Development and clinical consequences of white matter lesions in Fabry disease: a systematic review.
Körver S, Vergouwe M, Hollak CEM, van Schaik IN, Langeveld M
Background: Fabry disease (FD) is a rare lysosomal storage disorder that might result in, amongst other complications, early stroke and white matter lesions (WMLs). More insight in WMLs in FD could clarify the role of WMLs in the disease presentation and prognosis in FD. In this systematic review we assessed the prevalence, severity, location and course of WMLs in FD. We also systematically reviewed the evidence on the relation between WMLs, disease characteristics and clinical parameters. Metho...

Association of Left Ventricular Global Longitudinal Strain With Asymptomatic Severe Aortic Stenosis: Natural Course and Prognostic Value.
Vollema EM, Sugimoto T, Shen M, Tastet L, Ng ACT, Abou R, Marsan NA, Mertens B, Dulgheru R, Lancellotti P, Clavel MA, Pibarot P, Genereux P, Leon MB, Delgado V, Bax JJ
Importance: The optimal timing to operate in patients with asymptomatic severe aortic stenosis (AS) remains controversial. Left ventricular global longitudinal strain (LV GLS) may help to identify patients who might benefit from undergoing earlier aortic valve replacement. Objective: To investigate the prevalence of impaired LV GLS, the natural course of LV GLS, and its prognostic implications in patients with asymptomatic severe AS with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). Desig...

Knuuti J, Ballo H, Juarez-Orozco LE, Saraste A, Kolh P, Rutjes AWS, Jüni P, Windecker S, Bax JJ, Wijns W
Aims: To determine the ranges of pre-test probability (PTP) of coronary artery disease (CAD) in which stress electrocardiogram (ECG), stress echocardiography, coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA), single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), positron emission tomography (PET), and cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) can reclassify patients into a post-test probability that defines (>85%) or excludes (100 patients with stable CAD that utilized either ICA or ICA with FFR measurem...

Application of left ventricular strain in patients with aortic and mitral valve disease.
Ng ACT, Delgado V, Bax JJ
Purpose of review: Left ventricular (LV) global longitudinal strain (GLS) is widely recognized as a more sensitive measure of LV systolic function compared with LV ejection fraction (LVEF). In addition, the measurement of LVGLS is more reproducible than two-dimensional LVEF. Current guidelines for diagnosis and treatment of valvular heart disease include LVEF as one of the parameters to take into consideration in the clinical decision-making. However, a large body of evidence is showing that LVG...

Nicholls SJ, Puri R, Ballantyne CM, Jukema JW, Kastelein JJP, Koenig W, Wright RS, Kallend D, Wijngaard P, Borgman M, Wolski K, Nissen SE
Importance: Infusing a high-density lipoprotein mimetic containing apolipoprotein A-I Milano demonstrated potential atheroma regression in patients following an acute coronary syndrome. To our knowledge, the effect of infusing a new mimetic preparation (MDCO-216) with contemporary statin therapy is unknown.

Aortopexy for the treatment of tracheobronchomalacia in 100 children: a 10-year single-centre experience.
Rijnberg FM, Butler CR, Bieli C, Kumar S, Nouraei R, Asto J, McKavanagh E, de Coppi P, Muthialu N, Elliott MJ, Hewitt RJ
Objectives: Our study describes and analyses the results from aortopexy for the treatment of airway malacia in children. Methods: Demographic data, characteristics and preoperative, operative and outcome details, including the need for reintervention, were collected for children undergoing aortopexy between 2006 and 2016. Results: One hundred patients [median age 8.2 months, interquartile range (IQR) 3.3-26.0 months] underwent aortopexy. Sixty-four (64%) patients had tracheomalacia (TM) only, 24...

Payoff- and Sex-Biased Social Learning Interact in a Wild Primate Population.
Bono AEJ, Whiten A, van Schaik C, Krützen M, Eichenberger F, Schnider A, van de Waal E
Social learning in animals is now well documented, but few studies have determined the contexts shaping when social learning is deployed. Theoretical studies predict copying of conspecifics gaining higher payoffs [1-4], a bias demonstrated in primates only in captivity [5]. In the wild, research has shown selective attention toward the philopatric sex, a group's stable core [6]. Here, we report the first rigorous experimental test of the existence of a payoff bias in wild primates and its i...

Background: Hepatic membrane transporters are involved in the transport of many endogenous and exogenous compounds, including drugs. We aimed to study the relation of age with absolute transporter protein expression in a cohort of 62 mainly fetus and newborn samples. Methods: Protein expressions of BCRP, BSEP, GLUT1, MCT1, MDR1, MRP1, MRP2, MRP3, NTCP, OCT1, OATP1B1, OATP1B3, OATP2B1 and ATP1A1 were quantified with LC-MS/MS in isolated crude membrane fractions of snap-frozen post-mortem fetal an...

Ventricular Tachycardia Ablation in Nonischemic Cardiomyopathy.
Zeppenfeld K
Catheter ablation is being increasingly performed as adjunctive treatment to prevent recurrent implantable cardioverter-defibrillator therapies in patients with nonischemic cardiomyopathy and ventricular tachycardia (VT). In the context of VT ablation, nonischemic cardiomyopathy usually refers to dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) as one morphological phenotype. Over the past decades, progress has been made to better characterize distinct subtypes and to differentiate between causes of DCM, which has...

Excessive leaflet tissue in mitral valve repair for isolated posterior leaflet prolapse-leaflet resection or shortening neochords? A propensity score adjusted comparison.
Tomšič A, Hiemstra YL, van Brakel TJ, Versteegh MI, Ajmone Marsan N, Klautz RJ, Palmen M
Background: Chordal replacement techniques are progressively used to treat posterior mitral valve leaflet (PMVL) prolapse while leaflet resection remains commonly in use to address excessive leaflet tissue. For excessive tissue in height, shortening neochords can be used alternatively. Use of chordal replacement techniques has been suggested to result in lower diastolic transvalvular gradients, higher freedom from reoperation and improved left ventricular function. Methods: From 1/2005 to 12/201...

Noninvasive Identification of Ventricular Tachycardia-Related Anatomical Isthmuses in Repaired Tetralogy of Fallot: What Is the Role of the 12-Lead Ventricular Tachycardia Electrocardiogram.
Brouwer C, Kapel GFL, Jongbloed MRM, Schalij MJ, de Riva Silva M, Zeppenfeld K
Objectives: This study sought to evaluate the relation between 12-lead ventricular tachycardia (VT) electrocardiography (ECG) and VT-related anatomical isthmuses (AIs) in repaired tetralogy of Fallot (rTOF). Background: Slow-conducting AIs are the dominant VT substrate in rTOF. Whether an AI is considered critical relies on pace mapping (PM) guided by the VT ECG. Methods: VT ECGs, electroanatomical mapping data and PM results were analyzed in 25 rTOF patients (group 1) (age 57 ± 13 years). Selec...

Breaking Liebig's Law: An Advanced Multipurpose Neuromorphic Engine.
Wang R, van Schaik A
We present a massively-parallel scalable multi-purpose neuromorphic engine. All existing neuromorphic hardware systems suffer from Liebig's law (that the performance of the system is limited by the component in shortest supply) as they have fixed numbers of dedicated neurons and synapses for specific types of plasticity. For any application, it is always the availability of one of these components that limits the size of the model, leaving the others unused. To overcome this problem, our en...

Narula N, Dannenberg AJ, Olin JW, Bhatt DL, Johnson KW, Nadkarni G, Min J, Torii S, Poojary P, Anand SS, Bax JJ, Yusuf S, Virmani R, Narula J
Background: Critical limb ischemia (CLI) is the most serious complication of peripheral artery disease (PAD). Objectives: The purpose of this study was to characterize pathology of PAD in below- and above-knee amputation specimens in patients presenting with CLI. Methods: Peripheral arteries from 95 patients (121 amputation specimens) were examined; 75 patients had presented with CLI, and the remaining 20 had amputations performed for other reasons. The pathological characteristics were separate...
