Predictors and prognosis of right ventricular function in pulmonary hypertension due to heart failure with reduced ejection fraction.
Schmeißer A, Rauwolf T, Groscheck T, Fischbach K, Kropf S, Luani B, Tanev I, Hansen M, Meißler S, Schäfer K, Steendijk P, Braun-Dullaeus RC
Aims: Failure of right ventricular (RV) function worsens outcome in pulmonary hypertension (PH). The adaptation of RV contractility to afterload, the RV-pulmonary artery (PA) coupling, is defined by the ratio of RV end-systolic to PA elastances (Ees/Ea). Using pressure-volume loop (PV-L) technique we aimed to identify an Ees/Ea cut-off predictive for overall survival and to assess hemodynamic and morphologic conditions for adapted RV function in secondary PH due to heart failure with reduced eje...

Multimodality imaging in valvular heart disease: how to use state-of-the-art technology in daily practice.
Reid A, Blanke P, Bax JJ, Leipsic J
Our understanding of the complexities of valvular heart disease (VHD) has evolved in recent years, primarily because of the increased use of multimodality imaging (MMI). Whilst echocardiography remains the primary imaging technique, the contemporary evaluation of patients with VHD requires comprehensive analysis of the mechanism of valvular dysfunction, accurate quantification of severity, and active exclusion extravalvular consequences. Furthermore, advances in surgical and percutaneous therapi...

Repair of traumatic avulsion of the right bronchus in children using extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support.
Ricciardi G, Putman LM, Hazekamp MG
Traumatic avulsion of the right main bronchus in children is usually caused by blunt trauma or traffic accidents. Primary repair by suturing is the preferred treatment. Lesions are life threatening and urgent or emergency surgical repair is indicated. We report our experience with 2 cases of traumatic avulsion of right bronchus in children successfully suture repaired with the use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.

Endoglin/CD105-Based Imaging of Cancer and Cardiovascular Diseases: A Systematic Review.
Sier VQ, van der Vorst JR, Quax PHA, de Vries MR, Zonoobi E, Vahrmeijer AL, Dekkers IA, de Geus-Oei LF, Smits AM, Cai W, Sier CFM, Goumans MJTH, Hawinkels LJAC
Molecular imaging of pathologic lesions can improve efficient detection of cancer and cardiovascular diseases. A shared pathophysiological feature is angiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels. Endoglin (CD105) is a coreceptor for ligands of the Transforming Growth Factor-β (TGF-β) family and is highly expressed on angiogenic endothelial cells. Therefore, endoglin-based imaging has been explored to visualize lesions of the aforementioned diseases. This systematic review highlights the prog...

Post-ischemic Myocardial Inflammatory Response: A Complex and Dynamic Process Susceptible to Immunomodulatory Therapies.
Pluijmert NJ, Atsma DE, Quax PHA
Following acute occlusion of a coronary artery causing myocardial ischemia and implementing first-line treatment involving rapid reperfusion, a dynamic and balanced inflammatory response is initiated to repair and remove damaged cells. Paradoxically, restoration of myocardial blood flow exacerbates cell damage as a result of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (MI-R) injury, which eventually provokes accelerated apoptosis. In the end, the infarct size still corresponds to the subsequent risk of deve...
