Cardiovasc Pathol . 2015 Apr; 5(2):61-8. PMID: 25851354
Endomyocardial biopsies in heart transplant patients offer the opportunity to study the myocardial interstitium in the context of myocardial function. For that purpose endomyocardial biopsies should reliably reflect the composition...

de Groot-Kruseman H, Baan C, Hagman E, Mol W, Niesters H, Maat A, et al.
Heart . 2002 Mar; 87(4):363-7. PMID: 11907013
Objective: To assess whether diastolic graft function is influenced by intragraft interleukin 2 (IL-2) messenger RNA (mRNA) expression in rejecting cardiac allografts. Design: 16 recipients of cardiac allografts were monitored...

de Leeuw N, Ruiter D, Balk A, de Jonge N, Melchers W, Galama J
Transpl Int . 2001 Nov; 14(5):299-306. PMID: 11692213
Explanted hearts were examined to determine whether specific histopathologic features are present in the myocardium of patients with end-stage idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (IDC). Extensive histopathologic examination by light microscopy, electron...

Baan C, van Riemsdijk-van Overbeeke I, Balk A, Vantrimpont P, Mol W, Knoop C, et al.
Clin Transplant . 2001 Oct; 15(4):276-83. PMID: 11683823
To determine whether conversion from cyclosporin A (CsA) to tacrolimus (TAC)-based immunosuppressive therapy is safe and might lead to improvement in the clinical side effect profile we studied 55 cardiac...

Holweg C, Baan C, Niesters H, Vantrimpont P, Mulder P, Maat A, et al.
J Heart Lung Transplant . 2001 Sep; 20(9):979-84. PMID: 11557193
Background: The regulatory cytokine transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta1 is thought to play a role in atherosclerotic heart disease as well as in idiopathic cardiomyopathy. The production of TGF-beta1 is genetically...

Holweg C, Baan C, Balk A, Niesters H, Maat A, Mulder P, et al.
Transplantation . 2001 Jun; 71(10):1463-7. PMID: 11391236
Background: The multifunctional cytokine transforming growth factor- (TGF) beta1 is thought to play a role in the pathogenesis of graft vascular disease (GVD). Polymorphisms at codon 10, (Leu10-->Pro) and codon...

de Groot-Kruseman H, Baan C, Loonen E, Mol W, Niesters H, Maat A, et al.
J Heart Lung Transplant . 2001 May; 20(5):503-10. PMID: 11343976
Background: Brain-death, ischemia and reperfusion damage have been implicated as initial factors that lead to a cascade of immunologic events that result in allograft rejection in experimental animals. Cytokines are...

Elhendy A, van Domburg R, Vantrimpont P, Sozzi F, Bax J, Poldermans D, et al.
J Heart Lung Transplant . 2001 Apr; 20(4):399-406. PMID: 11295577
Background: Dobutamine myocardial perfusion imaging is a useful method for evaluation of coronary artery disease. However, this technique does not allow for ischemia monitoring, which may have an impact on...
