AIMS: The purpose of the Euro Heart Survey Programme of the European Society of Cardiology is to evaluate to which extent clinical practice endorses existing guidelines as well as to identify differences in population profiles, patient management, and outcome across Europe. The current survey focuses on the invasive diagnosis and treatment of patients with established coronary artery disease (CAD). METHODS AND RESULTS: Between November 2001 and March 2002, 7769 consecutive patients undergoing invasive evaluation at 130 hospitals (31 countries) were screened for the presence of one or more coronary stenosis >50% in diameter. Patient demographics and comorbidity, clinical presentation, invasive parameters, treatment options, and procedural techniques were prospectively entered in an electronic database (550 variables+29 per diseased coronary segment). Major adverse cardiac events (MACE) were evaluated at 30 days and 1 year. Out of 5619 patients with angiographically proven coronary stenosis (72% of screened population), 53% presented with stable angina while ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) was the indication for coronary angiography in 16% and non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction or unstable angina in 30%. Only medical therapy was continued in 21%, whereas mechanical revascularization was performed in the remainder [percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in 58% and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in 21%]. Patients referred for PCI were younger, were more active, had a lower risk profile, and had less comorbid conditions. CABG was performed mostly in patients with left main lesions (21%), two- (25%), or three-vessel disease (67%) with 4.1 diseased segments, on average. Single-vessel PCI was performed in 82% of patients with either single- (45%), two- (33%), or three-vessel disease (21%). Stents were used in 75% of attempted lesions, with a large variation between sites. Direct PCI for STEMI was performed in 410 cases, representing 7% of the entire workload in the participating catheterization laboratories. Time delay was within 90 min in 76% of direct PCI cases. In keeping with the recommendations of practice guidelines, the survey identified under-use of adjunctive medication (GP IIb/IIIa receptor blockers, statins, and angiotensin-converting enzyme-inhibitors). Mortality rates at 30 days and 1 year were low in all subgroups. MACE primarily consisted of repeat PCI (12%). CONCLUSION: The current Euro Heart Survey on coronary revascularization was performed in the era of bare metal stenting and provides a global European picture of the invasive approach to patients with CAD. These data will serve as a benchmark for the future evaluation of the impact of drug-eluting stents on the practice of interventional cardiology and bypass surgery.

Objective: Self-perceived health status may be helpful in identifying patients at high risk for adverse outcomes. The Euro Heart Survey on Coronary Revascularization (EHS-CR) provided an opportunity to explore whether impaired health status was a predictor of 1-year mortality in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) undergoing angiographic procedures. Methods: Data from the EHS-CR that included 5619 patients from 31 member countries of the European Society of Cardiology were used. Inclusion criteria for the current study were completion of a self-report measure of health status, the EuroQol Questionnaire (EQ-5D) at discharge and information on 1-year follow-up, resulting in a study population of 3786 patients. Results: The 1-year mortality was 3.2% (n = 120). Survivors reported fewer problems on the five dimensions of the EQ-5D as compared with non-survivors. A broad range of potential confounders were adjusted for, which reached a p

Aims: Revascularization in patients with coronary artery disease changed over the last two decades, favouring the number of patients treated by means of percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) when compared with coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Many randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have been performed to compare these two competing revascularization techniques. Because of the strict enrolment criteria of RCTs in which highly selected patients are recruited, the applicability of the results may be limited in clinical practice. The current study evaluates to what extent patients in clinical practice were similar to those who participated in RCTs comparing PCI with CABG. Methods and results: Clinical characteristics and 1-year outcome of 4713 patients enrolled in the Euro Heart Survey on Coronary Revascularization were compared with 8647 patients who participated in 14 major RCTs, comparing PCI with CABG. In addition, we analysed which proportion of survey patients would have disqualified for trial participation (n = 3033, 64%), aiming at identifying differences between trial-eligible and trial-ineligible survey patients. In general, important differences were observed between trial participants and survey patients. Patients in clinical practice were older, more often had comorbid conditions, single-vessel disease, and left main stem stenosis when compared with trial participants. Almost identical differences were observed between trial-eligible and trial-ineligible survey patients. In clinical practice, PCI was the treatment of choice, even in patients who were trial-ineligible (46% PCI, 26% CABG, 28% medical). PCI remained the preferred treatment option in patients with multi-vessel disease (57% in trial-eligible and 40% in trial-ineligible patients, respectively, P < 0.001); yet, the risk profile of patients treated by PCI was better than that for patients treated either by CABG or by medical therapy. In the RCTs, there was no mortality difference between PCI and CABG. In clinical practice, however, we observed 1-year unadjusted survival benefit for PCI vs. CABG (2.9 vs. 5.4%, P < 0.001). Survival benefit was only observed in trial-ineligible patients (3.3 vs. 6.2%, P < 0.001). Conclusion: Many patients in clinical practice were not represented in RCTs. Moreover, only 36% of these patients were considered eligible for participating in a trial comparing PCI with CABG. We demonstrated that RCTs included younger patients with a better cardiovascular risk profile when compared with patients in everyday clinical practice. This study highlights the disparity between patients in clinical practice and patients in whom the studies that provide the evidence for treatment guidelines are performed. © The European Society of Cardiology 2006.

- Abstract
Aims: Our aim was to report on a survey initiated by the European Association of Percutaneous Cardiovascular Interventions (EAPCI) concerning opinion on the evidence relating to dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) duration after coronary stenting. Methods and results: Results from three randomised clinical trials were scheduled to be presented at the American Heart Association Scientific Sessions 2014 (AHA 2014). A web-based survey was distributed to all individuals registered in the EuroIntervention mailing list (n=15,200) both before and after AHA 2014. A total of 1,134 physicians responded to the first (i.e., before AHA 2014) and 542 to the second (i.e., after AHA 2014) survey. The majority of respondents interpreted trial results consistent with a substantial equipoise regarding the benefits and risks of an extended versus a standard DAPT strategy. Two respondents out of ten believed extended DAPT should be implemented in selected patients. After AHA 2014, 46.1% of participants expressed uncertainty about the available evidence on DAPT duration, and 40.0% the need for clinical guidance. Conclusions: This EAPCI survey highlights considerable uncertainty within the medical community with regard to the optimal duration of DAPT after coronary stenting in the light of recent reported trial results. Updated recommendations for practising physicians to guide treatment decisions in routine clinical practice should be provided by international societies.

Objective: To explore the morphological and functional effect of selective and non-selective endothelin (ET)-receptor blockade in coronary artery disease (CAD). Design: Prospective randomised controlled trial. Setting: University hospital. Patients: 26 patients with stable CAD. Interventions: Intracoronary infusion (30 minutes) of the ET-A receptor blocker BQ-123 (40 nmol/min, group A, n = 13) alone or with the ET-B receptor blocker BQ-788 (10 nmol/min, group AB, n = 13) as well. Main outcome measures: Fractional flow reserve (FFR), coronary flow reserve (CFR) and intramyocardial resistance (IMR) by PressureWire, mean arterial blood pressure (MAP), minimal lumen diameter (MLD) and average angiographic lumen diameter (mean LD) of the target vessel before and after intracoronary infusion of ET antagonists. Concentrations of C-terminal pro-endothelin-1 (CT-proET1) in arterial blood were determined before and after infusion. Results: Mean MLD, mean LD, FFR, CFR, IMR and MAP remained unaffected by ET-receptor blockade in both groups; their changes were comparable. Concentrations of CT-proET-1 increased by 6.2 (SD 5.9) pmol/l (95% CI 1.2 to 11.1 pmol/l; p = 0.022) in group A and by 4.1 (SD 4.3) pmol/l (95% CI 1.1 to 7.2 pmol/l; p = 0.014) in group AB. Conclusions: We found a broad variety of individual haemodynamic responses to ET-receptor antagonists with an overall neutral effect after an infusion period of 30 minutes despite an overall effective blockade of ET-receptors. Prolonged infusion time may be needed to cause a more distinct vasomotor response. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AIMS Our aim was to report on a survey initiated by the European Association of Percutaneous Cardiovascular Interventions (EAPCI) concerning opinion on the evidence relating to dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) duration after coronary stenting. METHODS AND RESULTS Results from three randomised clinical trials were scheduled to be presented at the American Heart Association Scientific Sessions 2014 (AHA 2014). A web-based survey was distributed to all individuals registered in the EuroIntervention mailing list (n=15,200) both before and after AHA 2014. A total of 1,134 physicians responded to the first (i.e., before AHA 2014) and 542 to the second (i.e., after AHA 2014) survey. The majority of respondents interpreted trial results consistent with a substantial equipoise regarding the benefits and risks of an extended versus a standard DAPT strategy. Two respondents out of ten believed extended DAPT should be implemented in selected patients. After AHA 2014, 46.1% of participants expressed uncertainty about the available evidence on DAPT duration, and 40.0% the need for clinical guidance. CONCLUSIONS This EAPCI survey highlights considerable uncertainty within the medical community with regard to the optimal duration of DAPT after coronary stenting in the light of recent reported trial results. Updated recommendations for practising physicians to guide treatment decisions in routine clinical practice should be provided by international societies.

- Abstract
The aim of the present study was to investigate whether the isoprostane 8-epi-PGF2 alpha differently accumulates in semilunar valves of patients suffering from coronary heart disease (CHD, n = 19) as compared to valves from healthy heart donors (controls, n = 6). Sections from isolated aortic and pulmonary valves were analyzed by semiquantitative immunohistochemistry. The 8-epi-PGF2 alpha-content was determined by using a specific radioimmunoassay. The accumulation of 8-epi-PGF2 alpha in both valves was higher in CHD-patients in comparison to controls (Aortic valves: 36.49 +/- 11.26% vs. 15.78 +/- 3.04%; pulmonary valves: 46.79 +/- 9.80% vs. 14.99 +/- 3.57%). The results from the radioimmunoassay revealed comparable findings in both groups (CHD vs. controls: 395.95 +/- 86.09 vs. 139.50 +/- 47.46 pg/mg protein in the aortic valves and 430.47 +/- 76.30 vs. 147.33 +/- 53.84 pg/mg protein in pulmonary valves). Pulmonary valves seem to be more susceptible to oxidative stress than aortic valves as evidenced by a higher accumulation of 8-epi-PGF2 alpha in CHD patients. Considering the data presented in this study, we suggest that 8-epi-PGF2 alpha is a valuable indicator of oxidative injury in human semilunar valves.

- Abstract
Previous studies presented evidence for impaired nocturnal secretion and synthesis of melatonin in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD). This study aimed to investigate whether the melatonin receptor subtype mt1 is differentially expressed in coronary arteries derived from patients with CHD (n = 9) compared to patients with dilative cardiomyopathy (CMP; n = 10) who served as controls. Expression of the mt1 receptor was studied in sections of isolated coronary arteries by a reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and a Western immunoblot technique. In addition, the data from the Western blotting of 15 patients were interpolated against the exact time of aortic clamp to study the 24h expression of the mt1 receptor. The analyses of the results from both methods indicated the presence of the mt1 receptor in all of the individuals. No statistically significant difference was observed in the receptor expression between patients with CHD and those with CMP (in arbitrary units: 3.39 +/- 3.08 versus 3.91 +/- 2.78). Expression of the melatonin receptor in the coronary arteries of the whole patient group presented a 24h variation, with the lowest values detectable after 02:00 up to the late morning hours and a progressive increase beginning after 13:00 until 00:00 (mesor = 3.66, amplitude = 3.23, acrophase = 20.45, P = .0003). When studying the 24h variation in patients with CHD and CMP separately, a nearly similar circadian course was observed. In conclusion, we demonstrated for the first time a 24h variation of a melatonin receptor subtype in human vessels. Furthermore, in relation to our results, we suggest that the expression of the mt1 melatonin receptor in the coronary arteries is probably not impaired in patients with CHD.

- Abstract
Objectives: In a histopathologic study, we assessed the balance of cell proliferation and apoptosis by counting the number of apoptotic and proliferating cell nuclear antigen-positive cells in freshly harvested atherectomy specimens from 34 patients., Background: Remodeling of human coronary arteries is an adaptive process that alters vascular lumen size., Methods: Intravascular ultrasound was performed prior to atherectomy. Total vessel area (area within the external elastic lamina [EEL]), lumen area and plaque area were measured at the region of interest (ROI), and at a proximal and distal reference segment, utilizing the formula Delta(%)=100x(ROI-reference segment)/reference segment. Positive arterial remodeling (R+) resulting in luminal expansion was defined as DeltaEEL >10%. Absence of remodeling (0 < DeltaEEL <10%) and constrictive arterial remodeling (DeltaEEL <0) were considered as neutral remodeling (R0) and negative remodeling (R-), respectively., Results: In R- lesions, apoptotic indices (APO) were significantly elevated (17.17 +/- 2.19%) compared with R+ lesions (4.89 +/- 1.7%; p = 0.0007). In a rabbit iliac percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty model intimal apoptosis was increased four weeks after balloon angioplasty injury (APO 8.8 +/- 0.03%) compared with contralateral untreated segments (APO 3.0 +/- 0.04%, n = 6). Lesions with an EEL/intimal area <3.0 showed significantly more intimal apoptosis than untreated lesions (p = 0.02)., Conclusions: The data indicate that constrictive remodeling of atherosclerotic coronary lesions is associated with increased apoptosis of intimal cells. We speculate that increased apoptosis is due to extensive plaque healing after episodes of symptomatic or asymptomatic plaque rupture.

- Abstract
Background: Chlamydia pneumoniae, a respiratory pathogen, has been connected with the pathogenesis of coronary artery disease (CAD). Previous studies indicated a correlation between antibodies to chlamydial LPS and the risk of cardiovascular disease. The aim of this study was to determine whether C. pneumoniae plays a direct role in the pathology of acute coronary syndromes (ACS)., Methods and Results: Twenty-five consecutive patients (median age 56 years) with ACS (17 acute myocardial infarction, 8 unstable angina) were included in the study and underwent directional coronary atherectomy. Tissue and blood samples were subjected to conventional and real time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for C. pneumoniae. Antichlamydial immunoglobulin A (IgA) and IgG were examined by LPS enzyme immunoassay (EIA) and microimmunofluorescence (MIF) at intervention and on days 20, 45 and 180 thereafter. DNA of C. pneumoniae was detected neither in atherectomy samples nor in peripheral blood. Serologic results with LPS EIA showed a rapid and significant increase in specific IgA and IgG within 20 days including seroconversion in six cases (4 IgA, 2 IgG). Positive IgA and IgG MIF levels (30% and 87%) remained stable throughout the observation period., Conclusions: We conclude that negative detection of chlamydial DNA excludes a direct role of chlamydia in ACS. Our findings of rapid LPS antibody increase suggest a role of chlamydial LPS antigen which appears to be released during the acute event e.g. from damaged tissue, indicating a renewed accessibility to the immune system. An indirect role of chlamydia in the further aetiologic process of CAD seems possible.

- Abstract
Background: Prostaglandin E(1) (PGE(1)) is a potent vasodilator and induces angiogenesis in animal tissues. Previous clinical studies demonstrated that PGE(1) improves hemodynamic parameters in patients with heart failure listed for heart transplantation (HTX). Therefore, we designed a retrospective immunohistochemistry study to investigate various markers of angiogenesis using hearts explanted from PGE(1)-treated patients with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (IDCM)., Methods and Results: We investigated neovascularization in 18 hearts explanted from patients with IDCM: 9 patients received treatment with chronic infusions of PGE(1) for end-stage heart failure before HTX, whereas the remaining patients with IDCM did not receive PGE(1) and served as controls. We used immunoreactivity against CD34, von Willebrand factor (vWf), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and MIB-1 (Ki-67) to quantify angiogenesis, and used sirius red staining to determine the degree of fibrosis. Compared with the control group, PGE(1)-treated patients had significantly more CD34-, vWf- and MIB-1-positive cells in the sub-endocardium, myocardium and sub-epicardium (p < 0.01). The degree of fibrosis in the hearts of PGE(1)-treated patients was significantly lower than in control patients (p < 0.05), but we did not see any difference in the percentage of muscle mass. Finally, throughout the ventricles, we found significantly more VEGF-positive capillaries in the PGE(1) group (p < 0.0001)., Conclusions: The data suggest that PGE(1) could be a potent inducer of angiogenesis and the angiogenic factor VEGF, and could cause reduced fibrosis in the failing human heart.

- Abstract
Previous experimental data suggest a possible influence of melatonin on the circulatory system of animals after binding to G-protein coupled melatonin receptors. The present study sought to investigate whether the melatonin receptor, mt1, is expressed in human coronary arteries derived from healthy heart donors (n = 8). Expression of the mt1-receptor was studied in sections of isolated coronary arteries by a reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Western immunoblot technique. The analyses of the results from both methods indicated the presence of the mt1-receptor in all of the subjects. Referring to these data we assume that melatonin regulates physiological processes in human coronary arteries after receptor binding.

- Abstract
Background: In addition to its known properties as a competitive, nonselective beta and alpha-1 receptor blocker, carvedilol directly inhibits vascular myocyte migration and proliferation and exerts antioxidant effects that are considerably greater than those of vitamin E or probucol. This provides the basis for an evaluation of carvedilol for the prevention of coronary restenosis., Methods and Results: In a prospective, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial, 25 mg of carvedilol was given twice daily, starting 24 hours before scheduled directional coronary atherectomy and continuing for 5 months after a successful procedure. The primary end point was the minimal luminal diameter as determined during follow-up angiography 26+/-2 weeks after the procedure. Of 406 randomized patients, 377 underwent attempted atherectomy, and in 324 (88.9%), a =50% diameter stenosis was achieved without the use of a stent. Evaluable follow-up angiography was available in 292 eligible patients (90%). No differences in minimal luminal diameter (1.99+/-0.73 mm versus 2.00+/-0.74 mm), angiographic restenosis rate (23.4% versus 23.9%), target lesion revascularization (16.2 versus 14.5), or event-free survival (79.2% versus 79.7%) between the placebo and carvedilol groups were observed at 7 months., Conclusions: The maximum recommended daily dose of the antioxidant and beta-blocker carvedilol failed to reduce restenosis after successful atherectomy. These findings are in contrast to those of the Multivitamins and Probucol Trial, which raises doubts regarding the validity of the interpretation that restenosis reduction by probucol was via antioxidant effects. The relationship between antioxidant agents and restenosis remains to be elucidated.

- Abstract
Objective: Recent data indicate that oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) has several proatherogenic effects, e.g. induction of macrophage chemoattractants, adhesion molecules, cytokines, type-1 plasminogen activator inhibitor and platelet-derived growth factor A-chain by smooth muscle cells. Therefore, ox-LDL has been utilized as a marker of oxidative modification of proteins in atherosclerosis. Because heart valves consist of smooth muscle cells, fibroblasts and endothelial cells, and because valvular disease and coronary atherosclerosis could result from similar biological processes, we investigated ox-LDL accumulation in isolated aortic and pulmonary valves and coronary arteries from patients with angiographically proven coronary heart disease (CHD, n = 19), patients with idiopathic congestive heart failure (IDCM = idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy, n = 20), and transplant donors., Methods: Masson-Goldner staining and immunohistochemistry utilizing anti ox-LDL and CD68 were performed on paraffin sections of freshly isolated semilunar valves. Data were analyzed by digital image planimetry and by visual scoring of staining intensity., Results: Ox-LDL immunoreactivity was identified in the vascular aspect of the attachment line, in the deep valve stroma, and in the ventricular and vascular endothelium of the semilunar valves, colocalizing with macrophages. Valvular ox-LDL area was significantly increased in CHD-patients (P < 0.03) and IDCM-patients (P < 0.04) compared with controls. More ox-LDL was accumulating in the pulmonary valves than in the aortic valves (P = 0.04) as assessed by area and staining intensity. Valvular ox-LDL area in pulmonary valve and aortic valve was significantly correlated with ox-LDL accumulation in the intimal layer (P < 0.001) and medial layer (P < 0.001) of coronary arteries from the same patients., Conclusion: The data suggest that the biological process leading to ox-LDL accumulation in coronary atherosclerosis also involves heart valves. Therefore, accumulation of the oxidative stress marker ox-LDL in heart valves illustrates atherosclerosis as an additional mechanisms accelerating valvular degeneration in these patients.

- Abstract
The role of magnesium in coronary artery disease has been evaluated extensively during the last three decades. The intravenous application of magnesium in acute coronary syndromes is of major importance, the beneficial effects of magnesium in acute myocardial infarction have been underlined in several studies. The promising results of LIMIT-2 could not be confirmed by the data of ISIS-4. A world-wide, multicenter trial (MAGIC) has been set up in order to evaluate the optimal patient cohort as well as the ideal dose regimen for the application of intravenous magnesium in patients with acute MI. Furthermore, magnesium is of significance in the pathomechanism of reperfusion injury and reduction of malign arrhythmia in the critical acute phase of MI, if applied intravenously. In stable coronary artery disease oral magnesium therapy has proven beneficial effects too.

- Abstract
Recent information indicates that platelet-derived endothelial cell growth factor (PD-ECGF), a 45-kDa angiogenic protein, is expressed in the endothelium of various tissues and that its level of expression is correlated with the number of microvessels in human tumors. Because the formation of neovessels is also thought to play a role in atherosclerotic vascular remodeling, we analyzed PD-ECGF expression in fresh, coronary plaque tissues obtained by directional coronary atherectomy. Specimens from 31 patients were collected and analyzed by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction, histochemical staining, immunohistochemistry, and in situ hybridization with the use of PD-ECGF-specific primers and probes. Lesional vascular remodeling was assessed by intravascular ultrasound. PD-ECGF immunoreactivity and mRNA were found in plaque macrophages, endothelial cells of plaque neovessels, and stellate smooth muscle cells of 20 atherectomy specimens (64.5%). PD-ECGF immunoreactivity was correlated with the number of lesional microvessels and mast cells. Double-staining experiments revealed a close spatial proximity of PD-ECGF-positive cells and mast cells. Furthermore, the numbers of microvessels and mast cells were significantly higher in lesions lacking compensatory enlargement. The data indicate that PD-ECGF is expressed within cells of the atherosclerotic plaque and may be involved in driving angiogenesis in concert with mast cells.

- Abstract
Objective: In the present study we wanted to know whether 8-epi-PGF2 alpha, which belongs to the class of isoprostanes formed by free radical-mediated peroxidation of arachidonic acid and arachidonyl-containing phospholipids, is enriched in isolated coronary arteries of patients suffering from coronary heart disease (CHD, n = 23) who received allograft heart transplants as compared to vessels derived from patients with dilative cardiomyopathy (CMP, n = 19) or from healthy heart donors (controls, n = 6)., Methods: Sections from the isolated coronary arteries were analysed by semiquantitative immunohistochemistry by determining the area and intensity of positive reaction for 8-epi-PGF2 alpha in the vascular intima and media. In addition, the 8-epi-PGF2 alpha content was determined using a specific immunoassay after extraction and purification., Results: The immunohistochemical results indicated that 8-epi-PGF2 alpha is significantly enriched in arteries from patients suffering from CHD as compared to CMP (P < 0.0001). In controls, significantly less immunostaining was observed. Furthermore, a significant positive correlation between semiquantitative immunohistochemistry and radioimmunological determination was observed too., Conclusions: From our findings we conclude that 8-epi-PGF2 alpha is especially accumulated in coronary arteries from CHD patients and therefore is likely to be involved in atherogenesis.

- Abstract
In a total of 22 failing hearts from human transplant recipients, the expression of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules, the CD phenotype of infiltrating mononuclear cells, and the number of fibroblasts were analyzed by immunohistochemistry. Compared with 10 non-failing control hearts, significantly higher morphometric area fractions of HLA-ABC and HLA-DR with a concomitant increase of CD3-, CD4- and CD8-positive cells were found to be comparable in 12 patients with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy and in 10 patients with secondary heart failure. Furthermore, the similarity of T-cell activation in idiopathic and secondary variants of the disease were substantiated by the following observations: (1) the site-specific distribution of MHC molecules and mononuclear cells in the myocardium was comparable in idiopathic and secondary dilated cardiomyopathy; (2) 6 individuals with lymphocytic aggregates in their myocardium in association with the highest levels of HLA-ABC expression were equally distributed among idiopathic and secondary patient subsets; and (3) expression of HLA-ABC and HLA-DR correlated with that of an endothelial cell marker, von Willebrand factor, in failing myocardia of both study groups. In conclusion, no difference was found in increased MHC molecule expression in failing myocardium of idiopathic and secondary variants of dilated cardiomyopathy, and these entities were not differentially associated with infiltration by increased numbers of T lymphocytes. Hence, we postulate that these immunopathological features are consequences rather than causative factors of myocardial degeneration and dilatation.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

- Abstract
Recent data suggest that stem cell factor (SCF or c-kit ligand, KL) is a major regulator of human mast cells (MCs). In the present study, MCs derived from the lung (n = 8), uterus (n = 14) and heart (n = 4) were analyzed for expression of c-kit receptor and for responses to recombinant SCF. MCs of all organs tested were recognized by mAbs to c-kit (YB5.B8, SR-1) as assessed by combined toluidine blue/immunofluorescence staining. Activation by rhSCF (10 ng/ml, 60 min) resulted in histamine release from lung MCs (SCF 12.8 +/- 2.7% histamine release; control 2.8 +/- 0.8%, p < 0.01), uterus MCs (SCF 16.8 +/- 5.8%; control 5.2 +/- 2.5%, p < 0.01) and heart MCs (SCF 18.4 +/- 2.6%; control 1.7 +/- 0.23%, p < 0.01). Short-term pre-incubation with rhSCF (15 min) did not result in histamine secretion (p > 0.05), but in an increase (lung 2.4 +/- 1.0 fold; uterus 2.1 +/- 1.1 fold, and heart 2.0 +/- 0.4 fold) of alpha IgE-induced mediator release (p < 0.05). The effects of SCF were dose-dependent (maximum responses at 10-100 ng/ml) and dependent on extracellular calcium. A monoclonal antibody to SCF was found to inhibit the effects of SCF on MCs. Furthermore, MCs could be desensitized specifically by pre-incubation of MCs with rhSCF in Ca-free medium. Together, these data suggest that SCF triggers mediator secretion from MCs in various organs via binding to the c-kit receptor.

- Abstract
In a 43-year-old woman with ECG changes of an acute anterior and posterior wall infarct, associated symptoms and biochemical findings, coronary angiography demonstrated normal coronary arteries and a normal variant in the course of the left coronary artery. Vasospasms in another vascular bed (migraine) and highly positive 201-Thallium scintigraphy during acral cold provocation speak for coronary spasm as cause of the myocardial ischaemia in this patient.
