Value of tissue Doppler echocardiography in predicting response to cardiac resynchronization therapy in patients with heart failure.
Van Bommel RJ, Ypenburg C, Borleffs CJ, Delgado V, Marsan NA, Bertini M, Holman ER, Schalij MJ, Bax JJ
Several studies have demonstrated a relation between left ventricular (LV) dyssynchrony and response to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). Many methods of determining LV dyssynchrony have been proposed, including a value of 65 ms as assessed by tissue Doppler imaging. The aim of the present validation study was to prospectively test the predictive accuracy of the 65-ms cutoff for LV dyssynchrony in a large cohort of patients with heart failure undergoing CRT. The study included 361 patient...

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...

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...
