Setting your clock: associations between timing of objective physical activity and cardiovascular disease risk in the general population.
Albalak G, Stijntjes M, van Bodegom D, Jukema JW, Atsma DE, van Heemst D, Noordam R
Aims: Little is known about the impact of daily physical activity timing (here referred to as 'chronoactivity') on cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. We aimed to examined the associations between chronoactivity and multiple CVD outcomes in the UK Biobank. Methods and results: physical activity data were collected in the UK-Biobank through triaxial accelerometer over a 7-day measurement period. We used K-means clustering to create clusters of participants with similar chronoactivity irr...

Quantitative perfusion assessment using indocyanine green during surgery - current applications and recommendations for future use.
Van Den Hoven P, Osterkamp J, Nerup N, Svendsen MBS, Vahrmeijer A, Van Der Vorst JR, Achiam MP
Purpose: Incorrect assessment of tissue perfusion carries a significant risk of complications in surgery. The use of near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence imaging with Indocyanine Green (ICG) presents a possible solution. However, only through quantification of the fluorescence signal can an objective and reproducible evaluation of tissue perfusion be obtained. This narrative review aims to provide an overview of the available quantification methods for perfusion assessment using ICG NIR fluorescence...

Volume-Weighted Unipolar Voltage Predicts Heart Failure Mortality in Patients With Dilated Cardiomyopathy and Ventricular Arrhythmias.
Kimura Y, Beukers HKC, Rademaker R, Chen HS, Ebert M, Jensen T, Piers SR, Wijnmaalen AP, de Riva M, Dekkers OM, Stevenson WG, Zeppenfeld K
Background: Patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) who are undergoing catheter ablation of ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) are at risk of rapidly progressive heart failure (HF). Endocardial voltages decrease with loss of viable myocardium. Global left ventricular (LV) voltage as a surrogate for the amount of remaining viable myocardium may predict prognosis. Objectives: This study evaluated whether the newly proposed parameter volume-weighted (vw) unipolar voltage (UV) can predict HF-related a...

Very High-Power Ablation for Contiguous Pulmonary Vein Isolation: Results From the Randomized POWER PLUS Trial.
O'Neill L, El Haddad M, Berte B, Kobza R, Hilfiker G, Scherr D, Manninger M, Wijnmaalen AP, Trines SA, Wielandts JY, Gillis K, Lycke M, De Becker B, Tavernier R, Le Polain De Waroux JB, Knecht S, Duytschaever M
Background: Very high-power, short-duration (90-W/4-second) ablation for pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) may reduce procedural times. However, shorter applications with higher power may impact lesion quality. Objectives: In this multicenter, randomized controlled trial, the authors compared procedural efficiency, efficacy, and safety of PVI using 90-W/4-second ablation to 35/50-W ablation. Methods: Patients with paroxysmal or persistent atrial fibrillation undergoing first-time PVI were randomize...

Head-to-Head Comparison of T1 Mapping and Electroanatomical Voltage Mapping in Patients With Ventricular Arrhythmias.
Sramko M, Abdel-Kafi S, Wijnmaalen AP, Tao Q, van der Geest RJ, Lamb HJ, Zeppenfeld K
Background: Electroanatomical voltage mapping (EAVM) has been compared with late gadolinium enhancement cardiovascular magnetic resonance (LGE-CMR), which cannot delineate diffuse fibrosis. T1-mapping CMR overcomes the limitations of LGE-CMR, but it has not been directly compared against EAVM. Objectives: This study aims to assess the relationship between left ventricular (LV) endocardial voltage obtained by EAVM and extracellular volume (ECV) obtained by T1 mapping. Methods: The study investiga...

Evaluation of the Angiosome Concept Using Near-Infrared Fluorescence Imaging with Indocyanine Green.
Tange FP, Ferrari BR, van den Hoven P, van Schaik J, Schepers A, van Rijswijk CSP, van der Meer RW, Putter H, Vahrmeijer AL, Hamming JF, van der Vorst JR
Background: The angiosome concept is defined as the anatomical territory of a source artery within all tissue layers. When applying this theory in vascular surgery, direct revascularization (DR) is preferred to achieve increased blood flow toward the targeted angiosome of the foot in patients with lower extremity arterial disease (LEAD). This study evaluates the applicability of the angiosome concept using quantified near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence imaging with indocyanine green (ICG). Methods:...

Risk for acquired coronary artery disease in genetic vs. congenital thoracic aortopathy.
Dolmaci OB, Ayyildiz T, Poelmann RE, Driessen AHG, Koolbergen DR, Klautz RJM, Lindeman JHN, Grewal N
Objective: Patients with Marfan syndrome (MFS) and patients with a bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) have a significantly increased risk to develop thoracic aortopathy. Both conditions share many pathophysiological mechanisms leading to aortic complications. Bicuspidy is known to have a low risk for acquired coronary artery sclerosis. The aim of this study is to determine the risk of coronary sclerosis in MFS patients. Methods: Marfan syndrome patients with an aortic root dilatation, which were surgic...

Are acute type A aortic dissections atherosclerotic?
Grewal N, Dolmaci O, Jansen E, Klautz R, Driessen A, Lindeman J, Poelmann RE
Background: Type A aortic dissections (TAAD) are devastating aortic complications. Patients with Marfan syndrome, a bicuspid aortic valve or a thoracic aortic aneurysm have an increased risk to develop a TAAD. These predisposing conditions are characterized by a histologically thin intimal layer and hardly any atherosclerosis. Little is known about the susceptibility for atherosclerosis in patients with a type A aortic dissection. Objective: We aim to systematically describe atherosclerotic lesi...

Early adipogenesis is repressed through the newly identified FHL2-NFAT5 signaling complex.
Clemente-Olivo MP, Hernández-Quiles M, Sparrius R, van der Stoel MM, Janssen V, Habibe JJ, van den Burg J, Jongejan A, Alcaraz-Sobrevals P, van Es R, Vos H, Kalkhoven E, de Vries CJM
The LIM-domain-only protein FHL2 is a modulator of signal transduction and has been shown to direct the differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells towards osteoblast and myocyte phenotypes. We hypothesized that FHL2 may simultaneously interfere with the induction of the adipocyte lineage. Therefore, we investigated the role of FHL2 in adipocyte differentiation. For these studies pre-adipocytes isolated from mouse adipose tissue and the 3T3-L1 (pre)adipocyte cell line were applied. We performed FH...

Pleomorphic Ventricular Tachycardia in Dilated Cardiomyopathy Predicts Ventricular Tachycardia Recurrence After Ablation Independent From Cardiac Function: Comparison With Patients With Ischemic Heart Disease.
Kimura Y, de Riva M, Ebert M, Glashan C, Wijnmaalen AP, Piers SR, Dekkers OM, Trines SA, Zeppenfeld K
Background: In dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), outcome after catheter ablation of ventricular tachycardia (VT) is modest, compared with ischemic heart disease (IHD). Pleomorphic VT (PL-VT) has been associated with fibrotic remodeling and end-stage heart failure in IHD. The prognostic role of PL-VT in DCM is unknown. Methods: Consecutive IHD (2009-2016) or DCM (2008-2018) patients undergoing ablation for monomorphic VT were included. PL-VT was defined as ≥1 spontaneous change of the 12-lead VT-morp...
