LDL cholesterol still a problem in old age? A Mendelian randomization study.
Postmus I, Deelen J, Sedaghat S, Trompet S, de Craen AJ, Heijmans BT, Franco OH, Hofman A, Dehghan A, Slagboom PE, Westendorp RG, Jukema JW
Background: Observational studies in older subjects have shown no or inverse associations between cholesterol levels and mortality. However, in old age plasma low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) may not reflect the lifetime level due to reverse causality, and hence the risk may be underestimated. In the current study, we used an LDL genetic risk score (GRS) to overcome this problem. Methods: A weighted GRS was created using 51 single nucleotide polymorphisms associated with LDL-C levels....

Isolated right subclavian artery with interrupted aortic arch, ventricular septal defect, and left ventricular outflow tract obstruction.
Te Hoven AS, Clur SA, Andreu JP, Hazekamp MG
We present two cases of isolated right subclavian artery from the right pulmonary artery (PA) associated with interrupted aortic arch, ventricular septal defect, left ventricular outflow tract obstruction, and 22q11 microdeletion. Both patients were successfully managed with bilateral PA banding initially followed by a modified Yasui operation. Isolation of the subclavian artery is rare but should always be taken into account, especially when bilateral PA banding is considered. The banding must...

Severe tricuspid regurgitation is predictive for adverse events in tetralogy of Fallot.
Bokma JP, Winter MM, Oosterhof T, Vliegen HW, van Dijk AP, Hazekamp MG, Koolbergen DR, Groenink M, Mulder BJ, Bouma BJ
Objective: Patients with surgically repaired tetralogy of Fallot (rTOF) may develop functional tricuspid regurgitation (TR) due to annulus dilation. Guidelines suggest pulmonary valve replacement (PVR) in patients with rTOF with progressive TR, but data on clinical outcomes are lacking. Our objective was to determine whether TR was predictive for adverse events after PVR. Methods: In this retrospective, multicenter cohort study, patients with rTOF who had undergone PVR after preoperative echocar...

The Post-Myocardial Infarction Pacing Remodeling Prevention Therapy (PRomPT) Trial: Design and Rationale.
Chung ES, Fischer TM, Kueffer F, Anand IS, Bax JJ, Gold MR, Gorman RC, Theres H, Udelson JE, Stancak B, Svendsen JH, Stone GW, Leon A
Background: Despite considerable improvements in the medical management of patients with myocardial infarction (MI), patients with large MI still have substantial risk of developing heart failure. In the early post-MI setting, implantable cardioverter defibrillators have reduced arrhythmic deaths but have no impact on overall mortality. Therefore, additional interventions are required to further reduce the overall morbidity and mortality of patients with large MI. Methods: The Pacing Remodeling...

Variants associated with blood lipid levels may be population-specific. To identify low-frequency variants associated with this phenotype, population-specific reference panels may be used. Here we impute nine large Dutch biobanks (~35,000 samples) with the population-specific reference panel created by the Genome of The Netherlands Project and perform association testing with blood lipid levels. We report the discovery of five novel associations at four loci (P value

The sinus venosus myocardium contributes to the atrioventricular canal: potential role during atrioventricular node development?
Kelder TP, Vicente-Steijn R, Harryvan TJ, Kosmidis G, Gittenberger-de Groot AC, Poelmann RE, Schalij MJ, DeRuiter MC, Jongbloed MR
The presence of distinct electrophysiological pathways within the atrioventricular node (AVN) is a prerequisite for atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia to occur. In this study, the different cell contributions that may account for the anatomical and functional heterogeneity of the AVN were investigated. To study the temporal development of the AVN, the expression pattern of ISL1, expressed in cardiac progenitor cells, was studied in sequential stages performing co-staining with myocardi...

The Muller F element (4.2 Mb, ~80 protein-coding genes) is an unusual autosome of Drosophila melanogaster; it is mostly heterochromatic with a low recombination rate. To investigate how these properties impact the evolution of repeats and genes, we manually improved the sequence and annotated the genes on the D. erecta, D. mojavensis, and D. grimshawi F elements and euchromatic domains from the Muller D element. We find that F elements have greater transposon density (25-50%) than euchromatic re...
