European heart journal, Volume 17, Issue 8, 1 1 1996, Pages 1271-1278 Cardiac anatomy, function and metabolism in elite cyclists assessed by magnetic resonance imaging and spectroscopy. Pluim BM, Chin JC, De Roos A, Doornbos J, Siebelink HM, Van der Laarse A, Vliegen HW, Lamerichs RM, Bruschke AV, Van der Wall EE

We investigated whether left ventricular hypertrophy in elite cyclists is associated with functional changes or abnormal energy metabolism. Left ventricular hypertrophy is a powerful risk factor for sudden cardiac death with different prognostic significance among the various geometric forms. Cyclists may have a combination of mixed eccentric and concentric hypertrophy. Magnetic resonance imaging was used to define left ventricular mass, geometry and function. Thirteen highly trained male cyclis... Abstract

Surgical endoscopy, Volume 10, Issue 7, 1 1 1996, Pages 721-723 Advantages of limited thoracoscopic sympathectomy. Bonjer HJ, Hamming JF, du Bois NAJJ, van Urk H

Background: Thoracoscopic resection of the first through the fourth thoracic sympathetic ganglion for palmary and axillary hyperhidrosis and Raynaud's syndrome is associated with a high initial success rate. However, the reported incidence of compensatory hyperhidrosis of the trunk and legs and Horner's syndrome are high. This study assesses the results of thoracoscopic sympathectomy limited to transection of the interganglionic trunk or resection of one or two thoracic ganglia. Method... Abstract

Angiology, Volume 47, Issue 7, 1 1 1996, Pages 633-642 The influence of angiographic endpoints on the outcome of lipid intervention studies. A proposal for standardization. REGRESS study group. Jukema JW, van Boven AJ, Zinderman AH, Bal ET, Reiber JH, Bruschke AV

The aims of this study were to evaluate the influence of different coronary angiographic endpoints on the outcome of lipid intervention studies and to formulate a proposal for angiographic endpoint standardization. In recent angiographic intervention studies a confusing diversity in angiographic endpoints has been used to determine the outcome. In addition, differences in study populations (eg, bypass patients included or not) could influence results. This makes comparisons between studies cumbe... Abstract

The Micro stent (MS) is a radiopaque stainless steel balloon expandable intracoronary stent. The stent is mounted on a rapid-exchange delivery system. From August 1994-March 1995, 127 MS were implanted in 85 patients (pts, 1.5 stents/pt, 85 in native vessels and 42 in bypass vein grafts, 61 males and 24 female, age 33-77 yr, mean age 61 +/- 10 yr). Pts studied were scheduled for either elective PTCA (n = 62, 73%) or PTCA for acute myocardial infarction (n = 23, 27%). Elective stent implantation... Abstract

International journal of cardiac imaging, Volume 12, Issue 2, 1 1 1996, Pages 69-78 Left ventricular regression equations from single plane cine and digital X-ray ventriculograms revisited. Reiber JH, Viddeleer AR, Koning G, Schalij MJ, Lange PE

For the assessment of left ventricular volume from X-ray ventriculograms, widely known regression equations are used to correct for the irregular shape of the left ventricular lumen and the presence of the papillary muscles and trabeculations. These regression equations were derived in the late nineteen sixties and seventies. With all the changes in X-ray technology that have taken place over the past 20-30 years, the question was raised whether these regression equations were still valid. There... Abstract

International journal of cardiac imaging, Volume 12, Issue 2, 1 1 1996, Pages 79-83 Imaging of recurrent ventricular septal defect and supravalvular pulmonary stenosis eight years after assumed total surgical repair of tetralogy of Fallot. van Dijkman PR, Voskuil K, Hazekamp MG, van der Wall EE

A 42-year-old man underwent assumed total surgical repair of an acyanotic tetralogy of Fallot: a perimembranous ventricular septal defect (VSD) was closed with a dacron patch and myectomy of the infundibulum of the right ventricular outflow tract was performed. Reexamination eight years later revealed a large recurrent VSD and by surprise a narrow supravalvular ridge above rudimentary pulmonary cusps in the pulmonary trunk, leading to a pressure drop of 70 mmHg across the supravalvular stenosis....

The American journal of physiology, Volume 270, Issue 6 Pt 2, 1 1 1996, Pages H2149-56 Low external pH limits cell death of energy-depleted cardiomyocytes by attenuation of Ca2+ overload. Atsma DE, Bastiaanse EM, Van der Valk L, Van der Laarse A

We studied the effect of external pH (pHe) on cell injury, ATP content, and intracellular concentration of Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i), Na+ ([Na+]i), and H+ (pHi) during metabolic inhibition (NaCN + 2-deoxyglucose) in neonatal rat cardiomyocytes. Cell death during metabolic inhibition decreased at pHe < 7.4, with almost no cell death at pHe 6.0. Lowering pHe resulted in only temporary ATP conservation. During metabolic inhibition at pHe 7.4, [Ca2+]i rose from 86 +/- 44 nM to 2.5 +/- 0.4 microM, but at pHe... Abstract

Virology, Volume 220, Issue 2, 1 1 1996, Pages 367-376 Activation of oriLyt, the lytic origin of DNA replication of Epstein-Barr virus, by BZLF1. Schepers A, Pich D, Hammerschmidt W

oriLyt, the cis-acting element of the lytic origin of DNA replication of Epstein-Barr virus, is activated by the viral transactivator BZLF1 which belongs to the extended bZIP class of transcription factors. Seven binding sites for BZLF1, so-called ZRE sites, are located within oriLyt. By mutational analysis of individual ZRE sites, we found that lytic DNA replication is dependent on only four of these sites which colocate with the promoter of the BHLF1 gene. The remaining three ZRE sites distal... Abstract

A pooled analysis of clinical events within the scope of the Pravastatin Atherosclerosis Intervention Program]. Byington RP, Jukema JW, Salonen JT, Pitt B, Bruschke AV, Hoen H, Furberg CD, Mancini GB

Background: It has been documented that the HMG coenzyme A reductase inhibitors, or statins, can decrease cardiovascular events and mortality in patients with clinical coronary disease and moderately to severely elevated lipid levels. Additional data are required to demonstrate a reduction of vascular events in coronary patients with less than severely elevated lipid levels and in subgroups of this population. Methods and results: Clinical data from four atherosclerosis regression trials that ev... Abstract

Arteriosclerosis, thrombosis, and vascular biology, Volume 16, Issue 3, 1 1 1996, Pages 425-430 Evidence for a synergistic effect of calcium channel blockers with lipid-lowering therapy in retarding progression of coronary atherosclerosis in symptomatic patients with normal to moderately raised cholesterol levels. The REGRESS Study Group. Jukema JW, Zwinderman AH, van Boven AJ, Reiber JH, Van der Laarse A, Lie KI, Bruschke AV

To date, lipid-lowering therapy appears to be the most effective medical intervention to retard progression of coronary atherosclerosis. In spite of promising experimental results, clinical trials completed so far have failed to demonstrate that calcium channel blockers (CCBs) alone influence the evolution of established coronary atherosclerosis. To assess whether the two therapies may have an additive or synergistic beneficial effect on human atherosclerosis, we reviewed in this regard the data... Abstract

To assess the feasibility of and characterize the new paramagnetic contrast agent gadolinium-BOPTA/dimeglumine (Gd-BOPTA) to detect acute myocardial infarctions with MR imaging, 24 patients (53.3 +/- 8.3 yr) were examined 9.3 +/- 3.6 days after a first myocardial infarction. Short-axis T1-weighted and T2-weighted MR imaging was performed at three slice levels. T1-weighted images were obtained before, immediately after, 15, 30, and 45 min after injection. Patients received either 0.05 or 0.1 mmol... Abstract

European journal of applied physiology and occupational physiology, Volume 73, Issue 1-2, 1 1 1996, Pages 113-116 Intravenous instrumentation alters the autonomic state in humans. Bootsma M, Swenne CA, Lenders JW, Jacobs MC, Bruschke AV

Intravascular instrumentation may induce syncope or presyncope. It is not known whether asymptomatic subjects also have autonomic reactions, albeit concealed. We addressed this issue by studying 44 healthy young male subjects of various levels of fitness, ranging from inactivity to athletic [mean maximal oxygen uptake was 49.1 (SD 10.7) ml*kg(-1)*min(-1), range 28.7-71.9 ml*kg(-1)*min(-1)]. The autonomic response to venous cannulation was quantified by measuring heart rate before cannulation (HR... Abstract

Clinical cardiology, Volume 19, Issue 1, 1 1 1996, Pages 62-68 Heart rate variability during repeated incremental head-up tilt discloses time dependence of individual autonomic dynamics. Bootsma M, Swenne CA, Bruschke AV

According to the Rosenblueth-Simeone model, the heart rate (HR) is proportional to the sympathovagal balance. The individual proportionality constant is the intrinsic HR, which can be determined only invasively. The percentage low-frequency spectral HR variability power, relative to the low- plus high-frequency spectral power (%LF) has been raised as a noninvasive alternative. We previously studied young healthy male subjects, in whom gradual autonomic changes were induced by incremental head-up... Abstract
