Syrogiannouli L, Wildisen L, Meuwese C, Bauer DC, Cappola AR, Gussekloo J, den Elzen WPJ, Trompet S, Westendorp RGJ, Jukema JW, Ferrucci L, Ceresini G, Åsvold BO, Chaker L, Peeters RP, Imaizumi M, Ohishi W, Vaes B, Völzke H, Sgarbi JA, Walsh JP, Dullaart RPF, Bakker SJL, Iacoviello M, Rodondi N, Del Giovane C
Background: In non-randomized studies (NRSs) where a continuous outcome variable (e.g., depressive symptoms) is assessed at baseline and follow-up, it is common to observe imbalance of the baseline values between the treatment/exposure group and control group. This may bias the study and consequently a meta-analysis (MA) estimate. These estimates may differ across statistical methods used to deal with this issue. Analysis of individual participant data (IPD) allows standardization of methods acr...

Prognostic Relevance of Right Ventricular Remodeling after ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction in Patients Treated With Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention.
Chimed S, van der Bijl P, Lustosa RP, Hirasawa K, Yedidya I, Fortuni F, van der Velde E, Montero-Cabezas JM, Marsan NA, Gersh BJ, Delgado V, Bax JJ
ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) often leads to changes in right ventricular (RV) function and size over time. The prognostic implications of RV remodeling after STEMI, however, are unknown. RV remodeling in patients who underwent STEMI with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) was defined by RV end-systolic area (RV ESA) change at 6 months after STEMI compared with baseline. The optimal threshold of RV ESA change (≥40%) to define RV remodeling was derived from spli...

Successful hybrid cardiac resynchronization therapy in a patient with failing systemic right ventricle and significant tricuspid regurgitation in transposition of the great arteries after atrial switch procedure according to Mustard.
Nederend M, Zeppenfeld K, Jongbloed MRM, Egorova AD
Background: Patients with a systemic right ventricle (sRV) in the context of transposition of the great arteries (TGA) late after atrial switch are prone to heart failure. Complications like tricuspid valve regurgitation (TR) can further aggravate sRV dysfunction. Tricuspid valve regurgitation is usually secondary to annular dilatation and restriction. Criteria for cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) in this patient group are not well defined and should be considered on a case-by-case basis....

The Intriguing Role of TLR Accessory Molecules in Cardiovascular Health and Disease.
Bezhaeva T, Karper J, Quax PHA, de Vries MR
Activation of Toll like receptors (TLR) plays an important role in cardiovascular disease development, progression and outcomes. Complex TLR mediated signaling affects vascular and cardiac function including tissue remodeling and repair. Being central components of both innate and adaptive arms of the immune system, TLRs interact as pattern recognition receptors with a series of exogenous ligands and endogenous molecules or so-called danger associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) that are released...

Myocardial infarction due to thrombotic occlusion despite anticoagulation in Kawasaki disease - a case report.
van Stijn D, Schoenmaker NJ, Planken RN, Koolbergen DR, Gouw SC, Kuijpers TW, Blom NA, Kuipers IM
Background: Kawasaki disease (KD) is a pediatric vasculitis. Mainly the coronary arteries become affected due to acute inflammation and formation of coronary artery aneurysms (CAAs) can occur. The larger the CAA, the higher the risk for clinical complications and major adverse cardiac events, as the blood flow changes to vortex or turbulent flow facilitating thrombosis. Such patients may develop life threatening thrombotic coronary artery occlusion and myocardial ischemiaunless anti-platelet and...

Aortic and Iliac Involvement in Brucellosis - A Rare but Life Threatening Manifestation: A Review of the Literature.
Willems SA, Brouwers JJWM, Eefting D
Objective: Brucellosis is the most common zoonosis worldwide. Although cardiovascular complications in human brucellosis comprise only 3% of morbidity, they are the principal cause of death. Endocarditis covers the majority of these cases. Infected aneurysms and ulcerative processes of the aorta are rare but can be life threatening as well. Currently, limited information is available about aortic and iliac involvement in brucellosis. Methods: A PubMed, Web of Science, and AccessMedicine search (...

Prevalence and circulation patterns of SARS-CoV-2 variants in European sewage mirror clinical data of 54 European cities.
Agrawal S, Orschler L, Schubert S, Zachmann K, Heijnen L, Tavazzi S, Gawlik BM, de Graaf M, Medema G, Lackner S
For community-level monitoring, the European Commission under the EU Sewage Sentinel System recommends wastewater-based SARS-CoV-2 surveillance. Tracking SARS-CoV-2 variants in a community is pivotal for appropriate public health response. Genome sequencing of SARS-CoV-2 in wastewater samples for tracking variants is challenging, often resulting in low coverage genome sequences, thereby impeding the detection of the SARS-CoV-2 mutations. Therefore, we aimed at high-coverage SARS-CoV-2 genome seq...

Interfering in the ALK1 Pathway Results in Macrophage-Driven Outward Remodeling of Murine Vein Grafts.
de Jong A, Sier VQ, Peters HAB, Schilder NKM, Jukema JW, Goumans MJTH, Quax PHA, de Vries MR
Aims: Vein grafts are frequently used to bypass coronary artery occlusions. Unfortunately, vein graft disease (VGD) causes impaired patency rates. ALK1 mediates signaling by TGF-β via TGFβR2 or BMP9/10 via BMPR2, which is an important pathway in fibrotic, inflammatory, and angiogenic processes in vascular diseases. The role of the TGF-β pathway in VGD is previously reported, however, the contribution of ALK1 signaling is not known. Therefore, we investigated ALK1 signaling in VGD in a mouse mode...

The Leiden Convention coronary coding system: translation from the surgical to the universal view.
Koppel CJ, Vliegen HW, Bökenkamp R, Ten Harkel ADJ, Kiès P, Egorova AD, Jukema JW, Hazekamp MG, Schalij MJ, Gittenberger-de Groot AC, Jongbloed MRM
Aims: The Leiden Convention coronary coding system structures the large variety of coronary anatomical patterns; isolated and in congenital heart disease. It is widely used by surgeons but not by cardiologists as the system uses a surgeons' cranial view. Since thoracic surgeons and cardiologists work closely together, a coronary coding system practical for both disciplines is mandatory. To this purpose, the 'surgical' coronary coding system was adapted to an 'imaging' sy...
