Automatic detection and quantification of the Agatston coronary artery calcium score on contrast computed tomography angiography.
Ahmed W, de Graaf MA, Broersen A, Kitslaar PH, Oost E, Dijkstra J, Bax JJ, Reiber JH, Scholte AJ
Potentially, Agatston coronary artery calcium (CAC) score could be calculated on contrast computed tomography coronary angiography (CTA). This will make a separate non-contrast CT scan superfluous. This study aims to assess the performance of a novel fully automatic algorithm to detect and quantify the Agatston CAC score in contrast CTA images. From a clinical registry, 20 patients were randomly selected for each CAC category (i.e. 0, 1-99, 100-399, 400-999, ≥1,000). The Agatston CAC score on no...

Imaging the first trimester heart: ultrasound correlation with morphology.
Jansen FA, Calkoen EE, Jongbloed MR, Bartelings MM, Haak MC
First trimester sonography is a widely used technique to examine the foetus early in pregnancy. The desire to recognise complex anatomy already in early developmental stages stresses the need for a thorough knowledge of basic developmental processes as well as recognition of cardiac compartments based on their morphology. In this paper, we describe the possibilities and limitations of sonographic assessment of the foetal heart between 10 and 14 weeks of gestation and correlate this to morphology...

Determinants of right ventricular remodeling following ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction.
Hoogslag GE, Haeck ML, Velders MA, Joyce E, Boden H, Schalij MJ, Bax JJ, Ajmone Marsan N, Delgado V
Right ventricular (RV) function after ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) has important prognostic implications. However, the changes in RV function over time after STEMI and the incidence of RV remodeling remain unknown. The present study evaluated changes in RV dimensions and function in contemporary patients with first STEMI and assessed the independent determinants of RV dysfunction at follow-up. Patients with first STEMI (n = 940, 60 ± 11 years, 77% men) treated with primary...

Insights into new-onset rhythm conduction disorders detected by multi-detector row computed tomography after transcatheter aortic valve implantation.
Katsanos S, van Rosendael P, Kamperidis V, van der Kley F, Joyce E, Debonnaire P, Karalis I, Bax JJ, Marsan NA, Delgado V
New-onset rhythm conduction disorders are frequent after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). Multidetector row computed tomography may shed light on the pathophysiology of rhythm conduction disorders in patients who undergo TAVI with the Edwards SAPIEN valve. A total of 94 patients (mean age 81 ± 7 years, 48% men) treated with TAVI with the Edwards SAPIEN valve who underwent pre- and post-TAVI multidetector row computed tomography were included. Patients with preexisting right bundle...

Bicuspid aortic valve: phosphorylation of c-Kit and downstream targets are prognostic for future aortopathy.
Grewal N, Gittenberger-de Groot AC, DeRuiter MC, Klautz RJ, Poelmann RE, Duim S, Lindeman JH, Koenraadt WM, Jongbloed MR, Mohamed SA, Sievers HH, Bogers AJ, Goumans MJ
Objectives: The clinical course of many patients with a bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is complicated by ascending aortic dilatation. Currently, the indication for aortic surgery is solely based on the aortic diameter and subsequently only a small proportion of BAV patients undergoing valve surgery require concomitant ascending aortic replacement based on these recommendations. Unfortunately, a substantial number of BAV patients still develop aortic dilatation in the future and would potentially be...

Peripheral cannabinoid 1 receptor blockade activates brown adipose tissue and diminishes dyslipidemia and obesity.
Boon MR, Kooijman S, van Dam AD, Pelgrom LR, Berbée JF, Visseren CA, van Aggele RC, van den Hoek AM, Sips HC, Lombès M, Havekes LM, Tamsma JT, Guigas B, Meijer OC, Jukema JW, Rensen PC
The endocannabinoid system is an important player in energy metabolism by regulating appetite, lipolysis, and energy expenditure. Chronic blockade of the cannabinoid 1 receptor (CB1R) leads to long-term maintenance of weight loss and reduction of dyslipidemia in experimental and human obesity. The molecular mechanism by which CB1R blockade reverses dyslipidemia in obesity has not yet been clarified. In this study, we showed that CB1R blockade with the systemic CB1R blocker rimonabant enhanced wh...

Left-sided ablation of ventricular tachycardia in adults with repaired tetralogy of Fallot: a case series.
Kapel GF, Reichlin T, Wijnmaalen AP, Tedrow UB, Piers SR, Schalij MJ, Hazekamp MG, Jongbloed MR, Stevenson WG, Zeppenfeld K
Background: Radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) of ventricular tachycardia (VT) in repaired Tetralogy of Fallot focuses on isthmuses in the right ventricle but may be hampered by hypertrophied myocardium or prosthetic material. These patients may benefit from ablation at the left side of the ventricular septum. Methods and results: Records from 28 consecutive repaired Tetralogy of Fallot patients from 2 centers who underwent VT ablation were reviewed. Ablation targeted anatomic isthmuses con...

Anacetrapib reduces progression of atherosclerosis, mainly by reducing non-HDL-cholesterol, improves lesion stability and adds to the beneficial effects of atorvastatin.
Kühnast S, van der Tuin SJ, van der Hoorn JW, van Klinken JB, Simic B, Pieterman E, Havekes LM, Landmesser U, Lüscher TF, Willems van Dijk K, Rensen PC, Jukema JW, Princen HM
Background: The residual risk that remains after statin treatment supports the addition of other LDL-C-lowering agents and has stimulated the search for secondary treatment targets. Epidemiological studies propose HDL-C as a possible candidate. Cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) transfers cholesteryl esters from atheroprotective HDL to atherogenic (V)LDL. The CETP inhibitor anacetrapib decreases (V)LDL-C by ∼15-40% and increases HDL-C by ∼40-140% in clinical trials. We evaluated the effec...

Alirocumab inhibits atherosclerosis, improves the plaque morphology, and enhances the effects of a statin.
Kühnast S, van der Hoorn JW, Pieterman EJ, van den Hoek AM, Sasiela WJ, Gusarova V, Peyman A, Schäfer HL, Schwahn U, Jukema JW, Princen HM
Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) inhibition is a potential novel strategy for treatment of CVD. Alirocumab is a fully human PCSK9 monoclonal antibody in phase 3 clinical development. We evaluated the antiatherogenic potential of alirocumab in APOE*3Leiden.CETP mice. Mice received a Western-type diet and were treated with alirocumab (3 or 10 mg/kg, weekly subcutaneous dosing) alone and in combination with atorvastatin (3.6 mg/kg/d) for 18 weeks. Alirocumab alone dose-dependen...

Super-responders to cardiac resynchronization therapy remain at risk for ventricular arrhythmias and benefit from defibrillator treatment.
van der Heijden AC, Höke U, Thijssen J, Borleffs CJ, van Rees JB, van der Velde ET, Schalij MJ, van Erven L
Aims: Mortality and ventricular arrhythmias are reduced in patients responding to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). This response is accompanied by improvement in LVEF, and some patients even outgrow original eligibility criteria for implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) implantation. It is however unclear if these patients still benefit from ICD treatment. The current study aimed to evaluate if the incidence of ICD therapy is related to the extent of CRT response. Methods and resu...

More than 25 years of experience in managing pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum.
Schneider AW, Blom NA, Bruggemans EF, Hazekamp MG
Background: Management of pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum (PAIVS) is challenging and depends on the individual patient's morphologic characteristics. We evaluated outcomes of 25 years of experience in morphologically driven management of PAIVS. Methods: Between January 1985 and December 2011, 60 patients were treated for PAIVS. Patients were retrospectively categorized into mild (n=27), moderate (n=18), and severe (n=15) right ventricular (RV) hypoplasia subgroups based on...
