Hermans MM, Schappin R, de Laat PCJ, Mendels EJ, Breur JMPJ, Langeveld HR, Raphael MF, de Graaf M, Breugem CC, de Wildt SN, Okkerse JME, Pasmans SGMA, Rietman AB
Background: Infants with infantile hemangioma (IH) have been effectively treated with propranolol or atenolol. Concerns were raised about the mental health of these children at school age, due to central nervous system effects of propranolol and visible nature of IH. Objective: This study aimed to compare the mental health at school age of children treated with propranolol to children treated with atenolol for IHs and their parents. Methods: This two-centered cross-sectional study included child...

Non-Invasive Assessment of Multivalvular Heart Disease: A Comprehensive Review.
De Zan G, van der Bilt IAC, Broekhuizen LN, Cramer MJ, Danad I, van Osch D, Patti G, van Rosendael PJ, Teske AJ, van der Harst P, Guglielmo M
Multivalvular heart disease (MVD) implies the presence of concomitant valvular lesions on two or more heart valves. This condition has become common in the few last years, mostly due to population aging. Every combination of valvular lesions uniquely redefines the hemodynamics of a patient. Over time, this may lead to alterations in left ventricle (LV) dimensions, shape and, eventually, function. Since most of the echocardiographic parameters routinely used in the valvular assessment have been d...

Ventricular Tachycardia Ablation in Patients With Desmoplakin Cardiomyopathy.
Ghannam M, Liang JJ, Hoogendoorn J, Zeppenfeld K, Siontis KC, Asirvatham SJ, Sacher F, Maury P, Gandjbakhch E, Morady F, Bogun F
Background: Desmoplakin (DSP) pathogenic variants are rare causes of arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy and often involve the right and left ventricles. Ventricular tachycardia (VT) ablations may be required in these patients, but procedural characteristics have not been reported. Objectives: In this study, the authors sought to report a multicenter experience of VT ablation in patients with DSP pathogenic variants. Methods: VT ablations performed in patients with known DSP pathogenic variants were a...

Sex Differences in the Histopathology of Acute Type A Aortic Dissections.
Grewal N, Dolmaci OB, Klautz RJ, Poelmann RE
Background: Although sex-related differences in cardiovascular surgery outcomes have increasingly garnered attention in the past decades, knowledge about sex disparities in the pathophysiology of acute type A aortic dissections (ATAADs) remains sparse. In this study, we evaluate the histopathologic and atherosclerotic lesions in female and male ATAAD patients. Methods: A total of 68 patients were studied: 51 ATAAD patients (mean age: 62.5 ± 10.8 years; 49% women) and 17 control patients (mean...

Fast creation of data-driven low-order predictive cardiac tissue excitation models from recorded activation patterns.
Kabus D, De Coster T, de Vries AAF, Pijnappels DA, Dierckx H
Excitable systems give rise to important phenomena such as heat waves, epidemics and cardiac arrhythmias. Understanding, forecasting and controlling such systems requires reliable mathematical representations. For cardiac tissue, computational models are commonly generated in a reaction-diffusion framework based on detailed measurements of ionic currents in dedicated single-cell experiments. Here, we show that recorded movies at the tissue-level of stochastic pacing in a single variable are suff...

Immunogenicity and reactogenicity of intradermal mRNA-1273 SARS-CoV-2 vaccination: a non-inferiority, randomized-controlled trial.
Prins MLM, Roozen GVT, Pothast CR, Huisman W, van Binnendijk R, den Hartog G, Kuiper VP, Prins C, Janse JJ, Lamers OAC, Koopman JPR, Kruithof AC, Kamerling IMC, Dijkland RC, de Kroon AC, Azimi S, Feltkamp MCW, Kuijer M, Jochems SP, Heemskerk MHM, Rosendaal FR, Roestenberg M, Visser LG, Roukens AHE
Fractional dosing can be a cost-effective vaccination strategy to accelerate individual and herd immunity in a pandemic. We assessed the immunogenicity and safety of primary intradermal (ID) vaccination, with a 1/5th dose compared with the standard intramuscular (IM) dose of mRNA-1273 in SARS-CoV-2 naïve persons. We conducted an open-label, non-inferiority, randomized controlled trial in the Netherlands between June and December 2021. One hundred and fifty healthy and SARS-CoV-2 naïve participan...

Reliability, Measurement Error, Responsiveness, and Minimal Important Change of the Patient-Specific Functional Scale 2.0 for Patients With Nonspecific Neck Pain.
Thoomes E, Cleland JA, Falla D, Bier J, de Graaf M
Objective: The Patient-Specific Functional Scale (PSFS) is a patient-reported outcome measure used to assess functional limitations. Recently, the PSFS 2.0 was proposed; this instrument includes an inverse numeric rating scale and an additional list of activities that patients can choose. The aim of this study was to assess the test-retest reliability, measurement error, responsiveness, and minimal important change of the PSFS 2.0 when used by patients with nonspecific neck pain. Methods: Patien...

Therapeutic angiogenesis for patients with chronic limb-threatening ischemia: promising or hoax?
Peeters JAHM, Schepers A, Hamming JF, Quax PHA
Chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) is a critical end-stage disease that leads to high amputation rates. Over the past few decades, therapeutic angiogenesis has attracted a lot of attention as a means to reduce the necessity for amputations. Especially gene- and cell therapy are regarded to as possible treatment modalities to restore the hampered blood flow. So far, early-phase clinical trials often fail to prove a significant clinical improvement in mortality, amputation rate, and ulcer he...

Alogna A, Berboth L, Faragli A, Faragli A, Ötvös J, Lo Muzio FP, di Mauro V, Modica J, Quarta E, Semmler L, Deißler PM, Berger YW, Tran KL, de Marchi B, Longinotti-Buitoni G, Degli Esposti L, Guillot E, Bazile D, Iafisco M, Dotti A, Bang ML, de Luca C, Brandenberger C, Benazzi L, di Silvestre D, de Palma A, Primeßnig U, Hohendanner F, Perna S, Buttini F, Colombo P, Mühlfeld C, Steendijk P, Mauri P, Tschöpe C, Borlaug B, Pieske BM, Attanasio P, Post H, Heinzel FR, Catalucci D
Background: The lack of disease-modifying drugs is one of the major unmet needs in patients with heart failure (HF). Peptides are highly selective molecules with the potential to act directly on cardiomyocytes. However, a strategy for effective delivery of therapeutics to the heart is lacking. Objectives: In this study, the authors sought to assess tolerability and efficacy of an inhalable lung-to-heart nano-in-micro technology (LungToHeartNIM) for cardiac-specific targeting of a mimetic peptide...

The value of serial echocardiography in risk assessment of patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation.
Leung M, van Rosendael PJ, van der Bijl P, Regeer MV, van Wijngaarden SE, Leung DY, Delgado V, Marsan NA, Ng ACT, Bax JJ
Progression from paroxysmal to persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. We examined the association of left atrial (LA) remodeling by serial echocardiography, and AF progression over an extended follow-up period. Two-hundred ninety patients (mean age 61 ± 11 years, 73% male) who underwent transthoracic echocardiography performed at first presentation for non-valvular paroxysmal AF (PAF) and repeat echocardiogram 1-year later, were followed for p...

An iterative approach to developing a multifaceted implementation strategy for a complex eHealth intervention within clinical practice.
IJzerman RVH, van der Vaart R, Breeman LD, Arkenbout K, Keesman M, Kraaijenhagen RA, Evers AWM, Scholte Op Reimer WJM, Janssen VR
Background: The number of complex eHealth interventions has increased considerably. Despite available implementation theory outlining well-designed strategies, implementing complex interventions within practice proves challenging and often does not lead to sustainable use. To improve sustainability, theory and practice should be addressed during the development of an implementation strategy. By subsequently transparently reporting the executed theory-based steps and their corresponding practice...
