Journal ArticleDOI
Energetics of Blood Flow in Cardiovascular Disease: Concept and Clinical Implications of Adverse Energetics in Patients With a Fontan Circulation.
Friso M Rijnberg,Mark G. Hazekamp,Jolanda J. Wentzel,Patrick J.H. de Koning,Jos J.M. Westenberg,Monique R.M. Jongbloed,Nico A. Blom,Arno A.W. Roest +7 more
TL;DR: The theoretical background of mechanical energy of blood flow in the cardiovascular system and the methods of calculating energy loss are described, and an overview of geometric factors associated with energy efficiency in the TCPC and its implications on clinical outcome are given.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tetralogy of fallot: 3D velocity-encoded MR imaging for evaluation of right ventricular valve flow and diastolic function in patients after correction.
Annelies E. van der Hulst,Jos J.M. Westenberg,Lucia J.M. Kroft,Jeroen J. Bax,Nico A. Blom,Albert de Roos,Arno A.W. Roest +6 more
TL;DR: Three-dimensional VEMR imaging is accurate for PV flow assessment and is more accurate than 2D VE MR imaging for TV flow evaluation and can facilitate ongoing research of diastolic dysfunction in patients with a corrected tetralogy of Fallot.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relation of left ventricular twist and global strain with right ventricular dysfunction in patients after operative "correction" of tetralogy of fallot.
Annelies E. van der Hulst,Victoria Delgado,Eduard R. Holman,Lucia J.M. Kroft,Albert de Roos,Mark G. Hazekamp,Nico A. Blom,Jeroen J. Bax,Arno A.W. Roest +8 more
TL;DR: RV strain was significantly related to LV strain and LV twist in patients with cToF and controls, indicating the presence of adverse ventricular-ventricular interaction and apical RV strain correlated with apical LV strain, indicating adverse apical ventricular -ventricular interactions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of age and gender on the QTc-interval in healthy individuals and patients with Long-QT syndrome
TL;DR: In patients with an impaired repolarization, such as long-QT syndrome (LQTS), the effect of these sex hormones on the QTc-interval is more pronounced with a differing sensitivity between the LQTS genotypes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Long-term follow-up of arterial switch operation with an emphasis on function and dimensions of left ventricle and aorta
Kristof D.H.M. Vandekerckhove,Nico A. Blom,Shirin Lalezari,Dave R. Koolbergen,Marry E.B. Rijlaarsdam,Mark G. Hazekamp +5 more
TL;DR: Clinical outcome is good 20 years after arterial switch operation and aortic valve function remains preserved in most patients, however, aorti root dilatation is present in two thirds of patients emphasizing the need for careful follow-up.
