European heart journal, Volume 40, Issue 18, 1 1 2019, Pages 1440-1453 Should NICE guidelines be universally accepted for the evaluation of stable coronary disease? A debate. Hecht HS, Shaw L, Chandrashekhar YS, Bax JJ, Narula J
The 2016 National Institute of Health and Care Excellence clinical guideline for the assessment and diagnosis of chest pain positions coronary computed tomography angiography as the first test for all stable chest pain patients without confirmed coronary artery disease and discards the previous emphasis on calculation of pre-test likelihood recommended in their 2012 edition of the guidelines.

Journal of the American College of Cardiology, Volume 73, Issue 17, 1 1 2019, Pages 2150-2162 Lipoprotein(a) and Oxidized Phospholipids Promote Valve Calcification in Patients With Aortic Stenosis. Zheng KH, Tsimikas S, Pawade T, Kroon J, Jenkins WSA, Doris MK, White AC, Timmers NKLM, Hjortnaes J, Rogers MA, Aikawa E, Arsenault BJ, Witztum JL, Newby DE, Koschinsky ML, Fayad ZA, Stroes ESG, Boekholdt SM, Dweck MR
Background: Lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)], a major carrier of oxidized phospholipids (OxPL), is associated with an increased incidence of aortic stenosis (AS). However, it remains unclear whether elevated Lp(a) and OxPL drive disease progression and are therefore targets for therapeutic intervention. Objectives: This study investigated whether Lp(a) and OxPL on apolipoprotein B-100 (OxPL-apoB) levels are associated with disease activity, disease progression, and clinical events in AS patients, along wi...

Frontiers in cardiovascular medicine, Volume 6, 26 4 2019, Pages 52 Anti-fibrotic Effects of Cardiac Progenitor Cells in a 3D-Model of Human Cardiac Fibrosis. Bracco Gartner TCL, Deddens JC, Mol EA, Magin Ferrer M, van Laake LW, Bouten CVC, Khademhosseini A, Doevendans PA, Suyker WJL, Sluijter JPG, Hjortnaes J
Cardiac fibroblasts play a key role in chronic heart failure. The conversion from cardiac fibroblast to myofibroblast as a result of cardiac injury, will lead to excessive matrix deposition and a perpetuation of pro-fibrotic signaling. Cardiac cell therapy for chronic heart failure may be able to target fibroblast behavior in a paracrine fashion. However, no reliable human fibrotic tissue model exists to evaluate this potential effect of cardiac cell therapy. Using a gelatin methacryloyl hydroge... Abstract

Background: Coronary computed tomography angiography (cCTA)-derived fractional flow reserve (FFRCT) is a promising diagnostic method for the evaluation of coronary artery disease (CAD). However, clinical data regarding FFRCTin Japan are scarce, so we assessed the clinical impact of using FFRCTin a Japanese population. Methods and results: The ADVANCE registry is an international prospective FFRCTregistry of patients suspected of CAD. Of 5,083 patients, 1,829 subjects enrolled from Japan were ana... Abstract

Molecular genetics and genomics : MGG, Volume 294, Issue 4, 9 2 2019, Pages 1001-1006 Insufficient evidence for a role of SERPINF1 in otosclerosis. Valgaeren H, Sommen M, Beyens M, Vandeweyer G, Schrauwen I, Schepers A, Schatteman I, Topsakal V, Dhooge I, Kunst H, Zanetti D, Huber AM, Hoischen A, Fransen E, Van Camp G
Otosclerosis is a common form of hearing loss (HL) due to abnormal remodeling of the otic capsule. The genetic causes of otosclerosis remain largely unidentified. Only mutations in a single gene, SERPINF1, were previously published in patients with familial otosclerosis. To unravel the contribution of genetic variation in this gene to otosclerosis, this gene was re-sequenced in a large population of otosclerosis patients and controls. Resequencing of the 5' and 3' UTRs, coding regions,... Abstract

Cells, Volume 8, Issue 4, 9 2 2019, Pages E334 Flow Cytometry-Based Characterization of Mast Cells in Human Atherosclerosis. Kritikou E, Depuydt MAC, de Vries MR, Mulder KE, Govaert AM, Smit MD, van Duijn J, Foks AC, Wezel A, Smeets HJ, Slütter B, Quax PHA, Kuiper J, Bot I
The presence of mast cells in human atherosclerotic plaques has been associated with adverse cardiovascular events. Mast cell activation, through the classical antigen sensitized-IgE binding to their characteristic Fcε-receptor, causes the release of their cytoplasmic granules. These granules are filled with neutral proteases such as tryptase, but also with histamine and pro-inflammatory mediators. Mast cells accumulate in high numbers within human atherosclerotic tissue, particularly in the sho... Abstract

Background: Up to 66% of patients show local pulmonary disease progression after pulmonary metastasectomy. Regional treatment with isolated lung perfusion (ILuP) may improve local control with minimal systemic adverse effects. The aims of this study were to evaluate local and distant control after ILuP, determine the effect on overall survival compared with historical controls, and confirm the safety and feasibility of ILuP. Methods: A total of 107 patients with resectable pulmonary metastases o... Abstract
