Electrical storm (ES) is a state of electrical instability, manifesting as recurrent ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) over a short period of time (three or more episodes of sustained VA within 24 h, separated by at least 5 min, requiring termination by an intervention). The clinical presentation can vary, but ES is usually a cardiac emergency. Electrical storm mainly affects patients with structural or primary electrical heart disease, often with an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD). Man...

Atrial secondary tricuspid regurgitation: pathophysiology, definition, diagnosis, and treatment.
Muraru D, Badano LP, Hahn RT, Lang RM, Delgado V, Wunderlich NC, Donal E, Donal E, Taramasso M, Duncan A, Lurz P, De Potter T, Zamorano Gómez JL, Bax JJ, von Bardeleben RS, Enriquez-Sarano M, Maisano F, Praz F, Sitges M
Atrial secondary tricuspid regurgitation (A-STR) is a distinct phenotype of secondary tricuspid regurgitation with predominant dilation of the right atrium and normal right and left ventricular function. Atrial secondary tricuspid regurgitation occurs most commonly in elderly women with atrial fibrillation and in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction in sinus rhythm. In A-STR, the main mechanism of leaflet malcoaptation is related to the presence of a significant dilation of the tricusp...

Overlooked Pain Assessment Records in Patients with Pressure Injuries During the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Retrospective Data Analysis.
Sengul T, Erden S, Karadağ A, Yilmaz D, Gokduman T
Background: During the COVID-19 pandemic, healthcare professionals focused on identifying the cause of hemodynamic instability in patients and may have neglected to assess pressure injury (PI)-related pain. Although pain is an early indicator of PI development, there has been no systematic evaluation of PI-related pain in patients. Objective: To review nurses' records of PI-related pain in patients who developed PIs during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: This retrospective, descriptive stud...

How microsimulation translates outcome estimates to patient lifetime event occurrence in the setting of heart valve disease.
Notenboom ML, Rhellab R, Etnel JRG, Huygens SA, Hjortnaes J, Kluin J, Takkenberg JJM, Veen KM
Treatment decisions in healthcare often carry lifelong consequences that can be challenging to foresee. As such, tools that visualize and estimate outcome after different lifetime treatment strategies are lacking and urgently needed to support clinical decision-making in the setting of rapidly evolving healthcare systems, with increasingly numerous potential treatments. In this regard, microsimulation models may prove to be valuable additions to current risk-prediction models. Notable advantages...

Targeting of vulnerabilities of drug-tolerant persisters identified through functional genetics delays tumor relapse.
Chen M, Mainardi S, Lieftink C, Velds A, de Rink I, Yang C, Kuiken HJ, Morris B, Edwards F, Jochems F, van Tellingen O, Boeije M, Proost N, Jansen RA, Qin S, Jin H, Koen van der Mijn JC, Schepers A, Venkatesan S, Qin W, Beijersbergen RL, Wang L, Bernards R
Drug-tolerant persisters (DTPs) are a rare subpopulation of cells within a tumor that can survive therapy through nongenetic adaptive mechanisms to develop relapse and repopulate the tumor following drug withdrawal. Using a cancer cell line with an engineered suicide switch to kill proliferating cells, we perform both genetic screens and compound screens to identify the inhibition of bromodomain and extraterminal domain (BET) proteins as a selective vulnerability of DTPs. BET inhibitors are espe...

Reduced kinase function in two ultra-rare TNNI3K variants in families with congenital junctional ectopic tachycardia.
Pham C, Koopmann TT, Vinocur JM, Blom NA, Nogueira Silbiger V, Mittal K, Bootsma M, Palm KCA, Clur SB, Barge-Schaapveld DQCM, Hamilton RM, Lodder EM
Genetic missense variants in TNNI3K, encoding troponin-I interacting kinase, have been associated with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and observed in families with supraventricular tachycardias (SVT). Previously, a family harboring the TNNI3K-c.1615A > G (p.Thr539Ala) variant presented with congenital junctional ectopic tachycardia (CJET), an arrhythmia that arises from the atrioventricular (AV) node and His bundle. However, this was a relatively small four-generational family with limited gene...

Intracellular proteomics and extracellular vesiculomics as a metric of disease recapitulation in 3D-bioprinted aortic valve arrays.
Clift CL, Blaser MC, Gerrits W, Turner ME, Sonawane A, Pham T, Andresen JL, Fenton OS, Grolman JM, Campedelli A, Buffolo F, Schoen FJ, Hjortnaes J, Muehlschlegel JD, Mooney DJ, Aikawa M, Singh SA, Langer R, Aikawa E
In calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD), mechanosensitive valvular cells respond to fibrosis- and calcification-induced tissue stiffening, further driving pathophysiology. No pharmacotherapeutics are available to treat CAVD because of the paucity of (i) appropriate experimental models that recapitulate this complex environment and (ii) benchmarking novel engineered aortic valve (AV)-model performance. We established a biomaterial-based CAVD model mimicking the biomechanics of the human AV diseas...

Cardiac emergencies in women, such as acute coronary syndromes, acute heart failure, and cardiac arrest, are associated with a high risk of adverse outcomes and mortality. Although women historically have been significantly underrepresented in clinical studies of these diseases, the guideline-recommended treatment for these emergencies is generally the same for both sexes. Still, women are less likely to receive evidence-based treatment compared to men. Furthermore, specific diseases affecting p...

The relevance of the superior cervical ganglion for cardiac autonomic innervation in health and disease: a systematic review.
Chen HS, van Roon L, Ge Y, van Gils JM, Schoones JW, DeRuiter MC, Zeppenfeld K, Jongbloed MRM
Purpose: The heart receives cervical and thoracic sympathetic contributions. Although the stellate ganglion is considered the main contributor to cardiac sympathetic innervation, the superior cervical ganglia (SCG) is used in many experimental studies. The clinical relevance of the SCG to cardiac innervation is controversial. We investigated current morphological and functional evidence as well as controversies on the contribution of the SCG to cardiac innervation. Methods: A systematic literatu...

Association of right atrial strain and long-term outcome in severe secondary tricuspid regurgitation.
Galloo X, Fortuni F, Meucci MC, Butcher SC, Dietz MF, Prihadi EA, Cosyns B, Delgado V, Bax JJ, Ajmone Marsan N
Objective: Severe secondary tricuspid regurgitation (STR) causes significant right atrial (RA) volume overload, resulting in structural and functional RA-remodelling. This study evaluated whether patients with severe STR and reduced RA function, as assessed by RA-reservoir-strain (RASr), show lower long-term prognosis. Methods: Consecutive patients, from a single centre, with first diagnosis of severe STR and RASr measure available, were included. Extensive echocardiographic analysis comprised m...

Chest wall resections for sulcus superior tumors.
Ünal S, Heineman DJ, van Dorp M, Winkelman T, Braun J, Dahele M, Dickhoff C
Chemoradiotherapy followed by surgical resection (trimodality therapy) is a guideline recommended treatment for sulcus superior tumors (SST). By definition, SSTs invade the chest wall and therefore require en-bloc chest wall resection with the upper lung lobe or segments. The addition of a chest wall resection, potentially results in higher morbidity and mortality rates when compared to standard anatomical pulmonary resection. This, together with their anatomical location in the thoracic outlet,...

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a heterogeneous disease that develops through diverse pathophysiological processes1,2 and molecular mechanisms that are often specific to cell type3,4. Here, to characterize the genetic contribution to these processes across ancestry groups, we aggregate genome-wide association study data from 2,535,601 individuals (39.7% not of European ancestry), including 428,452 cases of T2D. We identify 1,289 independent association signals at genome-wide significance (P

Use Intention and User Expectations of Human-Supported and Self-Help eHealth Interventions: Internet-Based Randomized Controlled Trial.
Cohen Rodrigues TR, Reijnders T, Breeman LD, Janssen VR, Kraaijenhagen RA, Atsma DE, Evers AW
Background: Self-help eHealth interventions provide automated support to change health behaviors without any further human assistance. The main advantage of self-help eHealth interventions is that they have the potential to lower the workload of health care professionals. However, one disadvantage is that they generally have a lower uptake. Possibly, the absence of a relationship with a health care professional (referred to as the working alliance) could lead to negative expectations that hinder...

The Clear Value of Coronary Artery Calcification Evaluation on Non-Gated Chest Computed Tomography for Cardiac Risk Stratification.
Groen RA, Jukema JW, van Dijkman PRM, Bax JJ, Lamb HJ, Antoni ML, de Graaf MA
To enhance risk stratification in patients suspected of coronary artery disease, the assessment of coronary artery calcium (CAC) could be incorporated, especially when CAC can be readily assessed on previously performed non-gated chest computed tomography (CT). Guidelines recommend reporting on patients' extent of CAC on these non-cardiac directed exams and various studies have shown the diagnostic and prognostic value. However, this method is still little applied, and no current consensus...

Human cues in eHealth to promote lifestyle change: An experimental field study to examine adherence to self-help interventions.
Cohen Rodrigues TR, de Buisonjé DR, Reijnders T, Santhanam P, Kowatsch T, Breeman LD, Janssen VR, Kraaijenhagen RA, Atsma DE, Evers AWM, BENEFIT consortium
eHealth lifestyle interventions without human support (self-help interventions) are generally less effective, as they suffer from lower adherence levels. To solve this, we investigated whether (1) using a text-based conversational agent (TCA) and applying human cues contribute to a working alliance with the TCA, and whether (2) adding human cues and establishing a positive working alliance increase intervention adherence. Participants (N = 121) followed a TCA-supported app-based physical activit...
