Effect of posterolateral scar tissue on clinical and echocardiographic improvement after cardiac resynchronization therapy.
Bleeker GB, Kaandorp TA, Lamb HJ, Boersma E, Steendijk P, de Roos A, van der Wall EE, Schalij MJ, Bax JJ
Background: Currently, one third of patients treated with cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) do not respond. Nonresponse to CRT may be explained by the presence of scar tissue in the posterolateral left ventricular (LV) segments, which may result in ineffective LV pacing and inadequate LV resynchronization. In the present study, the relationship between transmural posterolateral scar tissue and response to CRT was evaluated. Methods and results: Forty consecutive patients with end-stage hea...

Pericellular proteases in angiogenesis and vasculogenesis.
van Hinsbergh VW, Engelse MA, Quax PH
Pericellular proteases play an important role in angiogenesis and vasculogenesis. They comprise (membrane-type) matrix metalloproteinases [(MT-)MMPs], serine proteases, cysteine cathepsins, and membrane-bound aminopeptidases. Specific inhibitors regulate them. Major roles in initiating angiogenesis have been attributed to MT1-matrix metalloproteinase (MMP), MMP-2, and MMP-9. Whereas MT-MMPs are membrane-bound by nature, MMP-2 and MMP-9 can localize to the membrane by binding to alphavbeta3-integ...

Clinical indicators and psychosocial aspects in peripheral arterial disease.
Aquarius AE, De Vries J, Henegouwen DP, Hamming JF
Hypothesis: Patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) often experience substantial impairment in health status and quality of life (QOL), but factors associated with these outcomes are unknown. We hypothesized that subjective pain symptoms in the legs and social support and stress (the degree to which situations are appraised as stressful) are associated with impaired health status and QOL. Design: Cross-sectional observational study. Setting: Vascular outpatient clinic of a teaching hospi...

[Mechanical circulatory support after paediatric cardiac surgery].
Hazekamp MG
When circulatory failure occurs after paediatric cardiac surgery despite conventional therapy (inotropic medication, optimising pre- and afterload) mechanical assist devices can be used. Assist devices can be categorised in different ways: according to the type of pump used (centrifugal, axial flow, or pneumatic), according to univentricular or biventricular support and in relation to the presence of an oxygenator. Paediatric devices are non-implantable. Extra-corporeal membrane oxygenation (ECM...

Cardiovascular magnetic resonance in the follow-up of patients with corrected tetralogy of Fallot: a review.
Oosterhof T, Mulder BJ, Vliegen HW, de Roos A
Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is becoming an important tool in the clinical management of patients with congenital heart disease. Because of the diverse problems patients may face after initial correction for tetralogy of Fallot and the large amount of CMR techniques that can be applied, creating a patient-orientated imaging protocol is a difficult issue. Although it is still not certain what the impact of some parameters, provided by CMR, should be on clinical decision making, new tec...

Adding salmeterol to an inhaled corticosteroid: long term effects on bronchial inflammation in asthma.
Koopmans JG, Lutter R, Jansen HM, van der Zee JS
Background: Addition of the long acting beta2 agonist salmeterol to inhaled corticosteroids leads to better symptomatic asthma control than increasing the dose of inhaled corticosteroids. However, little is known about the long term effects of adding salmeterol on the asthmatic inflammatory process, control of which is considered important for the long term outcome of asthma. Methods: After a 4 week fluticasone run-in period, 54 patients with allergic asthma were randomised to receive twice dail...

Transduction of myogenic cells by retargeted dual high-capacity hybrid viral vectors: robust dystrophin synthesis in duchenne muscular dystrophy muscle cells.
Gonçalves MA, Holkers M, Cudré-Mauroux C, van Nierop GP, Knaän-Shanzer S, van der Velde I, Valerio D, de Vries AA
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is caused by mutations in the dystrophin gene (DMD), making it amenable to gene- or cell-based therapies. Another possible treatment entails the combination of both principles by transplantation of autologous myogenic cells after their genetic complementation. This approach requires efficient and stable transduction of these cells with recombinant DMD. Recently, we generated a dual high-capacity (hc) adenovirus (Ad)-adeno-associated virus (AAV) hybrid vector (HV...

Histology of vascular myocardial wall of left atrial body after pulmonary venous incorporation.
Douglas YL, Jongbloed MR, Gittenberger-de Groot AC, Evers D, Dion RA, Voigt P, Bartelings MM, Schalij MJ, Ebels T, DeRuiter MC
During embryonic development, the common pulmonary vein (PV) becomes incorporated into the left atrium, giving rise to separate PV ostia. We describe the consequences of this incorporation process for the histology of the left atrium and the possible clinical implications. The histology of the left atrial (LA) wall in relation to PV incorporation was studied immunohistochemically in 16 human embryos and fetuses, 1 neonate, and 5 adults. The PV wall, surrounded by extrapericardially differentiate...
