The optimization of a whole-body PET system remains challenging task, as the imaging performance is influenced by complex interaction different design parameters. However, it not always clear which parameters have largest impact on image quality and are most eligible for optimization. To determine this, we need to be able assess their influence quality. We performed Monte-Carlo simulations scanner predict three detector parameters: TOF resolution, transverse pixel size depth-of-interaction...
Background: Adding electroanatomical left atrial (LA) voltage mapping to cryoballoon ablation (CBA) improves validation of acute pulmonary vein isolation (PVI). Aims: To determine whether the addition can improve outcome and PVI durability. Methods: One-year PV reconnection (PVR) rate at first repeat were studied in 400 AF patients a propensity-matched analysis (age, type, CHA2DS2-VASc score) between Achieve catheter-guided CBA with additional EnSite LA maps performed pre- post-CBA (mapping...

A guide 1 was used spread neighbor logic (NL)...
Non-bacterial thrombotic endocarditis is characterized by the presence of sterile vegetations on a cardiac valve. We present case multi-territory stroke caused embolism non-bacterial aortic valve endocarditis, leading to diagnosis prostate adenocarcinoma with bone metastases.A 66-year-old patient was diagnosed pulmonary embolism, first attributed an asymptomatic coronavirus disease 2019 infection. Edoxaban started, which discontinued patient. Four weeks later, he presented subacute vertigo...
Abstract Background Pocket hematoma (PH) is one of the most common complications after cardiovascular implantable electronic device (CIED) implantation resulting in an up to 9 times higher risk for CIED infections.(1) Different preventive strategies have been proposed with mixed results. Current standard care consists elastic adhesive tape leaving 2 major disadvantages: unpredictable pressure on pocket and inability visually assess bandage applied. Aim To evaluate safety effectiveness a...
Simeprevir is een nieuw geneesmiddel dat gebruikt wordt in de curatieve behandeling van hepatitis C, genotype 1 en 4. Het toegediend combinatie met peginterferon-alfa ribavirine of interferonvrije sofosbuvir. In deze casus beschrijven we het optreden ernstige fototoxiciteit bij patiente C behandeld simeprevir Fototoxiciteit gekende bijwerking simeprevir. Tijdens dan ook voorzichtigheid geboden aanbevolen om indien nodig voldoende zonwerende middelen te gebruiken overmatige blootstelling aan...
Abstract Patients with adult congenital heart disease are born structural defects who survived into adulthood. Occasionally, complex lesions remain undiagnosed, potentially causing substantial cardiovascular health problems at young age. Here, the case is presented of a patient subacute failure 1 week postpartum, revealing diagnosis aortic coarctation (CoA) patent ductus arteriosus (PDA). A 34‐year‐old woman to emergency department severe hypertension and exercise‐related dyspnoea...
