Esmée Bakker received the Young Investigator Award for her abstract ‘Acute and long-term mortality rates among participants of mass-participation sports events versus the general population.’
A recent published study led by the University of Sydney, has found using indoor fans more often allows people to reduce their air conditioner use without changing how hot they feel, paving a way for reducing future energy use and greenhouse gas emissions. Coen Bongers, is one of the co-authors.
Esmée Bakker obtained a Marie Skłodowska-Curie European Postdoctoral Fellowships (160k) of the Horizon 2020 of the European Union.

Patients with chronic chest pain may benefit more from following an exercise program than from surgery in which doctors place a stent. Data from over 18,000 patients show a reduced risk of mortality, hospitalizations and other conditions.
It has long been known that exercise reduces the risk of many chronic diseases. However, we do not yet know exactly how much exercise is necessary to achieve health benefits.
Radboudumc researcher Thomas van den Heuvel receives the Stairway to Impact Award from Dutch Research Council NWO. He receives this prize for the development of the BabyChecker, a smartphone application that allows midwives to make ultrasounds during pregnancies.

Four TURBO grants were recently awarded to new technical-medical research proposals. The grants are part of the TURBO program, a collaboration between the University of Twente (TechMed Centre) and the Radboudumc.
In the future, the AED and the defibrillator will be able to do more than they do today. Now the devices can only give patients who need to be resuscitated a shock, but in time it will be possible, with the help of artificial intelligence, to say more about the condition of the patient.
Personal heat preparedness advice for Dutch Olympic athletes
Jenneke Leentjens, Saskia Middeldorp, and colleagues, published a review on the current knowledge of COVID-19 associated coagulopathy and the role of antithrombotic therapies in the Lancet Haematology.
There is an urgent need to address this, states the international Lancet 'Women and Cardiovascular Disease' Commission
Nicoline Hoogerbrugge, Jolanda de Vries, Koos van der Velden and Jan Buitelaar are appointed by His Majesty as Knight in the Order of the Dutch Lion, a highly prestigious decoration on 26 April 2021.
International study shows risk of mortality does not increase
Exercise lowers the risk of glucose intolerance, obesity, elevated cholesterol and hypertension. The risk of new cardiovascular diseases can be lowered by an individual exercise guideline, argues epidemiologist Esmée Bakker in her dissertation on March 4.
Niels Riksen and colleagues identified increased inflammatory activity in patients with primary aldosteronism.
Patients with chest pain not caused by a narrowing of the coronary arteries often do not know the cause of their symptoms. Scientists at the Radboudumc have successfully used a new technique to investigate other causes in the coronary arteries of the heart.
During a regular day, the average person sits for 8-10 hours. These high levels of sitting time seem linked to an increased risk for both cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
“If exercise was available in the form of a pill, it would be the most commonly prescribed drug in the world.”
A number of specific conditions in women are important in their risk of cardiovascular disease. These include high blood pressure during pregnancy, gestational diabetes and early menopause.
In this special webinar of the RIMLS New Year Celebration, scientific director René Bindels reviewed 2020 and looked forward to 2021. But more importantly a number of researchers received prizes in the traditional RIMLS awards ceremony.
Exploratory ''first-in-man'' study adds a new dimension to the role of our innate immune system in the development of cardiovascular disease. This study from Niels Riksen and colleagues is published in Elife.
We congratulate Vincent Aengevaeren! After defending his thesis entitled: ‘Potential Detrimental Effects of Exercise on the Heart’ on 28 October, Vincent attained his PhD degree with honors. Vincent had been appointed on a RIHS Junior Researcher grant.
This blog by Siroon Bekkering, theme Vascular Damage, is a great way to draw more attention to the discussion around recognition and reward.
Colchicine, an anti-inflammatory drug that has been used for gout for centuries, has been shown to prevent cardiovascular disease in patients who have had a heart attack or are suffering from narrowed coronary arteries. Results of the study are published in the New England Journal of Medicine.
Cardiac spasm, or angina pectoris, is a common heart condition. Even though these patients are well monitored and treated, they are still at risk of more severe heart failure.
In a recent publication in American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, researchers from the Departments of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Pharmacy, Obstetrics and Gynecology, Gastroenterology and Hepatology, investigated the placental passage of two such drugs for the first time.
In Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise Yvonne Hartman described a 16-week reduced sitting intervention that improved vascular function and cerebral blood flow. This highlights the potential benefits of reducing sedentary behaviour to improve cardio- or cerebrovascular risk.
All cardiovascular patients can benefit from participation in a cardiac rehabilitation program. People who participate in a program, in which they gain more knowledge about risk factors for cardiovascular disease and receive advice about lifestyle and stress management, live longer on average.
In Netherlands Heart Journal RIHS researcher Frederik van den Heuvel described that in hospitalized COVID-19 patients, COVID-19 predominantly affects the respiratory system, while cardiac dysfunction occurs less often.
On 1 April, two new professors were added to the Cardiology department. Jan Hein Cornel has been named by special appointment as professor of Inflammation in Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease, and Robert-Jan van Geuns has been appointed as the new professor of Interventional Cardiology.
