Aims: We aimed to evaluate the frequency, clinical features, and prognostic implications of cardiac arrest (CA) in takotsubo syndrome (TTS). Methods and results: We reviewed the records of patients with CA and known heart rhythm from the International Takotsubo Registry. The main outcomes were 60-day and 5-year mortality. In addition, predictors of mortality and predictors of CA during the acute TTS phase were assessed. Of 2098 patients, 103 patients with CA and known heart rhythm during CA were... Abstract

Background: After acute coronary syndrome, diabetes conveys an excess risk of ischaemic cardiovascular events. A reduction in mean LDL cholesterol to 1·4-1·8 mmol/L with ezetimibe or statins reduces cardiovascular events in patients with an acute coronary syndrome and diabetes. However, the efficacy and safety of further reduction in LDL cholesterol with an inhibitor of proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) after acute coronary syndrome is unknown. We aimed to explore this issue... Abstract

Journal of vascular surgery, Volume 70, Issue 1, 1 1 2019, Pages 286-297.e1 A systematic review of the use of near-infrared fluorescence imaging in patients with peripheral artery disease. van den Hoven P, Ooms S, van Manen L, van der Bogt KEA, van Schaik J, Hamming JF, Vahrmeijer AL, van der Vorst JR, Mieog JSD
Objective: In the diagnosis of peripheral artery disease (PAD), the ankle-brachial index plays an important role. However, results of the ankle-brachial index are unreliable in patients with severe media sclerosis. Near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence imaging using indocyanine green (ICG) can provide information about tissue perfusion and has already been studied in oncologic, reconstructive, and cardiac surgery. For patients with PAD, this technique might give insight into skin perfusion and thereb... Abstract

European radiology experimental, Volume 3, Issue 1, 20 3 2019, Pages 24 The effects of age at correction of aortic coarctation and recurrent obstruction on adolescent patients: MRI evaluation of wall shear stress and pulse wave velocity. Juffermans JF, Nederend I, van den Boogaard PJ, Ten Harkel ADJ, Hazekamp MG, Lamb HJ, Roest AAW, Westenberg JJM
Background: Coarctation patients before curative reconstruction are exposed to abnormal flow patterns which potentially could cause wall deterioration. This study evaluated the effect of age at correction on the pulse wave velocity (PWV) and peak wall shear stress (WSS) in adolescent patients with corrected coarctation. Effects of valve morphology and presence of reobstruction were also evaluated. Methods: Twenty-one patients aged 13.7 ± 2.6 years (mean ± standard deviation) were included (bicus... Abstract

PloS one, Volume 14, Issue 6, 14 2 2019, Pages e0217582 Hypercholesterolemia affects cardiac function, infarct size and inflammation in APOE*3-Leiden mice following myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury. Pluijmert NJ, den Haan MC, van Zuylen VL, Steendijk P, de Boer HC, van Zonneveld AJ, Fibbe WE, Schalij MJ, Quax PHA, Atsma DE
Background: Hypercholesterolemia is a major risk factor for ischemic heart disease including acute myocardial infarction. However, long-term effects of hypercholesterolemia in a rodent myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury model are unknown. Therefore, the effects of diet-induced hypercholesterolemia on cardiac function and remodeling were investigated up to eight weeks after myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (MI-R) injury which was induced in either normocholesterolemic (NC-MI) or hypercholester...

Frontiers in cardiovascular medicine, Volume 6, 13 2 2019, Pages 77 CD8+ T Cells Protect During Vein Graft Disease Development. Simons KH, de Vries MR, Peters HAB, Jukema JW, Quax PHA, Arens R
Aims: Vein grafts are frequently used conduits for arterial reconstruction in patients with cardiovascular disease. Unfortunately, vein graft disease (VGD) causes diminished patency rates. Innate immune system components are known to contribute to VGD. However, the role of T cells has yet to be established. The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of T cells and T cell activation pathways via the T cell receptor (TCR), co-stimulation and bystander effect in VGD. Methods and results:...

Epigenetics & chromatin, Volume 12, Issue 1, 6 1 2019, Pages 34 Human monocyte-to-macrophage differentiation involves highly localized gain and loss of DNA methylation at transcription factor binding sites. Dekkers KF, Neele AE, Jukema JW, Heijmans BT, de Winther MPJ
Background: Macrophages and their precursors monocytes play a key role in inflammation and chronic inflammatory disorders. Monocyte-to-macrophage differentiation and activation programs are accompanied by significant epigenetic remodeling where DNA methylation associates with cell identity. Here we show that DNA methylation changes characteristic for monocyte-to-macrophage differentiation occur at transcription factor binding sites, and, in contrast to what was previously described, are generall...
