Journal ArticleDOI
C-Reactive Protein as a Cardiovascular Risk Factor More Than an Epiphenomenon?
Wim K. Lagrand,Cees A. Visser,Wim Th. Hermens,Hans W.M. Niessen,Freek W.A. Verheugt,Gertjan Wolbink,C. E. Hack +6 more
TL;DR: It is hypothesized that CRP may directly interact with atherosclerotic vessels or ischemic myocardium by activation of the complement system, thereby promoting inflammation and thrombosis and may provide new directions for prevention of cardiovascular events.
Journal ArticleDOI
Atrial Septal Aneurysm in Adult Patients A Multicenter Study Using Transthoracic and Transesophageal Echocardiography
Andreas Mügge,Werner G. Daniel,Christiane E. Angermann,Christoph H. Spes,Bijoy K. Khandheria,Itzhak Kronzon,Robin S. Freedberg,Andre Keren,Karl Dennig,Rolf Engberding,George R. Sutherland,Zvi Vered,Raimund Erbel,Cees A. Visser,Oliver Lindert,Dirk Hausmann,Paul Wenzlaff +16 more
TL;DR: In this retrospective study, patients with ASA (especially with shunts) showed a high frequency of previous clinical events compatible with cardiogenic embolism; in a significant subgroup of patients, ASA appears to be the only source of emblism, as judged by TEE.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microbubbles and ultrasound: from diagnosis to therapy
Pieter A. Dijkmans,Lynda J.M. Juffermans,René J. P. Musters,A. van Wamel,F. J. Ten Cate,W. H. Van Gilst,Cees A. Visser,N. de Jong,O. (Otto) Kamp +8 more
TL;DR: The recent advances of microbubbles as a vehicle for delivery of drugs and genes, and possible therapeutic applications in thrombolysis are reviewed and discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
C-Reactive Protein Colocalizes With Complement in Human Hearts During Acute Myocardial Infarction
Wim K. Lagrand,Hans W.M. Niessen,Gertjan Wolbink,L.H. Jaspars,Cees A. Visser,Freek W.A. Verheugt,C.J.L.M. Meijer,C. E. Hack +7 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that in humans, CRP may localize in infarcted heart tissue and suggest that this acute-phase protein promotes local complement activation, and hence tissue damage, in acute myocardial infarction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Standardizing the Definition of Hyperenhancement in the Quantitative Assessment of Infarct Size and Myocardial Viability Using Delayed Contrast-Enhanced CMR
Olga Bondarenko,Aernout M. Beek,Mark B.M. Hofman,Harald P. Kühl,Jos W. R. Twisk,Willem G. van Dockum,Cees A. Visser,Albert C. van Rossum +7 more
TL;DR: Analyzing ceCMR with a standardized definition of hyperenhancement related to the signal of remote, nonenhanced myocardium may result in considerable overestimation of infarct size at the usual cut-off of 2 SD.
