Introduction: Anticoagulation therapy is pivotal in the management of stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation (AF). Prospective registries, containing longitudinal data are lacking with detailed information on anticoagulant therapy, treatment adherence and AF-related adverse events in practice-based patient cohorts, in particular for non-vitamin K oral anticoagulants (NOAC). With the creation of DUTCH-AF, a nationwide longitudinal AF registry, we aim to provide clinical data and answer question...

[Investigation into medical disciplinary law critically examined].
Hamming JF
There is a suggestion that the medical disciplinary committees (MDC) in the Netherlands are making more severe rulings on medical professionals. In a 10-year analysis of MDC rulings, it appears that complaints made by patients are more frequently being judged to be well-founded, and that the measures being taken are more severe. The authors conclude that there is a numerical basis for the increasing severity of the rulings. However, a numerical trend as such does not constitute proof of this, as...

Objectives: This study sought to explore sex-based differences in total and compositional plaque volume (PV) progression. Background: It is unclear whether sex has an impact on PV progression in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). Methods: The study analyzed a prospective multinational registry of consecutive patients with suspected CAD who underwent 2 or more clinically indicated coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA) at ≥2-year intervals. Total and compositional PV at baseline...

Regurgitant Volume/Left Ventricular End-Diastolic Volume Ratio: Prognostic Value in Patients With Secondary Mitral Regurgitation.
Namazi F, van der Bijl P, Fortuni F, Mertens BJA, Kamperidis V, van Wijngaarden SE, Stone GW, Narula J, Ajmone Marsan N, Vahanian A, Delgado V, Bax JJ
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the prognostic implications of the ratio of mitral regurgitant volume (RVol) to left ventricular (LV) end-diastolic volume (EDV) in patients with significant secondary mitral regurgitation (MR). Background: Quantification of secondary MR remains challenging, and its severity can be over- or underestimated when using the proximal isovelocity surface area method, which does not take LV volume into account. This limitation can be addressed by...

Reverse remodeling after percutaneous transluminal septal myocardial ablation in severe but asymptomatic LVOT obstruction (RASTA) study: Rationale and design of transcatheter septal reduction in asymptomatic patients with severe hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy.
Arslan F, Akdim F, Ten Berg JM
Objectives: The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of percutaneous transluminal septal myocardial ablation (PTSMA) on remodeling in asymptomatic patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM) and severe left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction. Background: Symptoms justify invasive treatment in HOCM patients with LVOT obstruction. Adverse structural and functional changes (remodeling) in the heart occur preceding heart failure and sudden cardiac death. Early invas...

Comparison of the Usefulness of Strain Imaging by Echocardiography Versus Computed Tomography to Detect Right Ventricular Systolic Dysfunction in Patients With Significant Secondary Tricuspid Regurgitation.
Hirasawa K, van Rosendael PJ, Dietz MF, Ajmone Marsan N, Delgado V, Bax JJ
Assessment of right ventricular (RV) systolic function in patients with significant secondary tricuspid regurgitation (STR) remains challenging. In patients with severe aortic stenosis treated with transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), STR and RV enlargement have been associated with poor outcomes. In these patients, speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) may detect RV systolic dysfunction better than 3-dimensional (3D) RV ejection fraction (EF). The purpose of this study was to inves...

Background: The blood metabolome incorporates cues from the environment and the host's genetic background, potentially offering a holistic view of an individual's health status. Methods: We have compiled a vast resource of proton nuclear magnetic resonance metabolomics and phenotypic data encompassing over 25 000 samples derived from 26 community and hospital-based cohorts. Results: Using this resource, we constructed a metabolomics-based age predictor (metaboAge) to calculate an indiv...

Editor's Choice - A Systemic Evaluation of the Costs of Elective EVAR and Open Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Repair Implies Cost Equivalence.
Bulder RMA, Eefting D, Vriens PWHE, van Tongeren RB, Matsumura JS, van den Hout WB, Hamming JF, Lindeman JHN
Objective: The suggested high costs of endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) hamper the choice of insurance companies and financial regulators for EVAR as the primary option for elective abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair. However, arguments used in this debate are impeded by time related aspects such as effect modification and the introduction of confounding by indication, and by asymmetric evaluation of outcomes. Therefore, a re-evaluation minimising the impact of these interferences was con...

Outcomes of parathyroidectomy versus calcimimetics for secondary hyperparathyroidism and kidney transplantation: a propensity-matched analysis.
Koh EY, van der Plas WY, Dulfer RR, Pol RA, Kruijff S, Rotmans JI, Appelman-Dijkstra N, Schepers A, de Borst MH, Hoorn EJ, van Ginhoven TM, Nieveen van Dijkum EJM, Vogt L, Engelsman AF, Dutch Hyperparathyroidism Study Group
Purpose: Calcimimetics are currently indicated for severe secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT). However, the role of parathyroidectomy (PTX) for these patients is still under debate, and its impact on subsequent kidney transplantation (KTX) is unclear. In this study, we compare the outcomes of kidney transplantation after PTX or medical treatment. Methods: Patients who underwent KTX and had SHPT were analyzed retrospectively. Two groups were selected (patients who had either PTX or calcimimetics...

Per-lesion versus per-patient analysis of coronary artery disease in predicting the development of obstructive lesions: the Progression of AtheRosclerotic PlAque DetermIned by Computed TmoGraphic Angiography Imaging (PARADIGM) study.
Lee SE, Sung JM, Andreini D, Al-Mallah MH, Budoff MJ, Cademartiri F, Chinnaiyan K, Choi JH, Chun EJ, Conte E, Gottlieb I, Hadamitzky M, Kim YJ, Lee BK, Leipsic JA, Maffei E, Marques H, de Araújo Gonçalves P, Pontone G, Shin S, Stone PH, Samady H, Virmani R, Narula J, Berman DS, Shaw LJ, Bax JJ, Lin FY, Min JK, Chang HJ
To determine whether the assessment of individual plaques is superior in predicting the progression to obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) on serial coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) than per-patient assessment. From a multinational registry of 2252 patients who underwent serial CCTA at a ≥ 2-year inter-scan interval, patients with only non-obstructive lesions at baseline were enrolled. CCTA was quantitatively analyzed at both the per-patient and per-lesion level. Models pred...

The constrictive consequences of pericardial calcifications.
Egorova AD, Schalij MJ, Kiès P
A 53-year-old man presented with symptomatic severe pulmonary valve regurgitation. He underwent a diagnostic catheterization. A heavily calcified pericardium and the pressure tracings illustrate typical features of constrictive pericarditis physiology, including the "square root sign." This condition is important to recognize given the progressive nature and poor prognosis if untreated.

Refuting misconceptions in medical physiology.
Versteeg M, van Loon MH, Wijnen-Meijer M, Steendijk P
Background: In medical physiology, educators and students face a serious challenge termed misconceptions. Misconceptions are incorrect ideas that do not match current scientific views. Accordingly, they have shown to hamper teaching and learning of physiological concepts. Conceptual Change Theory forms the basis of new teaching and learning practices that may alleviate misconceptions and facilitate critical thinking skills that are essential in becoming knowledgeable, self-regulated health profe...

The role of long-term mechanical circulatory support in patients with advanced heart failure.
Felix SEA, de Jonge N, Caliskan K, Birim O, Damman K, Kuijpers M, Tops LF, Palmen M, Ramjankhan FZ
In patients with end-stage heart failure, advanced therapies such as heart transplantation and long-term mechanical circulatory support (MCS) with a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) have to be considered. LVADs can be implanted as a bridge to transplantation or as an alternative to heart transplantation: destination therapy. In the Netherlands, long-term LVAD therapy is gaining importance as a result of increased prevalence of heart failure together with a low number of heart transplantatio...
