Left ventricular unloading and concomitant total cardiac output increase by the use of percutaneous Impella Recover LP 2.5 assist device during high-risk coronary intervention.
Valgimigli M, Steendijk P, Sianos G, Onderwater E, Serruys PW
A number of techniques have been proposed for circulatory support during high-risk percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI), but no single approach has achieved wide acceptance so far. We report on a patient with severe left ventricular (LV) impairment who underwent a PCI with the use of a new left ventricular assist device, the Impella Recover LP 2.5 system. The effects on global cardiac output were determined by thermodilution (TD) and LV pressure-volume loops obtained by conductance catheter...

Prognostic value of combined exercise and recovery electrocardiographic analysis.
Bigi R, Cortigiani L, Gregori D, Bax JJ, Fiorentini C
Background: Heart rate-adjusted ST-segment depression (ST/HR) analysis improves the diagnostic accuracy of exercise testing, but its prognostic value has not been evaluated in unselected populations. We prospectively used comparative exercise-recovery ST/HR analysis to predict outcome in a consecutive cohort of outpatients referred for exercise testing. Methods: The stress-recovery index, defined as the difference between ST/HR areas during exercise and recovery,was derived in 1163 patients (med...

Double bioprosthetic valve replacement in right-sided carcinoid heart disease.
Voigt PG, Braun J, Teng OY, Koolbergen DR, Holman E, Bax JJ, Smit VT, Dion RA
A patient with tricuspid and pulmonary regurgitation due to carcinoid syndrome successfully underwent double bioprosthetic valve replacement. This technique avoids anticoagulation treatment in a patient with hepatic dysfunction and facilitates future hepatic de-arterialization as a treatment option in carcinoid disease. Advances in treatment of carcinoid syndrome may have reduced the risk of early bioprosthetic degeneration.

No effect of C-reactive protein on early atherosclerosis development in apolipoprotein E*3-leiden/human C-reactive protein transgenic mice.
Trion A, de Maat MP, Jukema JW, van der Laarse A, Maas MC, Offerman EH, Havekes LM, Szalai AJ, Princen HM, Emeis JJ
Objective: C-reactive protein (CRP) has been associated with risk of cardiovascular disease. It is not clear whether CRP is causally involved in the development of atherosclerosis. Mouse CRP is not expressed at high levels under normal conditions and increases in concentration only several-fold during an acute phase response. Because the dynamic range of human CRP is much larger, apolipoprotein E*3-Leiden (E3L) transgenic mice carrying the human CRP gene offer a unique model to study the role(s)...

Low-energy radiofrequency catheter ablation as therapy for supraventricular tachycardia in a premature neonate.
Kolditz DP, Blom NA, Bökenkamp R, Schalij MJ
Unlabelled: A premature neonate with hydrops was born at 32 weeks of gestation after successful direct fetal amiodarone therapy via cordocentesis for incessant supraventricular tachycardia. After birth the tachycardia could not be controlled despite high doses of amiodarone and flecainide and the patient developed severe respiratory and circulatory failure. After 3 weeks, weighing 2 kg, he underwent successful and uncomplicated catheter ablation of a left free-wall accessory pathway using low-en...

Gene transfer of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-3 reverses the inhibitory effects of TNF-alpha on Fas-induced apoptosis in rheumatoid arthritis synovial fibroblasts.
Drynda A, Quax PH, Neumann M, van der Laan WH, Pap G, Drynda S, Meinecke I, Kekow J, Neumann W, Huizinga TW, Naumann M, König W, Pap T
Apart from counteracting matrix metalloproteinases, tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-3 (TIMP-3) has proapoptotic properties. These features have been attributed to the inhibition of metalloproteinases involved in the shedding of cell surface receptors such as the TNFR. However, little is known about effects of TIMP-3 in cells that are not susceptible to apoptosis by TNF-alpha. In this study, we report that gene transfer of TIMP-3 into human rheumatoid arthritis synovial fibroblasts and MRC...

[Cardiac sarcoidosis: improved prognosis through new diagnostic tests and treatment].
Smedema JP, van Erven L, Schreur JH, Dijkman-Domanska B, Snoep G, Crijns HJ
Cardiac sarcoidosis was diagnosed in 3 patients: 2 men aged 52 and 51 years, respectively, and a woman aged 55 years. Both men had ventricular tachycardia. In the first man, a right-ventricle biopsy revealed a non-caseating granuloma. The second man had active granulomatous cardiac infiltration, according to a gallium scintigram. The first man recovered after receiving immunosuppression, heart-failure medication, and an implantable defibrillator; the second received the same plus radio-frequency...

Preoperative left ventricular dimensions predict reverse remodeling following restrictive mitral annuloplasty in ischemic mitral regurgitation.
Braun J, Bax JJ, Versteegh MI, Voigt PG, Holman ER, Klautz RJ, Boersma E, Dion RA
Objective: Ischemic mitral regurgitation can be treated with a restrictive mitral annuloplasty, with or without coronary revascularization. In this study, the extent of reverse remodeling of the left ventricle following this strategy is assessed, as well as the factors that influence it. Methods: Eighty-seven consecutive patients with ischemic mitral regurgitation and a mean ejection fraction of 32+/-10% underwent restrictive mitral annuloplasty (downsizing by two ring sizes, median ring size 26...

Effect of cardiac resynchronization therapy on inducibility of ventricular tachyarrhythmias in cardiac arrest survivors with either ischemic or idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy.
Kiès P, Bax JJ, Molhoek SG, Bleeker GB, Zeppenfeld K, Bootsma M, van Erven L, Steendijk P, van der Wall EE, Schalij MJ
We evaluated whether long-term cardiac resynchronization therapy affects the inducibility of ventricular tachyarrhythmias in relation to reverse remodeling in cardiac arrest survivors with either ischemic or idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy. Clinical, electrophysiologic, and echocardiographic data of 18 patients were obtained before and after 6 months of cardiac resynchronization.

Comparison of all-cause mortality in women with known or suspected coronary artery disease referred for dobutamine stress echocardiography with normal versus abnormal test results.
Biagini E, Elhendy A, Schinkel AF, Rizzello V, van Domburg RT, Krenning BJ, Schouten O, Sozzi FB, Branzi A, Rocchi G, Simoons ML, Bax JJ, Poldermans D
The presence of myocardial ischemia during dobutamine stress echocardiography is independently associated with an increased risk of all-cause mortality in women after adjustment for clinical data. This association is observed in patients who have proved coronary artery disease and in patients who have no history of coronary artery disease.

Myocardial technetium-99m-tetrofosmin single-photon emission computed tomography compared with 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose imaging to assess myocardial viability.
Schinkel AF, Bax JJ, Biagini E, Elhendy A, van Domburg RT, Valkema R, Rizzello V, Schouten O, Simoons M, Poldermans D
Technetium-99m-tetrofosmin single-photon emission computed tomography at rest is practical for routine assessment of viability in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy. However, underestimation of viability may occur compared with 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose single-photon emission computed tomography, especially in the inferoposterior and septal regions.

Post-systolic shortening during dobutamine stress echocardiography predicts cardiac survival in patients with severe left ventricular dysfunction.
Rambaldi R, Bax JJ, Rizzello V, Biagini E, Valkema R, Roelandt JR, Poldermans D
Background: Patients with severe left ventricular dysfunction and myocardial viability by dobutamine stress echocardiography (DSE) or F18-fluorodeoxyglucose-single-photon emission computed tomography (FDG-SPECT), experience improved survival after coronary revascularization. Pulsed wave-tissue Doppler imaging (PW-TDI)-derived ejection phase shortening (EPS) and post-systolic shortening (PSS) velocities may help to quantify DSE. We assessed these variables in a prospective long-term follow-up. Me...
