Application and comparison of the FADES, MADIT, and SHFM-D risk models for risk stratification of prophylactic implantable cardioverter-defibrillator treatment.
van der Heijden AC, van Rees JB, Levy WC, van der Bom JG, Cannegieter SC, de Bie MK, van Erven L, Schalij MJ, Borleffs CJ
Aims: Implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) treatment is beneficial in selected patients. However, it remains difficult to accurately predict which patients benefit most from ICD implantation. For this purpose, different risk models have been developed. The aim was to validate and compare the FADES, MADIT, and SHFM-D models. Methods and results: All patients receiving a prophylactic ICD at the Leiden University Medical Center were evaluated. Individual model performance was evaluated by C...

Background: Increased heart rate and a prolonged QT interval are important risk factors for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, and can be influenced by the use of various medications, including tricyclic/tetracyclic antidepressants (TCAs). We aim to identify genetic loci that modify the association between TCA use and RR and QT intervals. Methods and results: We conducted race/ethnic-specific genome-wide interaction analyses (with HapMap phase II imputed reference panel imputation) of TCAs...

Ablation of Ventricular Tachycardia in Congenital and Infiltrative Heart Disease.
Wijnmaalen AP, Zeppenfeld K
Radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) is an important treatment modality to prevent ventricular tachycardia (VT) recurrence in patients with repaired congenital heart disease. Identification and ablation of anatomic isthmuses has improved acute ablation outcome with excellent VT-free survival in those with preserved biventricular function. Reports on RFCA for VT in patients with infiltrative disease are sparse and cardiac sarcoidosis seems to be the most prevalent cause for ventricular arrhyth...

Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have identified loci for erythrocyte traits in primarily European ancestry populations. We conducted GWAS meta-analyses of six erythrocyte traits in 71,638 individuals from European, East Asian, and African ancestries using a Bayesian approach to account for heterogeneity in allelic effects and variation in the structure of linkage disequilibrium between ethnicities. We identified seven loci for erythrocyte traits including a locus (RBPMS/GTF2E2) associate...

Complement receptor 1 gene polymorphisms are associated with cardiovascular risk.
de Vries MA, Trompet S, Mooijaart SP, Smit RA, Böhringer S, Castro Cabezas M, Jukema JW
Background and aims: Inflammation plays a key role in atherosclerosis. The complement system is involved in atherogenesis, and the complement receptor 1 (CR1) plays a role facilitating the clearance of immune complexes from the circulation. Limited evidence suggests that CR1 may be involved in cardiovascular disease. We investigated the relationship between CR1 gene polymorphisms and cardiovascular risk. Methods: Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within the CR1 region (n = 73) on chromosome...

The Effects of Spacing, Naps, and Fatigue on the Acquisition and Retention of Laparoscopic Skills.
Spruit EN, Band GPH, van der Heijden KB, Hamming JF
Background: Earlier research has shown that laparoscopic skills are trained more efficiently on a spaced schedule compared to a massed schedule. The aim of the study was to estimate to what extent the spacing interval, naps, and fatigue influenced the effectiveness of spacing laparoscopy training. Methods: Overall 4 groups of trainees (aged 17-41y; 72% female; Nmassed = 40; Nbreak = 35; Nbreak-nap = 37; Nspaced = 37) without prior experience were trained in 3 laparoscopic tasks using a physical...

Background: Coronary CT angiography (CTA) is a reliable tool for the detection of coronary artery disease (CAD) that conveys significant prognostic information. It does not provide data on the hemodynamic significance of a given lesion, particularly in intermediate-grade stenosis. Fractional flow reserve by CT (FFRCT) can accurately predict the hemodynamic significance of coronary lesions. The primary objective of this registry is to determine whether the integration of FFRCT as an adjunct to co...

Sulfonylureas, a commonly used class of medication used to treat type 2 diabetes, have been associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Their effects on QT interval duration and related electrocardiographic phenotypes are potential mechanisms for this adverse effect. In 11 ethnically diverse cohorts that included 71 857 European, African-American and Hispanic/Latino ancestry individuals with repeated measures of medication use and electrocardiogram (ECG) measurements, we conduct...

Optimal surgical mitral valve repair in Barlow's disease: the concept of functional prolapse.
Klautz RJ, Tomšič A, Palmen M, van Brakel TJ, Perier P
Barlow's disease presents the most severe form of degenerative mitral valve disease as it normally affects various valvular structures and segments. We discuss the technical aspects of mitral valve repair in this setting. Furthermore, the concept of "functional prolapse" of the mitral valve is discussed as well as recommendations on when to proceed with surgical correction of anterior leaflet prolapse.

Genetic causes of many familial arrhythmia syndromes remain elusive. In this study, whole-exome sequencing (WES) was carried out on patients from three different families that presented with life-threatening arrhythmias and high risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD). Two French Canadian probands carried identical homozygous rare variant in TECRL gene (p.Arg196Gln), which encodes the trans-2,3-enoyl-CoA reductase-like protein. Both patients had cardiac arrest, stress-induced atrial and ventricular t...

Modeling the Human Scarred Heart In Vitro: Toward New Tissue Engineered Models.

Cardiac remodeling is critical for effective tissue healing, however, excessive production and deposition of extracellular matrix components contribute to scarring and failing of the heart. Despite the fact that novel therapies have emerged, there are still no lifelong solutions for this problem. An urgent need exists to improve the understanding of adverse cardiac remodeling in order to develop new therapeutic interventions that will prevent, reverse, or regenerate the fibrotic changes in the f...

Prognostic Impact of the Timing of Recurrence of Infarct-Related Ventricular Tachycardia After Catheter Ablation.
Siontis KC, Kim HM, Stevenson WG, Fujii A, Bella PD, Vergara P, Shivkumar K, Tung R, Do DH, Daoud EG, Okabe T, Zeppenfeld K, Riva Silva M, Hindricks G, Arya A, Weber A, Kuck KH, Metzner A, Mathew S, Riedl J, Yokokawa M, Jongnarangsin K, Latchamsetty R, Morady F, Bogun FM
Background: Recurrence of ventricular tachycardia (VT) after ablation in patients with previous myocardial infarction is associated with adverse prognosis. However, the impact of the timing of VT recurrence on outcomes is unclear. Methods and results: We analyzed data from a multicenter collaborative database of patients who underwent catheter ablation for infarct-related VT. Multivariable Cox regression analyses investigated the effect of the timing of VT recurrence on the composite outcome of...
