Advances in cancer treatments have improved clinical outcomes, leading to an increasing population of cancer survivors. However, this success is associated with high rates of short- and long-term cardiovascular (CV) toxicities. The number and variety of cancer drugs and CV toxicity types make long-term care a complex undertaking. This requires a multidisciplinary approach that includes expertise in oncology, cardiology and other related specialties, and has led to the development of the cardio-o... Abstract

Ventricular arrhythmias are an important cause of morbidity and mortality and come in a variety of forms, from single premature ventricular complexes to sustained ventricular tachycardia and fibrillation. Rapid developments have taken place over the past decade in our understanding of these arrhythmias and in our ability to diagnose and treat them. The field of catheter ablation has progressed with the development of new methods and tools, and with the publication of large clinical trials. There... Abstract

European heart journal. Cardiovascular Imaging, Volume 21, Issue 10, 1 1 2020, Pages 1116-1122 The fallacy of indexed effective orifice area charts to predict prosthesis-patient mismatch after prosthesis implantation. Vriesendorp MD, De Lind Van Wijngaarden RAF, Head SJ, Kappetein AP, Hickey GL, Rao V, Weissman NJ, Reardon MJ, Moront MG, Sabik JF, Klautz RJM

Aims: Indexed effective orifice area (EOAi) charts are used to determine the likelihood of prosthesis-patient mismatch (PPM) after aortic valve replacement (AVR).

The Journal of experimental medicine, Volume 217, Issue 10, 1 1 2020, Pages e20200318 Liver X receptors are required for thymic resilience and T cell output. Chan CT, Fenn AM, Harder NK, Mindur JE, McAlpine CS, Patel J, Valet C, Rattik S, Iwamoto Y, He S, Anzai A, Kahles F, Poller WC, Janssen H, Wong LP, Fernandez-Hernando C, Koolbergen DR, van der Laan AM, Yvan-Charvet L, Sadreyev RI, Nahrendorf M, Westerterp M, Tall AR, Gustafsson JA, Swirski FK

The thymus is a primary lymphoid organ necessary for optimal T cell development. Here, we show that liver X receptors (LXRs)-a class of nuclear receptors and transcription factors with diverse functions in metabolism and immunity-critically contribute to thymic integrity and function. LXRαβ-deficient mice develop a fatty, rapidly involuting thymus and acquire a shrunken and prematurely immunoinhibitory peripheral T cell repertoire. LXRαβ's functions are cell specific, and the resulting phen... Abstract

International journal of stroke : official journal of the International Stroke Society, Volume 16, Issue 5, 30 5 2020, Pages 534-541 The association between computed tomography angiography timing and workflow times in patients with acute ischemic stroke. Dessens FM, Groot AE, van der Veen B, Treurniet KM, Majoie CB, Driessen-Waaijer A, Weinstein HC, Roos YB, Van den Berg-Vos RM, Coutinho JM, van Schaik SM

Background: In most hospitals, computed tomography angiography (CTA) is nowadays routinely performed in patients with acute ischemic stroke. However, it is unclear whether CTA is best performed before or after start of intravenous thrombolysis (IVT), since acquisition of CTA before IVT may prolong door-to-needle times, while acquisition after IVT may prolong door-to-groin times in patients undergoing endovascular treatment. Methods: We performed a before-versus-after study (CTA following IVT, pe... Abstract
