The American journal of cardiology, Volume 114, Issue 11, 16 3 2014, Pages 1646-1650 Relation between coronary arterial dominance and left ventricular ejection fraction after ST-segment elevation acute myocardial infarction in patients having percutaneous coronary intervention. Veltman CE, Hoogslag GE, Kharbanda RK, de Graaf MA, van Zwet EW, van der Hoeven BL, Delgado V, Bax JJ, Scholte AJ
The presence of a left dominant coronary artery system is associated with worse outcome after ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) compared with right dominance or a balanced coronary artery system. However, the association between coronary arterial dominance and left ventricular (LV) function at follow-up after STEMI is unclear. The present study aimed at evaluating the relation between coronary arterial dominance and LV ejection fraction (LVEF) shortly after STEMI and at 12-month... Abstract

International journal of radiation oncology, biology, physics, Volume 90, Issue 1, 1 1 2014, Pages 164-171 Impact of cardiovascular counseling and screening in Hodgkin lymphoma survivors. Daniëls LA, Krol SD, de Graaf MA, Scholte AJ, van 't Veer MB, Putter H, de Roos A, Schalij MJ, van de Poll-Franse LV, Creutzberg CL
Purpose: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the most common nonmalignant cause of death in Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) survivors, especially after mediastinal irradiation. The role of screening for CVD in HL survivors is unclear, but confrontation with risks of CVD may have a negative influence on health-related quality of life (HRQL). As part of a phase 2 screening study using computed tomography angiography (CTA) among HL survivors, an HRQL analysis was done to evaluate the emotional and practical burd... Abstract

The international journal of cardiovascular imaging, Volume 31, Issue 1, 27 4 2014, Pages 151-161 Automatic detection and quantification of the Agatston coronary artery calcium score on contrast computed tomography angiography. Ahmed W, de Graaf MA, Broersen A, Kitslaar PH, Oost E, Dijkstra J, Bax JJ, Reiber JH, Scholte AJ
Potentially, Agatston coronary artery calcium (CAC) score could be calculated on contrast computed tomography coronary angiography (CTA). This will make a separate non-contrast CT scan superfluous. This study aims to assess the performance of a novel fully automatic algorithm to detect and quantify the Agatston CAC score in contrast CTA images. From a clinical registry, 20 patients were randomly selected for each CAC category (i.e. 0, 1-99, 100-399, 400-999, ≥1,000). The Agatston CAC score on no... Abstract

The American journal of cardiology, Volume 113, Issue 12, 1 1 2014, Pages 1947-1955 Feasibility of an automated quantitative computed tomography angiography-derived risk score for risk stratification of patients with suspected coronary artery disease. de Graaf MA, Broersen A, Ahmed W, Kitslaar PH, Dijkstra J, Kroft LJ, Delgado V, Bax JJ, Reiber JH, Scholte AJ
Coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA) has important prognostic value. Additionally, quantitative CTA (QCT) provides a more detailed accurate assessment of coronary artery disease (CAD) on CTA. Potentially, a risk score incorporating all quantitative stenosis parameters allows accurate risk stratification. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine if an automatic quantitative assessment of CAD using QCT combined into a CTA risk score allows risk stratification of patients. In... Abstract

Journal of nuclear medicine : official publication, Society of Nuclear Medicine, Volume 55, Issue 1, 12 2 2013, Pages 50-57 Additional diagnostic value of integrated analysis of cardiac CTA and SPECT MPI using the SMARTVis system in patients with suspected coronary artery disease. Kirişli HA, Gupta V, Shahzad R, Al Younis I, Dharampal A, Geuns RJ, Scholte AJ, de Graaf MA, Joemai RM, Nieman K, van Vliet L, van Walsum T, Lelieveldt B, Niessen WJ
Unlabelled: CT angiography (CTA) and SPECT myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) are complementary imaging techniques to assess coronary artery disease (CAD). Spatial integration and combined visualization of SPECT MPI and CTA data may facilitate correlation of myocardial perfusion defects and subtending coronary arteries and thus offer additional diagnostic value over either stand-alone or side-by-side interpretation of the respective datasets from the 2 modalities. In this study, we investigated... Abstract

Kamperidis V, de Graaf MA, Broersen A, Ahmed W, Sianos G, Delgado V, Dijkstra J, Bax JJ, Scholte AJ
Aortic valve calcium (VC) detected on noncontrast cardiac computed tomography angiography (CCTA) is known to be associated with all-cause mortality in asymptomatic and primary prevention population.

Groenink M, den Hartog AW, Franken R, Radonic T, de Waard V, Timmermans J, Scholte AJ, van den Berg MP, Spijkerboer AM, Marquering HA, Zwinderman AH, Mulder BJ
Aim: Patients with Marfan syndrome have an increased risk of life-threatening aortic complications, mostly preceded by aortic dilatation. Treatment with losartan, an angiotensin-II receptor-1 blocker, may reduce aortic dilatation rate in Marfan patients. Methods and results: In this multicentre, open-label, randomized controlled trial with blinded assessments, we compared losartan treatment with no additional treatment in operated and unoperated adults with Marfan syndrome. The primary endpoint... Abstract
