(author), Dekkers, Ilona A. (author), Rijnberg, F.M. (author)BACKGROUND: Kidney disease is the most important predictor of death in patients with a Fontan circulation, yet its clinical and hemodynamic correlates have not been well established. METHODS AND RESULTS: A total of 53 ambulatory patients with a Fontan circulation (median age, 16.2 years, 52.8% male patients) underwent advanced cardiovascular...journal article 2024

(author), Wentzel, Jolanda J. (author), Helbing, Willem A. (author), Akyildiz, A.C. (author)Background: Optimal timing of pulmonary valve replacement (PVR) in Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) patients remains challenging. Ventricular wall stress is considered to be an early marker of right ventricular (RV) dysfunction.<br/><br/>Objectives: To investigate the association of RV wall stresses and their change over time with functional parameters...journal article 2023

Liu, Shengnan (author), Neleman, Tara (author), Hartman, Eline M.J. (author), Ligthart, Jurgen M.R. (author), Witberg, Karen T. (author), van der Steen, A.F.W. (author), Wentzel, Jolanda J. (author), Daemen, Joost (author), van Soest, Gijs (author)Coronary calcification represents a challenge in the treatment of coronary artery disease by stent placement. It negatively affects stent expansion and has been related to future adverse cardiac events. Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) is known for its high sensitivity in detecting coronary calcification. At present, automated quantification...journal article 2020

(author), Klein, Stefan (author), Vernooij, Meike W. (author), Van der Lugt, Aad (author), Wentzel, Jolanda J. (author)Background and aims In a large stroke-free population, we sought to identify cardiovascular risk factors and carotid plaque components associated with carotid plaque burden, lumen volume and stenosis. Methods The carotid arteries of 1562 stroke-free participants from The Rotterdam Study were imaged on a 1.5-Tesla MRI scanner. Inner and outer...journal article 2016

Kok, Annette M. (author), Speelman, Lambert (author), Virmani, Renu (author), van der Steen, A.F.W. (author), Gijsen, F.J.H. (author), Wentzel, Jolanda J. (author)Background: Stress calculations in atherosclerotic coronary vulnerable plaques can aid in predicting coronary cap rupture. In vivo plaque geometry and composition of coronary arteries can merely be obtained via intravascular imaging. Only optical driven imaging techniques have sufficient resolution to visualize the fibrous cap, but due to...journal article 2016
