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)...

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...

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...

Effect of three different anaesthetic agents on the postoperative production of cardiac troponin T in paediatric cardiac surgery.
Malagon I, Hogenbirk K, van Pelt J, Hazekamp MG, Bovill JG
Background: Paediatric cardiac surgery is associated with some degree of myocardial injury. Ischaemic preconditioning (IP) has been investigated widely in the adult population. Volatile agents have been shown to simulate IP providing extra protection to the myocardium during adult cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) while propofol seems to act through different mechanisms. IP has not been investigated in the paediatric population to the same extent. Cardiac troponin T (cTnT) is a reliable marker of myo...

Comparison of 99mTc-sestamibi/18FDG DISA SPECT with PET for the detection of viability in patients with coronary artery disease and left ventricular dysfunction.
Slart RH, Bax JJ, de Boer J, Willemsen AT, Mook PH, Oudkerk M, van der Wall EE, van Veldhuisen DJ, Jager PL
Purpose: Dual-isotope simultaneous acquisition (DISA) single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) is an attractive technique as it permits assessment of both myocardial glucose metabolism and perfusion within a single session, but few data on its accuracy for the assessment of viability are available as yet. In the present study, DISA SPECT was compared with positron emission tomography (PET) for the detection of myocardial viability in normal and dysfunctional left ventricular (LV) myoca...

Contrast echocardiography as a useful additional diagnostic tool in evaluating a primary cardiac tumor.
Haverkamp MC, Scholte AJ, Holman ER, Jongbloed MR, Schippers EF, de Roos A, van der Wall EE, Poldermans D, Bax JJ, Schalij MJ
The current report describes a case of a primary cardiac lymphoma. For early and appropriate treatment of a cardiac mass it is not only important to determine its localization and extension but also to differentiate between malignant and benign lesions. This report demonstrates that not only transthoracic echocardiography but also the other different forms of echocardiography such as transesophageal echocardiography, as well as contrast and intracardiac echocardiography, are useful tools in the...
