Non-response to (statin) therapy: the importance of distinguishing non-responders from non-adherers in pharmacogenetic studies.
Trompet S, Postmus I, Slagboom PE, Heijmans BT, Smit RA, Maier AB, Buckley BM, Sattar N, Stott DJ, Ford I, Westendorp RG, de Craen AJ, Jukema JW
Purpose: In pharmacogenetic research, genetic variation in non-responders and high responders is compared with the aim to identify the genetic loci responsible for this variation in response. However, an important question is whether the non-responders are truly biologically non-responsive or actually non-adherent? Therefore, the aim of this study was to describe, within the PROspective Study of Pravastatin in the Elderly at Risk (PROSPER), characteristics of both non-responders and high respond...

Left ventricular systolic function assessment in secondary mitral regurgitation: left ventricular ejection fraction vs. speckle tracking global longitudinal strain.
Kamperidis V, Marsan NA, Delgado V, Bax JJ
Aims: Left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (LVEF) is currently considered for the decision making of patients with mitral regurgitation (MR). However, LVEF represents change in LV volume between end-diastole and end-systole but does not characterize the intrinsic function of the myocardium. In contrast, speckle-tracking global longitudinal strain (GLS) characterizes myocardial deformation. The present study evaluated whether LV GLS may detect further impairment in LV systolic function in dila...

Prognostic Value of Coronary Computed Tomography Imaging in Patients at High Risk Without Symptoms of Coronary Artery Disease.
Dedic A, Ten Kate GJ, Roos CJ, Neefjes LA, de Graaf MA, Spronk A, Delgado V, van Lennep JE, Moelker A, Ouhlous M, Scholte AJ, Boersma E, Sijbrands EJ, Nieman K, Bax JJ, de Feijter PJ
At present, traditional risk factors are used to guide cardiovascular management of asymptomatic subjects. Intensified surveillance may be warranted in those identified as high risk of developing cardiovascular disease (CVD). This study aims to determine the prognostic value of coronary computed tomography (CT) angiography (CCTA) next to the coronary artery calcium score (CACS) in patients at high CVD risk without symptoms suspect for coronary artery disease (CAD). A total of 665 patients at hig...

Enhanced characterization of calcified areas in intravascular ultrasound virtual histology images by quantification of the acoustic shadow: validation against computed tomography coronary angiography.
Broersen A, de Graaf MA, Eggermont J, Wolterbeek R, Kitslaar PH, Dijkstra J, Bax JJ, Reiber JH, Scholte AJ
We enhance intravascular ultrasound virtual histology (VH) tissue characterization by fully automatic quantification of the acoustic shadow behind calcified plaque. VH is unable to characterize atherosclerosis located behind calcifications. In this study, the quantified acoustic shadows are considered calcified to approximate the real dense calcium (DC) plaque volume. In total, 57 patients with 108 coronary lesions were included. A novel post-processing step is applied on the VH images to quanti...

<sup>18</sup>F-FDG positron emission tomography/computed tomography in infective endocarditis.
Salomäki SP, Saraste A, Kemppainen J, Bax JJ, Knuuti J, Nuutila P, Seppänen M, Roivainen A, Airaksinen J, Pirilä L, Oksi J, Hohenthal U
Background: The diagnosis of infective endocarditis (IE), especially the diagnosis of prosthetic valve endocarditis (PVE) is challenging since echocardiographic findings are often scarce in the early phase of the disease. We studied the use of 2-[18F]fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) in IE. Methods: Sixteen patients with suspected PVE and 7 patients with NVE underwent visual evaluation of 18F-FDG-PET/CT. 18F-FDG uptake was measured also...

Detailed characterization of familial idiopathic ventricular fibrillation linked to the DPP6 locus.
Ten Sande JN, Postema PG, Boekholdt SM, Tan HL, van der Heijden JF, de Groot NM, Volders PG, Zeppenfeld K, Boersma LV, Nannenberg EA, Christiaans I, Wilde AA
Background: Familial idiopathic ventricular fibrillation (IVF) is a severe disease entity and is notoriously difficult to manage because there are no clinical risk indicators for premature cardiac arrest. Previously, we identified a link between familial IVF and a risk haplotype on chromosome 7q36 (involving the arrhythmia gene DPP6). Objective: The purpose of this study was to expand our knowledge of familial IVF and to discuss its (extended) clinical characteristics. Methods: We studied 601 fa...

KLRG1 and PD-1 expression are increased on T-cells following tuberculosis-treatment and identify cells with different proliferative capacities in BCG-vaccinated adults.
Boer MC, van Meijgaarden KE, Goletti D, Vanini V, Prins C, Ottenhoff TH, Joosten SA
In cancer and chronic infectious diseases, immune checkpoint-blockade of inhibitory receptors can enhance T-cell immunity. In tuberculosis (TB), a chronic infectious disease, prolonged antigen exposure can potentially drive terminal T-cell differentiation towards functional 'exhaustion': in human TB T-cells express PD-1 (programmed cell death protein-1) and CTLA-4 (cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein-4). However, in murine TB not PD-1 but rather killer cell lectin-like receptor s...

Traumatic rupture of a Meckel's diverticulum due to blunt abdominal trauma in a soccer game: A case report.
Tummers WS, van der Vorst JR, Swank DJ
Introduction: a Meckel's diverticulum is one of the most common congenital anomalies of the digestive tract. The reported lifetime complication rate is 4%, mostly due to hemorrhage, obstruction, perforation or inflammation. A symptomatic Meckel's diverticulum due to rupture after blunt abdominal trauma is very rare. We believe this case report is the first reporting a rupture of a Meckel's diverticulum after a low velocity blunt abdominal trauma and outlining the importance of a t...

Algorithm-supported visual error correction (AVEC) of heart rate measurements in dogs, Canis lupus familiaris.
Schöberl I, Kortekaas K, Schöberl FF, Kotrschal K
Dog heart rate (HR) is characterized by a respiratory sinus arrhythmia, and therefore makes an automatic algorithm for error correction of HR measurements hard to apply. Here, we present a new method of error correction for HR data collected with the Polar system, including (1) visual inspection of the data, (2) a standardized way to decide with the aid of an algorithm whether or not a value is an outlier (i.e., "error"), and (3) the subsequent removal of this error from the data set....

Rationale and design of POPular-TAVI: antiPlatelet therapy fOr Patients undergoing Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation.
Nijenhuis VJ, Bennaghmouch N, Hassell M, Baan J, van Kuijk JP, Agostoni P, van 't Hof A, Kievit PC, Veenstra L, van der Harst P, van den Heuvel AF, den Heijer P, Kelder JC, Deneer VH, van der Kley F, Onorati F, Collet JP, Maisano F, Latib A, Huber K, Stella PR, Ten Berg JM
Background: Despite improving experience and techniques, ischemic and bleeding complications after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) remain prevalent and impair survival. Current guidelines recommend the temporary addition of clopidogrel in the initial period after TAVI to prevent thromboembolic events. However, explorative studies suggest that this is associated with a higher rate of major bleeding without a decrease in thromboembolic complications. Methods: The POPular TAVI trial...

Advantages and disadvantages of unstructured cardiovascular risk factor screening for follow-up in primary care.
de Boer AW, de Mutsert R, den Heijer M, Rosendaal FR, Jukema JW, Blom JW, Numans ME, NEO study group
Background: In contrast to structured, integrated risk assessment in primary care, unstructured risk factor screening outside primary care and corresponding recommendations to consult a general practitioner (GP) are often based on one abnormal value of a single risk factor. This study investigates the advantages and disadvantages of unstructured screening of blood pressure and cholesterol outside primary care. Methods: After the baseline visit of the Netherlands Epidemiology of Obesity study (po...
