Evaluation of Clinical Applicability of Coronary Artery Calcium Assessment on Non-Gated Chest Computed Tomography, Compared With the Classic Agatston Score on Cardiac Computed Tomography.
Groen RA, Jukema JW, van Dijkman PRM, Timmermans PT, Bax JJ, Lamb HJ, de Graaf MA
Given current pretest probability (PTP) estimations tend to overestimate patients' risk for obstructive coronary artery disease, evaluation of patients' coronary artery calcium (CAC) is more precise. The value of CAC assessment with the Agatston score on cardiac computed tomography (CT) for risk estimation has been well indicated in patients with stable chest pain. CAC can be equally well assessed on routine non-gated chest CT, which is often available. This study aims to determine the...

Effectiveness of Human-Supported and Self-Help eHealth Lifestyle Interventions for Patients With Cardiometabolic Risk Factors: A Meta-Analysis.
Cohen Rodrigues TR, Breeman LD, Kinik A, Reijnders T, Dusseldorp E, Janssen VR, Kraaijenhagen RA, Atsma DE, Evers AWM, BENEFIT consortium
Objective: eHealth is a useful tool to deliver lifestyle interventions for patients with cardiometabolic diseases. However, there are inconsistent findings about whether these eHealth interventions should be supported by a human professional, or whether self-help interventions are equally effective. Methods: Databases were searched between January 1995 and October 2021 for randomized controlled trials on cardiometabolic diseases (cardiovascular disease, chronic kidney disease, type 1 and 2 diabe...

Hemodynamic implications of mitral annular calcification in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation for severe aortic stenosis.
Hirasawa K, Butcher SC, Pereira AR, Meucci MC, Stassen J, van Rosendael P, Marsan NA, Bax JJ, Delgado V
Purposes: Predicting hemodynamic changes of stenotic mitral valve (MV) lesions with mitral annular calcification (MAC) following transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) may inform clinical decision-making. This study aimed to investigate the association between the MAC severity quantified by computed tomography (CT) and changes in mean transmitral gradient (mTMG), mitral valve area (MVA) and stroke volume index (SVi) following TAVI. Methods and results: A total of 708 patients (median age...

Impact of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease on right ventricular function and remodeling after aortic valve replacement.
Myagmardorj R, Stassen J, Nabeta T, Hirasawa K, Singh GK, van der Kley F, de Weger A, Ajmone Marsan N, Delgado V, Bax JJ
Background: Both chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and right ventricular (RV) dysfunction are common factors that have been associated with poor prognosis after aortic valve replacement (AVR). Since there is still uncertainty about the impact of COPD on RV function and dilatation in patients undergoing AVR, we sought to explore RV function and remodeling in the presence and absence of COPD as well as their prognostic implications. Methods: Patients who received surgical or transcathet...

How early can atherosclerosis be detected by coronary CT angiography? Insights from quantitative CT analysis of serial scans in the PARADIGM trial.
Cardoso R, Choi AD, Shiyovich A, Besser SA, Min JK, Earls J, Andreini D, Al-Mallah MH, Budoff MJ, Cademartiri F, Chinnaiyan K, Choi JH, Chun EJ, Conte E, Gottlieb I, Hadamitzky M, Kim YJ, Lee BK, Leipsic JA, Maffei E, Marques H, de Araújo Gonçalves P, Pontone G, Pontone G, Lee SE, Sung JM, Virmani R, Samady H, Lin FY, Stone PH, Berman DS, Narula J, Shaw LJ, Bax JJ, Chang HJ, Blankstein R
Background: Non-obstructing small coronary plaques may not be well recognized by expert readers during coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) evaluation. Recent developments in atherosclerosis imaging quantitative computed tomography (AI-QCT) enabled by machine learning allow for whole-heart coronary phenotyping of atherosclerosis, but its diagnostic role for detection of small plaques on CCTA is unknown. Methods: We performed AI-QCT in patients who underwent serial CCTA in the multinat...

Boostability after single-visit pre-exposure prophylaxis with rabies vaccine: a randomised controlled non-inferiority trial.
Overduin LA, Koopman JPR, Prins C, Verbeek-Menken PH, De Pijper CA, Eblé PL, Heerink F, van Genderen PJJ, Grobusch MP, Visser LG
Background: After rabies pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) vaccination, scarcely available rabies immunoglobulins are not required for post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP). However, PrEP is not sufficiently accessible as it is cost-intensive and time-intensive. This study investigates whether rabies PrEP schedules can be shortened to one visit, removing some of these barriers. Methods: In a block-randomised (2:2:2:1) controlled, multicentre non-inferiority trial, healthy adult travellers (aged 18-50 ye...

Unal S, Feller R, Stadhouder A, Heineman DJ, Jiya TU, van Dorp M, Bahce I, Braun J, Senan S, Dahele M, Dickhoff C
Introduction: Curative-intent treatment of superior sulcus tumors (SSTs) of the lung invading the spine presents considerable challenges. We retrospectively studied outcomes in a single center, uniformly staged patient cohort treated with induction concurrent chemoradiotherapy followed by surgical resection (trimodality therapy). Methods: An institutional surgical database from the period between 2002 and 2021 was accessed to identify SSTs in which the resection included removal of at least part...

Nederend M, Kiès P, Regeer MV, Vliegen HW, Mertens BJ, Robbers-Visser D, Bouma BJ, Tops LF, Schalij MJ, Jongbloed MRM, Egorova AD
Objective: Patients with a systemic right ventricle (sRV) in the context of transposition of the great arteries (TGA) after atrial switch or congenitally corrected TGA (ccTGA) are prone to sRV dysfunction. Pharmacological options for sRV failure remain poorly defined. This study aims to investigate the tolerability and effects of sacubitril/valsartan on sRV failure in adult patients with sRV. Methods: In this two-centre, prospective cohort study, all consecutive adult patients with symptomatic h...
