Complement receptor 1 gene polymorphisms are associated with cardiovascular risk.
de Vries MA, Trompet S, Mooijaart SP, Smit RA, Böhringer S, Castro Cabezas M, Jukema JW
Background and aims: Inflammation plays a key role in atherosclerosis. The complement system is involved in atherogenesis, and the complement receptor 1 (CR1) plays a role facilitating the clearance of immune complexes from the circulation. Limited evidence suggests that CR1 may be involved in cardiovascular disease. We investigated the relationship between CR1 gene polymorphisms and cardiovascular risk. Methods: Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within the CR1 region (n = 73) on chromosome...

Rationale, design and goals of the HeartFlow assessing diagnostic value of non-invasive FFR<sub>CT</sub> in Coronary Care (ADVANCE) registry.
Chinnaiyan KM, Akasaka T, Amano T, Bax JJ, Blanke P, De Bruyne B, Kawasaki T, Leipsic J, Matsuo H, Morino Y, Nieman K, Norgaard BL, Patel MR, Pontone G, Rabbat M, Rogers C, Sand NP, Raff G
Background: Coronary CT angiography (CTA) is a reliable tool for the detection of coronary artery disease (CAD) that conveys significant prognostic information. It does not provide data on the hemodynamic significance of a given lesion, particularly in intermediate-grade stenosis. Fractional flow reserve by CT (FFRCT) can accurately predict the hemodynamic significance of coronary lesions. The primary objective of this registry is to determine whether the integration of FFRCT as an adjunct to co...

A novel technique to exclude the left ventricle with an assist device.
Klotz S, MeyerSaraei R, Frydrychowicz A, Scharfschwerdt M, Koertge A, Putman L, Sievers H
Left ventricular assist device implantation disrupts the natural intracavitary blood flow path through the heart, introducing flow patterns potentially associated with thrombosis, especially around the inflow cannula. We describe a novel technique for completely excluding the left ventricle with an assist device by using a cone shaped ring-reinforced prosthesis.

Modeling the Human Scarred Heart In Vitro: Toward New Tissue Engineered Models.
Deddens JC, Sadeghi AH, Hjortnaes J, van Laake LW, Buijsrogge M, Doevendans PA, Khademhosseini A, Sluijter JP
Cardiac remodeling is critical for effective tissue healing, however, excessive production and deposition of extracellular matrix components contribute to scarring and failing of the heart. Despite the fact that novel therapies have emerged, there are still no lifelong solutions for this problem. An urgent need exists to improve the understanding of adverse cardiac remodeling in order to develop new therapeutic interventions that will prevent, reverse, or regenerate the fibrotic changes in the f...

Judging the morality of utilitarian actions: How poor utilitarian accessibility makes judges irrational.
Kusev P, van Schaik P, Alzahrani S, Lonigro S, Purser H
Is it acceptable and moral to sacrifice a few people's lives to save many others? Research on moral dilemmas in psychology, experimental philosophy, and neuropsychology has shown that respondents judge utilitarian personal moral actions (footbridge dilemma) as less appropriate than equivalent utilitarian impersonal moral actions (trolley dilemma). Accordingly, theorists (e.g., Greene et al., 2001) have argued that judgments of appropriateness in personal moral dilemmas are more emotionally...
