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...

Intracardiac pseudotumor caused by mitral annular calcification.
de Vrey EA, Scholte AJ, Krauss XH, Dion RA, Poldermans D, van der Wall EE, Bax JJ
The current report describes a rare case of a pseudotumor in the left ventricle. Transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography demonstrated a round, echodense, mobile mass attached to the posterior mitral leaflet and annulus. At surgical exploration caseous annular calcification of the posterior mitral leaflet was diagnosed. After resection of the mass, successful mitral valvular plasty was performed. Review of the literature indicated that mitral annular calcification is associated with an...

Histological evaluation of decellularised porcine aortic valves: matrix changes due to different decellularisation methods.
Grauss RW, Hazekamp MG, Oppenhuizen F, van Munsteren CJ, Gittenberger-de Groot AC, DeRuiter MC
Objective: Several decellularisation techniques have been developed to produce acellular matrix scaffolds for the purpose of tissue engineering, mostly comprising (non-)ionic detergents or enzymatic extraction methods. However, the effect of chemically induced decellularisation on the major structural and adhesion molecules as well as glycosaminoglycans, and the possible replenishment of lost compounds have escaped attention. Methods: Porcine aortic valves were treated with two different methods...

[Severe insuffiency of the aortic and tricuspidal valves associated with pergolide use].
van Strater AC, Bax JJ, van Hilten JJ, Jukema JW
A 58-year-old woman with Parkinson's disease was treated with high-dose pergolide for 10 years. After the addition of citalopram, a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor, to treat an anxiety disorder, she developed cardiac decompensation that was most likely related to typical pergolide-related fibroproliferative abnormalities of the tricuspidal, aortic and mitral valves, without cardiomyopathy or coronary heart disease. The aortic and tricuspidal valves were replaced with prosthetics and...

Rana JS, Monraats PS, Zwinderman AH, de Maat MP, Kastelein JJ, Doevendans PA, de Winter RJ, Tio RA, Frants RR, van der Laarse A, van der Wall EE, Jukema JW, GENDER study
Objective: Patients with metabolic syndrome have increased risk of cardiovascular events. The number of patients with metabolic syndrome is rapidly increasing, and these patients often need revascularization. However, only limited data are available on the effect of metabolic syndrome on restenosis in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Research design and methods: To assess the role of metabolic syndrome in the development of restenosis, we performed an analysis in a p...

Polymorphisms in APOA1 and LPL genes are statistically independently associated with fasting TG in men with CAD.
Souverein OW, Jukema JW, Boekholdt SM, Zwinderman AH, Tanck MW
The objective of this paper was to identify the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that show unshared effects on plasma triglyceride (TG) levels and to investigate whether these SNPs show statistically independent effects on plasma TG levels. In total, 59 polymorphisms in 20 genes involved in lipid metabolism were investigated. Polymorphisms were selected for a multivariate ANOVA model if they showed an univariate association with TG (after adjustment for HDL-C and LDL-C) in more than 50% of...

Intraoperative stenting of pulmonary arteries.
Bökenkamp R, Blom NA, De Wolf D, Francois K, Ottenkamp J, Hazekamp MG
Objective: The surgical treatment of pulmonary artery stenoses in small children with complex cardiac lesions can be technically difficult. A hybrid-approach combining corrective surgery and intraoperative stent placement may be complementary in these patients. Methods: Descriptive study in 11 small children (age: one week to 12 years, median of 12 months, weight: 2.5-20 kg) after previous cardiac surgery. Intraoperative stenting of pulmonary arteries was performed involving paediatric cardiolog...

Feasibility of tissue magnetic resonance imaging: a pilot study in comparison with tissue Doppler imaging and invasive measurement.
Paelinck BP, de Roos A, Bax JJ, Bosmans JM, van Der Geest RJ, Dhondt D, Parizel PM, Vrints CJ, Lamb HJ
Objectives: This research was intended to determine the feasibility of tissue magnetic resonance (MR) imaging in comparison with tissue Doppler imaging and its potential implications for the estimation of filling pressure, in comparison with invasive measurement. Background: Evaluation of diastolic function using MR imaging is commonly confined to the study of transmitral flow. However, transmitral flow is unreliable for the estimation of left ventricular (LV) filling pressures in hypertrophy an...

Which parameters on magnetic resonance imaging determine Q waves on the electrocardiogram?
Kaandorp TA, Bax JJ, Lamb HJ, Viergever EP, Boersma E, Poldermans D, van der Wall EE, de Roos A
Studies have demonstrated that patients with Q-wave infarctions on the electrocardiogram (ECG) frequently have nontransmural scar formation, whereas non-Q-wave infarctions may have transmural scars. The precise pathophysiologic substrate that underlies Q waves remains unclear. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the preferred technique to evaluate patients who have infarction because information can be obtained on function, contractile reserve (viability), and scar tissue. Consecutive patients (...

Cell cycle regulation of chromatin at an origin of DNA replication.
Zhou J, Chau CM, Deng Z, Shiekhattar R, Spindler MP, Schepers A, Lieberman PM
Selection and licensing of mammalian DNA replication origins may be regulated by epigenetic changes in chromatin structure. The Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) origin of plasmid replication (OriP) uses the cellular licensing machinery to regulate replication during latent infection of human cells. We found that the minimal replicator sequence of OriP, referred to as the dyad symmetry (DS), is flanked by nucleosomes. These nucleosomes were subject to cell cycle-dependent chromatin remodeling and histone...

Development of the right ventricular inflow tract and moderator band: a possible morphological and functional explanation for Mahaim tachycardia.
Jongbloed MR, Wijffels MC, Schalij MJ, Blom NA, Poelmann RE, van der Laarse A, Mentink MM, Wang Z, Fishman GI, Gittenberger-de Groot AC
Atriofascicular accessory bundles with AV-node like conduction properties can sustain atrioventricular (AV) re-entrant tachycardia (Mahaim tachycardia). During early embryogenesis, the AV canal is situated above the primitive left ventricle (LV), and a right AV connection has not been achieved yet. We studied the formation of the right ventricular (RV) inflow tract in relation to the developing cardiac conduction system and hypothesized a morphological explanation for functional atriofascicular...
