Prognostic importance of atrial fibrillation in implantable cardioverter-defibrillator patients.
Borleffs CJ, van Rees JB, van Welsenes GH, van der Velde ET, van Erven L, Bax JJ, Schalij MJ
Objectives: This study aimed to assess the prevalence of different types of atrial fibrillation (AF) and their prognostic importance in implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) patients. Background: The prevalence of AF has taken epidemic proportions in the population with cardiovascular disease. The prognostic importance of different types of AF in ICD patients remains unclear. Methods: Data on 913 consecutive patients (79% men, mean age 62 + or - 13 years) receiving an ICD at the Leiden Un...

Vitamin D receptor: a new risk marker for clinical restenosis after percutaneous coronary intervention.
Monraats PS, Fang Y, Pons D, Pires NM, Pols HA, Zwinderman AH, de Maat MP, Doevendans PA, DeWinter RJ, Tio RA, Waltenberger J, Frants RR, Quax PH, van der Laarse A, van der Wall EE, Uitterlinden AG, Jukema JW
Objective: Restenosis is the main drawback of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Inherited factors may explain part of the risk of restenosis. Recently, the vitamin D receptor (VDR) has been shown to be involved not only in bone metabolism but also in modulating immune responses and cell proliferation. Since the inflammatory response is implicated in restenosis, VDR-gene variants could therefore contribute to the risk of restenosis. Methods/results: Systematic genotyping for 15 haplotype...

Evaluation of contraindications and efficacy of oral Beta blockade before computed tomographic coronary angiography.
de Graaf FR, Schuijf JD, van Velzen JE, Kroft LJ, de Roos A, Sieders A, Jukema JW, Schalij MJ, van der Wall EE, Bax JJ
Multidetector computed tomographic coronary angiography (CTA) image quality is inversely related to the heart rate (HR). As a result beta-blocking medication is routinely administered before investigation. In the present study, the use, contraindications, and efficacy of prescan beta blockade with regard to HR reduction and CTA image quality were assessed. In 537 patients referred for CTA, the baseline HR and blood pressure were measured on arrival, and contraindications for beta blockade were n...

Antoni ML, Scherptong RW, Atary JZ, Boersma E, Holman ER, van der Wall EE, Schalij MJ, Bax JJ
Background: Data on the association between right ventricular (RV) function and adverse events after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) are scarce. The purpose of the current study was to evaluate the relation between RV function and adverse events in patients treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention for AMI. Methods and results: Consecutive patients admitted with AMI treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention underwent echocardiography within 48 hours of admission to...

Value of tissue Doppler echocardiography in predicting response to cardiac resynchronization therapy in patients with heart failure.
Van Bommel RJ, Ypenburg C, Borleffs CJ, Delgado V, Marsan NA, Bertini M, Holman ER, Schalij MJ, Bax JJ
Several studies have demonstrated a relation between left ventricular (LV) dyssynchrony and response to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). Many methods of determining LV dyssynchrony have been proposed, including a value of 65 ms as assessed by tissue Doppler imaging. The aim of the present validation study was to prospectively test the predictive accuracy of the 65-ms cutoff for LV dyssynchrony in a large cohort of patients with heart failure undergoing CRT. The study included 361 patient...

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation: role of multi-detector row computed tomography to evaluate prosthesis positioning and deployment in relation to valve function.
Delgado V, Ng AC, van de Veire NR, van der Kley F, Schuijf JD, Tops LF, de Weger A, Tavilla G, de Roos A, Kroft LJ, Schalij MJ, Bax JJ
Aims: Aortic regurgitation after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is one of the most frequent complications. However, the underlying mechanisms of this complication remain unclear. The present evaluation studied the anatomic and morphological features of the aortic valve annulus that may predict aortic regurgitation after TAVI. Methods and results: In 53 patients with severe aortic stenosis undergoing TAVI, multi-detector row computed tomography (MDCT) assessment of the aortic valv...

Background: Trials of statin therapy have had conflicting findings on the risk of development of diabetes mellitus in patients given statins. We aimed to establish by a meta-analysis of published and unpublished data whether any relation exists between statin use and development of diabetes. Methods: We searched Medline, Embase, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials from 1994 to 2009, for randomised controlled endpoint trials of statins. We included only trials with more than 10...

Left atrial isomerism: biventricular repair.
Vodiskar J, Clur SA, Hruda J, Bokenkamp R, Hazekamp MG
Objective: Biventricular repair of hearts with left atrial isomerism often necessitates complex atrial and ventricular baffle procedures. We analysed our experience with an accent on baffle techniques. Methods: From 1997 until 2008, 12 patients (four male) with left atrial isomerism received biventricular repair. Their median age at surgery was 9 (range: 1-24) months. Four patients had dextrocardia. Nine patients presented with left superior vena cava, three with absent right superior vena cava,...

Strain-dependent susceptibility for hypertension in mice resides in the natural killer gene complex.
Taherzadeh Z, VanBavel E, de Vos J, Matlung HL, van Montfrans G, Brewster LM, Seghers L, Quax PH, Bakker EN
Hypertension is associated with chronic vascular inflammation. We tested the hypothesis that the sensitivity to develop hypertension and vascular remodeling depends on the immunological background. Blood pressure, vascular remodeling, endothelial function, vascular architecture (number of collateral arteries), and expression of inflammatory cytokines were determined in mice that received N(G)-nitro-l-arginine methyl ester (l-NAME) to inhibit nitric oxide synthesis. We studied C57BL/6, BALB/c, an...

Systemic MCP1/CCR2 blockade and leukocyte specific MCP1/CCR2 inhibition affect aortic aneurysm formation differently.
de Waard V, Bot I, de Jager SC, Talib S, Egashira K, de Vries MR, Quax PH, Biessen EA, van Berkel TJ
Objective: CCR2, the receptor for monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP1), is involved in atherosclerosis and abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs). Here, we explored the potential beneficial blockade of the MCP1/CCR2 pathway. Methods: We applied an AAA model in aging apolipoprotein E deficient mice with pre-existing atherosclerotic lesions. These mice were subjected to two therapeutic strategies. First, a dominant negative form of MCP1 was overexpressed in femoral muscles, resulting in circulatin...

In recent years, multi-slice computed tomography (MSCT) technology has developed rapidly, allowing high-resolution non-invasive imaging of the coronary arteries and surrounding structures. Since the introduction of MSCT, acquisition time, detector number, spatial and temporal resolution have continuously improved with each new scanner generation, resulting in excellent image quality and diagnostic accuracy in the detection of coronary artery disease (CAD). At the same time, developments in MSCT...

Reference values for right ventricular volumes and ejection fraction with real-time three-dimensional echocardiography: evaluation in a large series of normal subjects.
Tamborini G, Marsan NA, Gripari P, Maffessanti F, Brusoni D, Muratori M, Caiani EG, Fiorentini C, Pepi M
Background: The quantification of right ventricular (RV) size and function is of diagnostic and prognostic importance. Recently, new software for the analysis of RV geometry using three-dimensional (3D) echocardiographic images has been validated. The aim of this study was to provide normal reference values for RV volumes and function using this technique. Methods: A total of 245 subjects, including 15 to 20 subjects for each gender and age decile, were studied. Dedicated 3D acquisitions of the...
