Frequency of left ventricular dyssynchrony in patients with heart failure and a narrow QRS complex.
Bleeker GB, Schalij MJ, Molhoek SG, Holman ER, Verwey HF, Steendijk P, van der Wall EE, Bax JJ
Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is considered a major advance in the treatment of patients with heart failure. The presence of left ventricular (LV) dyssynchrony seems mandatory for a positive response to CRT. Currently, only patients with wide QRS complexes are considered for CRT, although patients with narrow QRS complexes may also have LV dyssynchrony. In the present study, the incidence of LV dyssynchrony was prospectively evaluated in 64 patients with heart failure and narrow QRS co...

CONCOR, an initiative towards a national registry and DNA-bank of patients with congenital heart disease in the Netherlands: rationale, design, and first results.
van der Velde ET, Vriend JW, Mannens MM, Uiterwaal CS, Brand R, Mulder BJ
Introduction: Survival of patients with congenital heart disease has dramatically improved after surgical repair became available 40 years ago. Instead of a mortality of 85% during childhood following the natural course, over 85% of these infants are now expected to reach adulthood. However, data on long-term outcome is scarce due to the lack of large, national registries. Moreover, little is known about the genetic basis of congenital heart defects. In 2000, the Interuniversity Cardiology Insti...

Angiotensin AT2 receptor deficiency after myocardial infarction: its effects on cardiac function and fibrosis depend on the stimulus.
Tschöpe C, Westermann D, Dhayat N, Dhayat S, Altmann C, Steendijk P, Schultheiss HP, Walther T
Hearts of normotensive angiotensin II type 2 receptor (AT2)-deficient mice do not develop fibrosis after angiotensin II-induced chronic hypertension. Thus, the goal of our study was to clarify whether AT2 knockouts (KOs) are also characterized by altered left ventricular (LV) function and modified remodeling of the extracellular matrix (ECM) after induction of myocardial infarction (MI). MI was induced in 5-mo-old female AT2-deficient mice and controls by occlusion of the left coronary artery. T...
