The main objective is to determine if bisphosphonate therapy with etidronate leads to stabilization or attenuation of ongoing calcification in the leg arteries as quantified by 18F-sodium fluoride(18F-NaF) PET-CT imaging in patients with PXE.…
The aim of this project is to evaluate the clinical value of biomarkers in adult patients with congenital heart disease, in particular:1) quantify biomarkers of neurohormonal activity as NTproBNP, endotheline-1 and of immunological activity as CRP,…
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…
Primary Objective: to determine the prevalence of MTWA in adults with congenital heart disease who are deemed to be at high risk for ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death.Secondary Objective(s): • to describe the clinical usefulness and…
The primary objective of this study is to measure whether αvβ3 integrin expression and tracer uptake values of 68Ga-DOTA-(RGD)2 change in patients with (recurrent) low-flow vascular malformations after embolization therapy.
To assess the accuracy and cost-effectiveness of PO screening for CCHD in the Dutch perinatal care system.
Area of interest (study setting): Specific aims:Transient triggers and chronic riskfactors (case-crossover and casecontrol)(1) To investigate frequency and strength of association between transient physical andpsychological triggers and early-onset…
The primary objective is to investigate the determinants of aortic root deformation occurring >= 3 months after successful ASO implantation in adult patients with an atrial septal defect.
The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between atrial septal defects and airway responsiveness before and after percutaneous closure.
Primary Objective: to derive iPSCs from patients with a variety of diseases caused by genetic mutations or genetic predisposition to disease or of unknown origin. The cells will be propagated and differentiated into a variety of somatic cell types…
The aim of this study is to identify genetic defects underlying CHD and aortic aneurysms. This will provide insight in the aetiology and heredity of these diseases.
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…
This study is aimed at determining pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of medications routinely used at the Erasmus Medical Centre in pediatric cardiac surgery during and after cardiopulmonary bypass. The goal is to be able to formulate evidence…
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-…
1. Validation - of an independent geneset - of TLA technology as a new DNA diagnostic test for complete sequencing of selected genes.2. The search for structural chromosome changes in patients with ROW disease who where tested negative for mutations…
The Cardiomyopathy Registry Study (CARS)-II aims to1) Create a national cohort with biorepository of patients with paediatric DCM2) To elucidate (epi) genetic causes of iDCM in a uniform and state of the art way.3) Identify clinical risk factors for…
To investigate whether it is feasible to perform a large national implementation study in which community based midwives in the Netherlands use a pulse oximeter for screening newborns for CHD.
(1) to determine the feasibility to sense and pace the myocardium with an- ICD lead placed in an alternative position (2) to determine the best position for pacing and sensing in the alternative position(3) to determine the safety and feasibility to…
To phenotype and genotype the population of patients with IVF in our cohort, and to find alternative diagnoses as a cause of the event of VF.
