Amsterdam Cardiovascular Sciences

📅 Rembrandt Symposium | Succesful 15th edition! Last Friday about 150 cardiovascular researchers from Leiden and Amsterdam gathered in Noordwijkerhout to attend the 15th Rembrandt symposium. Researchers presented their work in plenary oral presentations or blitz presentations during the parallell sessions. Keynote lectures were given by Frances de Man and Twan de Vries. The day ended with an award session where the Rembrandt grant was awarded to Kak Khee Yeung, Joost van der Vorst, Marcel Muskiet and Robin van Eenige to stimulate collaboration between the two cities. Also, awards were presented to the best presentations of the day: Vincent Sier, Jeroen Molenaar, Esmeralda Meijboom and Dejvid Veizaj. Congratulations to all awardees!

This #WorldStrokeDay, we are excited to share that a large international study led by Amsterdam UMC supports new treatment for cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT), a rare type of stroke. The recently revealed results suggest that patients with CVT can be safely and efficaciously treated with direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs). This finding has important implications for patient management. “In general, DOACs are more patient friendly, as they do not require dose adjustments based on plasma concentrations. They also have a lower risk of intracranial hemorrhage,” says Jonathan Coutinho, stroke neurologist and lead researcher.

🔍 ACS Research | Study quantifies impact of rapid first shock after cardiac arrest Researchers from Amsterdam UMC and ACS, analysed the data of 3,723 patients who suffered cardiac arrest outside the hospital. They show that if a first shock was given within 6 minutes, it was possible in 93% of the cases to stop the heart rhythm disorder ventricular fibrillation - which causes the cardiac arrest. If the initial shock was delayed and was only given after more than 16 minutes, for example, this percentage dropped to 75%. This research is part of the ARREST project and the results were published today in the journal Circulation. Read more about the findings here: https://lnkd.in/eNzAnMCR #AmsterdamCardiovascularSciences #Cardiovascular #Research #CardiacArrest

🔍 ACS Research | Snail Mucus Provides Insight into the Relationship Between Salt Intake and High Blood Pressure in Humans Eating a lot of table salt can lead to a high blood pressure, but for some people it does not. What causes this difference? Research from Amsterdam UMC shows that this is related to the extracellular matrix. The components are similar to the slimy layer that snails have. In people who can eat a lot of salt without their blood pressure rising, the composition of the extracellular matrix is different.
