Severe pulmonary hypertension secondary to a parachute-like mitral valve, with the left superior caval vein draining into the coronary sinus, in a girl with Turner's syndrome.
van Heerde M, Hruda J, Hazekamp MG
A 17-year-old girl with Turner's syndrome underwent two cardiac operations due to severe mitral stenosis with pulmonary hypertension, caused by a parachute-like mitral valve. The anomaly was associated with persistence of the left superior caval vein, which drained to the coronary sinus, and non-compaction of the left ventricular myocardium. The association of these lesions is rare in patients with Turner's syndrome.

[Chylous ascites following surgical repair of a ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm].
Develing L, Hamming JF, Speelberg B
Two patients, a man aged 65 years and a woman aged 75 years, developed chylous ascites after emergency abdominal aortic aneurysm repair. Both patients were still on artificial ventilation at the time of diagnosis. The first symptoms were high ventilation pressure, elevated diaphragm and abdominal distension. The patients were treated conservatively with drainage, and the man was also given tube feeding without long-chain triglycerides. The man recovered, while the woman died of sepsis. Chylous a...

Generation of a candidate live marker vaccine for equine arteritis virus by deletion of the major virus neutralization domain.
Castillo-Olivares J, Wieringa R, Bakonyi T, de Vries AA, Davis-Poynter NJ, Rottier PJ
Equine arteritis virus (EAV) is an enveloped plus-strand RNA virus of the family Arteriviridae (order Nidovirales) that causes respiratory and reproductive disease in equids. Protective, virus-neutralizing antibodies (VNAb) elicited by infection are directed predominantly against an immunodominant region in the membrane-proximal domain of the viral envelope glycoprotein G(L), allowing recently the establishment of a sensitive peptide enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) based on this partic...

Preoperative comparison of different noninvasive strategies for predicting improvement in left ventricular function after coronary artery bypass grafting.
Bax JJ, Maddahi J, Poldermans D, Elhendy A, Schinkel A, Boersma E, Valkema R, Krenning EP, Roelandt JR, van der Wall EE
Thallium-201 (Tl-201) imaging and dobutamine stress echocardiography (DSE) are the most frequently used tests in the clinical setting for assessing viability. However, Tl-201 has a suboptimal specificity and DSE a suboptimal sensitivity to predict functional improvement after revascularization. F18-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) imaging is considered highly accurate, but availability is limited. Sequential imaging of Tl-201 and DSE may improve accuracy for assessing viability and may be comparable to...

Myocardial infarction in cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL).
Lesnik Oberstein SA, Jukema JW, Van Duinen SG, Macfarlane PW, van Houwelingen HC, Breuning MH, Ferrari MD, Haan J
Cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL) is an angiopathy caused by mutations in the NOTCH3 gene. Typical microvascular changes are found throughout the arterial tree, but the documented disease expression is confined to the central nervous system. In an ongoing CADASIL study, we noted a number of patients with early acute myocardial infarction (before the age of 50 years), as well as patients with electrocardiogram (ECG) abnormalities....

Secondary prevention in coronary heart disease patients with low HDL: which options do we have?
Liem AH, Jukema JW, van Veldhuisen DJ
Low levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) are frequently encountered in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD), most often in combination with elevated triglycerides as part of a dysmetabolic syndrome. Although no large secondary prevention trials with statin therapy with special emphasis on low HDL-C have been performed, some guidance can be extracted from a number of post-hoc analyses on how to treat patients with low levels of HDL-C. In terms of risk reduction, statin th...
