (MFS) and patients with a bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) than in individuals with a tricuspid aortic valve (TAV). The identification of common pathological mechanisms leading to aortic complications in non-syndromic and syndromic diseases would significantly improve the field of personalized medicine. Objective: This study sought to compare thoracic aortopathy between MFS, BAV, and TA...

Managing Patients With Moderate Aortic Stenosis.
Stassen J, Ewe SH, Pio SM, Pibarot P, Redfors B, Leipsic J, Genereux P, Van Mieghem NM, Kuneman JH, Makkar R, Hahn RT, Playford D, Marsan NA, Delgado V, Ben-Yehuda O, Leon MB, Bax JJ
Current guidelines recommend that clinical surveillance for patients with moderate aortic stenosis (AS) and aortic valve replacement (AVR) may be considered if there is an indication for coronary revascularization. Recent observational studies, however, have shown that moderate AS is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular events and mortality. Whether the increased risk of adverse events is caused by associated comorbidities, or to the underlying moderate AS itself, is incompletely...

Pericoronary Adipose Tissue Attenuation in Patients With Acute Coronary Syndrome Versus Stable Coronary Artery Disease.
Kuneman JH, van Rosendael SE, van der Bijl P, van Rosendael AR, Kitslaar PH, Reiber JHC, Jukema JW, Leon MB, Ajmone Marsan N, Knuuti J, Bax JJ
Background: Pericoronary adipose tissue (PCAT) attenuation has been associated with coronary inflammation and can be evaluated with coronary computed tomography angiography. The aims of this study were to compare the PCAT attenuation across precursors of culprit and nonculprit lesions of patients with acute coronary syndrome versus stable coronary artery disease (CAD). Methods: In this case-control study, patients with suspected CAD who underwent coronary computed tomography angiography were inc...

Cardiac and obstetric outcomes of pregnancies for women after cardiotoxic therapy in childhood: a single center observational study.
Heemelaar JC, Heemelaar S, Hertel SN, Jukema JW, Sueters M, Louwerens M, Antoni ML
Background: Childhood cancer survivors (CCS) are at increased risk of cardiomyopathy during pregnancy if they have prior cardiotoxic exposure. Currently, there is no consensus on the necessity, timing and modality of cardiac monitoring during and after pregnancy. Therefore, we examined cardiac function using contemporary echocardiographic parameters during pregnancy in CCS with cardiotoxic treatment exposure, and we observed obstetric outcomes in CCS, including in women without previous cardioto...

Dekkers KF, Slieker RC, Ioan-Facsinay A, van Iterson M, BIOS consortium, Ikram MA, van Greevenbroek MMJ, Veldink JH, Franke L, Boomsma DI, Slagboom PE, Jukema JW, Heijmans BT
Immune cell function can be altered by lipids in circulation, a process potentially relevant to lipid-associated inflammatory diseases including atherosclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis. To gain further insight in the molecular changes involved, we here perform a transcriptome-wide association analysis of blood triglycerides, HDL cholesterol, and LDL cholesterol in 3229 individuals, followed by a systematic bidirectional Mendelian randomization analysis to assess the direction of effects and con...

The transmural activation interval: a new mapping tool to identify ventricular tachycardia substrates in right ventricular cardiomyopathy.
Venlet J, Piers SR, Hoogendoorn J, Androulakis AFA, de Riva M, van der Geest RJ, Zeppenfeld K, Zeppenfeld K
Aims: In right ventricular cardiomyopathy (RVCM), intramural scar may prevent rapid transmural activation, which may facilitate subepicardial ventricular tachycardia (VT) circuits. A critical transmural activation delay determined during sinus rhythm (SR) may identify VT substrates in RVCM. Methods and results: Consecutive patients with RVCM who underwent detailed endocardial-epicardial mapping and ablation for scar-related VT were enrolled. The transmural activation interval (TAI, first endocar...

Objectives: Our goal was to evaluate the outcome of valve-sparing root replacement (VSRR) and to compare the outcomes to those of patients having composite valve-graft conduit aortic root replacement (CVG-ARR) in a cohort of patients with aortic root aneurysm ± valve insufficiency, without valvular stenosis. Although valve-sparing procedures are preferable in young patients, there is a lack of comparative data in comparable patients. Methods: The VSRR procedures were performed in 2005 patients,...

Aims: Postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) is a common complication of cardiac surgery, yet difficult to detect in ambulatory patients. The primary aim of this study is to investigate the effect of a mobile health (mHealth) intervention on POAF detection after cardiac surgery. Methods and results: We performed an observational cohort study among 730 adult patients who underwent cardiac surgery at a tertiary care hospital in The Netherlands. Of these patients, 365 patients received standard c...

Feature-tracking computed tomography left atrial strain and long-term survival after transcatheter aortic valve implantation.
Hirasawa K, Singh GK, Kuneman JH, Gegenava T, van der Kley F, Hautemann D, Reiber JHC, Ajmone Marsan N, Bax JJ, Delgado V
Aims: Aortic stenosis (AS) induces left atrial (LA) remodelling through the increase of left ventricular (LV) filling pressures. Peak LA longitudinal strain (PALS), reflecting LA reservoir function, has been proposed as a prognostic marker in patients with AS. Feature-tracking (FT) multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT) allows assessment of LA strain from MDCT data. The aim of this study is to investigate the association between PALS using FT MDCT and survival in patients with severe AS who u...

Setting your clock: associations between timing of objective physical activity and cardiovascular disease risk in the general population.
Albalak G, Stijntjes M, van Bodegom D, Jukema JW, Atsma DE, van Heemst D, Noordam R
Aims: Little is known about the impact of daily physical activity timing (here referred to as 'chronoactivity') on cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. We aimed to examined the associations between chronoactivity and multiple CVD outcomes in the UK Biobank. Methods and results: physical activity data were collected in the UK-Biobank through triaxial accelerometer over a 7-day measurement period. We used K-means clustering to create clusters of participants with similar chronoactivity irr...

We evaluated the characteristics and clinical outcomes of patients implanted with an LVAD in the Netherlands. Methods: Patients implanted with an LVAD in the Netherlands between 2016 and 2020 were included in the analysis. Baseline characteristics entered into this registry, as well as clinical outcomes (death on device, heart transplantation) and major...

Quantitative perfusion assessment using indocyanine green during surgery - current applications and recommendations for future use.
Van Den Hoven P, Osterkamp J, Nerup N, Svendsen MBS, Vahrmeijer A, Van Der Vorst JR, Achiam MP
Purpose: Incorrect assessment of tissue perfusion carries a significant risk of complications in surgery. The use of near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence imaging with Indocyanine Green (ICG) presents a possible solution. However, only through quantification of the fluorescence signal can an objective and reproducible evaluation of tissue perfusion be obtained. This narrative review aims to provide an overview of the available quantification methods for perfusion assessment using ICG NIR fluorescence...
