Coronary calcifications as assessed on routine non-gated chest CT; a gatekeeper to tailor downstream additional imaging in patients with stable chest pain.
Groen RA, van Dijkman PRM, Jukema JW, Bax JJ, Lamb HJ, de Graaf MA
Background and aims: Currently applied methods for risk-assessment in coronary artery disease (CAD) often overestimate patients' risk for obstructive CAD. To enhance risk estimation, assessment of coronary artery calcium (CAC) can be applied. In 10 % of patients presenting with stable chest pain a previous non-gated computed tomography (CT) has been performed, suitable for CAC-assessment. This study is the first to investigate the clinical utility of CAC-assessment on non-gated CT for risk-...

Mitral Annular Disjunction in the Context of Mitral Valve Prolapse: Identifying the At-Risk Patient.
Van der Bijl P, Stassen J, Haugaa KH, Essayagh B, Basso C, Thiene G, Faletra FF, Edvardsen T, Enriquez-Sarano M, Nihoyannopoulos P, Ajmone Marsan N, Chandrashekhar YS, Bax JJ
Mitral annular disjunction (MAD), a separation between the left atrium/mitral valve annulus and the left ventricular myocardium, is frequently seen in patients with arrhythmic mitral valve prolapse. Although an association exists between MAD and ventricular arrhythmias, little is known regarding the identification of individuals at high risk. Multimodality imaging including echocardiography, computed tomography, cardiac magnetic resonance, and positron emission tomography can play an important r...

Glenn shunt as a rescue strategy for acute right ventricular failure after right ventricular myocardial infarction.
den Haan MC, Palmen M, Egorova AD, Hazekamp MG
We present the case of a 52-year-old woman with cardiogenic shock and refractory right ventricular failure due to spontaneous dissection of the right coronary artery. She remained dependent on mechanical support for several weeks. Both a right ventricular assist device implant and a bidirectional cavopulmonary anastomosis were explored as long-term support options. A history of malignancy and possible right ventricular functional recovery resulted in a decision in favour of the bidirectional cav...

Assessment of ICD eligibility in non-ischaemic cardiomyopathy patients: a position statement by the Task Force of the Dutch Society of Cardiology.
van der Lingen ACJ, Verstraelen TE, van Erven L, Meeder JG, Theuns DA, Vernooy K, Wilde AAM, Maass AH, Allaart CP
International guidelines recommend implantation of an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) in non-ischaemic cardiomyopathy (NICM) patients with a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) below 35% despite optimal medical therapy and a life expectancy of more than 1 year with good functional status. We propose refinement of these recommendations in patients with NICM, with careful consideration of additional risk parameters for both arrhythmic and non-arrhythmic death. These additional p...

Computer based method for identification of fibrotic scars from electrograms and local activation times on the epi- and endocardial surfaces of the ventricles.
Okenov A, Nezlobinsky T, Zeppenfeld K, Vandersickel N, Panfilov AV
Cardiac fibrosis stands as one of the most critical conditions leading to lethal cardiac arrhythmias. Identifying the precise location of cardiac fibrosis is crucial for planning clinical interventions in patients with various forms of ventricular and atrial arrhythmias. As fibrosis impedes and alters the path of electrical waves, detecting fibrosis in the heart can be achieved through analyzing electrical signals recorded from its surface. In current clinical practices, it has become feasible t...
