Fatigue as Presenting Symptom and a High Burden of Premature Ventricular Contractions Are Independently Associated With Increased Ventricular Wall Stress in Patients With Normal Left Ventricular Function.
van Huls van Taxis CF, Piers SR, de Riva Silva M, Dekkers OM, Pijnappels DA, Schalij MJ, Wijnmaalen AP, Zeppenfeld K
Background: High idiopathic premature ventricular contractions (PVC) burden has been associated with PVC-induced cardiomyopathy. Patients may be symptomatic before left ventricular (LV) dysfunction develops. N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and circumferential end-systolic wall stress (cESS) on echocardiography are markers for increased ventricular wall stress. This study aimed to evaluate the relation between presenting symptoms, PVC burden, and increased ventricular wall s...

van der Spoel TI, Gathier WA, Koudstaal S, van Slochteren F, Of Lorkeers SJ, Sluijter JP, Hoefer IE, Steendijk P, Cramer MJ, Doevendans PA, van Belle E, Chamuleau SA
Cardiac cell therapy is a strategy to treat patients with chronic myocardial infarction (MI). No consensus exists regarding the optimal cell type. First, a comparison between autologous bone marrow-derived mononuclear cells (BMMNC) and mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) on therapeutic efficacy after MI was performed. Next, the effect of repetitive, NOGA-guided transendocardial injection was determined via a crossover design. Nineteen pigs were allocated in three groups: (1) placebo (at 4 and 8 weeks),...

Existing knowledge of genetic variants affecting risk of coronary artery disease (CAD) is largely based on genome-wide association study (GWAS) analysis of common SNPs. Leveraging phased haplotypes from the 1000 Genomes Project, we report a GWAS meta-analysis of ∼185,000 CAD cases and controls, interrogating 6.7 million common (minor allele frequency (MAF) > 0.05) and 2.7 million low-frequency (0.005 < MAF < 0.05) variants. In addition to confirming most known CAD-associated loci, we id...

A porcine model of hypertensive cardiomyopathy: implications for heart failure with preserved ejection fraction.
Schwarzl M, Hamdani N, Seiler S, Alogna A, Manninger M, Reilly S, Zirngast B, Kirsch A, Steendijk P, Verderber J, Zweiker D, Eller P, Höfler G, Schauer S, Eller K, Maechler H, Pieske BM, Linke WA, Casadei B, Post H
Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFPEF) evolves with the accumulation of risk factors. Relevant animal models to identify potential therapeutic targets and to test novel therapies for HFPEF are missing. We induced hypertension and hyperlipidemia in landrace pigs (n = 8) by deoxycorticosteroneacetate (DOCA, 100 mg/kg, 90-day-release subcutaneous depot) and a Western diet (WD) containing high amounts of salt, fat, cholesterol, and sugar for 12 wk. Compared with weight-matched contro...

Anacetrapib reduces (V)LDL cholesterol by inhibition of CETP activity and reduction of plasma PCSK9.
van der Tuin SJ, Kühnast S, Berbée JF, Verschuren L, Pieterman EJ, Havekes LM, van der Hoorn JW, Rensen PC, Jukema JW, Princen HM, Willems van Dijk K, Wang Y
Recently, we showed in APOE*3-Leiden cholesteryl ester transfer protein (E3L.CETP) mice that anacetrapib attenuated atherosclerosis development by reducing (V)LDL cholesterol [(V)LDL-C] rather than by raising HDL cholesterol. Here, we investigated the mechanism by which anacetrapib reduces (V)LDL-C and whether this effect was dependent on the inhibition of CETP. E3L.CETP mice were fed a Western-type diet alone or supplemented with anacetrapib (30 mg/kg body weight per day). Microarray analyses o...

Circulating MicroRNAs Characterizing Patients with Insufficient Coronary Collateral Artery Function.
Hakimzadeh N, Nossent AY, van der Laan AM, Schirmer SH, de Ronde MW, Pinto-Sietsma SJ, van Royen N, Quax PH, Hoefer IE, Piek JJ
Background: Coronary collateral arteries function as natural bypasses in the event of coronary obstruction. The degree of collateral network development significantly impacts the outcome of patients after an acute myocardial infarction (AMI). MicroRNAs (miRNAs, miRs) have arisen as biomarkers to identify heterogeneous patients, as well as new therapeutic targets in cardiovascular disease. We sought to identify miRNAs that are differentially expressed in chronic total occlusion (CTO) patients wit...

Fibrinogen reduction and coagulation in cardiac surgery: an investigational study.
Gielen CL, Grimbergen J, Klautz RJ, Koopman J, Quax PH
Fibrinogen as precursor of fibrin plays an essential role in clot formation. There are three main mechanisms associated with a reduction in fibrinogen concentration during cardiac surgery: hemodilution, consumption, and degradation. Moreover, early fibrinogen degradation products (FgDPs) can interfere with normal fibrin formation of intact fibrinogen. The aim of this study was to determine the relative contributions of hemodilution, consumption, and degradation to fibrinogen loss in cardiac surg...

The tricuspid valve and the right heart: anatomical, pathological and imaging specifications.
van Rosendael PJ, Delgado V, Bax JJ
Transcatheter tricuspid valve repair/replacement is an emerging therapy for patients with symptomatic severe tricuspid regurgitation who are deemed inoperable. Accurate knowledge of the anatomy of the tricuspid valve and right ventricle is key to developing transcatheter techniques. In addition, it is important to understand the mechanistic concept of transcatheter tricuspid valve repair/replacement in order to select the patients who may benefit from it. The severity and mechanism of tricuspid...

Effect of statins on aortic root growth rate in patients with bicuspid aortic valve anatomy.
Regeer MV, van Rosendael PJ, Kamperidis V, Schalij MJ, Bax JJ, Marsan NA, Delgado V
Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) anatomy is associated with increased growth rate of the aortic root compared to tricuspid aortic valves. Statins decrease the growth rate of abdominal aneurysms; however their effect on the aortic root growth rate has not been elucidated. The present study evaluated the association between use of statins and aortic root growth in patients with BAV. A total of 199 patients (43 ± 15 years, 69% male) with BAV who underwent ≥ 2 echocardiographic measurements of the aortic...
