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…
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.
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…
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-…
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.
Evaluate the effect of menarche and menstrual cycle on the QTc interval among girls with genetically-confirmed mutations causing LQTS type 1 (LQT1) and type 2 (LQT2).
Our primary objective is to identify the patients with congenital heart defects in whom CHD7 mutation detection is needed. Secondly we want to identify the co-existing medical problems in children with a congenital heart defect due to a CHD7…
The main goal of this study is to examine the clinical applicability of the Monica AN24*, for the use of this device in the LUMC for prolonged CTG-registrations in high risk pregnancies and particularly in monitoring fetal cardiac arrhythmias. The…
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: To measure the effect of a high protein diet on whole body protein synthesis and -breakdown, as well as on net whole body protein balance and production of urea in children after cardiac surgerySecondary: To measure the effect of a high…
The objective of this study is to determine the frequency of previously undiagnosed SCN5A mutations leading to sudden death in temporal association with vaccination in The Netherlands.
The primary objective is to evaluate the presence of brain damage (defined by white matter lesions (WMLs) or cerebral atrophy or deviations at neuropsychological examination (NPE)) among adults with tetralogy of Fallot (TOF). The secondary objective…
1) To electrophysiologially characterise a selected, large cohort of patients prone to malignant ventricular arrhythmias (ICD recipients)2) To exactly quantitate outcome by total mortality as well as malignant arrhythmia risk through number of…
The main objectives are 1) is to evaluate the prevalence of cardiac complications long-term after ASO by investigation of cardiac function as well as clinical outcome and to determine which factors (associated with life style or operative techniques…
To establish whether carriers of LMNA mutations have a hypercoagulable state compared to non-affected family members.
