Genetic inflammatory factors predict restenosis after percutaneous coronary interventions.
Monraats PS, Pires NM, Agema WR, Zwinderman AH, Schepers A, de Maat MP, Doevendans PA, de Winter RJ, Tio RA, Waltenberger J, Frants RR, Quax PH, van Vlijmen BJ, Atsma DE, van der Laarse A, van der Wall EE, Jukema JW
Background: Restenosis is a negative effect of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). No clinical factors are available that allow good risk stratification. However, evidence exists that genetic factors are important in the restenotic process as well as in the process of inflammation, a pivotal factor in restenosis. Association studies have identified genes that may predispose to restenosis, but confirmation by large prospective studies is lacking. Our aim was to identify polymorphisms and ha...

Validation of ECG indices of ventricular repolarization heterogeneity: a computer simulation study.
Van Huysduynen BH, Swenne CA, Draisma HH, Antoni ML, Van De Vooren H, Van Der Wall EE, Schalij MJ
Introduction: Repolarization heterogeneity (RH) is functionally linked to dispersion in refractoriness and to arrhythmogenicity. In the current study, we validate several proposed electrocardiogram (ECG) indices for RH: T-wave amplitude, -area, -complexity, and -symmetry ratio, QT dispersion, and the Tapex-end interval (the latter being an index of transmural dispersion of the repolarization (TDR)). Methods and results: We used ECGSIM, a mathematical simulation model of ECG genesis in a human th...

Left ventricular reverse remodeling but not clinical improvement predicts long-term survival after cardiac resynchronization therapy.
Yu CM, Bleeker GB, Fung JW, Schalij MJ, Zhang Q, van der Wall EE, Chan YS, Kong SL, Bax JJ
Background: In patients with severe heart failure and dilated cardiomyopathy, cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) improves left ventricular (LV) systolic function associated with LV reverse remodeling and favorable 1-year survival. However, it is unknown whether LV reverse remodeling translates into a better long-term prognosis and what extent of reverse remodeling is clinically relevant, which were investigated in this study. Methods and results: Patients (n=141) with advanced heart failure...

Local perivascular delivery of anti-restenotic agents from a drug-eluting poly(epsilon-caprolactone) stent cuff.
Pires NM, van der Hoeven BL, de Vries MR, Havekes LM, van Vlijmen BJ, Hennink WE, Quax PH, Jukema JW
The introduction of drug-eluting stents (DES) to prevent in-stent restenosis is one of the major advances in interventional cardiology. Currently many types of DES are under evaluation for effectiveness and safety, a time-consuming and difficult procedure in humans. An animal model that allows rapid evaluation of the present and upcoming therapeutic approaches to prevent in-stent restenosis is most valuable and still lacking. Here, a perivascular cuff to induce restenosis was constructed of a po...

[Retroperitoneal haematoma seen on CT scan in 2 patients with abdominal symptoms, aneurysm of the abdominal aorta and normal haemodynamics].
van der Laan L, Nagel PH, Lohle PN, van Berge Henegouwen DP, Hamming JF
In 2 patients, men aged 73 and 66 undergoing physical and ultrasound examinations for complaints of abdominal pain, an aneurysm of the abdominal aorta (AAA) with a diameter of 7-8 cm was discovered. Both their blood pressure and heart rate were normal. The older man then underwent a CT scan as did the younger man after being observed overnight. They both proved to have a ruptured AAA. They were operated on and recovered well. It can be problematic to diagnose a ruptured AAA quickly in patients w...

The use of stress echocardiography for prognostication in coronary artery disease: an overview.
Biagini E, Elhendy A, Bax JJ, Schinkel AF, Poldermans D
Purpose of review: Stress echocardiography has a high accuracy for the detection of coronary artery disease. Additionally, it provides clinically useful prognostic information, such as resting left ventricular function, myocardial viability, stress-induced ischemia, vascular extent of wall motion abnormalities, and changes in end-systolic volume and ejection fraction with stress. Recent developments: The timing, extent, and severity of the stress-induced wall motion abnormalities are important d...
