Journal of cardiovascular development and disease, Volume 10, Issue 2, 20 3 2023, Pages 89 Intra-Individual Comparison of Sinus and Ectopic Beats Probing the Ventricular Gradient's Activation Dependence. Schoonderwoerd RM, Dik M, Man S, Maan AC, Jukema JW, Swenne CA
Wilson assumed that the ventricular gradient (VG) is independent of the ventricular activation order. This paradigm has often been refuted and was never convincingly corroborated. We sought to validate Wilson's concept by intra-individual comparison of the VG of sinus beats and ectopic beats, thus assessing the effects of both altered ventricular conduction (caused by the ectopic focus) and restitution (caused by ectopic prematurity). We studied standard diagnostic ECGs of 118 patients with... Abstract

Izquierdo-Lara RW, Heijnen L, Oude Munnink BB, Schapendonk CME, Elsinga G, Langeveld J, Post J, Prasad DK, Carrizosa C, Been F, van Beek J, Schilperoort R, Vriend R, Fanoy E, de Schepper EIT, Sikkema RS, Molenkamp R, Aarestrup FM, Medema G, Koopmans MPG, de Graaf M
Monitoring of SARS-CoV-2 in wastewater (WW) is a promising tool for epidemiological surveillance, correlating not only viral RNA levels with the infection dynamics within the population, but also to viral diversity. However, the complex mixture of viral lineages in WW samples makes tracking of specific variants or lineages circulating in the population a challenging task. We sequenced sewage samples of 9 WW-catchment areas within the city of Rotterdam, used specific signature mutations from indi... Abstract

JACC. Cardiovascular imaging, Volume 16, Issue 6, 8 2 2023, Pages 837-855 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... Abstract
