Sex differences in body fat distribution are related to sex differences in serum leptin and adiponectin.
Christen T, Trompet S, Noordam R, van Klinken JB, van Dijk KW, Lamb HJ, Cobbaert CM, den Heijer M, Jazet IM, Jukema JW, Rosendaal FR, de Mutsert R
It is debated whether sex differences in adiponectin and leptin are due to sex differences in body fat distribution. In this cross-sectional analysis of the Netherlands Epidemiology of Obesity study, associations of measures of body fat and sex with serum adiponectin and leptin concentrations were examined using linear regression analysis (n = 6494, VAT: n = 2516). Sex differences were additionally adjusted for the measure of body fat that was most strongly associated with adiponectin or leptin...

Imaging of Valvular Heart Disease in Heart Failure.
Podlesnikar T, Delgado V, Bax JJ
Valvular heart disease (VHD) and heart failure (HF) are major health issues that are steadily increasing in prevalence in Western populations. VHD and HF frequently co-exist, which can complicate the accurate diagnosis of the severity of valve stenosis or regurgitation and affect decisions about therapeutic options. Transthoracic echocardiography is the first-line imaging modality to determine left ventricular (LV) systolic function, to grade valvular stenosis or regurgitation and to characteris...

Systemic Upregulation of IL-10 (Interleukin-10) Using a Nonimmunogenic Vector Reduces Growth and Rate of Dissecting Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm.
Adam M, Kooreman NG, Jagger A, Wagenhäuser MU, Mehrkens D, Wang Y, Kayama Y, Toyama K, Raaz U, Schellinger IN, Maegdefessel L, Spin JM, Hamming JF, Quax PHA, Baldus S, Wu JC, Tsao PS
Objective- Recruitment of immunologic competent cells to the vessel wall is a crucial step in formation of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). Innate immunity effectors (eg, macrophages), as well as mediators of adaptive immunity (eg, T cells), orchestrate a local vascular inflammatory response. IL-10 (interleukin-10) is an immune-regulatory cytokine with a crucial role in suppression of inflammatory processes. We hypothesized that an increase in systemic IL-10-levels would mitigate AAA progressio...

Electrocardiographic PR interval measures atrio-ventricular depolarization and conduction, and abnormal PR interval is a risk factor for atrial fibrillation and heart block. Our genome-wide association study of over 92,000 European-descent individuals identifies 44 PR interval loci (34 novel). Examination of these loci reveals known and previously not-yet-reported biological processes involved in cardiac atrial electrical activity. Genes in these loci are over-represented in cardiac disease proc...

ECG derived ventricular gradient exceeds echocardiography in the early detection of pulmonary hypertension in scleroderma patients.
Meijer FMM, Kies P, Jongbloed MRM, van Wijngaarden SE, Swenne CA, Man S, Schalij MJ, de Vries-Bouwstra JK, Vliegen HW
Background: Patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) are at risk for developing pulmonary hypertension (PH) which is a major cause of death in this population. Echocardiographic (TTE) derived pulmonary arterial pressure (PAP) can be unreliable for the early detection of PH. Previous studies demonstrate that the ECG derived ventricular gradient optimized for right ventricular pressure overload (VG-RVPO) can detect PH in a heterogeneous population suspected of PH. The aim of this study is to assess...
