Chronic use of low-dose aspirin is not associated with lower bone mineral density in the general population.
Bonten TN, de Mutsert R, Rosendaal FR, Jukema JW, van der Bom JG, de Jongh RT, den Heijer M
Background: Low-dose aspirin is the cornerstone of secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease. Previous studies suggested that the use of aspirin is associated with an increased fracture risk. However, there is uncertainty whether this is due to an effect of aspirin on bone mineral density (BMD). Methods: Between 2008 and 2012, information on medication use and dual X-ray absorptiometry measured vertebral and femoral BMD of 916 participants was collected in the Netherland Epidemiology of Obe...

Cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging to assess myocardial fibrosis in valvular heart disease.
Podlesnikar T, Delgado V, Bax JJ
The left ventricular (LV) remodeling process associated with significant valvular heart disease (VHD) is characterized by an increase of myocardial interstitial space with deposition of collagen and loss of myofibers. These changes occur before LV systolic function deteriorates or the patient develops symptoms. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) permits assessment of reactive fibrosis, with the use of T1 mapping techniques, and replacement fibrosis, with the use of late gadolinium contrast...

Successful Growth Hormone Therapy in Cornelia de Lange Syndrome.
de Graaf M, Kant SG, Wit JM, Willem Redeker EJ, Eduard Santen GW, Henriëtta Verkerk AJM, Uitterlinden AG, Losekoot M, Oostdijk W
Cornelia de Lange syndrome (CdLS) is a both clinically and genetically heterogeneous syndrome. In its classical form, it is characterised by distinctive facial features, intra-uterine growth retardation, short stature, developmental delay, and anomalies in multiple organ systems. NIPBL, SMC1A, SMC3, RAD21 and HDAC8, all involved in the cohesin pathway, have been identified to cause CdLS. Growth hormone (GH) secretion has been reported as normal, and to our knowledge, there are no reports on the...

Value of Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Noninvasive Risk Stratification in Tetralogy of Fallot.
Bokma JP, de Wilde KC, Vliegen HW, van Dijk AP, van Melle JP, Meijboom FJ, Zwinderman AH, Groenink M, Mulder BJM, Bouma BJ
Importance: Adults late after total correction of tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) are at risk for major complications. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging is recommended to quantify right ventricular (RV) and left ventricular (LV) function. However, a commonly used risk model by Khairy et al requires invasive investigations and lacks CMR imaging to identify high-risk patients. Objective: To implement CMR imaging in noninvasive risk stratification to predict major adverse clinical outcomes....
