Ablation of Ventricular Tachycardia in Congenital and Infiltrative Heart Disease.
Wijnmaalen AP, Zeppenfeld K
Radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) is an important treatment modality to prevent ventricular tachycardia (VT) recurrence in patients with repaired congenital heart disease. Identification and ablation of anatomic isthmuses has improved acute ablation outcome with excellent VT-free survival in those with preserved biventricular function. Reports on RFCA for VT in patients with infiltrative disease are sparse and cardiac sarcoidosis seems to be the most prevalent cause for ventricular arrhyth...

Oemrawsingh RM, Akkerhuis KM, Umans VA, Kietselaer B, Schotborgh C, Ronner E, Lenderink T, Liem A, Haitsma D, van der Harst P, Asselbergs FW, Maas A, Oude Ophuis AJ, Ilmer B, Dijkgraaf R, de Winter RJ, The SH, Wardeh AJ, Hermans W, Cramer E, van Schaik RH, Hoefer IE, Doevendans PA, Simoons ML, Boersma E
Purpose: Progression of stable coronary artery disease (CAD) towards acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is a dynamic and heterogeneous process with many intertwined constituents, in which a plaque destabilising sequence could lead to ACS within short time frames. Current CAD risk assessment models, however, are not designed to identify increased vulnerability for the occurrence of coronary events within a precise, short time frame at the individual patient level. The BIOMarker study to identify the A...

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...

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.
