Heart (British Cardiac Society), Volume 88, Issue 5, 1 1 2002, Pages 515-519 ECG predictors of ventricular arrhythmias and biventricular size and wall mass in tetralogy of Fallot with pulmonary regurgitation. Helbing WA, Roest AA, Niezen RA, Vliegen HW, Hazekamp MG, Ottenkamp J, de Roos A, van der Wall EE
Background: In patients with the tetralogy of Fallot, QRS prolongation predicts malignant ventricular arrhythmias. QRS prolongation may result from right ventricular dilatation. The relation of ECG markers to biventricular wall mass and volumes has not been assessed. Objective: To investigate the relations of surface ECG markers of depolarisation and repolarisation to right and left ventricular volume and biventricular wall mass. Methods: 37 Fallot patients (mean (SD) age 17 (9) years) were stud... Abstract

Circulation, Volume 106, Issue 13, 1 1 2002, Pages 1703-1707 Magnetic resonance imaging to assess the hemodynamic effects of pulmonary valve replacement in adults late after repair of tetralogy of fallot. Vliegen HW, van Straten A, de Roos A, Roest AA, Schoof PH, Zwinderman AH, Ottenkamp J, van der Wall EE, Hazekamp MG
Background: Pulmonary regurgitation (PR) late after total correction for tetralogy of Fallot may lead to progressive right ventricular (RV) dilatation and an increased incidence of severe arrhythmias and sudden death. Timing of pulmonary valve replacement (PVR) is subject to discussion, because the effect of PVR on RV function in adults is unclear. In this study, MRI was used to assess the effect of PVR on RV function and PR. Clinical improvement was established by means of the NYHA classificati... Abstract

Coronary artery anomalies occur in 0.3-0.8% of the population and infer a high risk for sudden cardiac death in young adults. Diagnosis is usually established during coronary angiography, which is hampered by poor spatial visualization. Magnetic resonance imaging is an alternative, but it is not feasible in the presence of metal objects or claustrophobia. In this report, a 15-year-old boy experienced ventricular fibrillation and was successfully resuscitated. Cardiac catheterization was inconclu... Abstract

Diabetes care, Volume 25, Issue 5, 1 1 2002, Pages 906-911 Impact of simultaneous pancreas and kidney transplantation on progression of coronary atherosclerosis in patients with end-stage renal failure due to type 1 diabetes. Jukema JW, Smets YF, van der Pijl JW, Zwinderman AH, Vliegen HW, Ringers J, Reiber JH, Lemkes HH, van der Wall EE, de Fijter JW
Objective: Mortality in type 1 diabetic patients with end-stage renal failure is high and dominated by coronary atherosclerotic events. With regard to prognosis, simultaneous transplantation of pancreas and kidney (SPK) may be superior to kidney transplantation alone (KTA) in type 1 diabetic patients, because normalization of blood glucose levels may reduce progression of coronary atherosclerosis and because it is well known that progression of coronary atherosclerosis is one of the major factor...

Background: The application of previous magnetic resonance (MR) angiography techniques has enabled noninvasive differentiation between patent and occluded coronary artery bypass grafts. However, the detection of graft stenosis remains difficult. The purpose of our study was to determine the accuracy of high-resolution navigator-gated 3-dimensional (3-D) MR angiography in detecting vein graft disease.

The American journal of cardiology, Volume 88, Issue 9, 1 1 2001, Pages 1011-1017 Prolonged cardiac recovery from exercise in asymptomatic adults late after atrial correction of transposition of the great arteries: evaluation with magnetic resonance flow mapping. Roest AA, Kunz P, Helbing WA, Lamb HJ, Vliegen HW, van den Aardweg JG, Ruitenberg Q, de Roos A, van der Wall EE
After atrial correction of transposition of the great arteries (TGA), dysfunction of the systemic right ventricle at rest and during exercise has been reported. Information on changes in systemic right ventricular function during recovery from exercise is lacking. This study evaluates cardiac recovery from supine exercise using magnetic resonance (MR) imaging in patients with asymptomatic TGA after atrial correction.

Smit JW, Janssen YJ, Lamb HJ, van der Wall EE, Stokkel MP, Viergever E, Biermasz NR, Bax JJ, Vliegen HW, de Roos A, Romijn JA, Roelfsema F
Beneficial effects of recombinant human GH on cardiac function have been reported in humans with GH deficiency and in patients with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy. No randomized controlled trial has been performed on the effects of recombinant human GH on cardiac function in patients with ischemic cardiac failure. We therefore randomly assigned 22 patients with ischemic cardiac failure (left ventricular ejection fraction, Abstract
