JACC. Clinical electrophysiology, Volume 8, Issue 10, 28 4 2022, Pages 1234-1245 Ventricular Arrhythmia Substrate Distribution and Its Relation to Sympathetic Innervation in Nonischemic Cardiomyopathy Patients. Chen HS, Jungen C, Kimura Y, Dibbets-Schneider P, Piers SR, Androulakis AFA, van der Geest RJ, de Geus-Oei LF, Scholte AJHA, Lamb HJ, Jongbloed MRM, Zeppenfeld K
Background: Nonischemic cardiomyopathy patients referred for catheter ablation of ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) typically have either inferolateral (ILS) or anteroseptal (ASS) VA substrate locations, with poorer outcomes for ASS. Sympathetic denervation is an important determinant of arrhythmogenicity. Its relation to nonischemic fibrosis in general and to the different VA substrates is unknown. Objectives: This study sought to evaluate the association between VA substrates, myocardial fibrosis,... Abstract

Cardiovascular pathology : the official journal of the Society for Cardiovascular Pathology, Volume 62, 23 4 2022, Pages 107478 Structural abnormalities in the non-dilated ascending aortic wall of bicuspid aortic valve patients. Grewal N, Girdauskas E, Idhrees M, Velayudhan B, Klautz R, Driessen A, Poelmann RE
Background: A bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is the most common congenital cardiac malformation. The development of the aortic valve is closely related to the development of the ascending aorta, associated with structural differences in the bicuspid aorta. Here we describe the non-dilated ascending aortic wall in bicuspid aortic valve patients. Methods: BAV (n=41) and tricuspid aortic valve (TAV) (n=18) non-dilated ascending aortic wall samples were studied. We investigated the following features o... Abstract

Circulation. Cardiovascular interventions, Volume 15, Issue 9, 20 3 2022, Pages e011958 Atrial Functional Tricuspid Regurgitation: Novel Definition and Impact on Prognosis. Schlotter F, Dietz MF, Stolz L, Kresoja KP, Besler C, Sannino A, Rommel KP, Unterhuber M, von Roeder M, Delgado V, Thiele H, Hausleiter J, Bax JJ, Lurz P
Background: Atrial functional tricuspid regurgitation (atrial TR) has received growing recognition as a TR entity with a distinct cause owing to its independence from valvular tethering as the predominant mechanism underlying TR. However, characterization of atrial TR varies, and a universal definition is lacking. Methods: In total, 651 patients with significant functional TR were analyzed, including 438 conservatively treated individuals and 213 patients who received transcatheter tricuspid val... Abstract

BMJ open, Volume 12, Issue 9, 19 3 2022, Pages e061337 Prevention of vasoplegia with CytoSorb in heart failure patients undergoing cardiac surgery (CytoSorb-HF trial): protocol for a randomised controlled trial. Papazisi O, Bruggemans EF, Berendsen RR, Hugo JDV, Lindeman JHN, Beeres SLMA, Arbous MS, van den Hout WB, Mertens BJA, Ince C, Klautz RJM, Palmen M
Introduction: Vasoplegia is a common complication after cardiac surgery and is associated with poor prognosis. It is characterised by refractory hypotension despite normal or even increased cardiac output. The pathophysiology is complex and includes the systemic inflammatory response caused by cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and surgical trauma. Patients with end-stage heart failure (HF) are at increased risk for developing vasoplegia. The CytoSorb adsorber is a relatively new haemoadsorption devic... Abstract

Molecular therapy. Nucleic acids, Volume 30, 17 3 2022, Pages 162-172 C/D box snoRNA SNORD113-6 guides 2'-O-methylation and protects against site-specific fragmentation of tRNA<sup>Leu</sup>(TAA) in vascular remodeling. van Ingen E, Engbers PAM, Woudenberg T, van der Bent ML, Mei H, Wojta J, Quax PHA, Nossent AY
C/D box small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) of the DLK1-DIO3 locus are associated with vascular remodeling and cardiovascular disease. None of these snoRNAs has any known targets yet except for one, AF357425/SNORD113-6. We previously showed that this snoRNA targets mRNAs of the integrin signaling pathway and affects arterial fibroblast function. Here, we aimed to identify whether AF357425/SNORD113-6 can also target small RNAs. We overexpressed or inhibited AF357425 in murine fibroblasts and performed... Abstract

Human hypercooperativity and the emergence of division of labor enables us to solve problems not only effectively within a group but also collectively. Collective problem-solving occurs when groups perform better than the additive performance of separate individuals. Currently, it is unknown whether this is unique to humans. To investigate the evolutionary origin of collective problem-solving and potential precursors, we propose a continuum of group effects on problem-solving, from simple to com... Abstract
