Journal of nuclear cardiology : official publication of the American Society of Nuclear Cardiology, Volume 14, Issue 1, 1 1 2007, Pages 36-43 Impact of coronary calcium score on diagnostic accuracy of multislice computed tomography coronary angiography for detection of coronary artery disease. Pundziute G, Schuijf JD, Jukema JW, Lamb HJ, de Roos A, van der Wall EE, Bax JJ
Background: The impact of the coronary calcium score on the diagnostic accuracy of multislice computed tomography (MSCT) to detect obstructive coronary stenoses remains controversial. Methods and results: We examined 41 patients (mean Agatston score, 340 +/- 530 [range, 0-2546]) with coronary artery disease with 16-slice MSCT and 60 patients (mean Agatston score, 446 +/- 877 [range, 0-6264]) with 64-slice MSCT. MSCT scans were analyzed with invasive coronary angiography (CA) as the standard of r... Abstract

Acute cardiac care, Volume 9, Issue 4, 1 1 2007, Pages 214-221 Multi-slice computed tomography in the evaluation of patients with acute chest pain. Schuijf JD, Jukema JW, van der Wall EE, Bax JJ
Every year, a considerable number of patients present at the Emergency Department (ED) with acute chest pain complaints. In these patients, determining accurate diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) remains clinically challenging. In general, triage is based on the initial clinical assessment including (stress) ECG and serial serum markers measurements. While management is relatively straightforward in case of ECG changes and elevated serum markers, a considerable number of patients present... Abstract

Acute cardiac care, Volume 9, Issue 1, 1 1 2007, Pages 48-53 Differences in plaque composition and distribution in stable coronary artery disease versus acute coronary syndromes; non-invasive evaluation with multi-slice computed tomography. Schuijf JD, Beck T, Burgstahler C, Jukema JW, Dirksen MS, de Roos A, van der Wall EE, Schroeder S, Wijns W, Bax JJ
Background: Plaque composition rather than degree of luminal narrowing may be predictive of acute coronary syndromes (ACS). The purpose of the study was to compare plaque composition and distribution with multi-slice computed tomography (MSCT) between patients presenting with either stable coronary artery disease (CAD) or ACS. Methods: MSCT was performed in 22 and 24 patients presenting with ACS or stable CAD, respectively. Coronary lesions were classified as calcified, non-calcified or mixed wh... Abstract

American heart journal, Volume 153, Issue 1, 1 1 2007, Pages 14.e1-11 MISSION!: optimization of acute and chronic care for patients with acute myocardial infarction. Liem SS, van der Hoeven BL, Oemrawsingh PV, Bax JJ, van der Bom JG, Bosch J, Viergever EP, van Rees C, Padmos I, Sedney MI, van Exel HJ, Verwey HF, Atsma DE, van der Velde ET, Jukema JW, van der Wall EE, Schalij MJ
Background: Guideline implementation programs for patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) enhance adherence to evidence-based medicine (EBM) and improve clinical outcome. Although undertreatment of patients with AMI is well recognized in both acute and chronic phases of care, most implementation programs focus on acute and secondary prevention strategies during the index hospitalization phase only. Hypothesis: Implementation of an all-phase integrated AMI care program maximizes EBM in da... Abstract

Journal of cardiovascular electrophysiology, Volume 18, Issue 2, 29 5 2006, Pages 222-225 Triplane tissue Doppler imaging to evaluate mechanical dyssynchrony before and after cardiac resynchronization in a patient with congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries. Van de Veire NR, Blom NA, Holman ER, Schalij MJ, Bax JJ
We report the case of a 13-year-old girl with congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries. Since the implantation of a conventional pacemaker for acquired complete atrioventricular block, the patient experienced increased heart failure symptoms. Using triplane tissue Doppler imaging, significant intraventricular dyssynchrony induced by unilateral pacing and associated with diminished exercise capacity was demonstrated. A biventricular pacemaker was successfully implanted transveno... Abstract

European heart journal, Volume 28, Issue 1, 22 4 2006, Pages 33-41 Impact of viability and scar tissue on response to cardiac resynchronization therapy in ischaemic heart failure patients. Ypenburg C, Schalij MJ, Bleeker GB, Steendijk P, Boersma E, Dibbets-Schneider P, Stokkel MP, van der Wall EE, Bax JJ
Aims: At present, 20-30% of patients do not respond to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). In this study, the relation between the extent of viable myocardium and scar tissue vs. response to CRT was evaluated. In addition, the presence of scar tissue in the left ventricular (LV) lead position was specifically related to response to CRT. Methods and results: A total of 51 consecutive patients with ischaemic heart failure and substantial LV dyssynchrony undergoing CRT were included. All patie... Abstract

Beeres SL, Zeppenfeld K, Bax JJ, Dibbets-Schneider P, Stokkel MP, Fibbe WE, van der Wall EE, Atsma DE, Schalij MJ
Background: Bone marrow cell injection has been introduced to treat patients with ischemic heart disease. However, focal application of bone marrow cells may generate an arrhythmogenic substrate. Objectives: To assess the electrophysiological and arrhythmogenic effects of intramyocardial bone marrow cell injection in patients with chronic myocardial ischemia. Methods: Bone marrow was aspirated in 20 patients (65+/-11 years, 19 male) with drug-refractory angina and myocardial ischemia. Electroana... Abstract

The American journal of cardiology, Volume 99, Issue 1, 9 2 2006, Pages 68-74 Relative merits of M-mode echocardiography and tissue Doppler imaging for prediction of response to cardiac resynchronization therapy in patients with heart failure secondary to ischemic or idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy. Bleeker GB, Schalij MJ, Boersma E, Holman ER, Steendijk P, van der Wall EE, Bax JJ
M-mode echocardiography (using the septal-to-posterior wall motion delay [SPWMD]) and color-coded tissue Doppler imaging (TDI; using the septal-to-lateral delay in peak systolic velocity) have been proposed for assessment of left ventricular (LV) dyssynchrony and prediction of response to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). In this study, a head-to-head comparison between M-mode echocardiography and color-coded TDI was performed for assessment of LV dyssynchrony and prediction of response t... Abstract

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) in heart failure patients with narrow QRS complex ( or =120 ms). Patients with narrow QRS complex are currently not eligible for CRT, and the potential effects of CRT are not well studied. Methods: Thirty-three consecutive patients with narrow QRS complex and 33 consecutive patients with wide QRS complex (control group) were prospectively included. All patients needed to have LV dyssynchr... Abstract

Schuijf JD, Wijns W, Jukema JW, Decramer I, Atsma DE, de Roos A, Stokkel MP, Dibbets-Schneider P, van der Wall EE, Bax JJ
Unlabelled: For the noninvasive evaluation of coronary artery disease (CAD), both multislice CT and gated SPECT are available. How these 2 modalities relate, however, is yet unclear. The purpose of this study was to perform a head-to-head comparison of the results of multislice CT and gated SPECT on a regional basis (per vessel distribution territory) in patients with known or suspected CAD. Methods: One hundred forty patients underwent both multislice CT for coronary calcium scoring and coronar... Abstract

Tulner SA, Bax JJ, Bleeker GB, Steendijk P, Klautz RJ, Holman ER, Schalij MJ, Dion RA, van der Wall EE
Background: Surgical ventricular restoration is increasingly applied in patients with ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy. Previous studies show promising results with regard to survival and clinical outcome. However, a comprehensive midterm analysis of this approach on left ventricular (LV) and right ventricular function is not yet available. We investigated biventricular function and clinical status at 6-month follow-up. Methods: We investigated the effects of surgical ventricular restoration on c... Abstract
