Objective: To explore genetic and lifestyle risk factors of MRI-defined brain infarcts (BI) in large population-based cohorts. Methods: We performed meta-analyses of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and examined associations of vascular risk factors and their genetic risk scores (GRS) with MRI-defined BI and a subset of BI, namely, small subcortical BI (SSBI), in 18 population-based cohorts (n = 20,949) from 5 ethnicities (3,726 with BI, 2,021 with SSBI). Top loci were followed up in 7 pop... Abstract

Journal of clinical tuberculosis and other mycobacterial diseases, Volume 15, 25 4 2019, Pages 100089 Abnormalities suggestive of latent tuberculosis infection on chest radiography; how specific are they? Uzorka JW, Kroft LJM, Bakker JA, van Zwet EW, Huisman E, Prins C, van der Zwan CJ, Ottenhoff THM, Arend SM
Background: Several radiological features have been reported in association with latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) but it has not been studied which are specific. The aim of this study was to evaluate allegedly characteristic abnormalities on chest radiography (CXR) in patients with LTBI compared to uninfected controls. Methods: From 236 patients tested with QuantiFERON-TB Gold In-Tube (QFT), the CXR was re-evaluated in a blinded fashion for fibrotic scarring, (non-)calcified nodules and pleu... Abstract

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of quantitative electrocardiographic (ECG) traits in large consortia have identified more than 130 loci associated with QT interval, QRS duration, PR interval, and heart rate (RR interval). In the current study, we meta-analyzed genome-wide association results from 30,000 mostly Dutch samples on four ECG traits: PR interval, QRS duration, QT interval, and RR interval. SNP genotype data was imputed using the Genome of the Netherlands reference panel encompas... Abstract

Pacing and clinical electrophysiology : PACE, Volume 42, Issue 3, 22 4 2019, Pages 313-320 Atrial fibrillation history impact on catheter ablation outcome. Findings from the ESC-EHRA Atrial Fibrillation Ablation Long-Term Registry. Stabile G, Trines SA, Arbelo E, Dagres N, Brugada J, Kautzner J, Pokushalov E, Maggioni AP, Laroche C, Anselmino M, Beinart R, Traykov V, Blomström Lundqvist C, ESC-EHRA Atrial Fibrillation Ablation Long-Term Registry investigators
Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) promotes atrial remodeling that in turn promotes AF perpetuation. The aim of our study is to investigate the impact of AF history length on 1-year outcome of AF catheter ablation in a cohort of patients enrolled in the Atrial Fibrillation Ablation Registry. Methods: We described the real-life clinical epidemiology, therapeutic strategies, and the short- and mid-term outcomes of 1948 patients (71.9% with paroxysmal AF) undergoing AF ablation procedures, strati...

The Journal of pathology, Volume 247, Issue 3, 16 3 2019, Pages 333-346 Inflammation induces endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition and promotes vascular calcification through downregulation of BMPR2. Sánchez-Duffhues G, García de Vinuesa A, van de Pol V, Geerts ME, de Vries MR, Janson SG, van Dam H, Lindeman JH, Goumans MJ, Ten Dijke P
Endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EndMT) has been unveiled as a common cause for a multitude of human pathologies, including cancer and cardiovascular disease. Vascular calcification is a risk factor for ischemic vascular disorders and slowing calcification may reduce mortality in affected patients. The absence of early biomarkers hampers the identification of patients at risk. EndMT and vascular calcification are induced upon cooperation between distinct stimuli, including inflammatory cyt...

Keçe F, Scholte AJ, de Riva M, Naruse Y, Watanabe M, Alizadeh Dehnavi R, Schalij MJ, Zeppenfeld K, Trines SA
Background: The posterior wall of the left atrium (LA) is a well-known substrate for atrial fibrillation (AF) maintenance. Isolation of the posterior wall between the pulmonary veins (box lesion) may improve ablation success. Box lesion surface area size varies depending on the individual anatomy. This retrospective study evaluates the influence of box lesion surface area as a ratio of total LA surface area (box surface ratio) on arrhythmia recurrence. Methods: Seventy consecutive patients with... Abstract

Smoking is a major heritable and modifiable risk factor for many diseases, including cancer, common respiratory disorders and cardiovascular diseases. Fourteen genetic loci have previously been associated with smoking behaviour-related traits. We tested up to 235,116 single nucleotide variants (SNVs) on the exome-array for association with smoking initiation, cigarettes per day, pack-years, and smoking cessation in a fixed effects meta-analysis of up to 61 studies (up to 346,813 participants).

Pacing and clinical electrophysiology : PACE, Volume 42, Issue 2, 2 1 2019, Pages 120-129 Remote monitoring of implantable cardioverter defibrillators: Patient experiences and preferences for follow-up. Timmermans I, Meine M, Szendey I, Aring J, Romero Roldán J, van Erven L, Kahlert P, Zitron E, Mabo P, Denollet J, Versteeg H
Background: Patient satisfaction with remote patient monitoring (RPM) of implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) seems to be high, yet knowledge on long-term patient experiences is limited. The European REMOTE-CIED study explored patients' experiences with RPM, examined patient's preferences for ICD follow-up, and identified determinants of patient's preferences in the first 2 years postimplantation. Methods: European heart failure patients (N = 300; median age = 66 years [... Abstract

Journal of Alzheimer's disease : JAD, Volume 67, Issue 1, 1 1 2019, Pages 279-289 Spatial QRS-T Angle and Cognitive Decline in Older Subjects. Mahinrad S, Ferguson I, Macfarlane PW, Clark EN, Stott DJ, Ford I, Mooijaart SP, Trompet S, van Heemst D, Jukema JW, Sabayan B
Background: An abnormally wide spatial QRS-T angle on an ECG is a marker of heterogeneity in electrical activity of cardiac ventricles and is linked with cardiovascular events. Growing evidence suggests that cardiac dysfunction might signal future cognitive decline. Objective: In this study, we investigated whether spatial QRS-T angle associates with future cognitive decline in older subjects at high cardiovascular risk. Methods: We included 4,172 men and women (mean age 75.2±3.3 years) free of... Abstract

Endocrine-related cancer, Volume 26, Issue 1, 1 1 2019, Pages 1-12 Hotspot DAXX, PTCH2 and CYFIP2 mutations in pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms. Vandamme T, Beyens M, Boons G, Schepers A, Kamp K, Biermann K, Pauwels P, De Herder WW, Hofland LJ, Peeters M, Van Camp G, Op de Beeck K
Mutations in DAXX/ATRX, MEN1 and genes involved in the phosphoinositide-3-kinase/Akt/mammalian target of rapamycin (PI3K/Akt/mTOR) pathway have been implicated in pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (pNENs). However, mainly mutations present in the majority of tumor cells have been identified, while proliferation-driving mutations could be present only in small fractions of the tumor. This study aims to identify high- and low-abundance mutations in pNENs using ultra-deep targeted resequencing. F... Abstract
