Journal of the American Society of Echocardiography : official publication of the American Society of Echocardiography, Volume 20, Issue 3, 1 1 2007, Pages 257-261 Prognostic significance of akinesis becoming dyskinesis during dobutamine stress echocardiography. Sozzi FB, Elhendy A, Rizzello V, Biagini E, van Domburg RT, Vourvouri EC, Schinkel AF, Danzi GB, Bax JJ, Poldermans D
Background: Akinesis becoming dyskinesis (AKBD) at high-dose dobutamine stress echocardiography (DSE) has been disregarded as a marker of myocardial ischemia. However, its prognostic significance is unknown. Objectives: We sought to assess the long-term outcome of patients with AKBD during DSE. Methods: A total of 731 patients (age 62 +/- 15 years, 628 men) with two or more akinetic left ventricular segments at rest underwent DSE and were followed up for a mean period of 5 +/- 2.7 years. The end... Abstract

Diabetes care, Volume 30, Issue 5, 26 4 2007, Pages 1113-1119 Noninvasive assessment of plaque characteristics with multislice computed tomography coronary angiography in symptomatic diabetic patients. Pundziute G, Schuijf JD, Jukema JW, Boersma E, Scholte AJ, Kroft LJ, van der Wall EE, Bax JJ
Objective: Cardiovascular events are high in patients with type 2 diabetes, whereas their risk stratification is more difficult. The higher risk may be related to differences in coronary plaque burden and composition. The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether differences in the extent and composition of coronary plaques in patients with and without diabetes can be observed using multislice computed tomography (MSCT). Research design and methods: MSCT was performed in 215 patients (86 [40... Abstract

It was shown that improvement in left ventricular (LV) function and reverse remodeling after cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) were greater in patients with nonischemic cardiomyopathy than in those with ischemic cardiomyopathy. The aim of this study is to evaluate the influence of scar burden on response to CRT. We included 34 patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy (New York Heart Association class 3.1 +/- 0.4, LV ejection fraction 23 +/- 7%). Contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging wa... Abstract

Intrathoracic impedance measurement has been introduced in the InSync Sentry biventricular implantable cardioverter-defibrillator and may permit the early identification of pulmonary fluid accumulation secondary to left-sided heart failure (HF). An audible alarm (the OptiVol alert) can be triggered when the impedance index increases to greater than a predefined level of 60 Omega . day. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical value of the OptiVol alert and its prediction for decompensa... Abstract

Beeres SL, Bax JJ, Roes SD, Lamb HJ, Fibbe WE, De Roos A, Van Der Wall EE, Schalij MJ, Atsma DE
Background: Cell therapy has been proposed as a novel treatment strategy for patients with ischemic heart disease. However, two recent studies suggested that cardiac cell transplantation might aggravate coronary atherosclerosis. The aim of the current study was to assess whether intramyocardial bone marrow cell transplantation in patients with chronic myocardial ischemia is associated with progression of coronary atherosclerosis. Methods: In 30 patients with chronic ischemia, bone marrow was asp... Abstract
