4D MDCT in the assessment of the tricuspid valve and its spatial relationship with the right coronary artery: A customized tool based on computed tomography for the planning of percutaneous procedures.
Pappalardo OA, Votta E, Selmi M, Luciani GB, Redaelli A, Delgado V, Bax JJ, Ajmone Marsan N
Multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) is currently the imaging technique of choice for the assessment of tricuspid valve (TV) annulus geometry and relationship with the right coronary artery (RCA). However, standardized protocols with a full 3D analysis are still lacking to plan percutaneous procedures for functional tricuspid regurgitation (FTR). A novel customized 4-dimensional tool based on MDCT data was developed and provided accurate information on TV annulus morphology (3D-perimeter, 2D...

Identification of known and unknown genes associated with mitral valve prolapse using an exome slice methodology.
van Wijngaarden AL, Hiemstra YL, Koopmann TT, Ruivenkamp CAL, Aten E, Schalij MJ, Bax JJ, Delgado V, Barge-Schaapveld DQCM, Ajmone Marsan N
Purpose: Although a familial distribution has been documented, the genetic aetiology of mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is largely unknown, with only four genes identified so far: FLNA, DCHS1, DZIP1 and PLD1. The aim of this study was to evaluate the genetic yield in known causative genes and to identify possible novel genes associated with MVP using a heart gene panel based on exome sequencing. Methods: Patients with MVP were referred for genetic counselling when a positive family history for MVP w...

Generation of two human induced pluripotent stem cell lines, LUMCi020-A and LUMCi021-A, from two patients with Catecholaminergic Polymorphic Ventricular Tachycardia carrying heterozygous mutations in the RYR2 gene.
Meraviglia V, Arendzen CH, Freund C, Atsma DE, Mummery CL, Bellin M
Catecholaminergic Polymorphic Ventricular Tachycardia (CPVT) is a malignant channelopathy associated with exercise- and stress-induced cardiac sudden death. The autosomal dominant form of CPVT is due to mutations in the ryanodine receptor 2 (RYR2) gene. We generated induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) from skin fibroblasts of two patients carrying the c.12441 G>T and c.14885 A>G RYR2 missense mutations, respectively, using non-integrating Sendai virus. These lines show the typical morp...

Teamwork and Safety Attitudes in Complex Aortic Surgery at a Dutch Hospital: Cross-Sectional Survey Study.
Hilt AD, Kaptein AA, Schalij MJ, van Schaik J
Background: Improving teamwork in surgery is a complex goal and difficult to achieve. Human factors questionnaires, such as the Safety Attitudes Questionnaire (SAQ), can help us understand medical teamwork and may assist in achieving this goal. Objective: This paper aimed to assess local team and safety culture in a cardiovascular surgery setting to understand how purposeful teamwork improvements can be reached. Methods: Two cardiovascular surgical teams performing complex aortic treatments were...

Human epicardium-derived cells reinforce cardiac sympathetic innervation.
Ge Y, Smits AM, van Munsteren JC, Gittenberger-de Groot AC, Poelmann RE, van Brakel TJ, Schalij MJ, Goumans MJ, DeRuiter MC, Jongbloed MRM
Rationale: After cardiac damage, excessive neurite outgrowth (sympathetic hyperinnervation) can occur, which is related to ventricular arrhythmias/sudden cardiac death. Post-damage reactivation of epicardium causes epicardium-derived cells (EPDCs) to acquire a mesenchymal character, contributing to cardiac regeneration. Whether EPDCs also contribute to cardiac re/hyperinnervation, is unknown. Aim: To investigate whether mesenchymal EPDCs influence cardiac sympathetic innervation. Methods and res...

Identification of Functional Variant Enhancers Associated With Atrial Fibrillation.
van Ouwerkerk AF, Bosada FM, Liu J, Zhang J, van Duijvenboden K, Chaffin M, Tucker NR, Pijnappels D, Ellinor PT, Barnett P, de Vries AAF, Christoffels VM
Rationale: Genome-wide association studies have identified a large number of common variants (single-nucleotide polymorphisms) associated with atrial fibrillation (AF). These variants are located mainly in noncoding regions of the genome and likely include variants that modulate the function of transcriptional regulatory elements (REs) such as enhancers. However, the actual REs modulated by variants and the target genes of such REs remain to be identified. Thus, the biological mechanisms by whic...

Influence of long-standing pulmonary arterial hypertension and its severity on pulmonary artery aneurysm development.
Nuche J, Montero-Cabezas JM, Lareo A, Huertas S, Jiménez López-Guarch C, Velázquez Martín M, Alonso Charterina S, Revilla Ostolaza Y, Delgado JF, Arribas Ynsaurriaga F, Escribano Subías P
Pulmonary artery aneurysm (PAA) is a common finding in patients with long-term pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). The influence of PAH severity in the development of PAA remains unclear. We sought to determine whether PAA development is related to PAH severity and whether treatment optimization based on risk profile estimation is effective to stop pulmonary artery (PA) enlargement. This is a retrospective study of 125 PAH patients who underwent an imaging test (computed tomography or magneti...

Background: Patients with a bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) are at risk of developing valve deterioration and aortic dilatation. We aimed to investigate whether blood biomarkers are associated with disease stage in patients with BAV. Methods: Serum levels of high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP), high sensitivity troponin T (hsTnT), N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), and total transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-ß1) were measured in adult BAV patients with valve dysfunct...

Michalski B, Dweck MR, Marsan NA, Cameli M, D'Andrea A, Carvalho RF, Holte E, Podlesnikar T, Manka R, Haugaa KH
Aortic stenosis (AS) is the most prevalent valvular disease in developed countries, with a prevalence that is set to expand further with an ageing population. The most recent guidelines on valvular heart disease published by the European Society of Cardiology and the European Association for Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, aim to standardize the diagnosis and management of valvular heart diseases. The imaging criteria of the current guidelines are mostly based on EACVI Recommendations, with an appropri...

Karthaus EG, Vahl A, van der Werf LR, Elsman BHP, Van Herwaarden JA, Wouters MWJM, Hamming JF
Objective: To evaluate reasons to deviate from aneurysm diameter thresholds, and focus on the difference in how Dutch vascular surgical units (VSUs) perceive their deviation and their actual deviation. Background: Guidelines recommend surgical treatment for asymptomatic abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) with a diameter of at least 55 mm for men and 50 mm for women. We evaluate reasons to deviate from these guidelines, and focus on the difference in how Dutch vascular surgical units (VSUs) percei...
