Supervised preoperative forearm exercise to increase blood vessel diameter in patients requiring an arteriovenous access for hemodialysis: rationale and design of the PINCH trial.
Wilschut ED, Rotmans JI, Bos EJ, van Zoest D, Eefting D, Hamming JF, van der Bogt KEA
Background: Failure of maturation occurs in 30%-60% of arteriovenous fistula (AVF) creation for hemodialysis, with highest rates in distal radiocephalic fistulas. This is partly due to initial small blood vessel size with limited blood flow capacity. Forearm exercise has shown potential as stimulus for increasing blood vessel size in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and may promote maturation of AVFs in the upper limb when applied postoperatively. However, it is unknown if forearm ex...

Background: QT interval, measured through a standard ECG, captures the time it takes for the cardiac ventricles to depolarize and repolarize. JT interval is the component of the QT interval that reflects ventricular repolarization alone. Prolonged QT interval has been linked to higher risk of sudden cardiac arrest. Methods and results: We performed an ExomeChip-wide analysis for both QT and JT intervals, including 209 449 variants, both common and rare, in 17 341 genes from the Illumina Infinium...

[The (un)predictability of coronary atherosclerosis].
Elffers TW, Jukema JW
Coronary atherosclerosis is a common disease. The plaques developing inside coronary vessels may have serious consequences such as myocardial infarction. However, the course of this multifactorial and heterogeneous disease is difficult to predict and is different for each patient. Atherosclerosis is often described as a gradually progressive disease, but in addition to slow progression, a certain periodicity is often seen. There may be periods with more stability and periods of regression. Sever...

Nationwide claims data validated for quality assessments in acute myocardial infarction in the Netherlands.
Eindhoven DC, van Staveren LN, van Erkelens JA, Ikkersheim DE, Cannegieter SC, Umans VAWM, Mosterd A, van Wijngaarden J, Schalij MJ, Borleffs CJW
Introduction: Since health insurance is compulsory in the Netherlands, the centrally registered medical claims data might pose a unique opportunity to evaluate quality of (cardiac) care on a national level without additional collection of data. However, validation of these claims data has not yet been assessed. Design: Retrospective cohort study. Methods: National claims data ('national registry') were compared with data collected by patient records reviews in four representative hospi...

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified >250 loci for body mass index (BMI), implicating pathways related to neuronal biology. Most GWAS loci represent clusters of common, noncoding variants from which pinpointing causal genes remains challenging. Here we combined data from 718,734 individuals to discover rare and low-frequency (minor allele frequency (MAF) < 5%) coding variants associated with BMI. We identified 14 coding variants in 13 genes, of which 8 variants were in ge...

Leukocyte-Associated Immunoglobulin-like Receptor-1 is regulated in human myocardial infarction but its absence does not affect infarct size in mice.
Ellenbroek GHJM, de Haan JJ, van Klarenbosch BR, Brans MAD, van de Weg SM, Smeets MB, de Jong S, Arslan F, Timmers L, Goumans MTH, Hoefer IE, Doevendans PA, Pasterkamp G, Meyaard L, de Jager SCA
Heart failure after myocardial infarction (MI) depends on infarct size and adverse left ventricular (LV) remodelling, both influenced by the inflammatory response. Leukocyte-associated immunoglobulin-like receptor 1 (LAIR-1) is an inhibitory receptor of ITAM-dependent cell activation, present on almost all immune cells. We investigated regulation of LAIR-1 leukocyte expression after MI in patients and hypothesized that its absence in a mouse model of MI would increase infarct size and adverse re...

Gender-Specific Differences in All-Cause Mortality Between Incomplete and Complete Revascularization in Patients With ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction and Multi-Vessel Coronary Artery Disease.
Dimitriu-Leen AC, Hermans MPJ, van Rosendael AR, van Zwet EW, van der Hoeven BL, Bax JJ, Scholte AJHA
The best revascularization strategy (complete vs incomplete revascularization) in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is still debated. The interaction between gender and revascularization strategy in patients with STEMI on all-cause mortality is uncertain. The aim of the present study was to evaluate gender-specific difference in all-cause mortality between incomplete and complete revascularization in patients with STEMI and multi-vessel coronary artery disease. The study p...

Relation of Overall and Abdominal Adiposity With Electrocardiogram Parameters of Subclinical Cardiovascular Disease in Individuals Aged 45 to 65 Years (from the Netherlands Epidemiology of Obesity Study).
Elffers TW, de Mutsert R, Lamb HJ, Maan AC, Macfarlane PW, Willems van Dijk K, Rosendaal FR, Jukema JW, Trompet S
Overall and abdominal obesity are well-established risk factors for cardiometabolic disease. However, associations of overall and abdominal adiposity with electrocardiographic (ECG) markers of subclinical cardiovascular disease (CVD) have not yet been fully elucidated. Therefore, we investigated these associations in a population without preexisting CVD. We performed cross-sectional analyses in the Netherlands Epidemiology of Obesity Study. Body mass index (BMI), total body fat, and waist circum...

Association of complement receptor 1 gene polymorphisms with cognitive function.
Zijlstra LE, Jukema JW, Mooijaart SP, de Vries MA, Stott DJ, Castro Cabezas M, Trompet S
Previous evidence suggest involvement of the complement receptor 1 (CR1) in development of Alzheimer's disease. We investigated the association of CR1 gene polymorphisms with cognitive function in older subjects. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within the CR1 region on chromosome 1 ( n = 73) were assessed in 5,244 participants in the PROspective Study of Pravastatin in the Elderly at Risk (51.9% female, mean age 75.3 yr). Linear regression, adjusted for age, sex, country, and use of...
