Sex differences in prognosis of significant secondary mitral regurgitation.
Namazi F, van der Bijl P, Vo NM, van Wijngaarden SE, Ajmone Marsan N, Delgado V, Bax JJ
Aims: Secondary mitral regurgitation (MR) is more frequent in men than in women. However, little is known about differences in prognosis between men and women with secondary MR. The objective of this study is to investigate the sex distribution of secondary MR and the prognostic differences between sexes. Methods: Patients with significant secondary MR, of both ischaemic and non-ischaemic aetiologies, were identified through the departmental electronic patient files and retrospectively analysed....

Changes in Global Left Ventricular Myocardial Work Indices and Stunning Detection 3 Months After ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction.
Lustosa RP, Fortuni F, van der Bijl P, Mahdiui ME, Montero-Cabezas JM, Kostyukevich MV, Knuuti J, Marsan NA, Delgado V, Bax JJ
Global left ventricular (LV) myocardial work (MW) indices (GLVMWI) are derived from speckle tracking echocardiographic strain data in combination with non-invasive blood pressure measurements. Changes in global work index (GWI), global constructive work (GCW), global wasted work (GWW) and global work efficiency (GWE) after ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) have not been explored. The aim of present study was to assess the evolution of GLVMWI in STEMI patients from baseline (inde...

The Influence of Respiration on Blood Flow in the Fontan Circulation: Insights for Imaging-Based Clinical Evaluation of the Total Cavopulmonary Connection.
van der Woude SFS, Rijnberg FM, Hazekamp MG, Jongbloed MRM, Kenjeres S, Lamb HJ, Westenberg JJM, Roest AAW, Wentzel JJ
Congenital heart disease is the most common birth defect and functionally univentricular heart defects represent the most severe end of this spectrum. The Fontan circulation provides an unique solution for single ventricle patients, by connecting both caval veins directly to the pulmonary arteries. As a result, the pulmonary circulation in Fontan palliated patients is characterized by a passive, low-energy circulation that depends on increased systemic venous pressure to drive blood toward the l...

Droplet digital RT-PCR to detect SARS-CoV-2 signature mutations of variants of concern in wastewater.
Heijnen L, Elsinga G, de Graaf M, Molenkamp R, Koopmans MPG, Medema G
Wastewater surveillance has shown to be a valuable and efficient tool to obtain information about the trends of COVID-19 in the community. Since the recent emergence of new variants, associated with increased transmissibility and/or antibody escape (variants of concern), there is an urgent need for methods that enable specific and timely detection and quantification of the occurrence of these variants in the community. In this study, we demonstrate the use of RT-ddPCR on wastewater samples for s...

Applicability of the Leiden Convention and the Lipton Classification in Patients with a Single Coronary Artery in the Setting of Congenital Heart Disease.
Katekaru-Tokeshi DI, Jiménez-Santos M, Koppel CJ, Vliegen HW, Díaz-Zamudio M, Castillo-Castellón F, Jongbloed MRM, Kimura-Hayama E
In single coronary artery (SCA) anatomy, all coronary tributaries arise from a single ostium, providing perfusion to the entire myocardium. Coronary classification systems can facilitate the description of SCA anatomy. Aim: Evaluation of the applicability of Lipton classification and the Leiden Convention coronary coding system in SCA. Methods: All patients (n = 6209) who underwent computed tomography (CT) scanning between 2014 and 2018 were retrospectively examined for the presence of SCA and c...

Lipoprotein(a) and Benefit of PCSK9 Inhibition in Patients With Nominally Controlled LDL Cholesterol.
Schwartz GG, Szarek M, Bittner VA, Diaz R, Goodman SG, Jukema JW, Landmesser U, López-Jaramillo P, Manvelian G, Pordy R, Scemama M, Sinnaeve PR, White HD, Gabriel Steg P, ODYSSEY Outcomes Committees and Investigators
Background: Guidelines recommend nonstatin lipid-lowering agents in patients at very high risk for major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) if low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) remains ≥70 mg/dL on maximum tolerated statin treatment. It is uncertain if this approach benefits patients with LDL-C near 70 mg/dL. Lipoprotein(a) levels may influence residual risk. Objectives: In a post hoc analysis of the ODYSSEY Outcomes (Evaluation of Cardiovascular Outcomes After an Acute Coronary Synd...

Myocardial calcification is associated with endocardial ablation failure of post-myocardial infarction ventricular tachycardia.
de Riva M, Naruse Y, Ebert M, Watanabe M, Scholte AJ, Wijnmaalen AP, Trines SA, Schalij MJ, Montero-Cabezas JM, Zeppenfeld K
Aims: In patients with post-myocardial infarction (post-MI) ventricular tachycardia (VT), the presence of myocardial calcification (MC) may prevent heating of a subepicardial VT substrate contributing to endocardial ablation failure. The aims of this study were to assess the prevalence of MC in patients with post-MI VT and evaluate the impact of MC on outcome after endocardial ablation. Methods and results: In 158 patients, the presence of MC was retrospectively assessed on fluoroscopy recording...

Coronary Computed Tomographic Angiography for Complete Assessment of Coronary Artery Disease: JACC State-of-the-Art Review.
Serruys PW, Hara H, Garg S, Kawashima H, Nørgaard BL, Dweck MR, Bax JJ, Knuuti J, Nieman K, Leipsic JA, Mushtaq S, Andreini D, Onuma Y
Coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA) has shown great technological improvements over the last 2 decades. High accuracy of CTA in detecting significant coronary stenosis has promoted CTA as a substitute for conventional invasive coronary angiography in patients with suspected coronary artery disease. In patients with coronary stenosis, CTA-derived physiological assessment is surrogate for intracoronary pressure and velocity wires, and renders possible decision-making about revasculariza...

A modified surgical technique for aortopexy in tracheobronchomalacia.
Dolmaci OB, Fockens MM, Oomen MW, van Woensel JB, Hoekstra CEL, Koolbergen DR
Objectives: Tracheobronchomalacia (TBM) is characterized by collapse of trachea, bronchi or both, leading to dyspnoea, expiratory stridor, coughing or recurrent airway infections. Surgical treatment with aortopexy is warranted for severe TBM. We describe a modified aortopexy technique with aortic wall strap sutures that evenly distributes the traction force over the full width of the aortic arch. The aim of this study was to determine the outcomes of this modified anterior aortopexy technique. M...

Prevalence and Long-term Outcomes of Patients with Coronary Artery Ectasia Presenting with Acute Myocardial Infarction.
Wang X, Montero-Cabezas JM, Mandurino-Mirizzi A, Hirasawa K, Ajmone Marsan N, Knuuti J, Bax JJ, Delgado V
Coronary artery ectasia (CAE) is described in 5% of patients undergoing coronary angiography. Previous studies have shown controversial results regarding the prognostic impact of CAE. The prevalence and prognostic value of CAE in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) remain unknown. In 4788 patients presenting with AMI referred for coronary angiography the presence of CAE (defined as dilation of a coronary segment with a diameter ≥1.5 times of the adjacent normal segment) was confirmed...
