Visualization of Murine Vascular Remodeling and Blood Flow Dynamics by Ultra-High-Frequency Ultrasound Imaging.
Sier VQ, de Jong A, Quax PHA, de Vries MR
Vein grafts (VGs) are used to bypass atherosclerotic obstructions and arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) as vascular access for hemodialysis. Vascular remodeling governs post-interventional arterialization, but may also induce VG and AVF failure. Although the endpoint characteristics of vascular remodeling are known, the in vivo process and the role of blood flow dynamics has not been fully studied. Therefore, here we non-invasively quantify vascular remodeling and blood flow alterations over time in...

Prognostic Value of Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease in Patients With Severe Aortic Stenosis Who Underwent Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation.
Nabeta T, Myagmardorj R, Hirasawa K, Singh GK, van der Kley F, de Weger A, Knuuti J, Bax JJ, Marsan NA, Delgado V
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular events. Although the association between NAFLD and aortic valve sclerosis has been described, the prevalence and prognostic implications of NAFLD among patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) have not been described. In addition, the effect of the presence of severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR) on the prevalence of NAFLD remains unexplored. Accordingly, we investigated the prognostic implications of...

Impact of body mass index and diabetes on myocardial fat content, interstitial fibrosis and function.
Dong X, Strudwick M, Wang WY, Borlaug BA, van der Geest RJ, Ng AC, Delgado V, Bax JJ, Ng AC
Purpose: We hypothesize that both increased myocardial steatosis and interstitial fibrosis contributes to subclinical myocardial dysfunction in patients with increased body mass index and diabetes mellitus. Background: Increased body weight and diabetes mellitus are both individually associated with a higher incidence of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. However, it is unclear how increased myocardial steatosis and interstitial fibrosis interact to influence myocardial composition...

Ventricular Tachycardia Ablation in Adult Congenital Heart Disease.
Wallet J, Kimura Y, Zeppenfeld K
Patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) are at risk for late ventricular tachycardia (VT) and sudden cardiac death. Slow conducting anatomical isthmuses, bordered by unexcitable tissue created by valve annuli, ventricular incisions, and prosthetic material are the dominant substrate for macroreentrant monomorphic VTs in repaired CHD. These well-defined substrates allow for catheter or surgical transection with clear endpoints. This review elaborates on VT substrates in various CHD, and evol...

[Are guidelines still supportive in clinical practice?]
Burgers JS, Hamming JF, Smulders YM
Clinical practice guidelines are fundamental to support knowledge and decision making of healthcare professionals in many disciplines. They can contribute to reducing undesirable practice variation, educating patients, and monitoring care. However, the burden increases if the number and size of guidelines continues to increase and as more side effects occur due to injudicious use, both in the professional and policy setting. Restricting the scope and finding the right balance between completenes...

[The role of clinical guidelines in daily practice].
Weller FS, van Bodegom-Vos L, Hamming JF
In a time of exponential growth of medical scientific knowledge medical specialists need all the help they can get in translating the vast amount of information to the best treatment for their patients. Evidence based guidelines in essence seem a useful tool in promoting this translation as they report an extensive evaluation of available evidence. In daily practice however, guidelines do not always find their way to the clinical encounter with patients. But how do the end users of clinical prac...

Arrhythmias in Repaired Tetralogy of Fallot: A Scientific Statement From the American Heart Association.
Krieger EV, Zeppenfeld K, DeWitt ES, Duarte VE, Egbe AC, Haeffele C, Lin KY, Robinson MR, Sillman C, Upadhyay S, American Heart Association Adults With Congenital Heart Disease Committee of the Council on Lifelong Congenital Heart Disease and Heart Health in the Young and Council on Clinical Cardiology
Arrhythmia and sudden cardiac death remain common in repaired tetralogy of Fallot and affect even those with excellent anatomic repairs. Atrial arrhythmia often has mechanisms different from those in acquired heart disease. Ventricular arrhythmia remains a major source of mortality in repaired tetralogy of Fallot. Noninvasive risk stratification is important to identify patients who may benefit from ablation or primary prevention implantable cardioverter defibrillators. Multiple noninvasive risk...

<b>A</b>bnormal aortic hemodynamics are associated with risk factors for aortic complications in patients with marfan syndrome.
van Andel MM, van Ooij P, de Waard V, Gottwald LM, van Kimmenade RRJ, Scholte AJ, Dickinson MG, Zwinderman AH, Mulder BJM, Nederveen AJ, Groenink M
Background: It is difficult to assess the risk for aortic dissection beyond the aortic root in patients with Marfan syndrome (MFS). To aid risk assessment in these patients, we investigated aortic flow and wall shear stress (WSS) by 4D flow magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in patients with MFS and compared the results with healthy volunteers. We hypothesized that MFS patients with a high-risk profile for aortic dissection would show abnormal hemodynamics in aortic regions associated with aortic...
