Troponin I levels in systemic sclerosis patients with myocardial involvement.
Hoekstra EM, Liem SI, Ahmed S, Levarht N, Fehres CM, Giuca A, Ajmone Marsan N, Huizinga TW, de Vries-Bouwstra JK
Objectives: Troponin I has been suggested as a more specific diagnostic biomarker for myocardial involvement in systemic sclerosis than the frequently used troponin T. The aim of this study is to evaluate the additive value of troponin I to detect myocardial involvement in systemic sclerosis. To this end, we evaluated the association between troponin I levels and myocardial involvement in systemic sclerosis patients. Methods: A cross-sectional observational study was performed, including 20 heal...

The potential benefit of statin prescription based on prediction of treatment responsiveness in older individuals: an application to the PROSPER randomized controlled trial.
Nguyen TL, Trompet S, Brodersen JB, Hoogland J, Debray TPA, Sattar N, Jukema JW, Westendorp RGJ
Aims: Clinical guidelines often recommend treating individuals based on their cardiovascular risk. We revisit this paradigm and quantify the efficacy of three treatment strategies: (i) overall prescription, i.e. treatment to all individuals sharing the eligibility criteria of a trial; (ii) risk-stratified prescription, i.e. treatment only to those at an elevated outcome risk; and (iii) prescription based on predicted treatment responsiveness. Methods and results: We reanalysed the PROSPER random...

Three-dimensional cardiac magnetic resonance allows the identification of slow-conducting anatomical isthmuses in tetralogy of Fallot.
Kimura Y, Wallet J, Bouyer B, Jongbloed MRM, Bertels R, Hazekamp MG, Thambo JB, Iriart X, Cochet H, Sacher F, Lamb HJ, Blom NA, Zeppenfeld K
Background and aims: Patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot remain at risk of life-threatening ventricular tachycardia related to slow-conducting anatomical isthmuses (SCAIs). Preventive ablation of SCAI identified by invasive electroanatomical mapping is increasingly performed. This study aimed to non-invasively identify SCAI using 3D late gadolinium enhancement cardiac magnetic resonance (3D-LGE-CMR). Methods: Consecutive tetralogy of Fallot patients who underwent right ventricular electro...

Objective: To identify genetic risk factors for incident cardiovascular disease (CVD) among people with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Research design and methods: We conducted a multiancestry time-to-event genome-wide association study for incident CVD among people with T2D. We also tested 204 known coronary artery disease (CAD) variants for association with incident CVD. Results: Among 49,230 participants with T2D, 8,956 had incident CVD events (event rate 18.2%). We identified three novel genetic loc...

Participatory Development of an Integrated, eHealth-Supported, Educational Care Pathway (Diabetes Box) for People With Type 2 Diabetes: Development and Usability Study.
de Frel DL, Schroijen MA, Aardoom JJ, van Gils W, Huisman SD, Janssen VR, Versluis A, Kleinsmann MS, Atsma DE, Pijl H
Background: Type 2 diabetes (T2D) tremendously affects patient health and health care globally. Changing lifestyle behaviors can help curb the burden of T2D. However, health behavior change is a complex interplay of medical, behavioral, and psychological factors. Personalized lifestyle advice and promotion of self-management can help patients change their health behavior and improve glucose regulation. Digital tools are effective in areas of self-management and have great potential to support pa...

Understanding the Remarkable Stability of Well-Defined Dinuclear Copper(I) Carbene Complexes.
Bienenmann RLM, de Vries MR, Lutz M, Broere DLJ
The synthesis of a well-defined dicopper carbene complex supported by the PNNP (2,7-bis(di-tert-butylphosphaneyl)methyl-1,8-naphthyridine) expanded pincer ligand is reported. This carbene complex is remarkably stable, even in the presence of air and water. The reactivity of this complex was explored towards typical carbene transfer substrates and its electronic structure was investigated. Using a combination of experiments and DFT calculations, the principles that underly the stability of dinucl...

Aims: Interatrial shunts are under evaluation as a treatment for heart failure (HF); however, their in vivo flow performance has not been quantitatively studied. We aimed to investigate the fluid dynamics properties of the 0.51 cm orifice diameter Ventura shunt and assess its lumen integrity with serial transesophageal echocardiography (TEE). Methods and results: Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and bench flow tests were used to establish the flow-pressure relationship of the shunt. Open-label...

Background: Functional mitral regurgitation induces adverse effects on the left ventricle and the left atrium. Left atrial (LA) dilatation and reduced LA strain are associated with poor outcomes in heart failure (HF). Transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) of the mitral valve reduces heart failure hospitalization (HFH) and all-cause death in selected HF patients. Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of LA strain improvement 6 months after TEER on the outcomes of patient...

Jahanyar J, Said SM, de Kerchove L, Lorenz V, de Beco G, Aphram G, Muñoz DE, Mastrobuoni S, Pettinari M, Arabkhani B, El Khoury G
The introduction of the Y(ang)-technique for aortic root enlargement has sparked a renewed interest in annular and root enlargement procedures world-wide. In order to execute these procedures proficiently however, it's important to understand the complex three-dimensional structure of the aortic root and left ventricular outflow tract, and also be familiar with the different enlargement techniques. Herein, we are providing a description of the aortic root anatomy and the most commonly utili...

Many shark populations are in decline around the world, with severe ecological and economic consequences. Fisheries management and marine protected areas (MPAs) have both been heralded as solutions. However, the effectiveness of MPAs alone is questionable, particularly for globally threatened sharks and rays ('elasmobranchs'), with little known about how fisheries management and MPAs interact to conserve these species. Here we use a dedicated global survey of coral reef elasmobranchs t...

Background: The safety profile of transcatheter tricuspid valve (TTV) repair techniques is well established, but residual tricuspid regurgitation (TR) remains a concern. Objectives: The authors sought to assess the impact of residual TR severity post-TTV repair on survival. Methods: We evaluated the survival rate at 2 years of 613 patients with severe isolated functional TR who underwent TTV repair in TRIGISTRY according to the severity of residual TR at discharge using a 3-grade (mild, moderate...

Introduction: An accurate assessment of balance problems is critical for decreasing the risk of falling in patients with Parkinson's Disease (PD). Reliable diagnostic tools such as Computerized Dynamic Posturography (CDP) are not feasible for the clinical setting. Therefore, the present study's aim was to assess the correlation between the clinical Balance Evaluation Systems Test (BESTest) and CDP. Methods: 20 male older adults with Parkinson's Disease (PD) were included in this s...
