Journal ArticleDOI
Cardiac computed tomography: Indications, applications, limitations, and training requirements - Report of a Writing Group deployed by the Working Group Nuclear Cardiology and Cardiac CT of the European Society of Cardiology and the European Council of Nuclear Cardiology
Stephen Schroeder,Stephan Achenbach,Frank M. Bengel,Christof Burgstahler,Filippo Cademartiri,Pim J. de Feyter,Richard T. George,Philipp A. Kaufmann,Andreas F. Kopp,Juhani Knuuti,Dieter Ropers,Joanne D. Schuijf,Laurens F. Tops,Jeroen J. Bax +13 more
TL;DR: The present state of cardiac CT technology, as well as the currently available data concerning its accuracy and applicability in certain clinical situations, are summarized.
Journal ArticleDOI
Noninvasive Evaluation of the Aortic Root With Multislice Computed Tomography : Implications for Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement
Laurens F. Tops,David A. Wood,Victoria Delgado,Joanne D. Schuijf,John R. Mayo,Sanjeevan Pasupati,Frouke P.L. Lamers,Ernst E. van der Wall,Martin J. Schalij,John G. Webb,Jeroen J. Bax +10 more
TL;DR: The anatomy of the aortic root was assessed noninvasively with multislice computed tomography (MSCT) and the MSCT may be helpful for avoiding paravalvular leakage and coronary occlusion and may facilitate the selection of candidates for transcatheter aortsic valve replacement.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessment of left ventricular dyssynchrony by speckle tracking strain imaging comparison between longitudinal, circumferential, and radial strain in cardiac resynchronization therapy.
Victoria Delgado,Claudia Ypenburg,Rutger J. van Bommel,Laurens F. Tops,Sjoerd A. Mollema,Nina Ajmone Marsan,Gabe B. Bleeker,Martin J. Schalij,Jeroen J. Bax +8 more
TL;DR: Speckle tracking radial strain analysis constitutes the best method to identify potential responders to CRT and reduce in LV dyssynchrony after CRT.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of aortic root dimensions and geometries before and after transcatheter aortic valve implantation by 2- and 3-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography and multislice computed tomography.
Arnold C.T. Ng,Victoria Delgado,Frank van der Kley,Miriam Shanks,Nico Van de Veire,Matteo Bertini,Gaetano Nucifora,Rutger J. van Bommel,Laurens F. Tops,Arend de Weger,Giuseppe Tavilla,Albert de Roos,Lucia J.M. Kroft,Dominic Y. Leung,Joanne D. Schuijf,Martin J. Schalij,Jeroen J. Bax +16 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared 3D transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) measurements with multislice computed tomography (MSCT) and changes in annular/LVOT areas and geometries after transcatheter aortic valve implantations.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effects of right ventricular apical pacing on ventricular function and dyssynchrony implications for therapy.
TL;DR: A review of the available evidence on the detrimental effects of RV apical pacing is provided in this article, where the role of cardiac resynchronization therapy and alternative RV pacing sites in these patients is reviewed.
