Primary Objectives:- Determine the effect of pulmonary vasodilatation on indexed cardiac output during simulated exercise.- Characterization of structural properties of small pulmonary arteries.Secondary Objectives: - Investigate the effect of…
The BAV study is a clinical and genetic study to unravel biomarker and imaging predictors of adverse outcome and to explore the pathogenetic basis of bicuspid aortic valves and it*s associated pathologies. We will also deliver insights in the…
To evaluate the clinical usefulness of the VU-AMS in pediatric cardiology.To validate and improve the measures of stroke volume from the VU-AMS device in a clinical population. VU-AMS stroke volume measures will be compared with stroke volume…
To gain a better insight into the genetic factors that play a role in the etiology of the thoracic aortic aneurysm with the following specific aims:1. Study of specific geneitc factos that play a role in the pathogenesis of both syndromic and non-…
The primary objective of this study is to identify mutations associated with the development of a bicuspid aortic valve. To this end the study will focus on genes important for aortic valve formation. As an extension of the primary objective, a…
Primary Objectives: To prospectively investigate the changes in cardiac parameters (echocardiography, NT-pro-BNP) and uteroplacental flow (pulsatility index, diastolic notching) during/after pregnancy in women with CHD and compare these changes with…
We set out to evaluate the genetic basis of dyslipidemia and cardiovascular disease.
1. The application of 4D flow MR imaging to analyse blood flow patterns (flow angle, flow asymmetry), regional vessel wall parameters (regional wall shear stress, vessel wall thickness) and pulsed-wave velocity in neoaortic root, carotid artery and…
Primary Objective(s): - To determine the relation between CPET and pulmonary and muscular performance in patients with Tetralogy of Fallot.- To study the effect of previous lateral thoracotomy on pulmonary function and exercise.Secondary Objective(s…
Using epigenetic, transcriptional, metabolomic and proteomic approaches in cardiac and skeletal muscle tissue, we want to reveal distinct biological pathways affected in ACM, DCM and PLN r14del cardiomyopathy.
Primary objectives: The first aim is to examine the role of microtubule network in electrical conduction, protein localization and function in induced cardiomyocytes from pediatric BrS patients, life threatening ventricular arrhythmia patients and…
Evaluate the effect of the menstrual cycle on QTc among females with LQT1 or LQT2 and to put our previous findings in a broader perspective by including controls groups and older females.
The main objective of this study is to obtain valuable biomarkers that are useful in the prediction of the presence of (subtypes of PH) and/or treatment responses. Nucleic acid expression patterns will be determined in plasma and peripheral blood.…
Primary Objective: To investigate motor developmental outcome at school age of children with CHD compared to typically developing peers.Secondary Objective(s): - To investigate neurodevelopmental outcom eat school age on several developmental…
to quantify atrial electropathology of the endocardium in adult patients with CHD and to correlate clinical characteristics, atrial volume, electropathology, atrial ectopy and features of pre- and post-procedural atrial fibrillation.
The objective of this study is to identify biomarkers predictive for the development of HCM in asymptomatic MYBPC3 mutation carriers and to identify prognostic biomarkers in mutation carriers in whom the disease has already been revealed. In order…
The primary objective of this study is to describe the intracardiac anatomy and hemodynamics of DILV patients without Fontan circulation using 4D MRI. Furthermore, the functional status and quality of life of these patients will be assessed and…
The main objective of this study is to find biomarkers for the prognosis of the BAV patients by investigating ECFC and EPC functioning, and to gain knowledge on physiological and pathological processes in patients by investigating molecular…
Describe the electrocardiographic changes and areas of late myocardial activation encountered in PLN and PKP2 mutation carriers during ajmaline provocation and the relation of these differences to the development for early stages of arrhythmogenic…
