Aortic root dimension changes during systole and diastole: evaluation with ECG-gated multidetector row computed tomography
de Heer L, Budde R, Mali W, de Vos A, van Herwerden L, Kluin J
Int J Cardiovasc Imaging . 2011 Mar; 27(8):1195-204. PMID: 21359833
Cardiac pulsatility and aortic compliance may result in aortic area and diameter changes throughout the cardiac cycle in the entire aorta. Until this moment these dynamic changes could never be...

Biphasic contrast medium injection in cardiac CT: moderate versus high concentration contrast material at identical iodine flux and iodine dose
Rutten A, Meijs M, de Vos A, Seidensticker P, Prokop M
Eur Radiol . 2010 Mar; 20(8):1917-25. PMID: 20306079
Objective: To prospectively investigate the influence of contrast material concentration on enhancement in cardiac CT by using a biphasic single-injection protocol. Methods: Sixty-four-row multidetector cardiac CT angiography was performed in...

Does slice thickness affect diagnostic performance of 64-slice CT coronary angiography in stable and unstable angina patients with a positive calcium score?
Meijs M, De Vries J, Rutten A, Budde R, de Vos A, Meijboom W, et al.
Acta Radiol . 2010 Mar; 51(4):427-30. PMID: 20233143
Background: Coronary calcification can lead to over-estimation of the degree of coronary stenosis. Purpose: To evaluate whether thinner reconstruction thickness improves the diagnostic performance of 64-slice CT coronary angiography (CTCA)...

Diagnostic accuracy of 64-slice computed tomography coronary angiography: a prospective, multicenter, multivendor study
Meijboom W, Meijs M, Schuijf J, Cramer M, Mollet N, van Mieghem C, et al.
J Am Coll Cardiol . 2008 Dec; 52(25):2135-44. PMID: 19095130
Objectives: This study sought to determine the diagnostic accuracy of 64-slice computed tomographic coronary angiography (CTCA) to detect or rule out significant coronary artery disease (CAD). Background: CTCA is emerging...

Relation of epicardial and pericoronary fat to coronary atherosclerosis and coronary artery calcium in patients undergoing coronary angiography
Gorter P, de Vos A, van der Graaf Y, Stella P, Doevendans P, Meijs M, et al.
Am J Cardiol . 2008 Aug; 102(4):380-5. PMID: 18678291
Fat surrounding coronary arteries might aggravate coronary artery disease (CAD). We investigated the relation between epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) and pericoronary fat and coronary atherosclerosis and coronary artery calcium (CAC)...
6.
Non-invasive cardiac assessment in high risk patients (The GROUND study): rationale, objectives and design of a multi-center randomized controlled clinical trial
de Vos A, Rutten A, van de Zaag-Loonen H, Bots M, Dikkers R, Buiskool R, et al.
Trials . 2008 Aug; 9:49. PMID: 18673542
Background: Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a common disease associated with a considerably increased risk of future cardiovascular events and most of these patients will die from coronary artery disease...

Variability of coronary calcium scores throughout the cardiac cycle: implications for the appropriate use of electrocardiogram-dose modulation with retrospectively gated computed tomography
Rutten A, Krul S, Meijs M, de Vos A, Cramer M, Prokop M
Invest Radiol . 2008 Feb; 43(3):187-94. PMID: 18301315
Objective: To study how much the calcium scores at various phases throughout the cardiac cycle deviate from the score in the most motionless phase during retrospectively electrocardiogram (ECG)-gated multidetector row...

Peri-coronary epicardial adipose tissue is related to cardiovascular risk factors and coronary artery calcification in post-menopausal women
de Vos A, Prokop M, Roos C, Meijs M, van der Schouw Y, Rutten A, et al.
Eur Heart J . 2007 Dec; 29(6):777-83. PMID: 18156138
Aims: To determine whether peri-coronary epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is associated with vascular risk factors and coronary atherosclerosis. Methods And Results: In this study, 573 healthy post-menopausal women underwent a...

Quantification of epicardial and peri-coronary fat using cardiac computed tomography; reproducibility and relation with obesity and metabolic syndrome in patients suspected of coronary artery disease
Gorter P, van Lindert A, de Vos A, Meijs M, van der Graaf Y, Doevendans P, et al.
Atherosclerosis . 2007 Sep; 197(2):896-903. PMID: 17884060
Objective: Adipose tissue surrounding coronary arteries may contribute to the development of coronary atherosclerosis given its localisation and potential for local production of inflammatory cytokines. We compared various measurements for...

Pilot study of dynamic cine CT angiography for the evaluation of abdominal aortic aneurysms: implications for endograft treatment
Teutelink A, Rutten A, Muhs B, Olree M, van Herwaarden J, de Vos A, et al.
J Endovasc Ther . 2006 Apr; 13(2):139-44. PMID: 16643067
Purpose: To utilize 40-slice electrocardiographically (ECG)-gated cine computed tomographic angiography (CTA) to characterize normal aortic motion during the cardiac cycle at relevant anatomical landmarks in preoperative abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA)...
