Calcific aortic valve stenosis is the most frequent valvular heart disease in Western countries, affecting up to 13% of individuals over 75 years. The disease is associated with considerable morbidity and mortality. It is characterized by fibro-calcification of aortic valve cusps and concomitant left ventricular remodelling due to chronic pressure overload, which can evolve into overt heart failure. It progresses very slowly until the onset of symptoms, the indication for aortic valve replacement. Today, about 300,000 aortic valve replacements are performed annually worldwide, either via surgery or transcatheter implantation. This is the only treatment shown to improve survival. There is no ...

Een verrassende kijk op de liefde vanuit een biologisch perspectief Meer nog dan optimisme en geluk oefent liefde een verregaande invloed uit op onze psychische en fysieke gezondheid. Barbara Fredrickson verrichtte baanbrekend onderzoek naar de kracht van positieve emoties. Daaruit bleek dat liefde, dat ze herdefi nieerde als 'een micromoment van verbondenheid', veruit de krachtigstige van deze emoties is. In Liefde 2.0 toont ze niet alleen hoe emoties inwerken op ons brein en ons lichaam, maar ook hoe we zelf micromomenten van liefde kunnen creëren en hoe deze je flexibeler, empathischer en creatiever kunnen maken.

This book covers all the major aspects associated with pathophysiological development of cardiac arrhythmias (covering enhanced or suppressed automaticity, triggered activity, or re-entry), from basic concepts through disease association, limitations of current pharmacotherapy and implant therapies and on-going trials and analysis of new biomarkers based on current knowledge of cellular interaction and signalling. The book describes novel and state-of-the-art methods for differentiating between the major types of arrhythmia, structural abnormalities and current practice guidelines and determination of risk stratification associated with sudden cardiac death. A particular focus is on arrhythmias associated with atrial fibrillation and includes details of associations with cardiac disease, current detection, analysis and imaging and future perspectives.
