Entropy as a Novel Measure of Myocardial Tissue Heterogeneity for Prediction of Ventricular Arrhythmias and Mortality in Post-Infarct Patients.
Androulakis AFA, Zeppenfeld K, Paiman EHM, Piers SRD, Wijnmaalen AP, Siebelink HJ, Sramko M, Lamb HJ, van der Geest RJ, de Riva M, Tao Q
Objectives: This study proposed entropy as a new late gadolinium enhanced cardiac magnetic resonance-derived parameter to evaluate tissue inhomogeneity, independent of signal intensity thresholds. This study hypothesized that entropy within the scar is associated with ventricular arrhythmias (VAs), whereas entropy of the entire left ventricular (LV) myocardium is associated with mortality. Background: In patients after myocardial infarction, the heterogeneity of fibrosis determines the substrate...

The APOE<sup>∗</sup>3-Leiden Heterozygous Glucokinase Knockout Mouse as Novel Translational Disease Model for Type 2 Diabetes, Dyslipidemia, and Diabetic Atherosclerosis.
Pouwer MG, Heinonen SE, Behrendt M, Andréasson AC, van Koppen A, Menke AL, Pieterman EJ, van den Hoek AM, Jukema JW, Leighton B, Jönsson-Rylander AC, Princen HMG
Background: There is a lack of predictive preclinical animal models combining atherosclerosis and type 2 diabetes. APOE∗3-Leiden (E3L) mice are a well-established model for diet-induced hyperlipidemia and atherosclerosis, and glucokinase+/- (GK+/-) mice are a translatable disease model for glucose control in type 2 diabetes. The respective mice respond similarly to lipid-lowering and antidiabetic drugs as humans. The objective of this study was to evaluate/characterize the APOE∗3-Leiden.glucokin...

Percutaneous Decannulation of Femoral Venoarterial ECMO Cannulas Using MANTA Vascular Closure Device.
Montero-Cabezas JM, van der Meer RW, van der Kley F, Elzo Kraemer CV, López Matta JE, Schalij MJ, de Weger A
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has been increasingly used in the treatment of refractory cardiac arrest and postarrest cardiogenic shock. We propose a technique for percutaneous decannulation of femoral venoarterial ECMO cannulas by using the MANTA vascular closure device, designed to close large-bore arteriotomies. This technique significantly simplifies the decannulation and might diminish the potential complications caused by the standard surgical removal.

Plasma LDL-Cholesterol Level at Admission is Independently Associated with Infarct Size in Patients with ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction Treated with Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention.
Bodde MC, Hermans MPJ, Wolterbeek R, Cobbaert CM, van der Laarse A, Schalij MJ, Jukema JW
Introduction: Hypercholesterolemia is a well-known risk factor for developing atherosclerosis and subsequently for the risk of a myocardial infarction (MI). Moreover, it might also be related to the extent of damaged myocardium in the event of a MI. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association of baseline low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-c) level with infarct size in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) after primary percutaneously coronary interventi...

Lee JH, Rizvi A, Hartaigh BÓ, Han D, Park MW, Roudsari HM, Stuijfzand WJ, Gransar H, Lu Y, Callister TQ, Berman DS, DeLago A, Hadamitzky M, Hausleiter J, Al-Mallah MH, Budoff MJ, Kaufmann PA, Raff GL, Chinnaiyan K, Cademartiri F, Maffei E, Villines TC, Kim YJ, Leipsic J, Feuchtner G, Pontone G, Andreini D, Marques H, de Araújo Gonçalves P, Rubinshtein R, Achenbach S, Shaw LJ, Chow BJW, Cury RC, Bax JJ, Chang HJ, Jones EC, Lin FY, Min JK, Peña JM
The prognostic performance of coronary artery calcium score (CACS) for predicting adverse outcomes in patients with decreased renal function remains unclear. We aimed to examine whether CACS improves risk stratification by demonstrating incremental value beyond a traditional risk score according to renal function status. 9,563 individuals without known coronary artery disease were enrolled. Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR, ml/min/1.73 m2) was ascertained using the modified Modificatio...

Parathyroidectomy versus cinacalcet for tertiary hyperparathyroidism; a retrospective analysis.
Dulfer RR, Koh EY, van der Plas WY, Engelsman AF, van Dijkum EJMN, Pol RA, Vogt L, de Borst MH, Kruijff S, Schepers A, Appelman-Dijkstra NM, Rotmans JI, Hesselink DA, van Eijck CHJ, Hoorn EJ, van Ginhoven TM, Dutch Hyperparathyroid Study Group
Introduction: Tertiary hyperparathyroidism (tHPT), i.e., persistent HPT after kidney transplantation, affects 17-50% of transplant recipients. Treatment of tHPT is mandatory since persistently elevated PTH concentrations after KTx increase the risk of renal allograft dysfunction and osteoporosis. The introduction of cinacalcet in 2004 seemed to offer a medical treatment alternative to parathyroidectomy (PTx). However, the optimal management of tHPT remains unclear. Methods: A retrospective analy...

Putting post-decision wagering to the test: a measure of self-perceived knowledge in basic sciences?
Versteeg M, Steendijk P
Introduction: Students learn more effectively when they know what they do not know. Gaining insight into students' metacognitive awareness is needed as misalignment between actual and self-perceived knowledge impedes their learning process. The optimal method of measuring self-perceived knowledge is still under debate. In this study, we evaluate the use of psychology-derived post-decision wagering for mapping students self-perceived knowledge. Methods: Students (n = 71) performed a pre-test...

Transcatheter heart valve interventions: where are we? Where are we going?
Prendergast BD, Baumgartner H, Delgado V, Gérard O, Haude M, Himmelmann A, Iung B, Leafstedt M, Lennartz J, Maisano F, Marinelli EA, Modine T, Mueller M, Redwood SR, Rörick O, Sahyoun C, Saillant E, Søndergaard L, Thoenes M, Thomitzek K, Tschernich M, Vahanian A, Wendler O, Zemke EJ, Bax JJ
Transcatheter heart valve interventions have transformed the outcomes of patients with valvular heart disease (VHD) who are unfavourable candidates for surgery. Technological advances have allowed extension of these interventions to younger or lower risk patients and those with other forms of VHD and may in the future permit earlier treatment of VHD in less symptomatic patients or those with moderate disease. The balance of risks and benefits is likely to differ between lower and higher risk pat...

An automated hybrid bioelectronic system for autogenous restoration of sinus rhythm in atrial fibrillation.
Nyns ECA, Poelma RH, Volkers L, Plomp JJ, Bart CI, Kip AM, van Brakel TJ, Zeppenfeld K, Schalij MJ, Zhang GQ, de Vries AAF, Pijnappels DA
Because of suboptimal therapeutic strategies, restoration of sinus rhythm in symptomatic atrial fibrillation (AF) often requires in-hospital delivery of high-voltage shocks, thereby precluding ambulatory AF termination. Continuous, rapid restoration of sinus rhythm is desired given the recurring and progressive nature of AF. Here, we present an automated hybrid bioelectronic system for shock-free termination of AF that enables the heart to act as an electric current generator for autogenous rest...
