Important causes are major adverse cardiac events, such as myocardial infarction and sudden cardiac arrest. Aircrew of the Royal Netherlands Air Force (RNLAF) are required to undergo periodic cardiac screening, including bicycle exercise-testing. Unfortunately, this modality lacks diagnostic accuracy for relevant coronary artery disease (CAD) in low-risk populations similar to military aircrew. Cardiac CT, however, comprising Coronary Artery Calcium score (CACS) and coronary CT angiography (CCTA), is able to adequately detect (subclinical) CAD with high negative predictive values in low-risk populations and may provide opportunity for early interventions. Methods: This was a prospective, single-center, cohort study of 250 military aircrew. Asymptomatic aircrew ≥40 years are asked to undergo a voluntary cardiac CT following routine aeromedical examination. Prevalence and severity of CAD will be descri...

Currently, various guidelines and recommendations have been published about chronic coronary syndromes (CCS). According to the recent European Society of Cardiology guidelines on chronic coronary syndrome, a multimodal imaging approach is strongly recommended in the evaluation of patients with suspected CAD. Today, in the current practice, non-invasive imaging methods can assess coronary anatomy through coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) and/or inducible myocardial ischemia through functional stress testing (stress echocardiography, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, single photon emission computed tomography—SPECT, or positron emission tomography—PET). However, recent trials (ISCHEMIA and REVIVED) have cast doubt on the previous conception of the management of patients with CCS, and nowadays it is essential to understand the limitations and ...

However, relevance of ESL disruption as causal mechanism for vascular dysfunction remains to be demonstrated. We examined if loss of ESL through enzymatic degradation would affect vascular barrier properties in an atherogenic model. Methods: Eight week old male apolipoprotein E deficient mice on Western-type diet for 10 weeks received continuous active or heat-inactivated hyaluronidase (10 U/hr, i.v.) through an osmotic minipump during 4 weeks. Blood chemistry and anatomic changes in both macrovasculature and kidneys were examined. Results: Infusion with active hyaluronidase resulted in decreased ESL (0.3260.22 mL) and plasma volume (1.0360.18 mL) compared to inactivated hyaluronidase (0.5260.29 mL and 1.2860.08 mL, p,0.05 respectively).Active hyaluronidase increased proteinuria compared to inactive hyaluronidase (0.2760.02 vs. 0.1560.01 mg/mg protein/creatinin, p,0.05) without changes in glomerular morphology or development of tubulo-interstitial inflammation. Atherosclerotic lesions in the aortic branches showed increased matrix production (collagen, 3265 vs. 1863%; glycosaminoglycans, 1165 vs. 0.160.01%, active vs. inactive hyaluronidase, p,0.05). Conclusion: ESL degradation in apoE deficient mice contributes to reduced increased urinary protein excretion without significant changes in renal morphology. Second, the induction of compositional changes in atherogenic plaques by hyaluronidase point towards increased plaque vulnerability. These findings support further efforts to evaluate whether ESL restoration is a valuable target to prevent (micro) vascular disease progression.

The endothelial glycocalyx plays a role in regulation of vascular permeability. Therapeutic interventions using a mixture of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) containing 80% heparin and 20% dermatan sulphate (sulodexide) have been shown to improve vascular barrier function by reducing microalbuminuria. Therefore we hypothesized that exogenous GAGs attenuate hyperglycemia-induced increases in endothelial permeability for albumin by restoring barrier properties of the endothelial glycocalyx. Methods: Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were cultured on semi-permeable inserts and exposed to normo-(5 mM) or hyperglycemia (25 mM) for 4 days, last 24 h in presence of the GAG mixture. Endothelial permeability was assessed by determining FITC-labeled albumin transfer over the monolayer (3 hours). Additionally, the glycocalyx glucosamine sugar residues on the endothelial cells were visualized with LEA-lectin staining. Results: Albumin permeability of endothelial cells under hyperglycemia was increased to 122 ± 8% (p < 0.01) compared to normoglycemia. Changes in albumin permeability under hyperglycemia normalized to normoglycemic control condition was-4 ± 3% (p < 0.05) in the presence of 0.06μg/mL sulodexide. Additionally, LEA-lectin revealed a 28 ± 1% (p < 0.05) increase in glucosamine staining in hyperglycemic cells in the presence of the GAG mix. Conclusion: GAG supplementation reverses the increased trans-endothelial albumin leakage under hyperglycemic conditions by restoring the barrier properties of the endothelial glycocalyx layer in vitro.
