Efficacy of the Cardiac Implantable Electronic Device Multisensory Triage-HF Algorithm in Heart Failure Care: A Real-World Clinical Experience.
Aslan U, Beeres SLMA, Feijen M, Mulder GM, Jukema JW, Egorova AD
Heart failure (HF) admissions are burdensome, and the mainstay of prevention is the timely detection of impending fluid retention, creating a window for medical treatment intensification. This study evaluated the accuracy and performance of a Triage-HF-guided carepath in real-world ambulatory HF patients in daily clinical practice. In this prospective, observational study, 92 adult HF patients (71 males (78%), with a median age of 69 [IQR 59-75] years) with the Triage-HF algorithm activated in t...

Troponin I levels in systemic sclerosis patients with myocardial involvement.
Hoekstra EM, Liem SI, Ahmed S, Levarht N, Fehres CM, Giuca A, Ajmone Marsan N, Huizinga TW, de Vries-Bouwstra JK
Objectives: Troponin I has been suggested as a more specific diagnostic biomarker for myocardial involvement in systemic sclerosis than the frequently used troponin T. The aim of this study is to evaluate the additive value of troponin I to detect myocardial involvement in systemic sclerosis. To this end, we evaluated the association between troponin I levels and myocardial involvement in systemic sclerosis patients. Methods: A cross-sectional observational study was performed, including 20 heal...

First use of a new extended reality tool for preoperative planning in coronary artery bypass surgery: a case-report.
El Mathari S, Broersen A, Dijkstra J, Sadeghi AH, Grisèl B, de Lind van Wijngaarden RAF, Klautz RJM, Kluin J
A 73-year-old male presented with angina symptoms and was diagnosed with three-vessel coronary artery disease by use of computed tomography angiography and coronary angiography. This diagnosis necessitated coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery. A custom made AI-driven algorithm was used to generate a patient-specific three-dimensional coronary artery model from computed tomography angiography imaging data. This framework enabled precise segmentation and reconstruction of the coronary va...

Allach Y, Barry-Loncq de Jong M, Clephas PRD, van Gent MWF, Brunner-La Rocca HP, Szymanski MK, van Halm VP, Handoko ML, Kok WEM, Asselbergs FW, van Kimmenade RRJ, Manintveld OC, van Mieghem NMDA, Beeres SLMA, Rienstra M, Post MC, van Heerebeek L, Borleffs CJW, Tukkie R, Mosterd A, Linssen GCM, Spee RF, Emans ME, Smilde TDJ, van Ramshorst J, Kirchhof CJHJ, Feenema-Aardema MW, da Fonseca CA, van den Heuvel M, Hazeleger R, van Eck JWM, Boersma E, Kardys I, de Boer RA, Brugts JJ
Aims: Heart failure (HF), a global pandemic affecting millions of individuals, calls for adequate predictive guidance for improved therapy. Congestion, a key factor in HF-related hospitalizations, further underscores the need for timely interventions. Proactive monitoring of intracardiac pressures, guided by pulmonary artery (PA) pressure, offers opportunities for efficient early-stage intervention, since haemodynamic congestion precedes clinical symptoms. Methods: The BioMEMS study, a substudy...

The potential benefit of statin prescription based on prediction of treatment responsiveness in older individuals: an application to the PROSPER randomized controlled trial.
Nguyen TL, Trompet S, Brodersen JB, Hoogland J, Debray TPA, Sattar N, Jukema JW, Westendorp RGJ
Aims: Clinical guidelines often recommend treating individuals based on their cardiovascular risk. We revisit this paradigm and quantify the efficacy of three treatment strategies: (i) overall prescription, i.e. treatment to all individuals sharing the eligibility criteria of a trial; (ii) risk-stratified prescription, i.e. treatment only to those at an elevated outcome risk; and (iii) prescription based on predicted treatment responsiveness. Methods and results: We reanalysed the PROSPER random...

Three-dimensional cardiac magnetic resonance allows the identification of slow-conducting anatomical isthmuses in tetralogy of Fallot.
Kimura Y, Wallet J, Bouyer B, Jongbloed MRM, Bertels R, Hazekamp MG, Thambo JB, Iriart X, Cochet H, Sacher F, Lamb HJ, Blom NA, Zeppenfeld K
Background and aims: Patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot remain at risk of life-threatening ventricular tachycardia related to slow-conducting anatomical isthmuses (SCAIs). Preventive ablation of SCAI identified by invasive electroanatomical mapping is increasingly performed. This study aimed to non-invasively identify SCAI using 3D late gadolinium enhancement cardiac magnetic resonance (3D-LGE-CMR). Methods: Consecutive tetralogy of Fallot patients who underwent right ventricular electro...

Objective: To identify genetic risk factors for incident cardiovascular disease (CVD) among people with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Research design and methods: We conducted a multiancestry time-to-event genome-wide association study for incident CVD among people with T2D. We also tested 204 known coronary artery disease (CAD) variants for association with incident CVD. Results: Among 49,230 participants with T2D, 8,956 had incident CVD events (event rate 18.2%). We identified three novel genetic loc...

de Frel DL, Schroijen MA, Aardoom JJ, van Gils W, Huisman SD, Janssen VR, Versluis A, Kleinsmann MS, Atsma DE, Pijl H
Background: Type 2 diabetes (T2D) tremendously affects patient health and health care globally. Changing lifestyle behaviors can help curb the burden of T2D. However, health behavior change is a complex interplay of medical, behavioral, and psychological factors. Personalized lifestyle advice and promotion of self-management can help patients change their health behavior and improve glucose regulation. Digital tools are effective in areas of self-management and have great potential to support pa...

Characterizing Longitudinal Patterns in Cognition, Mood, And Activity in Depression With 6-Week High-Frequency Wearable Assessment: Observational Study.
Cormack F, McCue M, Skirrow C, Cashdollar N, Taptiklis N, van Schaik T, Fehnert B, King J, Chrones L, Sarkey S, Kroll J, Barnett JH
Background: Cognitive symptoms are an underrecognized aspect of depression that are often untreated. High-frequency cognitive assessment holds promise for improving disease and treatment monitoring. Although we have previously found it feasible to remotely assess cognition and mood in this capacity, further work is needed to ascertain the optimal methodology to implement and synthesize these techniques. Objective: The objective of this study was to examine (1) longitudinal changes in mood, cogni...

Aras E, Boz B, Vaheddoost B, Yılmaz D
Water constitutes an indispensable resource vital for sustaining life. In this context, groundwater stands out as a paramount global water source. Throughout history, underground dams (UGDs) have been employed to augment the storage capacity of local aquifers. This study employs a multistep elimination approach to identify optimal locations for constructing UGDs in the Bursa district, Turkey. Initially, the Digital Elevation Model (DEM) is utilized to pinpoint the potential construction sites at...

Direct Fabrication of Atomically Defined Pores in MXenes Using Feedback-Driven STEM.
Boebinger MG, Yilmaz DE, Ghosh A, Misra S, Mathis TS, Kalinin SV, Jesse S, Gogotsi Y, van Duin ACT, Unocic RR
Controlled fabrication of nanopores in 2D materials offer the means to create robust membranes needed for ion transport and nanofiltration. Techniques for creating nanopores have relied upon either plasma etching or direct irradiation; however, aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) offers the advantage of combining a sub-Å sized electron beam for atomic manipulation along with atomic resolution imaging. Here, a method for automated nanopore fabrication is utilized...
