Circulation, Volume 140, Issue 2, 23 4 2019, Pages 103-112 Effect of Alirocumab on Mortality After Acute Coronary Syndromes. Steg PG, Szarek M, Bhatt DL, Bittner VA, Brégeault MF, Dalby AJ, Diaz R, Edelberg JM, Goodman SG, Hanotin C, Harrington RA, Jukema JW, Lecorps G, Mahaffey KW, Moryusef A, Ostadal P, Parkhomenko A, Pordy R, Roe MT, Tricoci P, Vogel R, White HD, Zeiher AM, Schwartz GG
Background: Previous trials of PCSK9 (proprotein convertase subtilisin-kexin type 9) inhibitors demonstrated reductions in major adverse cardiovascular events, but not death. We assessed the effects of alirocumab on death after index acute coronary syndrome. Methods: ODYSSEY OUTCOMES (Evaluation of Cardiovascular Outcomes After an Acute Coronary Syndrome During Treatment With Alirocumab) was a double-blind, randomized comparison of alirocumab or placebo in 18 924 patients who had an ACS 1 to 12...

Journal of cardiovascular magnetic resonance : official journal of the Society for Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance, Volume 21, Issue 1, 16 3 2019, Pages 28 Association of cardiovascular magnetic resonance-derived circumferential strain parameters with the risk of ventricular arrhythmia and all-cause mortality in patients with prior myocardial infarction and primary prevention implantable cardioverter defibrillator. Paiman EHM, Androulakis AFA, Shahzad R, Tao Q, Zeppenfeld K, Lamb HJ, van der Geest RJ
Background: Impaired left ventricular (LV) contraction and relaxation may further promote adverse remodeling and may increase the risk of ventricular arrhythmia (VA) in ischemic cardiomyopathy. We aimed to examine the association of cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR)-derived circumferential strain parameters for LV regional systolic function, LV diastolic function and mechanical dispersion with the risk of VA in patients with prior myocardial infarction and primary prevention implantable ca...

JACC. Cardiovascular imaging, Volume 13, Issue 1 Pt 1, 15 3 2019, Pages 124-139 Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement: Role of Multimodality Imaging in Common and Complex Clinical Scenarios. Bax JJ, Delgado V, Hahn RT, Leipsic J, Min JK, Grayburn P, Sondergaard L, Yoon SH, Windecker S
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is an established therapy for patients with symptomatic severe aortic stenosis. Technological advances and the learning curve have resulted in better procedural results in terms of hemodynamic valve performance and intermediate-term clinical outcomes. The integration of anatomical and functional information provided by multimodality imaging has improved size selection of TAVR prostheses, permitted better patient selection, and provided new insights i...

Current cardiovascular imaging reports, Volume 12, Issue 6, 14 2 2019, Pages 24 Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography as a Gatekeeper to Coronary Revascularization: Emphasizing Atherosclerosis Findings Beyond Stenosis. van den Hoogen IJ, van Rosendael AR, Lin FY, Bax JJ, Shaw LJ, Min JK
Purpose of review: Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) is the optimal non-invasive test to rule out coronary artery disease (CAD). Decisions to perform coronary revascularization have traditionally been based upon ischemia testing. This review summarizes the latest observations and trials evaluating the suitability of CCTA to select patients for invasive coronary angiography (ICA) and subsequent revascularization. Recent findings: Recent data shows that beyond stenosis, whole-heart q... Abstract

Background: Fibrinogen is an essential hemostatic factor and cardiovascular disease risk factor. Early attempts at evaluating the causal effect of fibrinogen on coronary heart disease (CHD) and myocardial infraction (MI) using Mendelian randomization (MR) used single variant approaches, and did not take advantage of recent genome-wide association studies (GWAS) or multi-variant, pleiotropy robust MR methodologies. Methods and findings: We evaluated evidence for a causal effect of fibrinogen on b... Abstract

Ventricular arrhythmias are an important cause of morbidity and mortality and come in a variety of forms, from single premature ventricular complexes to sustained ventricular tachycardia and fibrillation. Rapid developments have taken place over the past decade in our understanding of these arrhythmias and in our ability to diagnose and treat them. The field of catheter ablation has progressed with the development of new methods and tools, and with the publication of large clinical trials. There... Abstract

Background: To compare hospital outcomes of aortic aneurysm surgery, casemix correction for preoperative variables is essential. Most of these variables can be deduced from mortality risk prediction models. Our aim was to identify the optimal set of preoperative variables associated with mortality to establish a relevant and efficient casemix model. Methods: All patients prospectively registered between 2013 and 2016 in the Dutch Surgical Aneurysm Audit (DSAA) were included for the analysis. Aft... Abstract

Progress in cardiovascular diseases, Volume 62, Issue 3, 2 1 2019, Pages 205-211 Imaging for sudden cardiac death risk stratification: Current perspective and future directions. van der Bijl P, Delgado V, Bax JJ
Sudden cardiac death (SCD) accounts for one fifth of global deaths, and occurs when a trigger (e.g. myocardial ischemia, premature ventricular contraction) interacts with an arrhythmic substrate (e.g. myocardial scar, dilated cardiomyopathy). Multimodality imaging (echocardiographic, cardiac magnetic resonance and nuclear techniques) can potentially visualize many predisposing substrates and triggers. Implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) is the most effective approach to primary preventi... Abstract

Background Identifying associations between serum metabolites and visceral adipose tissue ( VAT ) could provide novel biomarkers of VAT and insights into the pathogenesis of obesity-related diseases. We aimed to discover and replicate metabolites reflecting pathways related to VAT . Methods and Results Associations between fasting serum metabolites and VAT area (by computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging) were assessed with cross-sectional linear regression of individual-level data fro...

The 2016 National Institute of Health and Care Excellence clinical guideline for the assessment and diagnosis of chest pain positions coronary computed tomography angiography as the first test for all stable chest pain patients without confirmed coronary artery disease and discards the previous emphasis on calculation of pre-test likelihood recommended in their 2012 edition of the guidelines.

Background: Lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)], a major carrier of oxidized phospholipids (OxPL), is associated with an increased incidence of aortic stenosis (AS). However, it remains unclear whether elevated Lp(a) and OxPL drive disease progression and are therefore targets for therapeutic intervention. Objectives: This study investigated whether Lp(a) and OxPL on apolipoprotein B-100 (OxPL-apoB) levels are associated with disease activity, disease progression, and clinical events in AS patients, along wi...

Cardiac fibroblasts play a key role in chronic heart failure. The conversion from cardiac fibroblast to myofibroblast as a result of cardiac injury, will lead to excessive matrix deposition and a perpetuation of pro-fibrotic signaling. Cardiac cell therapy for chronic heart failure may be able to target fibroblast behavior in a paracrine fashion. However, no reliable human fibrotic tissue model exists to evaluate this potential effect of cardiac cell therapy. Using a gelatin methacryloyl hydroge... Abstract
