Left ventricular global longitudinal strain in bicupsid aortic valve patients: head-to-head comparison between computed tomography, 4D flow cardiovascular magnetic resonance and speckle-tracking echocardiography.
van den Hoven AT, Yilmazer S, Chelu RG, van Grootel RWJ, Minderhoud SCS, Bons LR, van Berendoncks AM, Duijnhouwer AL, Siebelink HJ, van den Bosch AE, Budde RPJ, Roos-Hesselink JW, Hirsch A
Left ventricular global longitudinal strain (LVGLS) analysis is a sensitive measurement of myocardial deformation most often done using speckle-tracking transthoracic echocardiography (TTE). We propose a novel approach to measure LVGLS using feature-tracking software on the magnitude dataset of 4D flow cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) and compare it to dynamic computed tomography (CT) and speckle tracking TTE derived measurements. In this prospective cohort study 59 consecutive adult pati...

Myostatin Inhibits Vascular Smooth Muscle Cell Proliferation and Local 14q32 microRNA Expression, But Not Systemic Inflammation or Restenosis.
Goossens EAC, de Vries MR, Jukema JW, Quax PHA, Nossent AY
Myostatin is a negative regulator of muscle cell growth and proliferation. Furthermore, myostatin directly affects the expression of 14q32 microRNAs by binding the 14q32 locus. Direct inhibition of 14q32 microRNA miR-495-3p decreased postinterventional restenosis via inhibition of both vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) proliferation and local inflammation. Here, we aimed to investigate the effects of myostatin in a mouse model for postinterventional restenosis. In VSMCs in vitro, myostatin led...

Characteristics and Prognosis of Patients With Nonvalvular Atrial Fibrillation and Significant Valvular Heart Disease Referred for Electrical Cardioversion.
Vo NM, Leung M, van Rosendael PJ, Goedemans L, van Wijngaarden SE, Prihadi EA, van der Bijl P, Ajmone Marsan N, Delgado V, Bax JJ
Valvular atrial fibrillation (AF) is defined as AF in the presence of mitral stenosis or mechanical valve prosthesis. However, there are patients with AF who have significant native valvular heart disease (VHD) others than mitral stenosis that are classified as nonvalvular AF. The characteristics and prognostic implications of these entities have not been extensively studied. Of 1,885 AF patients referred for electrical cardioversion (64 ± 13years, 71% male), 171 (9.1%) had valvular AF (any grad...

A novel approach to resolve severe mediastinal and subcutaneous emphysema occurring in Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia using vacuum-assisted closure therapy.
Bouwmeester NH, Kieft H, Shahin GM, Nierich AP
A 50-year-old human immunodeficiency virus positive patient who was diagnosed with Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia developed severe subcutaneous and mediastinal emphysema, which was progressive despite low pressure mechanical ventilation. Infraclavicular skin incisions and vacuum-assisted closure therapy were used to resolve the emphysema. The subcutaneous emphysema decreased significantly, and after 1 week the vacuum-assisted closure therapy was ended successfully. This technique has previousl...

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...

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...
