Extent of Coronary Artery Disease in Patients With Stenotic Bicuspid Versus Tricuspid Aortic Valves.
Dolmaci OB, Legué J, Lindeman JHN, Driessen AHG, Klautz RJM, Van Brakel TJ, Siebelink HJ, Mertens BJA, Poelmann RE, Gittenberger-de Groot AC, Grewal N
Background Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is the most common congenital cardiac malformation, which is often complicated by aortic valve stenosis (AoS). In tricuspid aortic valve (TAV), AoS strongly associates with coronary artery disease (CAD) with common pathophysiological factors. Yet, it remains unclear whether AoS in patients with BAV is also associated with CAD. This study investigated the association between the aortic valve morphological features and the extent of CAD. Methods and Results A...

Discordant severity criteria in patients with moderate aortic stenosis: prognostic implications.
Pio SM, Amanullah MR, Butcher SC, Sin KY, Ajmone Marsan N, Pibarot P, Van Mieghem NM, Ding ZP, Généreux P, Leon MB, Ewe SH, Delgado V, Bax JJ
Background: The criteria to define the grade of aortic stenosis (AS)-aortic valve area (AVA) and mean gradient (MG) or peak jet velocity-do not always coincide into one grade. Although in severe AS, this discrepancy is well characterised, in moderate AS, the phenomenon of discordant grading has not been investigated and its prognostic implications are unknown. Objectives: To investigate the occurrence of discordant grading in patients with moderate AS (defined by an AVA between 1.0 cm² and 1.5 c...

Bone Material Strength Index as Measured by Impact Microindentation is Low in Patients with Primary Hyperparathyroidism.
Schoeb M, Winter EM, Sleddering MA, Lips MA, Schepers A, Snel M, Appelman-Dijkstra NM
Context: In primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) bone mineral density (BMD) is typically decreased in cortical bone and relatively preserved in trabecular bone. An increased fracture rate is observed however not only at peripheral sites but also at the spine, and fractures occur at higher BMD values than expected. We hypothesized that components of bone quality other than BMD are affected in PHPT as well. Objective: To evaluate bone material properties using impact microindentation (IMI) in PHPT p...

Immune checkpoint inhibitor treatment and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease: an emerging clinical problem.
Poels K, Neppelenbroek SIM, Kersten MJ, Antoni ML, Lutgens E, Seijkens TTP
Antibody-mediated blockade of co-inhibitory molecules such as cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated protein 4, PD1 and PDL1 elicits potent antitumor responses and improves the prognosis of many patients with cancer. As these immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are increasingly prescribed to a diverse patient population, a broad range of adverse effects is emerging. Atherosclerosis, a lipid-driven chronic inflammatory disease of the large arteries, may be aggravated by ICI treatment. In this review,...

Moderate Aortic Stenosis in Patients With Heart Failure and Reduced Ejection Fraction.
Jean G, Van Mieghem NM, Gegenava T, van Gils L, Bernard J, Geleijnse ML, Vollema EM, El Azzouzi I, Spitzer E, Delgado V, Bax JJ, Pibarot P, Clavel MA
Background: The study investigators previously reported that moderate aortic stenosis (AS) is associated with a poor prognosis in patients with heart failure (HF) with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) (HFrEF). However, the respective contribution of moderate AS versus HFrEF to the outcomes of these patients is unknown. Objectives: This study sought to determine the impact of moderate AS on outcomes in patients with HFrEF. Methods: The study included 262 patients with moderate AS...

Glycemic traits are used to diagnose and monitor type 2 diabetes and cardiometabolic health. To date, most genetic studies of glycemic traits have focused on individuals of European ancestry. Here we aggregated genome-wide association studies comprising up to 281,416 individuals without diabetes (30% non-European ancestry) for whom fasting glucose, 2-h glucose after an oral glucose challenge, glycated hemoglobin and fasting insulin data were available. Trans-ancestry and single-ancestry meta-ana...

Endobronchial ultrasound for T4 staging in patients with resectable NSCLC.
Kuijvenhoven JC, Livi V, Szlubowski A, Ninaber M, Stöger JL, Widya RL, Bonta PI, Crombag LC, Braun J, van Boven WJ, Trisolini R, Korevaar DA, Annema JT
Background: In lung cancer patients, accurate assessment of mediastinal and vascular tumor invasion (stage T4) is crucial for optimal treatment allocation and to prevent unnecessary thoracotomies. We assessed the diagnostic accuracy of linear endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) for T4-status in patients with centrally located lung cancer. Methods: This is a retrospective study among consecutive patients who underwent EBUS for diagnosis and staging of lung cancer in four hospitals in The Netherlands...

Reduced quality of life in ICU survivors - the story behind the numbers: A mixed methods study.
Geense WW, de Graaf M, Vermeulen H, van der Hoeven J, Zegers M, van den Boogaard M
Purpose: To gain insight into the daily functioning of ICU survivors who reported a reduced quality of life (QoL) one year after ICU admission. Materials and methods: A two-phase mixed method study design. QoL was assessed using the SF-36 questionnaire before admission and after one year (Phase 1). Participants reporting a reduced QoL were invited for an in-depth interview (Phase 2). Interview data were coded thematically using the PROMIS framework. Results: Of the 797 participants, 173 (22%) re...

Levothyroxine Treatment and Cardiovascular Outcomes in Older People With Subclinical Hypothyroidism: Pooled Individual Results of Two Randomised Controlled Trials.
Zijlstra LE, Jukema JW, Westendorp RGJ, Du Puy RS, Poortvliet RKE, Kearney PM, O'Keeffe L, Dekkers OM, Blum MR, Rodondi N, Collet TH, Quinn TJ, Sattar N, Stott DJ, Trompet S, den Elzen WPJ, Gussekloo J, Mooijaart SP
Background: The cardiovascular effects of treating older adults with subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) are uncertain. Although concerns have been raised regarding a potential increase in cardiovascular side effects from thyroid hormone replacement, undertreatment may also increase the risk of cardiovascular events, especially for patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD). Objective: To determine the effects of levothyroxine treatment on cardiovascular outcomes in older adults with SCH. Methods:...

Stakeholder Values and Preferences in Lower Limb Amputation for No-Option Chronic Limb Threatening Ischemia.
Nieuwstraten JA, van Doorn LP, Gebhardt WA, Hamming JF
Purpose: This study focusses on identifying values and preferences of patients, caregivers and healthcare professionals who have dealt with lower limb amputation for no-option chronic limb threatening ischemia. No-option chronic limb threatening ischemia is defined as limb ischemia for which no treatment options exist and where lower limb amputation is necessary in the short term. The values and preferences identified in this study can help improve decision-making processes. Patients and methods...

Prognostic Implications of Associated Cardiac Abnormalities Detected on Echocardiography in Patients With Moderate Aortic Stenosis.
Amanullah MR, Pio SM, Ng ACT, Sin KYK, Marsan NA, Ding ZP, Leon MB, Généreux P, Delgado V, Ewe SH, Bax JJ
Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence and prognostic value of the extent of extra-aortic valvular cardiac abnormalities in a large multicenter registry of patients with moderate AS. Background: The prognostic significance of a new classification system that incorporates the extent of cardiac injury (beyond the aortic valve) has been proposed in patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS). Whether this can be applied to patients with moderate AS is unclear. Methods: Based on the e...

A luciferase-based approach for measuring HBGA blockade antibody titers against human norovirus.
van Loben Sels JM, Meredith LW, Sosnovtsev SV, de Graaf M, Koopmans MPG, Lindesmith LC, Baric RS, Green KY, Goodfellow IG
Background: Noroviruses are the most common cause of viral gastroenteritis worldwide, yet there is a deficit in the understanding of protective immunity. Surrogate neutralization assays have been widely used that measure the ability of antibodies to block virus-like particle (VLP) binding to histo-blood group antigens (HBGAs). However, screening large sample sets against multiple antigens using the traditional HBGA blocking assay requires significant investment in terms of time, equipment, and t...
