Journal of vascular surgery, Volume 70, Issue 1, 1 1 2019, Pages 286-297.e1 A systematic review of the use of near-infrared fluorescence imaging in patients with peripheral artery disease. van den Hoven P, Ooms S, van Manen L, van der Bogt KEA, van Schaik J, Hamming JF, Vahrmeijer AL, van der Vorst JR, Mieog JSD
Objective: In the diagnosis of peripheral artery disease (PAD), the ankle-brachial index plays an important role. However, results of the ankle-brachial index are unreliable in patients with severe media sclerosis. Near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence imaging using indocyanine green (ICG) can provide information about tissue perfusion and has already been studied in oncologic, reconstructive, and cardiac surgery. For patients with PAD, this technique might give insight into skin perfusion and thereb... Abstract

European radiology experimental, Volume 3, Issue 1, 20 3 2019, Pages 24 The effects of age at correction of aortic coarctation and recurrent obstruction on adolescent patients: MRI evaluation of wall shear stress and pulse wave velocity. Juffermans JF, Nederend I, van den Boogaard PJ, Ten Harkel ADJ, Hazekamp MG, Lamb HJ, Roest AAW, Westenberg JJM
Background: Coarctation patients before curative reconstruction are exposed to abnormal flow patterns which potentially could cause wall deterioration. This study evaluated the effect of age at correction on the pulse wave velocity (PWV) and peak wall shear stress (WSS) in adolescent patients with corrected coarctation. Effects of valve morphology and presence of reobstruction were also evaluated. Methods: Twenty-one patients aged 13.7 ± 2.6 years (mean ± standard deviation) were included (bicus... Abstract

Background: Impairment in domain-specific cognitive function is associated with the increased risk of mortality. We prospectively evaluated the association of executive function and memory with the risk of long-term mortality in dementia-free older subjects. Moreover, we investigated the role of structural brain abnormalities in this association. Methods: We included 547 dementia-free participants (mean age 78 years, 56.5% male) from the nested magnetic resonance imaging sub-study of the PROspec... Abstract

PloS one, Volume 14, Issue 6, 14 2 2019, Pages e0217582 Hypercholesterolemia affects cardiac function, infarct size and inflammation in APOE*3-Leiden mice following myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury. Pluijmert NJ, den Haan MC, van Zuylen VL, Steendijk P, de Boer HC, van Zonneveld AJ, Fibbe WE, Schalij MJ, Quax PHA, Atsma DE
Background: Hypercholesterolemia is a major risk factor for ischemic heart disease including acute myocardial infarction. However, long-term effects of hypercholesterolemia in a rodent myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury model are unknown. Therefore, the effects of diet-induced hypercholesterolemia on cardiac function and remodeling were investigated up to eight weeks after myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (MI-R) injury which was induced in either normocholesterolemic (NC-MI) or hypercholester...

Frontiers in cardiovascular medicine, Volume 6, 13 2 2019, Pages 77 CD8+ T Cells Protect During Vein Graft Disease Development. Simons KH, de Vries MR, Peters HAB, Jukema JW, Quax PHA, Arens R
Aims: Vein grafts are frequently used conduits for arterial reconstruction in patients with cardiovascular disease. Unfortunately, vein graft disease (VGD) causes diminished patency rates. Innate immune system components are known to contribute to VGD. However, the role of T cells has yet to be established. The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of T cells and T cell activation pathways via the T cell receptor (TCR), co-stimulation and bystander effect in VGD. Methods and results:...

Dietz MF, Prihadi EA, van der Bijl P, Goedemans L, Mertens BJA, Gursoy E, van Genderen OS, Ajmone Marsan N, Delgado V, Bax JJ
Background: In patients with significant (moderate and severe) tricuspid regurgitation (TR), the decision to intervene is influenced by right ventricular (RV) size and function. RV remodeling in significant secondary TR has been underexplored. The aim of this study was to characterize RV remodeling in patients with significant secondary TR and to investigate its prognostic implications. Methods: RV remodeling was characterized by transthoracic echocardiography in 1292 patients with significant s... Abstract

Seizure, Volume 71, 10 2 2019, Pages 50-55 The effect of early midazolam infusion on the duration of pediatric status epilepticus patients. Ulusoy E, Duman M, Türker HD, Çağlar A, Er A, Akgül F, Çitlenbik H, Öztürk A, Yılmaz D
Purpose: Status epilepticus is one of the most common neurological emergencies in pediatric emergency departments. Although there are different approaches to treatment in the literature, early control of seizure activity is the most important factor determining prognosis. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of early midazolam infusion on seizure duration. Method: This retrospective study included 150 episodes of 135 patients aged one month to 18 years old with status epilepticus... Abstract

Epigenetics & chromatin, Volume 12, Issue 1, 6 1 2019, Pages 34 Human monocyte-to-macrophage differentiation involves highly localized gain and loss of DNA methylation at transcription factor binding sites. Dekkers KF, Neele AE, Jukema JW, Heijmans BT, de Winther MPJ
Background: Macrophages and their precursors monocytes play a key role in inflammation and chronic inflammatory disorders. Monocyte-to-macrophage differentiation and activation programs are accompanied by significant epigenetic remodeling where DNA methylation associates with cell identity. Here we show that DNA methylation changes characteristic for monocyte-to-macrophage differentiation occur at transcription factor binding sites, and, in contrast to what was previously described, are generall...

European journal of cardio-thoracic surgery : official journal of the European Association for Cardio-thoracic Surgery, Volume 55, Issue 6, 1 1 2019, Pages 1202-1210 Four-dimensional flow magnetic resonance imaging-derived blood flow energetics of the inferior vena cava-to-extracardiac conduit junction in Fontan patients. Rijnberg FM, Elbaz MSM, Westenberg JJM, Kamphuis VP, Helbing WA, Kroft LJ, Blom NA, Hazekamp MG, Roest AAW
Objectives: In patients with the Fontan circulation, systemic venous return flows passively towards the lungs. Because of the absence of the subpulmonary ventricle, favourable blood flow patterns with minimal energy loss are clinically relevant. The region where the inferior vena cava, the hepatic veins and the extracardiac conduit join (IVC-conduit junction) is a potential source of increased energy loss. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between geometry and blood flow pat... Abstract

Aims: Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia/cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is characterized by ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) and sudden cardiac death (SCD). We aimed to develop a model for individualized prediction of incident VA/SCD in ARVC patients. Methods and results: Five hundred and twenty-eight patients with a definite diagnosis and no history of sustained VAs/SCD at baseline, aged 38.2 ± 15.5 years, 44.7% male, were enrolled from five registries in North America and Europe. Over 4.83 (interq... Abstract

Aims: Genetic, dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) can be caused by a large variety of mutations. Mutation carriers are often asymptomatic until DCM is well established, presenting with heart failure, arrhythmias, or sudden cardiac death. Preventive strategies can only be applied if DCM can be detected early. Echocardiographic, left ventricular (LV) global longitudinal strain (GLS) is a promising tool for early diagnosis, i.e. before a decrease in LV ejection fraction (EF) has occurred. We, therefore,...

The role of inflammation in cardiovascular disease (CVD) is now widely accepted. Immune cells, including T cells, are influenced by inflammatory signals and contribute to the onset and progression of CVD. T cell activation is modulated by T cell co-stimulation and co-inhibition pathways. Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) targeting T cell inhibition pathways have revolutionized cancer treatment and improved survival in patients with cancer. However, ICIs might induce cardiovascular toxicity via... Abstract

Aims: Anticancer therapies have extended the lives of millions of patients with malignancies, but for some this benefit is tempered by adverse cardiovascular (CV) effects. Cardiotoxicity may occur early or late after treatment initiation or termination. The extent of this cardiotoxicity is variable, depending on the type of drug used, combination with other drugs, mediastinal radiotherapy, the presence of CV risk factors, and comorbidities.
