The Annals of thoracic surgery, Volume 85, Issue 2, 1 1 2008, Pages 430-6; discussion 436-7 Restrictive mitral annuloplasty cures ischemic mitral regurgitation and heart failure. Braun J, van de Veire NR, Klautz RJ, Versteegh MI, Holman ER, Westenberg JJ, Boersma E, van der Wall EE, Bax JJ, Dion RA
Background: Restrictive mitral annuloplasty with revascularization is considered the best approach to ischemic mitral regurgitation with heart failure, but late results are controversial. We report late outcome in relation to preoperative left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD) cutoff values, previously identified to predict intermediate-term left ventricular reverse remodeling. Methods: One hundred consecutive ischemic mitral regurgitation patients underwent restrictive mitral annulopla... Abstract

Mortality rates due to coronary artery disease (CAD) have declined in recent years as result of improved prevention, diagnosis, and management. Nonetheless, CAD remains the leading cause of death worldwide with most casualties expected to occur in developing nations. Myocardial perfusion scintigraphy (MPS) provides a highly cost-effective tool for the early detection of obstructive CAD in symptomatic individuals and contributes substantially to stratification of patients according to their risk...

The American journal of cardiology, Volume 101, Issue 2, 1 1 2008, Pages 144-148 Comparison of multislice computed tomography to gated single-photon emission computed tomography for imaging of healed myocardial infarcts. Henneman MM, Schuijf JD, Dibbets-Schneider P, Stokkel MP, van der Geest RJ, van der Wall EE, Bax JJ
The aim of the study was to evaluate the performance of multislice computed tomography (MSCT) for the detection and semiquantitative analysis of healed myocardial infarct in comparison to single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). Recently, MSCT was shown to allow detection of myocardial infarct by the presence of hypoenhanced areas. However, direct comparisons to other imaging modalities for infarct imaging were scarce. In 69 patients with healed myocardial infarct (>3 months), the... Abstract

JACC. Cardiovascular imaging, Volume 1, Issue 1, 1 1 2008, Pages 94-106 Noncoronary applications of cardiac multidetector row computed tomography. Tops LF, Krishnàn SC, Schuijf JD, Schalij MJ, Bax JJ
Multidetector row computed tomography (MDCT) has a high diagnostic accuracy to evaluate coronary artery stenoses. Additionally, the 4-dimensional aspect of cardiac MDCT allows a comprehensive evaluation of cardiac structure and function. Left ventricular volumes and systolic function can be accurately assessed with MDCT, and imaging of myocardial infarction is a promising application of cardiac MDCT. In addition, MDCT may provide anatomical visualization of heart valves. Also, evaluation of anat... Abstract

Chen J, Henneman MM, Trimble MA, Bax JJ, Borges-Neto S, Iskandrian AE, Nichols KJ, Garcia EV
Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) has shown benefits in patients with severe heart failure. However, at least 30% of patients selected for CRT by use of traditional criteria (New York Heart Association class III or IV, depressed left ventricular [LV] ejection fraction, and prolonged QRS duration) do not respond to CRT. Recent studies with tissue Doppler imaging have shown that the presence of LV dyssynchrony is an important predictor of response to CRT. Phase analysis has been developed to... Abstract

The American journal of cardiology, Volume 101, Issue 1, 1 1 2008, Pages 122-126 Influence of renal function on the usefulness of N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide as a prognostic cardiac risk marker in patients undergoing noncardiac vascular surgery. Goei D, Schouten O, Boersma E, Welten GM, Dunkelgrun M, Lindemans J, van Gestel YR, Hoeks SE, Bax JJ, Poldermans D
N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-pro-BNP) is related to stress-induced myocardial ischemia and/or volume overload, both common in patients with renal dysfunction. This might compromise the prognostic usefulness of NT-pro-BNP in patients with renal impairment before vascular surgery. We assessed the prognostic value of NT-pro-BNP in the entire strata of renal function. In 356 patients (median age 69 years, 77% men), cardiac history, glomerular filtration rate (GFR, ml/min/1.73 m(2)),... Abstract

Marsan NA, Bleeker GB, Ypenburg C, Ghio S, van de Veire NR, Holman ER, van der Wall EE, Tavazzi L, Schalij MJ, Bax JJ
Objective: To evaluate the value of real-time three-dimensional echocardiography (RT3DE) to predict acute response to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). Methods: Sixty consecutive heart failure patients scheduled for CRT were included. RT3DE was performed before and within 48 hours after pacemaker implantation to calculate both left ventricular (LV) volumes and LV dyssynchrony. LV dyssynchrony was defined as the standard deviation of the time taken to reach the minimum systolic volume for... Abstract

As a consequence of improved technology, there is growing clinical interest in the use of multi-detector row computed tomography (MDCT) for non-invasive coronary angiography. Indeed, the accuracy of MDCT to detect or exclude coronary artery stenoses has been high in many published studies. This report of a Writing Group deployed by the Working Group Nuclear Cardiology and Cardiac CT (WG 5) of the European Society of Cardiology and the European Council of Nuclear Cardiology summarizes the present...
