Treatment recommendations to prevent myocardial ischemia and infarction in patients undergoing vascular surgery.
Flu WJ, Hoeks SE, van Kuijk JP, Bax JJ, Poldermans D
During major vascular surgery (MVS), patients are at high risk for developing unrecognized myocardial infarction (MI) and myocardial ischemia. In reducing postoperative morbidity and mortality, preoperative cardiac risk stratification and adequate medical therapy play a pivotal role. Based on literature and current opinions, medical treatment should comprise at least a combination of beta-blockers, aspirin, and statins. beta-Blockers exert their beneficial effects predominantly through heart rat...

Long-term prognosis after cardiac resynchronization therapy is related to the extent of left ventricular reverse remodeling at midterm follow-up.
Ypenburg C, van Bommel RJ, Borleffs CJ, Bleeker GB, Boersma E, Schalij MJ, Bax JJ
Objectives: The aim of the current study was to evaluate the relation between the extent of left ventricular (LV) reverse remodeling and clinical/echocardiographic improvement after 6 months of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) as well as long-term outcome. Background: Despite the current selection criteria, individual response to CRT varies significantly. Furthermore, it has been suggested that reduction in left ventricular end-systolic volume (LVESV) after CRT is related to outcome. Meth...

Paroxysmal tonic upgaze presenting as a clinical isolated syndrome.
Senbil N, Yilmaz D, Yüksel D, Gürer Y
We report a 3.5-year-old boy with sudden onset of episodic upward deviation of the eyes that led to diagnosis of paroxysmal tonic upgaze. Cranial magnetic resonance imaging showed right-hand side dominant bilateral hyperintense lesions in the mesencephalon and the thalamus on T2-weighted images. These lesions suggested a demyelinating pathology. Corticosteroid treatment was started. The episodes of upward eye deviation and the lesions on magnetic resonance imaging completely resolved after 3 day...

Critical role of tissue kallikrein in vessel formation and maturation: implications for therapeutic revascularization.
Stone OA, Richer C, Emanueli C, van Weel V, Quax PH, Katare R, Kraenkel N, Campagnolo P, Barcelos LS, Siragusa M, Sala-Newby GB, Baldessari D, Mione M, Vincent MP, Benest AV, Al Haj Zen A, Gonzalez J, Bates DO, Alhenc-Gelas F, Madeddu P
Objective: Human Tissue Kallikrein (hKLK1) overexpression promotes an enduring neovascularization of ischemic tissue, yet the cellular mechanisms of hKLK1-induced arteriogenesis remain unknown. Furthermore, no previous study has compared the angiogenic potency of hKLK1, with its loss of function polymorphic variant, rs5515 (R53H), which possesses reduced kinin-forming activity. Methods and results: Here, we demonstrate that tissue kallikrein knockout mice (KLK1-/-) show impaired muscle neovascul...

Epigenetic histone acetylation modifiers in vascular remodelling: new targets for therapy in cardiovascular disease.
Pons D, de Vries FR, van den Elsen PJ, Heijmans BT, Quax PH, Jukema JW
Significant progress has been made in the clinical management of a variety of cardiovascular diseases. Nevertheless, the therapeutic efficacy of the current treatment modalities for atherosclerosis and restenosis is not fully sufficient in a large proportion of patients. One of the major contributing factors is the clinical and biological heterogeneity of these still life-threatening diseases, which involve processes that we do not fully understand at the moment. Over the past decades, it has be...
