The first experience with sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor for the treatment of systemic right ventricular failure.
Egorova AD, Nederend M, Tops LF, Vliegen HW, Jongbloed MRM, Kiès P
In congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries, the morphological right ventricle supports the systemic circulation. This chronic exposure to pressure overload ultimately leads to systemic right ventricular (sRV) dysfunction and heart failure. Pharmacological options for the treatment of sRV failure are poorly defined and no solid recommendations are made in the most recent guidelines. Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors are a new class of antihyperglycaemic drugs t...

Min JK, Chang HJ, Andreini D, Pontone G, Guglielmo M, Bax JJ, Knaapen P, Raman SV, Chazal RA, Freeman AM, Crabtree T, Earls JP
Background: Atherosclerotic plaque characterization by coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) enables quantification of coronary artery disease (CAD) burden and type, which has been demonstrated as the strongest discriminant of future risk of major adverse cardiac events (MACE). To date, there are no clinically useful thresholds to assist with understanding a patient's disease burden and guide diagnosis and management, as there exists with coronary artery calcium (CAC) scoring. The...

Transmural ischemia visualized using routine Chest CTA.
van Driest FY, Hertgers O, Scholte AJHA, Jukema JW, de Graaf MA
Chest computed tomography (CT) is not routinely used for the diagnosis of myocardial infarction. However, there have been some reports of patients undergoing chest CT for other indications in which ultimately MI was diagnosed due to the presence of areas of myocardial hypoperfusion. The authors present the case of a 60-years old male who is referred due to acute chest pain radiating between the scapulae. Thoracic computed tomography angiography to rule out an aortic dissection revealed an occlus...

Extracellular vesicles enriched with an endothelial cell pro-survival microRNA affects skin tissue regeneration.
Fernandes H, Zonnari A, Abreu R, Aday S, Barão M, Albino I, Lino M, Branco A, Seabra C, Barata T, Leal EC, Tralhão JG, Gonçalves L, de Jong A, Peters HAB, de Vries MR, da Costa Martins P, Quax PHA, Ferreira L
Endothelial cell (EC) activity is essential for tissue regeneration in several (patho)physiological contexts. However, our capacity to deliver in vivo biomolecules capable of controlling EC fate is relatively limited. Here, we screened a library of microRNA (miR) mimics and identified 25 miRs capable of enhancing the survival of ECs exposed to ischemia-mimicking conditions. In vitro, we showed that miR-425-5p, one of the hits, was able to enhance EC survival and migration. In vivo, using a mouse...

Neijenhuis LKA, de Myunck LDAN, Bijlstra OD, Kuppen PJK, Hilling DE, Borm FJ, Cohen D, Mieog JSD, Steup WH, Braun J, Burggraaf J, Vahrmeijer AL, Hutteman M
Lung cancer is the most common cancer type worldwide, with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) being the most common subtype. Non-disseminated NSCLC is mainly treated with surgical resection. The intraoperative detection of lung cancer can be challenging, since small and deeply located pulmonary nodules can be invisible under white light. Due to the increasing use of minimally invasive surgical techniques, tactile information is often reduced. Therefore, several intraoperative imaging techniques...

The Prognostic Value of Right Atrial and Right Ventricular Functional Parameters in Systemic Sclerosis.
Vos JL, Butcher SC, Fortuni F, Galloo X, Rodwell L, Vonk MC, Bax JJ, van Leuven SI, de Vries-Bouwstra JK, Snoeren M, El Messaoudi S, Marsan NA, Nijveldt R
Introduction: Right ventricular (RV) function is of particular importance in systemic sclerosis (SSc), since common SSc complications, such as interstitial lung disease and pulmonary hypertension may affect RV afterload. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is the gold standard for measuring RV function. CMR-derived RV and right atrial (RA) strain is a promising tool to detect subtle changes in RV function, and might have incremental value, however, prognostic data is lacking. Therefore, the...
