Strain-dependent susceptibility for hypertension in mice resides in the natural killer gene complex.
Taherzadeh Z, VanBavel E, de Vos J, Matlung HL, van Montfrans G, Brewster LM, Seghers L, Quax PH, Bakker EN
Hypertension is associated with chronic vascular inflammation. We tested the hypothesis that the sensitivity to develop hypertension and vascular remodeling depends on the immunological background. Blood pressure, vascular remodeling, endothelial function, vascular architecture (number of collateral arteries), and expression of inflammatory cytokines were determined in mice that received N(G)-nitro-l-arginine methyl ester (l-NAME) to inhibit nitric oxide synthesis. We studied C57BL/6, BALB/c, an...

Perceptual judgment and saccadic behavior in a spatial distortion with briefly presented stimuli.
Stork S, Müsseler J, van der Heijden AH
When observers are asked to localize the peripheral position of a small probe with respect to the mid-position of a spatially extended comparison stimulus, they tend to judge the probe as being more peripheral than the mid-position of the comparison stimulus. This relative mislocalization seems to emerge from differences in absolute localization, that is the comparison stimulus is localized more towards the fovea than the probe. The present study compared saccadic behaviour and relative localiza...

Systemic MCP1/CCR2 blockade and leukocyte specific MCP1/CCR2 inhibition affect aortic aneurysm formation differently.
de Waard V, Bot I, de Jager SC, Talib S, Egashira K, de Vries MR, Quax PH, Biessen EA, van Berkel TJ
Objective: CCR2, the receptor for monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP1), is involved in atherosclerosis and abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs). Here, we explored the potential beneficial blockade of the MCP1/CCR2 pathway. Methods: We applied an AAA model in aging apolipoprotein E deficient mice with pre-existing atherosclerotic lesions. These mice were subjected to two therapeutic strategies. First, a dominant negative form of MCP1 was overexpressed in femoral muscles, resulting in circulatin...

Predictive value of NT-proBNP in vascular surgery patients with COPD and normal left ventricular systolic function.
van Gestel YR, Goei D, Hoeks SE, Sin DD, Flu WJ, Stam H, Mertens FW, Bax JJ, van Domburg RT, Poldermans D
N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) is commonly used to identify a cardiac cause of dyspnoea. However, patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) may also have increased plasma NT-proBNP levels because of right-sided myocardial stress caused by pulmonary hypertension. We investigated the relationship between COPD and elevated NT-proBNP levels as well as the impact of elevated NT-proBNP levels on mortality in vascular surgery patients with normal left ventricular...

Noninvasive estimation of left ventricular filling pressures in patients with heart failure after surgical ventricular restoration and restrictive mitral annuloplasty.
ten Brinke EA, Bertini M, Klautz RJ, Antoni ML, Holman ER, van de Veire NR, Bax JJ, Steendijk P
Objective: Doppler echocardiography, including tissue Doppler imaging, is widely applied to assess diastolic left ventricular function using early transmitral flow velocity combined with mitral annular velocity as a noninvasive estimate of left ventricular filling pressures. However, the accuracy of early transmitral flow velocity/mitral annular velocity in patients with heart failure, particularly after extensive cardiac surgery, is debated. Global diastolic strain rate during isovolumic relaxa...

Attitude towards redundant leads and the practice of lead extractions: a European survey.
van Erven L, Morgan JM, Scientific Initiatives Committee (SIC)
This survey has compared attitudes towards (endocardial) lead extraction, among European electrophysiology centres, with special attention paid to 'redundant leads'. The main findings of this survey are: (i) most of the centres performing lead extractions do so in low volume even though the number of implants may be high. (ii) Approaches to the practice of lead extraction are based largely on clinical experience and individual sentiment but not on a rigorous evidence based. (iii) Tract...

Imaging and atrial fibrillation: the role of multimodality imaging in patient evaluation and management of atrial fibrillation.
Tops LF, Schalij MJ, Bax JJ
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia, and is associated with an increased risk of cardiac morbidity and mortality. In this review, the role of multimodality imaging in the evaluation and treatment of AF is discussed in two main parts. First, an overview of the initial assessment of an AF patient is provided, including the role of different imaging techniques. Conditions that are associated with AF (coronary artery disease, heart failure, valvular heart disease, and left...

Epigenetics in atherosclerosis and inflammation.
Wierda RJ, Geutskens SB, Jukema JW, Quax PH, van den Elsen PJ
Atherosclerosis is a multifactorial disease with a severe burden on western society. Recent insights into the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis underscore the importance of chronic inflammation in both the initiation and progression of vascular remodelling. Expression of immunoregulatory molecules by vascular wall components within the atherosclerotic lesions is accordingly thought to contribute to the ongoing inflammatory process. Besides gene regulatory proteins (transcription factors), epigenet...

Analysis of ventricular activation using surface electrocardiography to predict left ventricular reverse volumetric remodeling during cardiac resynchronization therapy.
Sweeney MO, van Bommel RJ, Schalij MJ, Borleffs CJ, Hellkamp AS, Bax JJ
Background: Cardiac resynchronization therapy for heart failure with left bundle branch block reduces left ventricular (LV) conduction delay, contraction asynchrony, and LV end-systolic volume ("reverse remodeling"). Up to one third of patients do not improve, and the electric requirements for reverse remodeling are unclear. We hypothesized that reverse remodeling is predicted by the left bundle branch block ventricular activation sequence, the paced activation sequence, and interactio...

Cardiac function during mild hypothermia in pigs: increased inotropy at the expense of diastolic dysfunction.
Post H, Schmitto JD, Steendijk P, Christoph J, Holland R, Wachter R, Schöndube FW, Pieske B
Aim: The induction of mild hypothermia (MH; 33 degrees C) has become the guideline therapy to attenuate hypoxic brain injury after out-of-hospital cardiopulmonary resuscitation. While MH exerts a positive inotropic effect in vitro, MH reduces cardiac output in vivo and is thus discussed critically when severe cardiac dysfunction is present in patients. We thus assessed the effect of MH on the function of the normal heart in an in vivo model closely mimicking the clinical setting. Methods: Ten an...
