Mendelian randomization study of the relation between adiponectin and heart function, unravelling the paradox.
Christen T, de Mutsert R, Lamb HJ, van Dijk KW, le Cessie S, Rosendaal FR, Jukema JW, Trompet S
High adiponectin concentrations are generally regarded as beneficial with regard to cardiometabolic health, but have been paradoxically associated with increased cardiovascular disease risk, specifically heart failure, in individuals at high cardiovascular risk. We aimed to investigate the association between adiponectin and heart function parameters, and inversely, we estimated the effect of genetically-determined heart function and NT-proBNP as the main marker of heart failure on adiponectin u...

Asymmetry and Heterogeneity: Part and Parcel in Cardiac Autonomic Innervation and Function.
Zandstra TE, Notenboom RGE, Wink J, Kiès P, Vliegen HW, Egorova AD, Schalij MJ, De Ruiter MC, Jongbloed MRM
The cardiac autonomic nervous system (cANS) regulates cardiac adaptation to different demands. The heart is an asymmetrical organ, and in the selection of adequate treatment of cardiac diseases it may be relevant to take into account that the cANS also has sidedness as well as regional differences in anatomical, functional, and molecular characteristics. The left and right ventricles respond differently to adrenergic stimulation. Isoforms of nitric oxide synthase, which plays an important role i...

Five cases of complete atrioventricular block induced by bending forward: unusual but not unique.
Saal DP, Thijs RD, Bootsma M, Brignole M, van Dijk JG
Aims: We describe five patients with syncope caused by a complete atrioventricular block (AVB) while they were bending forward, not rising after bending, and aim to describe the occurrence and the association between bending forward and AVB. Methods and results: In two patients, bending forward was the exclusive trigger for syncope, while in the remaining three, other postural changes (sitting down, standing up, and exertion) could also provoke syncope. Complete AVB as the cause of syncope was d...

Comparative evaluation of coronary disease burden: bicuspid valve disease is not atheroprotective.
Dolmaci OB, Driessen AHG, Klautz RJM, Poelmann R, Lindeman JHN, Grewal N
Objective: Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) has been associated with less atherosclerosis as compared with tricuspid aortic valve (TAV) patients. It, however, remains unclear whether this reflects the older age of TAV patients and/or accumulation of atherosclerotic risk factors or that the BAV phenotype is atheroprotective. Therefore, we compared the atherosclerotic disease burden of BAV and TAV patients, with that of the general (age-matched) population. Methods: The prevalence of coronary artery di...
