The American journal of cardiology, Volume 152, 20 3 2021, Pages 11-18 Prognostic Value of Multilayer Left Ventricular Global Longitudinal Strain in Patients with ST-segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction with Mildly Reduced Left Ventricular Ejection Fractions. Abou R, Goedemans L, Montero-Cabezas JM, Prihadi EA, El Mahdiui M, Schalij MJ, Ajmone Marsan N, Bax JJ, Delgado V
Multilayer (epi-, mid- and endocardium) left ventricular (LV) global longitudinal strain (GLS) reflects the extent of myocardial damage after ST-segment myocardial infarction (STEMI). However, the prognostic implications of multilayer LV GLS remain unclear. We studied the association between multilayer LV GLS and prognosis in patients with mildly reduced or preserved LV ejection fraction (EF) after STEMI. Patients with first STEMI and LVEF>45% were evaluated retrospectively. Baseline multilay... Abstract

Digital health, Volume 2, Issue 3, 11 2 2021, Pages 511-520 Development of a patient-oriented Hololens application to illustrate the function of medication after myocardial infarction. Hilt AD, Hierck BP, Eijkenduijn J, Wesselius FJ, Albayrak A, Melles M, Schalij MJ, Scherptong RWC
Aims: Statin treatment is one of the hallmarks of secondary prevention after myocardial infarction. Adherence to statins tends to be difficult and can be improved by patient education. Novel technologies such as mixed reality (MR) expand the possibilities to support this process. To assess if an MR medication-application supports patient education focused on function of statins after myocardial infarction. Methods and results: A human-centred design-approach was used to develop an MR statin tool... Abstract

JMIR mHealth and uHealth, Volume 9, Issue 4, 28 4 2021, Pages e26161 Impact of Mobile Health Devices for the Detection of Atrial Fibrillation: Systematic Review. Biersteker TE, Schalij MJ, Treskes RW
Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia, and its prevalence is increasing. Early diagnosis is important to reduce the risk of stroke. Mobile health (mHealth) devices, such as single-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) devices, have been introduced to the worldwide consumer market over the past decade. Recent studies have assessed the usability of these devices for detection of AF, but it remains unclear if the use of mHealth devices leads to a higher AF detection rate. Object... Abstract

Background: Aortic stiffness, assessed through pulse wave velocity (PWV), is an independent predictor for cardiovascular disease risk. However, the scarce availability of normal and reference values for cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) based PWV is limiting clinical implementation. The aim of this study was to determine normal and reference values for CMR assessed PWV in the general population.

Frontiers in cardiovascular medicine, Volume 8, 16 3 2021, Pages 644193 Validation and Feasibility of Echocardiographic Assessment of Systemic Right Ventricular Function: Serial Correlation With MRI. Zandstra TE, Jongbloed MRM, Widya RL, Ten Harkel ADJ, Holman ER, Mertens BJA, Vliegen HW, Egorova AD, Schalij MJ, Kiès P
Background: Inherent to its geometry, echocardiographic imaging of the systemic right ventricle (RV) is challenging. Therefore, echocardiographic assessment of systemic RV function may not always be feasible and/or reproducible in daily practice. Here, we aim to validate the usefulness of a comprehensive range of 32 echocardiographic measurements of systemic RV function in a longitudinal cohort by serial assessment of their correlations with cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR)-derived systemic RV e...

Pacing and clinical electrophysiology : PACE, Volume 44, Issue 4, 9 2 2021, Pages 657-666 The prognostic value of J-wave pattern for recurrence of ventricular tachycardia after catheter ablation in patients with myocardial infarction. Naruse Y, de Riva M, Watanabe M, Wijnmaalen AP, Venlet J, Timmer M, Schalij MJ, Zeppenfeld K
Background: J-waves and fragmented QRS (fQRS) on surface ECGs have been associated with the occurrence of ventricular tachyarrhythmias. Whether these non-invasive parameters can also predict ventricular tachycardia (VT) recurrence after radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) is unknown. Of interest, patients with a wide QRS-complex have been excluded from clinical studies on J-waves, although a J-wave like pattern has been described for wide QRS. Methods: We retrospectively included 168 patient... Abstract

Background: Cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) is an important cause of cognitive impairment and spontaneous lobar intracerebral haemorrhage in older individuals. When necessary, anticoagulant treatment in these patients comes with two dilemmas; significant intracerebral bleeding risk with treatment vs. high risk of embolic stroke with no treatment.

Clinical case reports, Volume 8, Issue 11, 6 1 2020, Pages 2320-2321 The constrictive consequences of pericardial calcifications. Egorova AD, Schalij MJ, Kiès P
A 53-year-old man presented with symptomatic severe pulmonary valve regurgitation. He underwent a diagnostic catheterization. A heavily calcified pericardium and the pressure tracings illustrate typical features of constrictive pericarditis physiology, including the "square root sign." This condition is important to recognize given the progressive nature and poor prognosis if untreated. Abstract
