Conraads V, Spruit M, Braunschweig F, Cowie M, Tavazzi L, Borggrefe M, et al.
Circ Heart Fail . 2014 Feb; 7(2):279-87. PMID: 24519908
Background: Physical activity (PA) predicts cardiovascular mortality in the population at large. Less is known about its prognostic value in patients with chronic heart failure (HF). Methods And Results: Data...

Haine S, Van Craenenbroeck E, Hoymans V, Miljoen H, Vandendriessche T, Claeys M, et al.
Can J Cardiol . 2013 Dec; 30(1):102-8. PMID: 24365195
Background: Angiographic and clinical parameters are poor predictors of in-stent restenosis. Bone marrow-derived CD34(+) cells that coexpress a receptor for vascular endothelial growth factor (kinase insert domain receptor [KDR]) are...

Denollet J, Pedersen S, Vrints C, Conraads V
Psychosom Med . 2013 Oct; 75(9):873-81. PMID: 24163388
Objective: Methodological considerations and selected null findings indicate the need to reexamine the Type D construct. We investigated whether associations with cardiac events in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD)...

Van Berendoncks A, Stensvold D, Garnier A, Fortin D, Sente T, Vrints C, et al.
Eur J Prev Cardiol . 2013 Oct; 22(2):203-5. PMID: 24104889
Patients with metabolic syndrome are characterized by low circulating adiponectin levels and reduced adiponectin sensitivity in skeletal muscles. Through binding on its main skeletal muscle receptor AdipoR1, adiponectin activates AMP-activated...

Bruyndonckx L, Radtke T, Eser P, Vrints C, Ramet J, Wilhelm M, et al.
Int J Cardiol . 2013 Aug; 168(4):3183-90. PMID: 23972967
Endothelial dysfunction is recognized as the primum movens in the development of atherosclerosis. Its crucial role in both cardiovascular morbidity and mortality has been confirmed. In the past, research was...

van Ierssel S, Van Craenenbroeck E, Hoymans V, Vrints C, Conraads V, Jorens P
PLoS One . 2013 Aug; 8(8):e69499. PMID: 23936333
Background: Outcome in sepsis is mainly defined by the degree of organ failure, for which endothelial dysfunction at the macro- and microvascular level is an important determinant. In this study...

Interact Cardiovasc Thorac Surg . 2013 Aug; 17(5):875-7. PMID: 23900382
The left ventricular apical core biopsy performed during implantation of a left ventricular assist device (VAD) is a well-known diagnostic procedure in confirming cardiomyopathies leading to end-stage heart failure. We...

Int J Cardiol . 2013 May; 168(4):3532-6. PMID: 23711446
Background: Exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation is considered an important adjunct treatment and secondary prevention measure in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). However, the issues of training modality and exercise intensity...

Eur J Heart Fail . 2013 May; 15(7):756-62. PMID: 23639779
Aims: Red cell distribution width (RDW), a measure of variability in red blood cell size, is a novel prognostic marker in chronic heart failure (CHF). Iron deficiency contributes to elevated...
