    Abstract Introduction: Esophageal injury is one of the most serious complications of pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) with thermic energy sources. Better tissue selectivity of primarily non-thermic pulsed field ablation (PFA) may eliminate collateral injury, particularly the risk of atrio-esophageal fistula (AEF).
    Objective: To compare the incidence of any (peri)-esophageal injury following PVI using PFA to thermic energy sources.
    Methods: Using endoscopy, endoscopic ultrasound, and electrogastrography before and after PVI, esophageal and periesophageal injury (mucosal lesions, food retention, periesophageal edema, or vagal nerve injury) were assessed following PFA and radiofrequency (RF)- or cryoballoon (CB)-PVI.
    Results: Between December 2022 and February 2023, 20 patients (67 ± 10 years, 53% male) undergoing PFA (Farapulse, Boston Scientific) for atrial fibrillation (AF) were studied and compared with a previous cohort of 57 patients who underwent thermic PVI (CB: n = 33; RF: n = 24). Following PFA-PVI, none of the patients had mucosal lesions, food retention, or ablation-induced vagal nerve injury; four patients showed periesophageal edema. Following thermic ablation, 33/57 patients (58%) showed esophageal and/or periesophageal injury (CB: 21/33 [64%], RF: 12/24 [50%]), in detail 4/57 mucosal lesions, 18/57 food retention, 17/57 vagal nerve injury, and 20/52 edema. Midterm success rates were similar for all energy sources.
    Conclusion: In contrast to thermic ablation tools, PFA is not associated with relevant esophageal and periesophageal injury, and might, therefore, reduce or eliminate the risk of potentially lethal AEF in interventional treatment of AF. The etiology of ablation-induced periesophageal edema is unknown but has not been shown to be related to lesion progression.

    Abstract Introduction: Safety of pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) has been established in clinical studies. However, despite prevention efforts the incidence of damage to (peri)-esophageal tissue has not decreased, and the pathophysiology is incompletely understood. Damage to vagal nerve branches may be involved in lesion progression to atrio-esophageal fistula. Using electrogastrography, we assessed the incidence of periesophageal vagal nerve injury (VNI) following atrial fibrillation ablation and its association with procedural parameters and endoscopic results.
    Methods: Patients were studied using electrogastrography, endoscopy, and endoscopic ultrasound before and after cryoballoon (CB) or radiofrequency (RF) PVI. The incidence of ablation-induced neuropathic pattern (indicating VNI) in pre- and postprocedural electrogastrography was assessed and correlated with endoscopic results and ablation data.
    Results: Between February 2021 und January 2022, 85 patients (67 ± 10 years, 53% male) were included, 33 were treated with CB and 52 with RF (38 with moderate power moderate duration [25-30 W] and 14 with high power short duration [50 W]). Ablation-induced VNI was detected in 27/85 patients independent of the energy form. Patients with VNI more frequently had postprocedural endoscopically detected pathology (8% mucosal esophageal lesions, 36% periesophageal edema, 33% food retention) but there was incomplete overlap. Pre-existing esophagitis increased the likelihood of VNI. Ablation data and esophageal temperature data did not predict VNI.
    Conclusion: PVI-induced VNI is quite common and independent of ablation energy source. VNI is part of (peri)-esophageal damage and only partially overlaps with endoscopic findings. VNI-associated acidic reflux may be involved in the complex pathophysiology of esophageal lesion progression to fistula.

    Abstract Background: Luminal esophageal temperature (LET) monitoring is not associated with reduced esophageal injury following pulmonary vein isolation (PVI).
    Objective: Detailed analysis of (the temporal and spatial gradients of) LET measurements may better predict the risk for esophageal injury.
    Methods: Between January 2020 and December 2021, LET maxima, duration of LET rise above baseline, and area under the LET curve (AUC) were calculated offline and correlated with (endoscopy and endoscopic ultrasound detected) esophageal injury (i.e., mucosal esophageal lesions [ELs], periesophageal edema, and gastric motility disorders) following PVI using moderate-power moderate-duration (MPMD [25-30 W/25-30s]) and high-power short-duration (HPSD [50 W/13s]) radiofrequency (RF) settings.
    Results: 63 patients (69 ± 9 years old, 32 male, 51 MPMD and 12 HPSD) were studied. The esophageal injury was frequent (40% in both groups), mucosal ELs were more common with MPMD, and edema was frequently observed following HPSD. RF-duration, total RF-energy at the left atrial (LA) posterior wall, and distance between LA and esophagus were not different between patients with/without esophageal injury. In contrast, to LET and LET duration above baseline, AUC was the best predictor and significantly increased in patients with esophageal injury (3422 vs. 2444 K
    Conclusion: For both ablation strategies, AUC of the LET curves best predicted esophageal injury. HPSD is associated with similar rates of esophageal injury when (mostly subclinical) periesophageal alterations (that are of unclear clinical relevance) are included. Whether integration of these calculated LET parameters is useful to prevent esophageal injury remains to be seen.

    Abstract Background: Reflux-induced esophagitis might facilitate ablation-induced esophageal lesions (ELs) following pulmonary vein isolation (PVI), and these may progress to atrio-esophageal fistula (AEF). In contrast, preexisting ELs are not prone to progression but may affect procedure planning.
    Objective: To study the incidence of preexisting esophageal and upper gastrointestinal (UGI) pathology in patients undergoing PVI, and the relation to ablation-induced ELs.
    Methods: From 08/2018 to 09/2021, consecutive patients undergoing (radiofrequency [RF] or cryoballoon [CB]) PVI were examined by esophagogastroscopy (EGD) before and following ablation. Postprocedural endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) was added in 2021.
    Results: 412 patients (median age 67.5 [IQR 61.3-75.0] years, 56.1% male) were studied. Preprocedural EGD showed abnormalities in 226/399 patients, 15% in the lower third of the esophagus. Half (99/226) were relevant for PVI, 13 procedures were postponed, 6 due to pathological EGD results. A third of the patients with new esophageal injury following ablation had preexisting esophagitis which was associated with a trend for a higher incidence of ELs after RF ablation (12.5 vs. 6.9%, p = 0.232), and a six- and two-fold higher rate of food retention after CB-PVI (28.6 vs. 4.5%, p = 0.008) and RF ablation (8.3 vs. 4.4%, p = 0.279), respectively.
    Conclusion: (1) EGD before PVI showed UGI abnormalities in > 50% of patients, one-fourth of these relevant for PVI. (2) Esophageal inflammation was associated with a higher incidence of post-ablation (peri)-esophageal injury. Whether having this information before ablation is able to reduce ELs or AEF remains to be shown.

    Abstract Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) comprises a spectrum of liver damage directly related to diabetes, obesity, and metabolic syndrome. The (pro)renin receptor (PRR) has recently been demonstrated to play a role in glucose and lipid metabolism. Here, we test the hypothesis that the PRR regulates the development of diet-induced hepatic steatosis and fibrosis. C57Bl/6J mice were fed a high-fat diet (HFD) or normal-fat diet (NFD) with matching calories for 6 weeks. An 8-week methionine choline-deficient (MCD) diet was used to induce fibrosis. Two weeks following diet treatment, mice were implanted with a subcutaneous osmotic pump delivering either the peptide PRR antagonist, PRO20, or scrambled peptide for 4 or 6 weeks. Mice fed a 6-week HFD exhibited increased liver lipid accumulation and liver triglyceride content compared with NFD-fed mice. Importantly, PRO20 treatment reduced hepatic lipid accumulation in HFD-fed mice without affecting body weight or blood glucose. Furthermore, PRR antagonism attenuated HFD-induced steatosis, particularly microvesicular steatosis. In the MCD diet model, the percentage of collagen area was reduced in PRO20-treated compared with control mice. PRO20 treatment also significantly decreased levels of liver alanine aminotransferase, an indicator of liver damage, in MCD-fed mice compared with controls. Mechanistically, we found that PRR antagonism prevented HFD-induced increases in PPARγ and glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase 3 expression in the liver. Taken together, our findings establish the involvement of the PRR in liver triglyceride synthesis and suggest the therapeutic potential of PRR antagonism for the treatment of liver steatosis and fibrosis in NAFLD.

    Abstract Objective: Characterization of the atherosclerotic process fully relies on histological evaluation and staging through a consensus grading system. So far, a head-to-head comparison of atherosclerotic process in experimental models and tissue resources commonly applied in atherosclerosis research with the actual human atherosclerotic process is missing.
    Material and methods: Aspects of the atherosclerotic process present in established murine atherosclerosis models and human carotid endarterectomy specimen were systematically graded using the modified American Heart Association histological classification (Virmani classification). Aspects were aligned with the atherosclerotic process observed in human coronary artery and aortic atherosclerosis reference tissues that were available through biobanks based on human tissue/organ donor material.
    Results: Apart from absent intraplaque hemorrhages in aortic lesions, the histological characteristics of the different stages of human coronary and aortic atherosclerosis are similar. Carotid endarterectomy samples all represent end-stage "fibrous calcified plaque" lesions, although secondary, progressive, and vulnerable lesions with gross morphologies similar to coronary/aortic lesions occasionally present along the primary lesions. For the murine lesions, clear histological parallels were observed for the intermediate lesion types ("pathological intimal thickening," and "early fibroatheroma"). However, none of the murine lesions studied progressed to an equivalent of late fibroatheroma or beyond. Notable contrasts were observed for disease initiation: whereas disease initiation in humans is characterized by a mesenchymal cell influx in the intima, the earliest murine lesions are exclusively intimal, with subendothelial accumulation foam cells. A mesenchymal (and medial) response are absent. In fact, it is concluded that the stage of "adaptive intimal thickening" is absent in all mouse models included in this study.
    Conclusions: The Virmani classification for coronary atherosclerosis can be applied for systematically grading experimental and clinical atherosclerosis. Application of this histological grading tool shows clear parallels for intermediate human and murine atherosclerotic lesions. However, clear contrasts are observed for disease initiation, and late stage atherosclerotic lesions. Carotid endarterectomy all represent end-stage fibrous calcified plaque lesions, although secondary earlier lesions may present in a subset of samples.

    Abstract Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is closely associated with obesity through risk factors such as dyslipidemia and chronic low-grade inflammation, which may be affected by diet. Dietary fats have been extensively studied in relation to CVD risk, however these studies have not always yielded consistent results, most likely due to lack in control of experimental conditions and confounding factors. Here we studied the effects of different plant and animal fats on dyslipidemia, inflammation, and atherosclerosis. Ldlr-/-.Leiden mice were fed isocaloric energy-dense diets with translational macronutrient composition for 28 weeks. The diets were identical apart from the type of fat they contained: either (1) a mixture of olive and rapeseed oil, (2) sunflower oil, (3) pork fat, (4) beef fat, or (5) milk fat. The fatty acid composition of the diets was determined and effects on circulating lipid and inflammatory risk factors and atherosclerosis were examined, complemented by adipose tissue histology and liver transcriptomics. While visceral fat mass, adipocyte size, and adipose tissue inflammation were not differentially affected by the diets, atherosclerotic lesion load and severity was more pronounced with increasing dietary saturated fatty acid content and decreasing monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acid content, and hence most pronounced with beef and milk fat. These differential effects were accompanied by increases in pro-atherogenic plasma lipids/lipoproteins (e.g., triglycerides, apolipoprotein B), activation of pro-atherogenic cytokine/chemokine signaling pathways in liver, and with circulating pro-atherogenic mediators of inflammation altogether providing a rationale for the differential effects of plant and animal fats.

    Abstract Background: Sleep deprivation (SD) and acute social stress are common, often unavoidable, and frequently co-occurring stressors in high-risk professions. Both stressors are known to acutely induce inflammatory responses and an increasing body of literature suggests this may lead to cognitive impairment. This study examined the combined effects of total SD and acute social stress on cognitive performance and took a comprehensive approach to explore their (shared) underlying mechanism leading to cognitive decline.
    Method: We recorded cognitive performance on a response inhibition task and a multitask and monitored a range of inflammatory, psychophysiological and self-reported markers in 101 participants, both before and after one night of either sleep (control group: N = 48) or SD (N = 53), and both before and after a social stressor (Trier Social Stress Test).
    Results: SD decreased cognitive performance. The social stress test also results in cognitive performance decline in the control group on the response inhibition task, but improved rather than decreased performance of sleep deprived participants on both tasks. The subjective ratings of mental effort also reflect this antagonistic interaction, indicating that the social stressor when sleep-deprived also reduced mental effort. In the inflammatory and physiological measures, this pattern was only reflected by IL-22 in blood. SD reduced blood IL-22 concentrations, and the social stress reduced IL-22 in the control group as well, but not in sleep-deprived participants. There were no interactive effects of SD and social stress on any other inflammatory or psychophysiological measures. The effects of the social stress test on autonomic measures and subjective results suggest that increased arousal may have benefited sleep-deprived participants' cognitive performance.
    Discussion: SD generally decreased cognitive performance and increased required mental effort. By contrast, the isolated effects of a social stressor were not generic, showing a positive effect on cognitive performance when sleep deprived. Our study is the first that studied combined effects of sleep deprivation and acute social stress on cognitive performance and inflammatory markers. It provides a comprehensive overview of effects of these stressors on a range of variables. We did not show unequivocal evidence of an underlying physiological mechanism explaining changes in performance due to (the combination of) sleep deprivation and social stress, but consider IL-22 as a possible cytokine involved in this mechanism and certainly worth following up on in future research.
