Five cases of complete atrioventricular block induced by bending forward: unusual but not unique.
Saal DP, Thijs RD, Bootsma M, Brignole M, van Dijk JG
Aims: We describe five patients with syncope caused by a complete atrioventricular block (AVB) while they were bending forward, not rising after bending, and aim to describe the occurrence and the association between bending forward and AVB. Methods and results: In two patients, bending forward was the exclusive trigger for syncope, while in the remaining three, other postural changes (sitting down, standing up, and exertion) could also provoke syncope. Complete AVB as the cause of syncope was d...

Comparative evaluation of coronary disease burden: bicuspid valve disease is not atheroprotective.
Dolmaci OB, Driessen AHG, Klautz RJM, Poelmann R, Lindeman JHN, Grewal N
Objective: Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) has been associated with less atherosclerosis as compared with tricuspid aortic valve (TAV) patients. It, however, remains unclear whether this reflects the older age of TAV patients and/or accumulation of atherosclerotic risk factors or that the BAV phenotype is atheroprotective. Therefore, we compared the atherosclerotic disease burden of BAV and TAV patients, with that of the general (age-matched) population. Methods: The prevalence of coronary artery di...

Towards Patient Centred Outcomes for Elective Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Repair: A Scoping Review of Quality of Life Scales.
Bulder RMA, Hamming JF, van Schaik J, Lindeman JHN
Objective: In order to better incorporate the patient's perspective in medical decision making, core outcome sets (COS) are being defined. In the field of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), efforts to capture the patient's perspective focus on generic quantitative quality of life (QoL) scales. The question arises whether these quantitative scales adequately reflect the patient's perspective on QoL, and whether they can be included in the QoL aspect of COS. A scoping review of QoL as...

Echocardiography-derived total atrial conduction time (PA-TDI duration): risk stratification and guidance in atrial fibrillation management.
Müller P, Weijs B, Bemelmans NMAA, Mügge A, Eckardt L, Crijns HJGM, Bax JJ, Linz D, den Uijl DW
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a major cause of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. To early detect and to avoid AF-related complications, several cardiac imaging modalities and approaches aim to quantify the severity of the underlying atrial cardiomyopathy (i.e., the extent of atrial remodeling). However, most established cardiac imaging modalities just incorporate single components of atrial remodeling and do not reflect the complete multifactorial process, which may contribute to their limit...

Why Test Purchased Cattle in BVDV Control Programs?
Van Duijn L, Santman-Berends I, Biesheuvel M, Mars J, Waldeck F, van Schaik G
Bovine viral diarrhea (BVD) is controlled in many countries by detection and culling of persistently infected (PI) animals. The most important risk factor for BVDV introduction is purchase. An introduced cow can be PI and transmit the virus to other cattle in the herd. If she is not PI but is pregnant, there is still a risk because the subsequently born calf may be PI, when she encountered the virus in early pregnancy. To control this risk, all cows > 1 year from non-BVDV-free herds that are...

An overview of the current clinical status of optical imaging in head and neck cancer with a focus on Narrow Band imaging and fluorescence optical imaging.
van Schaik JE, Halmos GB, Witjes MJH, Plaat BEC
Early and accurate identification of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is important to improve treatment outcomes and prognosis. New optical imaging techniques may assist in both the diagnostic process as well as in the operative setting by real-time visualization and delineation of tumor. Narrow Band Imaging (NBI) is an endoscopic technique that uses blue and green light to enhance mucosal and submucosal blood vessels, leading to better detection of (pre)malignant lesions showing ab...

PFKFB3 gene deletion in endothelial cells inhibits intraplaque angiogenesis and lesion formation in a murine model of venous bypass grafting.
Perrotta P, de Vries MR, Peeters B, Guns PJ, De Meyer GRY, Quax PHA, Martinet W
Vein grafting is a frequently used surgical intervention for cardiac revascularization. However, vein grafts display regions with intraplaque (IP) angiogenesis, which promotes atherogenesis and formation of unstable plaques. Graft neovessels are mainly composed of endothelial cells (ECs) that largely depend on glycolysis for migration and proliferation. In the present study, we aimed to investigate whether loss of the glycolytic flux enzyme phosphofructokinase-2/fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase 3 (PF...
