Primary objectives: - to determine the inter-observer variability of VLS- to determine the intra-observer variability of VLSSecondary objectives:- to determine the inter-observer variability of VLS per specific measurement location: antrum of the…
Assessment of coronary artery disease (plaque and stenosis) by low-dose coronary Computed Tomography (CCT), with both non-contrast CT for coronary artery calcium scoring (CACS) and contrast-enhanced CT coronary angiography (CCTA) and additionally a…
The goal of this study is to evaluate if serum FGF23 levels are directly related to cardiovascular calcification, measured as arterial stiffness with pulse wave velocity. The primary objective is to evaluate if elevated serum FGF23 and decreased…
Demonstrate an association between the ACCmax and ankle-brachial index (and toe pressure) at different degrees of arterial stenosis.
The overall objective of this project is to assess the accuracy of SDCT for the detection of flow limiting stenosis in the coronary arteries using invasive FFR as the standard of reference. Whereby different subaims (e.g. improvement of FFRCT) are…
CT Angiography and MRI could provide information on lumen, vessel flow and/or plaque composition and morphology.1) Validation of CT angiography and/or MRI markers to identify the different components of the atherosclerotic plaque in the carotid…
Evaluate whether CT lung densitometry and PWV associate with plasma DES concentrations. In addition, we want to determine whether certain other laboratory determinations in the blood and condensed exhalation vapor correlate with plasma DES.
Objective: The primary objective is to analyse whether LSCI could be integrated in a PAOD endovascular operation program in a HOT, for the visualisation of the microcirculation of the foot. Therefore, stability and reproducibility of the system,…
The aim of this study is to investigate the feasibility of atherosclerotic plaque imaging using multispectral photoacoustic imaging.
* To investigate whether it*s feasible to detect within the carotid artery the carotid plaques using optoacoustic imaging with the innovative MSOT Acuity Echo in patients with symptomatic carotid stenosis. * To investigate whether the VEGF-targeted…
To determine the feasibility of spatial and temporal quantification of blood flow near stents in the superficial femoral artery, using contrast enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in high framerate (HFR) and particle image velocimetry (PIV).
The objectives of our study are (1) to evaluate the correlation between aorto-iliac calcification score and kidney function; (2) to investigate the impact of aorto-iliac calcification on graft survival, patient survival and cardiovascular event-free…
The purpose of this study is to measure platelet reactivity at different time points in patients with platelet inhibitors. The primary research question in the intra-individual variety of platelet reactivity.
The objective is to assess whether individuals identified with elevated Lp(a) through familial cascade screening have an increased presence of coronary atherosclerotic plaque compared to matched controls with normal Lp(a).
