[Risk of ventricular fibrillation in patients with Wolff-Parkinson White syndrome].
Bootsma M, van der Wall EE, Schalij MJ
A 16-year-old boy suddenly fell off his stool, a 26-year-old man had persistent palpitations and a 29-year-old man was reanimated without an incriminating anamnesis. The diagnosis 'Wolff-Parkinson-White(WPW)-syndrome' was made in all three cases. The boy died as a result of postanoxic neurological injury; in the two men, further cardiac rhythm disturbances were prevented by interrupting the accessory atrioventricular connection via radiofrequency catheter ablation. In ECG databases, a...

Estimation of multilocus haplotype effects using weighted penalised log-likelihood: analysis of five sequence variations at the cholesteryl ester transfer protein gene locus.
Tanck MW, Klerkx AH, Jukema JW, De Knijff P, Kastelein JJ, Zwinderman AH
Direct analyses of haplotype effects can be used to identify those specific combinations of alleles that are associated with a specific phenotype. We introduce a method for direct haplotype analysis that solves two problems that arise when haplotypes are analysed in populations of unrelated subjects. Instead of assigning a single, most likely, haplotype pair to multiple heterozygous subjects, all haplotype pairs compatible with their genotype were determined and the posterior probabilities of th...

Effects of acute left ventricular unloading on right ventricular function in normal and chronic right ventricular pressure-overloaded lambs.
Leeuwenburgh BP, Helbing WA, Steendijk P, Schoof PH, Baan J
Objective: Right ventricular pressure overload occurs in several types of (congenital) heart disease, as well as in pulmonary disease. Clinical outcome in some of these patient groups might in part be related to left ventricular loading conditions. The effects of left ventricular unloading on the function of the hypertrophic right ventricle have not been studied. We aimed to study the effects of left ventricular unloading on right ventricular hemodynamics and contractility in an animal model of...

Cartilage degradation and invasion by rheumatoid synovial fibroblasts is inhibited by gene transfer of TIMP-1 and TIMP-3.
van der Laan WH, Quax PH, Seemayer CA, Huisman LG, Pieterman EJ, Grimbergen JM, Verheijen JH, Breedveld FC, Gay RE, Gay S, Huizinga TW, Pap T
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are believed to be pivotal enzymes in the invasion of articular cartilage by synovial tissue in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Here, we investigated the effects of gene transfer of tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) on the invasiveness of RA synovial fibroblasts (RASF) in vitro and in vivo. Adenoviral vectors (Ad) were used for gene transfer. The effects of AdTIMP-1 and AdTIMP-3 gene transfer on matrix invasion were investigated in vitro in a transwell s...

The trans-cardiac conductance method for on-line measurement of left ventricular volume: assessment of parallel conductance offset volume.
Staal EM, Steendijk P, Baan J
The trans-cardiac conductance (TCC) method provides on-line left ventricular (LV) volume signals by determining the electrical conductance of blood in the LV by means of central venous and epithoracic electrodes. Conductive structures outside the LV blood pool cause a "parallel conductance" offset term (Vp) that can be determined by bolus injections of hypertonic saline in the pulmonary artery (Vp(saline)), which cause a transient increase in blood conductivity. This study in anestheti...

Dobutamine-induced contractile reserve in stunned, hibernating, and scarred myocardium in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy.
Schinkel AF, Bax JJ, van Domburg R, Elhendy A, Valkema R, Vourvouri EC, Sozzi FB, Roelandt JR, Poldermans D
Unlabelled: Because of damage to cardiomyocytes and the contractile apparatus, contractile reserve may be observed less frequently in hibernating than in stunned myocardium. The aim of this study was to assess the presence of contractile reserve in response to dobutamine infusion in a large group of patients with stunned and hibernating myocardium. Methods: A total of 198 consecutive patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy (left ventricular ejection fraction < or = 40%) underwent resting 2-dime...

Feasibility and image quality of dual-isotope SPECT using 18F-FDG and (99m)Tc-tetrofosmin after acipimox administration.
Kam BL, Valkema R, Poldermans D, Bax JJ, Reijs AE, Rambaldi R, Boersma E, Rietveld T, Roelandt JR, Krenning EP
Unlabelled: Currently, with the rapidly increasing number of patients with heart failure due to chronic coronary artery disease, the need for viability studies to guide treatment in these patients is increasing. The most accurate method for viability assessment is metabolic imaging with (18)F-FDG with PET or SPECT. To obtain excellent image quality in all patients, the (18)F-FDG studies should be performed during hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamping. However, this approach is time-consuming and...

Chronic and adjustable pulmonary artery banding.
Leeuwenburgh BP, Schoof PH, Steendijk P, Baan J, Mooi WJ, Helbing WA
Objective: Banding of the pulmonary artery might be required to prevent pulmonary vascular damage in patients with increased pulmonary artery flow and to retrain the left ventricle in preparation for an arterial switch operation in patients with congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries. Readjustment of the pulmonary artery band might be required in the postoperative period. In this study we aimed to test the feasibility of a novel device for bidirectionally adjustable pulmonary...

Haplotype analysis of the CETP gene: not TaqIB, but the closely linked -629C-->A polymorphism and a novel promoter variant are independently associated with CETP concentration.
Klerkx AH, Tanck MW, Kastelein JJ, Molhuizen HO, Jukema JW, Zwinderman AH, Kuivenhoven JA
The TaqIB polymorphism in intron 1 of the cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) gene is associated with plasma CETP concentration, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and coronary artery disease (CAD). These associations are generally thought to arise from linkage disequilibrium between TaqIB and (an)other functional polymorphism(s). To identify putative functional sites, we investigated phenotypic associations of TaqIB and four tightly linked polymorphisms (novel -2708G-->A and...
