Successful hybrid cardiac resynchronization therapy in a patient with failing systemic right ventricle and significant tricuspid regurgitation in transposition of the great arteries after atrial switch procedure according to Mustard.
Nederend M, Zeppenfeld K, Jongbloed MRM, Egorova AD
Background: Patients with a systemic right ventricle (sRV) in the context of transposition of the great arteries (TGA) late after atrial switch are prone to heart failure. Complications like tricuspid valve regurgitation (TR) can further aggravate sRV dysfunction. Tricuspid valve regurgitation is usually secondary to annular dilatation and restriction. Criteria for cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) in this patient group are not well defined and should be considered on a case-by-case basis....

The Intriguing Role of TLR Accessory Molecules in Cardiovascular Health and Disease.
Bezhaeva T, Karper J, Quax PHA, de Vries MR
Activation of Toll like receptors (TLR) plays an important role in cardiovascular disease development, progression and outcomes. Complex TLR mediated signaling affects vascular and cardiac function including tissue remodeling and repair. Being central components of both innate and adaptive arms of the immune system, TLRs interact as pattern recognition receptors with a series of exogenous ligands and endogenous molecules or so-called danger associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) that are released...

Prevalence and circulation patterns of SARS-CoV-2 variants in European sewage mirror clinical data of 54 European cities.
Agrawal S, Orschler L, Schubert S, Zachmann K, Heijnen L, Tavazzi S, Gawlik BM, de Graaf M, Medema G, Lackner S
For community-level monitoring, the European Commission under the EU Sewage Sentinel System recommends wastewater-based SARS-CoV-2 surveillance. Tracking SARS-CoV-2 variants in a community is pivotal for appropriate public health response. Genome sequencing of SARS-CoV-2 in wastewater samples for tracking variants is challenging, often resulting in low coverage genome sequences, thereby impeding the detection of the SARS-CoV-2 mutations. Therefore, we aimed at high-coverage SARS-CoV-2 genome seq...

Interfering in the ALK1 Pathway Results in Macrophage-Driven Outward Remodeling of Murine Vein Grafts.
de Jong A, Sier VQ, Peters HAB, Schilder NKM, Jukema JW, Goumans MJTH, Quax PHA, de Vries MR
Aims: Vein grafts are frequently used to bypass coronary artery occlusions. Unfortunately, vein graft disease (VGD) causes impaired patency rates. ALK1 mediates signaling by TGF-β via TGFβR2 or BMP9/10 via BMPR2, which is an important pathway in fibrotic, inflammatory, and angiogenic processes in vascular diseases. The role of the TGF-β pathway in VGD is previously reported, however, the contribution of ALK1 signaling is not known. Therefore, we investigated ALK1 signaling in VGD in a mouse mode...

The Leiden Convention coronary coding system: translation from the surgical to the universal view.
Koppel CJ, Vliegen HW, Bökenkamp R, Ten Harkel ADJ, Kiès P, Egorova AD, Jukema JW, Hazekamp MG, Schalij MJ, Gittenberger-de Groot AC, Jongbloed MRM
Aims: The Leiden Convention coronary coding system structures the large variety of coronary anatomical patterns; isolated and in congenital heart disease. It is widely used by surgeons but not by cardiologists as the system uses a surgeons' cranial view. Since thoracic surgeons and cardiologists work closely together, a coronary coding system practical for both disciplines is mandatory. To this purpose, the 'surgical' coronary coding system was adapted to an 'imaging' sy...
