Function and anatomy: SPECT-MPI and MSCT coronary angiography.
Scholte AJ, Roos CJ, van Werkhoven JM
For the diagnosis of coronary artery disease (CAD), non-invasive cardiac imaging is indispensable. Myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) by single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) investigates the pathophysiological consequences of luminal obstructive CAD, while multislice computed tomography coronary angiography (CTA) indicates the presence, extent and location of coronary atherosclerosis. The integration of CTA and SPECT data may provide important information which may be useful for pa...

Quantification of stenosis severity on multidetector row computed tomography.
Boogers MJ, Schuijf JD
A comprehensive evaluation of coronary anatomy and atherosclerosis can be provided by MDCT. Currently, several studies have used either manual or semi-automated algorithms for quantification of different plaque characteristics, in particular the degree of luminal narrowing. Although the feasibility of these quantitative algorithms has been demonstrated, further refinement of quantitative CT algorithms is currently indicated to allow a comprehensive yet fully automated analysis of plaque characte...

Non-invasive imaging in percutaneous mitral valve procedures.
Marsan NA, Bax JJ
Novel percutaneous techniques for the treatment of mitral valve (MV) disease have recently been developed and provide an alternative to surgery in patients with high operative risk. However, the complexity of MV anatomy and the variety of mitral regurgitation mechanisms require sophisticated procedures and accurate patient selection. Non-invasive imaging (echocardiography, multislice computed tomography) provides crucial anatomical details and exact characterisation of the mechanism underlying m...

Endogenous inflammatory molecules engage Toll-like receptors in cardiovascular disease.
Ionita MG, Arslan F, de Kleijn DP, Pasterkamp G
Innate immunity is important in the pathogenesis and progression of cardiovascular disease. Innate immune cells express various pattern-recognition receptors, among which also Toll-like receptors (TLRs). TLRs occur in atherosclerotic lesions where they are triggered by both exogenous (bacterial and viral pathogens) and endogenous (tissue damage-associated) molecules. Several endogenous TLR activators are described in relation to atherosclerotic disease or ischemia-induced cardiac injury. Experim...

The spatial QRS-T angle in the Frank vectorcardiogram: accuracy of estimates derived from the 12-lead electrocardiogram.
Schreurs CA, Algra AM, Man SC, Cannegieter SC, van der Wall EE, Schalij MJ, Kors JA, Swenne CA
Background and purpose: The spatial QRS-T angle (SA), a predictor of sudden cardiac death, is a vectorcardiographic variable. Gold standard vertorcardiograms (VCGs) are recorded by using the Frank electrode positions. However, with the commonly available 12-lead ECG, VCGs must be synthesized by matrix multiplication (inverse Dower matrix/Kors matrix). Alternatively, Rautaharju proposed a method to calculate SA directly from the 12-lead ECG. Neither spatial angles computed by using the inverse Do...

Variation, patterns, and temporal stability of DNA methylation: considerations for epigenetic epidemiology.
Talens RP, Boomsma DI, Tobi EW, Kremer D, Jukema JW, Willemsen G, Putter H, Slagboom PE, Heijmans BT
The prospect of finding epigenetic risk factors for complex diseases would be greatly enhanced if DNA from existing biobanks, which is generally extracted from whole blood, could be used to perform epigenetic association studies. We characterized features of DNA methylation at 16 candidate loci, 8 of which were imprinted, in DNA samples from the Netherlands Twin Register biobank. Except for unmethylated or fully methylated sites, CpG methylation varied considerably in a sample of 30 unrelated in...
