Annexin A5 prevents post-interventional accelerated atherosclerosis development in a dose-dependent fashion in mice.
Ewing MM, Karper JC, Sampietro ML, de Vries MR, Pettersson K, Jukema JW, Quax PH
Background: Activated cells in atherosclerotic lesions expose phosphatidylserine (PS) on their surface. Annexin A5 (AnxA5) binds to PS and is used for imaging atherosclerotic lesions. Recently, AnxA5 was shown to inhibit vascular inflammatory processes after vein grafting. Here, we report a therapeutic role for AnxA5 in post-interventional vascular remodeling in a mouse model mimicking percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods and results: Associations between the rs4833229 (OR = 1.29 (C...

Remote monitoring of cardiac implanted electronic devices (CIED: pacemaker, cardiac resynchronisation therapy device and implantable cardioverter defibrillator) has been developed for technical control and follow-up using transtelephonic data transmission. In addition, automatic or patient-triggered alerts are sent to the cardiologist or allied professional who can respond if necessary with various interventions. The advantage of remote monitoring appears obvious in impending CIED failures and s...

A limited role for regulatory T cells in post-ischemic neovascularization.
Hellingman AA, van der Vlugt LE, Lijkwan MA, Bastiaansen AJ, Sparwasser T, Smits HH, Hamming JF, Quax PH
Recently, it was demonstrated that arteriogenesis is enhanced in mice deficient in regulatory T cells (CD4(+) CD25(+) FoxP3(+) T cell), which can suppress effector T cell responses. The present study investigates the effects of these regulatory T cells on arteriogenesis in more detail by either specific expanding or depleting regulatory T cells. Hind limb ischemia was induced by electro-coagulation of the femoral artery in mice. Regulatory T cells were either expanded by injecting mice with a c...

Integration of data from remote monitoring systems and programmers into the hospital electronic health record system based on international standards.
van der Velde ET, Foeken H, Witteman TA, van Erven L, Schalij MJ
Remote follow-up of implanted ICDs may offer a solution to the problem of overcrowded outpatient clinics. All major device companies have developed a remote follow-up solution. Data obtained from the remote follow-up systems are stored in a central database system, operated and owned by the device company and accessible for the physician or technician. However, the problem now arises that part of the patient's clinical information is stored in the local electronic health record (EHR) system...

Changes in left ventricular function after mitral valve repair for severe organic mitral regurgitation.
Witkowski TG, Thomas JD, Delgado V, van Rijnsoever E, Ng AC, Hoke U, Ewe SH, Auger D, Yiu KH, Holman ER, Klautz RJ, Schalij MJ, Bax JJ, Marsan NA
Background: Limited data are available on the changes in left ventricular (LV) contractile function at long-term follow-up after mitral valve repair (MVr). Moreover, assessment of LV systolic function in patients undergoing MVr is troublesome with current methods, given that mitral regurgitation is characterized by increased preload and decreased afterload, potentially masking LV dysfunction. The aim of this study was to assess the value of LV global strain (longitudinal and circumferential) mea...

Non-invasive assessment of atherosclerotic coronary lesion length using multidetector computed tomography angiography: comparison to quantitative coronary angiography.
van Velzen JE, de Graaf MA, Ciarka A, de Graaf FR, Schalij MJ, Kroft LJ, de Roos A, Jukema JW, Reiber JH, Schuijf JD, Bax JJ, van der Wall EE
Multidetector computed tomography angiography (CTA) provides information on plaque extent and stenosis in the coronary wall. More accurate lesion assessment may be feasible with CTA as compared to invasive coronary angiography (ICA). Accordingly, lesion length assessment was compared between ICA and CTA in patients referred for CTA who underwent subsequent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). 89 patients clinically referred for CTA were subsequently referred for ICA and PCI. On CTA, lesion...

Long-term results of reoperation for left atrioventricular valve regurgitation after correction of atrioventricular septal defects.
Hoohenkerk GJ, Bruggemans EF, Koolbergen DR, Rijlaarsdam ME, Hazekamp MG
Background: Long-term results of reoperation for left atrioventricular valve regurgitation (LAVVR) after previous correction of atrioventricular septal defect (AVSD) are scarce. We evaluated long-term outcome of reoperation for LAVVR and identified risk factors for reoperation. Methods: Between December 1976 and July 2006, 45 of 312 patients with correction of different AVSDs underwent reoperation for LAVVR. The cohort of 267 patients who did not need reoperation for LAVVR allowed for the identi...

Diagnosis and mortality prediction in pulmonary hypertension: the value of the electrocardiogram-derived ventricular gradient.
Scherptong RW, Henkens IR, Kapel GF, Swenne CA, van Kralingen KW, Huisman MV, Schuerwegh AJ, Bax JJ, van der Wall EE, Schalij MJ, Vliegen HW
Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the use of the electrocardiogram-derived ventricular gradient, projected on the x-axis (VGx), for detection of pulmonary hypertension (PH) and for prediction of all-cause mortality in PH patients. Methods: In patients referred for PH screening (n = 216), the VGx was calculated semiautomatically from the electrocardiogram and was defined as abnormal when less than 24 mV · ms. The VGx of PH patients was compared with the VGx of patients without PH....

The innate immune response in reperfused myocardium.
Timmers L, Pasterkamp G, de Hoog VC, Arslan F, Appelman Y, de Kleijn DP
One of the major therapeutic challenges in the arena of interventional cardiology is to design strategies aimed at reducing myocardial tissue damage after myocardial infarction. In response to tissue injury, an innate immune response is initiated that orchestrates homeostatic responses and is a prerequisite for subsequent wound healing. An exaggerated inflammatory reaction, however, countervenes these beneficial effects and contributes to maladaptive tissue damage. Herein, we discuss the pathway...

Xenon is not superior to isoflurane on cardiovascular function during experimental acute pulmonary hypertension.
Roehl AB, Steendijk P, Rossaint R, Bleilevens C, Goetzenich A, Hein M
Background: Acute right ventricular afterload increase is a known perioperative challenge for the anaesthetic regime especially for patients with a compromised right ventricle. The accused negative inotropic action of volatile anaesthetics, with the exception of xenon, might be crucial for the adaptation of the right ventricle. Methods: Reversible pulmonary hypertension (mean pressure 40 mmHg) was induced by an infusion of the stable thromboxane A(2) analog U46619 in a porcine model (n = 35). Th...
