CIED-based remote monitoring in heart failure using the HeartLogic™ algorithm: Which patients benefit most?
van der Lande ACMH, Feijen M, Egorova AD, Beles M, van Bockstal K, Phagu AAS, Schalij MJ, Heggermont WA, Beeres SLMA
Background & aims: Early identification of worsening HF enables timely adjustments to prevent hospitalization. Recent studies show the HeartLogic™ algorithm detects congestion and reduces HF events. However, it is unclear which patients benefit most. Therefore, this study aims to identify and characterize HF patients who benefit most from CIED-based remote monitoring with HeartLogic™. Methods: In this multicenter retrospective study, patients with a CIED and HeartLogic™ algorithm under struc...

The prognostic value of changes in pulmonary vein flow patterns after surgical repair for primary mitral regurgitation.
Yedidya I, Stassen J, Butcher S, van Wijngaarden AL, Wu Y, van der Bijl P, Marsan NA, Delgado V, Bax J
Background: The pulmonary vein (PV) flow pattern is influenced by the presence of mitral regurgitation (MR). After a successful reduction in MR severity, the pattern is expected to be changed. We aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of a change in the PV flow pattern in patients with primary MR undergoing mitral valve repair (MVR). Methods: The PV flow pattern was assessed with transthoracic echocardiography in 216 patients (age 65 [IQR 56-72] years, 70% male) with primary MR before and after...

Meucci MC, Mantegazza V, Wu HW, van Wijngaarden AL, Garlaschè A, Tamborini G, Pepi M, Bax JJ, Ajmone Marsan N
Aims: This study aims to explore the presence of left ventricular (LV) and left atrial (LA) morphological and functional abnormalities in patients with Barlow's disease (BD) without significant mitral regurgitation (MR) and to investigate whether these abnormalities may predict MR progression. Methods and results: Consecutive patients with BD were retrospectively identified from two tertiary centres; those with MR graded from trivial to mild-to-moderate were selected and matched with health...

The TRAIN Health Awareness Clinical Trial: Baseline Findings and Cardiovascular Risk Management in Aortic Dissection Patients.
Bacour N, Grewal S, Tirpan AU, Theijse R, Erp OV, Klautz RJM, Sakalihasan N, Hultgren R, Grewal N
Acute Type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) is a life-threatening condition requiring timely surgical intervention. Despite successful surgery, postoperative outcomes are frequently suboptimal due to the high frequency of cardiovascular risk factors. This study examines baseline cardiovascular risk factors in a population of ATAAD patients in the Netherlands. Additionally, this study outlines the protocol for a randomized controlled trial, designed to improve postoperative management.Baseline data we...

Daily rhythms in metabolic and locomotor behaviour of prematurely ageing PolgA mice.
Singh A, Yilmaz D, Wehrle E, Kuhn GA, Müller R
Ageing is an inherent and intricate biological process that takes place in living organisms as time progresses. It involves the decline of multiple physiological functions, leading to body structure and overall performance modifications. The ageing process differs among individuals and is influenced by various factors, including lifestyle, environment and genetic makeup. Metabolic changes and reduced locomotor activity are common hallmarks of ageing. Our study focuses on exploring these phenomen...

The impact of statin use on sepsis mortality.
Li M, Noordam R, Trompet S, Winter EM, Jukema JW, Arbous MS, Rensen PCN, Kooijman S
Background: Statins exert pleiotropic anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects in addition to their cholesterol-lowering properties. This study aimed to investigate whether statin use is associated with improved outcomes of sepsis. Methods: Data from patients with sepsis were extracted from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care IV database. Patients with a history of receiving prescriptions for statins (i.e., atorvastatin, lovastatin, pitavastatin, pravastatin, rosuvastatin, or simvas...

Willems SA, Pruim JD, van der Vorst JR, van Schaik J, Schepers A, Hamming JF, Brouwers JJWM
Background: The accurate prediction of foot ulcer healing remains a major challenge in clinical practice. To date, no reliable bedside tests are available. The primary aim of this study was to determine the prognostic performance of the maximal systolic acceleration (ACCmax) to predict ulcer healing. Secondary objectives comprised the investigation of the prognostic accuracy in patients prone to medial arterial calcification and to assess the potential risk of amputation. Methods: A single-cente...

Intravascular lithotripsy for the treatment of peri-stent calcific lesions in saphenous vein grafts: A case series report.
Meijer M, Oliveri F, van Oort MJH, Bingen BO, van der Kley F, Jukema JW, Al Amri I, Montero-Cabezas JM
Background: Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is a cornerstone treatment for coronary artery disease, with the use of saphenous vein grafts (SVGs) being prevalent. However, SVGs are susceptible to high failure rates due to graft inflammation, intimal hyperplasia, and atherosclerosis, leading to a substantial number of patients requiring revascularization. Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of SVGs poses unique challenges, including increased risk of distal embolization and perforation...

Mitral valve repair with resection and non-resection techniques in Barlow's disease: A multi-center study.
Tomšič A, Holubec T, Sandoval E, Pham T, Castella M, Klautz RJM, Marsan NA, Pereda D, Palmen M
Background: Various mitral valve (MV) repair techniques are nowadays in use. Non-resection techniques, that rely exclusively on Gore-Tex® neochords and annuloplasty, have been popularized; however, their efficacy in Barlow's disease, characterized by large myxomatous leaflets, is yet unclear. Methods: Consecutive patients undergoing MV repair for Barlow's disease between 2011 and 2019 were selected on the basis of being eligible for resection and non-resection techniques. Study endpoin...

Imaging and Quantification of the Hepatic Vasculature of Mice Using Ultrafast Doppler Ultrasound.
Stripling K, Timmermans F, Décombas-Deschamps S, Thalgott JH, Lemonnier D, de Vries MR, Rabelink TJ, Tanter M, Deffieux T, Lebrin F
Non-invasive in vivo imaging of the vasculature is a powerful tool for studying disease mechanisms in rodents. To achieve high sensitivity imaging of the microvasculature using Doppler ultrasound methods, imaging modalities employing the concept of ultrafast imaging are preferred. By increasing the frame rate of the ultrasound scanner to thousands of frames per second, it becomes possible to improve the sensitivity of the blood flow down to 2 mm/s and to obtain functional information about the m...

The impact of variations in the three-dimensional structure of the genome has been recognized, but solid cancer tissue studies are limited. Here, we performed integrated deep Hi-C sequencing with matched whole-genome sequencing, whole-genome bisulfite sequencing, 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) sequencing and RNA sequencing across a cohort of 80 biopsy samples from patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. Dramatic differences were present in gene expression, 5-methylcytosine...

Advances in the Assessment of Patients With Tricuspid Regurgitation: A State-of-the-Art Review on the Echocardiographic Evaluation Before and After Tricuspid Valve Interventions.
Badano LP, Tomaselli M, Muraru D, Galloo X, Li CHP, Ajmone Marsan N
Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) can have a significant impact on the health and mortality of a patient. Unfortunately, many patients with advanced right-sided heart failure are not referred for isolated tricuspid valve (TV) surgery in a timely manner. This delayed referral has resulted in a high in-hospital mortality rate and significant undertreatment. Fortunately, transcatheter TV intervention (TTVI) has emerged as a safe and effective alternative to surgery, successfully reducing TR severity and...
