Correlates and Long-Term Implications of Left Ventricular Mechanical Dispersion by Two-Dimensional Speckle-Tracking Echocardiography in Patients with ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction.
Abou R, Goedemans L, van der Bijl P, Fortuni F, Prihadi EA, Mertens B, Schalij MJ, Ajmone Marsan N, Bax JJ, Delgado V
Background: Left ventricular (LV) mechanical dispersion (LVMD), measured with speckle-tracking echocardiography (STE) after ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), has been proposed as a measurement of regional heterogeneity of myocardial contraction and may reflect changes in the myocardial structure (e.g., fibrosis or edema). Further insight into this parameter may aid in the risk stratification of STEMI patients. Methods: A total of 1,000 STEMI patients (77% male, 60 ± 12 years) t...

Left and Right Ventricular Impairment Shortly After Correction of Tetralogy of Fallot.
Terol C, Kamphuis VP, Hazekamp MG, Blom NA, Ten Harkel ADJ
Surgical repair of Tetralogy of Fallot (ToF) is usually performed in the first months of life with low early postoperative mortality. During long-term follow-up, however, both right (RV) and left ventricular (LV) performances may deteriorate. Tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) and speckle tracking echocardiography (ST) can unmask a diminished RV and LV performance. The objective of the current study was to assess the cardiac performance before and shortly after corrective surgery in ToF patients using...

Chang CC, Veen KM, Hahn RT, Bogers AJJC, Latib A, Oei FBS, Abdelghani M, Modolo R, Ho SY, Abdel-Wahab M, Fattouch K, Bosmans J, Caliskan K, Taramasso M, Serruys PW, Bax JJ, van Mieghem NMDA, Takkenberg JJM, Lurz P, Modine T, Soliman O
Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is a frequent and complex problem, commonly combined with left-sided heart disease, such as mitral regurgitation. Significant TR is associated with increased mortality if left untreated or recurrent after therapy. Tricuspid regurgitation was historically often disregarded and remained undertreated. Surgery is currently the only Class I Guideline recommended therapy for TR, in the form of annuloplasty, leaflet repair, or valve replacement. As growing experience of tra...

Intraoperative cryoablation in late pulmonary valve replacement for tetralogy of Fallot.
Nevvazhay T, Zeppenfeld K, Brouwer C, Hazekamp M
Ventricular tachyarrhythmia (VT) is a major cause of late morbidity and mortality in patients who underwent surgical repair of tetralogy of Fallot. The majority of VTs are monomorphic macro-reentrant VT (MVT) and depend on slow conducting areas of diseased myocardium bordered by unexcitable tissue (anatomical isthmuses). Myocardial fibrosis due to surgical incisions, patch material and valve annuli are typical boundaries of anatomical isthmuses (AI). The conducting myocardium between the pulmona...

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) can cause coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), an influenza-like disease that is primarily thought to infect the lungs with transmission through the respiratory route. However, clinical evidence suggests that the intestine may present another viral target organ. Indeed, the SARS-CoV-2 receptor angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) is highly expressed on differentiated enterocytes. In human small intestinal organoids (hSIOs), enterocyt...

A multi-layered structure of the interphase chromocenter revealed by proximity-based biotinylation.
Kochanova NY, Schauer T, Mathias GP, Lukacs A, Schmidt A, Flatley A, Schepers A, Thomae AW, Imhof A
During interphase centromeres often coalesce into a small number of chromocenters, which can be visualized as distinct, DAPI dense nuclear domains. Intact chromocenters play a major role in maintaining genome stability as they stabilize the transcriptionally silent state of repetitive DNA while ensuring centromere function. Despite its biological importance, relatively little is known about the molecular composition of the chromocenter or the processes that mediate chromocenter formation and mai...

A dynamic microbial sulfur cycle in a serpentinizing continental ophiolite.
Sabuda MC, Brazelton WJ, Putman LI, McCollom TM, Hoehler TM, Kubo MDY, Cardace D, Schrenk MO
Serpentinization is the hydration and oxidation of ultramafic rock, which occurs as oceanic lithosphere is emplaced onto continental margins (ophiolites), and along the seafloor as faulting exposes this mantle-derived material to circulating hydrothermal fluids. This process leads to distinctive fluid chemistries as molecular hydrogen (H2 ) and hydroxyl ions (OH- ) are produced and reduced carbon compounds are mobilized. Serpentinizing ophiolites also serve as a vector to transport sulfur compou...
