In the current study, we want to demonstrate Rienso uptake in the vessel wall in patients with cardiovascular disease and relate the uptake of Rienso to endothelial permeability.
Primary objective: To investigate left ventricular diastolic function in AS-patients compared with osteoarthritis patients. Secondary objectives: To assess the prevalence of valvular heart diseases and conduction disturbances. To assess left…
Primary Objectives:A. To assess the reproducibility and variability (interscan, intra- and interreader) of novel (DCE-)MRI techniques to measure vessel wall dimensions, wall shear stress and vessel wall permeability in healthy and cardiovascular…
The main objective of this study is to assess the effect of an acute cardiovascular event on the local and the systemic inflammatory state in humans with AMI as well as the reversibility of these effects after 3 months.
The primary objective will be the prevalence of medial arterial calcification, defined as an ABI * 1.3 and a TBI > 0.7, among hemophiliacs compared with non- hemophiliacs matched by sex and age.
1. To investigate a possible increase intimal-media thickness (IMT) is found of the iliacal artery in endofibrosis2. To investigate a possible altered distention is found of the iliacal artery in endofibrosis3. To compare IMT and distention…
Based on the gaps in our knowledge (as stated above), we have formulated the following objectives:- To quantify the degree of hepatic fat accumulation and fibrosis in patients with HFI. - To gain more insight in the mechanism leading to NAFLD in…
The main objective of this study is to investigate whether a long lasting pro-inflammatory phenotype, the characteristic of trained immunity, is present in circulating monocytes of patients with severe periodontal disease and whether this correlates…
The main goal of this study is to assess the difference in local pulse wave velocity measured at three different points in the left and right carotid artery in healthy subjects and in patients with symptomatic and asymptomatic carotid plaques. As…
To investigate whether long-term activation of the innate immune system, named *trained innate immunity*, occurs at the level of the bone marrow progenitor cells in patients with significant coronary artery disease and whether this correlates with…
In this exploratory study we aim to explore the values of apolipoprotein B bound to erythrocytes in patients with diabetes mellitus type 1 or 2, to evaluate the relationship with clinical and subclinical atherosclerosis and to compare these results…
To characterize phenotypical parameters, cytokine production and epigenetic characteristics of monocytes in patients with diabetes mellitus type 2, stratified according to antidiabetic treatment regime. Ex vivo exploration of the conditions which…
Objectives: Part 1) To assess the prevalence of PA in general practice (part 1 of this study);Part 2) To describe differences of cardiorenovascular damage in newly diagnosed hypertensive patients with versus without PA (part 2 of this study);Part 3…
The primary aim of the proposed study is to assess whether stenting for symptomatic vertebral artery stenosis >= 50% is feasible and safe. A secondary aim is to assess the rate of new vascular events in the territory of the vertebrobasilar…
To investigate whether children with a history of Kawasaki disease have an increased IMT and arterial stifness compared to their healthy siblings.
The purpose of this study is to make it possible to make a prediction of risk of amputation stump wound healing without the need for re-intervention and whether a secondary amputation.
Since October 2010 the Catharina-hospital in Eindhoven offers a cardiac rehabilitation program to cardiovascular patients. As an optional section of the program an adjusted training of MBSR is offered, called *stress reduction in cardiovascular…
To determine the difference in EGG patterns in a fasting state and after a test meal between healthy controls and patients suffering from splanchnic ischemia (both single and multiple vessel stenosis). We hypothesize that patients with splanchnic…
- To determine the difference in baseline mucosal oxygen saturation measurements and after luminal feeding between patients diagnosed with CGI and healthy subjects. - To determine the difference in baseline mucosal oxygen saturation measurements…
The aim of this study is to investigate if changes in vascular compliance in children with type 1 diabetes are related to endothelial markers and to changes in skin AGE and to investigate whether patients at risk to develop cardiovascular disease…
