Stassen J, van Wijngaarden AL, Wu HW, Palmen M, Tomsic A, Delgado V, Bax JJ, Marsan NA
Left atrial (LA) dilatation is associated with worse outcomes in primary mitral regurgitation (MR). However, the effects of mitral valve repair on LA size and its prognostic implications are not well known. In the current study, LA volume index (LAVi) and LA reservoir strain (LASr) were evaluated immediately before and after surgery, and during long-term follow-up in 226 patients undergoing mitral valve repair for primary MR (age 62 ± 13 years, 66% male). Mean LAVi was reduced significantly afte...

Imaging for risk stratification of sudden cardiac death.
van der Bijl P, Bax JJ
Sudden cardiac death (SCD) can be effectively prevented with the use of implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD). Current guidelines advocate an ICD for primary prevention in the presence of an left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≤ 35%. The majority of individuals that experience SCD, however, have an LVEF > 35%. Multimodality cardiac imaging has the ability to visualize the three factors responsible for arrhythmia-mediated SCD, namely substrate, trigger and modulator. Advances in c...

Factors affecting inter-individual variability in endoxifen concentrations in patients with breast cancer: results from the prospective TOTAM trial.
Braal CL, Westenberg JD, Buijs SM, Abrams S, Mulder TAM, van Schaik RHN, Koolen SLW, Jager A, Mathijssen RHJ
Introduction: Endoxifen-the principal metabolite of tamoxifen-is subject to a high inter-individual variability in serum concentration. Numerous attempts have been made to explain this, but thus far only with limited success. By applying predictive modeling, we aimed to identify factors that determine the inter-individual variability. Our purpose was to develop a prediction model for endoxifen concentrations, as a strategy to individualize tamoxifen treatment by model-informed dosing in order to...

Effects of Left Bundle Branch Block and Pacemaker Implantation on Left Ventricular Systolic Function After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation.
Dolci G, Singh GK, Wang X, van der Kley F, de Weger A, Bootsma M, Ajmone Marsan N, Bax JJ, Delgado V
Permanent pacemaker implantation (PPI) and left bundle branch block (LBBB) frequency after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) and their effect on left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) remain controversial. We evaluated the incidence of PPI and new-onset LBBB after TAVI and their impact on LVEF at 6-month follow-up. Moreover, the impact of right ventricular (RV) pacing burden on changes in LVEF after TAVI was analyzed. The electrocardiograms of 377 patients (age 80 ± 7 years, 52%...

Treatment of choanal atresia in a cohort of 29 patients: Determinants for success or failure.
van Schaik CGR, Paasch S, Albrecht T, Becker S
Background: Choanal Atresia is a congenital condition that presents as a blockage from the nasal cavity to the nasopharynx. According to the German statistical Institute (Statistisches Bundesamt), the incidence in Germany in 2018 reached 2.74 in 10,000 live births. It can present unilaterally or bilaterally. As newborns are obligate nasal breathers, management of bilateral atresia has to be performed early after birth. As for unilateral atresia, the optimal age for treatment was determined to be...

Surgical Repair of a Sinus of Valsalva Aneurysm.
Regeer MV, van der Zwaan HB, Schoof PH, van Aarnhem EEHL
A surgically challenging case of an unruptured Sinus of Valsalva aneurysm (SoVA) with severe aortic regurgitation (AR) due to cusp prolapse is presented. Sinus reconstruction with a patch cut out from the sinus portion of a Gelweave Valsalva graft (Terumo Vascutek) was performed. Intraoperative measurements showed insufficient effective height of the right coronary cusp; therefore, cusp plication and pericardial patch augmentation of the right coronary cusp were performed with satisfying result.

Relation of Myocardial Work Indexes and Forward Flow Reserve in Patients With Significant Secondary Mitral Regurgitation Undergoing Transcatheter Mitral Valve Repair.
Yedidya I, Stassen J, Butcher SC, Pio SM, Lustosa RP, van der Bijl P, Vo NM, Namazi F, Marsan NA, Delgado V, Bax JJ
Left ventricular (LV) myocardial work (LVMW) indexes have shown incremental value over LV ejection fraction and were found to have prognostic significance in patients with secondary mitral regurgitation. We therefore aimed to investigate the association between LVMW indexes and forward flow reserve in patients with secondary mitral regurgitation, treated with transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER). LVMW indexes were evaluated at baseline and forward stroke volume index (FSVI) was evaluated at...

Sleep as a window to target traumatic memories.
van der Heijden AC, van den Heuvel OA, van der Werf YD, Talamini LM, van Marle HJF
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a severe psychiatric disorder in which traumatic memories result in flashbacks and nightmares. With one-third of patients not responding to standard exposure-based psychotherapy, new treatment strategies are needed. Sleep offers a unique time window to enhance therapeutic efficacy. Traumatic memories that are neutralized in therapy need to be stored back into memory (consolidated) during sleep to solidify the treatment effect. New basic research shows tha...

Nonpharmacological Applications During the Retinopathy of Prematurity Examination and Their Effects on Pain Control: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.
Erçelik ZE, Yilmaz D
Examination for retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a very painful procedure. Therefore, pain management is essential given the possibility of sensory and behavioral problems in newborns, who are constantly exposed to painful stimuli. In this light, the use of nonpharmacological methods alone or in combination with pharmacological methods is recommended for pain control. This systematic review and meta-analysis was to evaluate the effects of nonpharmacological treatments on pain during ROP exami...
