Abstract
The most common pattern of renal involvement in infective endocarditis is infection-associated glomerulonephritis. Due to clinical symptoms and signs that overlap with vasculitis, the diagnosis of infective endocarditis may be delayed. The unusual combination of reduced complement with positive antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody should raise the suspicion of infections such as infective endocarditis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bernard-Soulier syndrome (BSS) is an extremely rare (1:1 million) bleeding disorder of platelet adhesion, caused by defects in the glycoprotein (GP)Ib/IX/V complex. PATIENTS AND METHODS The diagnosis in 27 patients was based on low platelet count, presence of giant platelets and aggregometry studies. Flow cytometry to assess the surface GPIb/IX/V complex showed reduced (7.7-57%) expression. gDNA was screened for mutations in the GPIBA, GPIBB, GP9 genes using PCR-conformation sensitive gel electrophoresis (CSGE). RESULTS Thirteen different disease-causing mutations, including missense (54%), frameshifts (38%) and nonsense (8%) mutations, were identified in 27 patients. Eleven of them were novel including five novel frameshifts (GPIbα: p.Gln97_98fsX113, p.Pro402_403fsX52; GPIbβ: p.Arg17fsX14; GPIX: p.Gly24fsX43, p. Pro130fs, a nonsense mutation (GPIX, p.94, Gln>X) and five novel missense mutations (GPIbα: p.492, Tyr>His; GPIbβ: p.65, Pro>Arg, p.129, Gln>His, p.132, Leu>Pro; GPIX: p.55, Phe>Cys). Interestingly, four common mutations, Cys8Arg (n = 6) and Phe55Ser (n = 2), Phe55Cys (n = 2) in GPIX and a novel 22-bp deletion in the GPIBB gene predicting p.Arg17fsX 14 (n = 10) were seen in 20 patients. CONCLUSION The molecular data presented here is the largest series of BSS patients to be reported so far, adding significantly to the mutation database of this condition and also useful for its genetic diagnosis in India.

Abstract
UNLABELLED (18)F-FDG PET may assist decision making in ischemic cardiomyopathy. The PET and Recovery Following Revascularization (PARR 2) trial demonstrated a trend toward beneficial outcomes with PET-assisted management. The substudy of PARR 2 that we call Ottawa-FIVE, described here, was a post hoc analysis to determine the benefit of PET in a center with experience, ready access to (18)F-FDG, and integration with clinical teams. METHODS Included were patients with left ventricular dysfunction and suspected coronary artery disease being considered for revascularization. The patients had been randomized in PARR 2 to PET-assisted management (group 1) or standard care (group 2) and had been enrolled in Ottawa after August 1, 2002 (the date that on-site (18)F-FDG was initiated) (n = 111). The primary outcome was the composite endpoint of cardiac death, myocardial infarction, or cardiac rehospitalization within 1 y. Data were compared with the rest of PARR 2 (PET-assisted management [group 3] or standard care [group 4]). RESULTS In the Ottawa-FIVE subgroup of PARR 2, the cumulative proportion of patients experiencing the composite event was 19% (group 1), versus 41% (group 2). Multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression showed a benefit for the PET-assisted strategy (hazard ratio, 0.34; 95% confidence interval, 0.16-0.72; P = 0.005). Compared with other patients in PARR 2, Ottawa-FIVE patients had a lower ejection fraction (25% +/- 7% vs. 27% +/- 8%, P = 0.04), were more often female (24% vs. 13%, P = 0.006), tended to be older (64 +/- 10 y vs. 62 +/- 10 y, P = 0.07), and had less previous coronary artery bypass grafting (13% vs. 21%, P = 0.07). For patients in the rest of PARR 2, there was no significant difference in events between groups 3 and 4. The observed effect of (18)F-FDG PET-assisted management in the 4 groups in the context of adjusted survival curves demonstrated a significant interaction (P = 0.016). Comparisons of the 2 arms in Ottawa-FIVE to the 2 arms in the rest of PARR 2 demonstrated a trend toward significance (standard care, P = 0.145; PET-assisted management, P = 0.057). CONCLUSION In this post hoc group analysis, a significant reduction in cardiac events was observed in patients with (18)F-FDG PET-assisted management, compared with patients who received standard care. The results suggest that outcome may be benefited using (18)F-FDG PET in an experienced center with ready access to (18)F-FDG and integration with imaging, heart failure, and revascularization teams.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Relative myocardial perfusion imaging may underestimate severity of coronary disease (CAD), particularly in cases of balanced ischemia. Can quantification of peak left (LV) and right (RV) ventricular Rb-82 uptake measurements identify patients with left main or 3 vessel disease? METHODS Patients (N = 169) who underwent Rb-82 PET MPI and coronary angiography were categorized as having no significant coronary stenosis (n = 60), 1 or 2 vessel disease (n = 81), or left main disease/3 vessel disease (n = 28), based on angiography. Maximal LV and RV ventricular myocardial Rb-82 uptake was measured during stress and rest. RESULTS Failure to augment LV uptake by >or= 8500 Bq/cc at stress, predicted left main or 3 vessel disease with a sensitivity of 93% and specificity of 61% (area under curve = 0.83). A >or=10% increase in RV: LV uptake ratios with stress over rest was 93% specific (area under curve = 0.74) for left main or 3 vessel disease. These indices incrementally predicted left main or 3 vessel disease compared to models including age, gender, cardiac risk factors, and summed stress and difference scores. CONCLUSION Quantifying maximal rest and stress LV and RV uptake with PET myocardial perfusion imaging may independently and incrementally identify patients with left main or 3 vessel disease.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We sought to determine the incidence, clinical significance, and potential financial impact of noncardiac incidental findings (IF) identified with cardiac computed tomography (CT). BACKGROUND Cardiac CT is gaining acceptance and may lead to the frequent discovery of extracardiac IF. METHODS Consecutive patients undergoing cardiac CT had noncardiac structures evaluated after full field of view (32 to 50 cm) reconstruction. IF were categorized as clinically significant (CS), indeterminate, or clinically insignificant. Patient follow-up was performed by telephone, and verified with hospital records and/or communication with physicians. RESULTS Of 966 patients (58 +/- 16 years of age, 55.4% men, >98% outpatients), 401 (41.5%) patients had noncardiac IF. A total of 12 (1.2%) patients had CS findings, and 68 (7.0%) patients had indeterminate findings. At follow-up (18.4 +/- 7.6 months), none of the indeterminate findings became CS. Although 3 patients with indeterminate findings were diagnosed with malignant lesions, they were unrelated to the IF. After adjusting for age, IF were not an independent predictor of noncardiac death. Noncardiac death and cancer death in patients with and without IF were not statistically different. One patient suffered a major complication related to the investigation of an IF. The total direct cost associated with investigating IF was Canadian $57,596 (U.S. $83,035). CONCLUSIONS Although noncardiac IF are common, clinically significant or indeterminate IF are less prevalent. Rates of death were similar in patients with and without IF, and IF was not an independent predictor of noncardiac death. The investigation of IF is not without cost or risk. Larger studies are required to assess the potential mortality benefit of identifying IF.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The PRKAG2 cardiac syndrome is an inherited metabolic disease of the heart characterized by excessive myocardial glycogen deposition. The biochemical alterations associated with this condition remain controversial and have not previously been studied in affected humans. METHODS AND RESULTS Positron emission tomography (PET) imaging was used to quantitatively assess myocardial glucose uptake (MGU) in 6 adult subjects with the PRKAG2 cardiac syndrome and 6 healthy, matched control subjects using the glucose analogue (18)F-Fluoro-2-deoxyglucose (FDG). Studies were performed under a euglycemic hyperinsulinemic clamp to ensure stable blood glucose levels. Rubidium-82 perfusion scans were performed to ensure that myocardial differences in myocardial glucose uptake were not the result of significant myocardial scar. In adult patients with phenotypic expression of disease, the median myocardial glucose uptake of the left ventricle was 0.18 mumol/min/g (interquartile range, 0.14, 0.24), compared with 0.40 mumol/min/g (interquartile range, 0.30 to 0.45) in the control group (P=0.01). The median blood glucose during FDG-PET imaging was 4.72 mmol/L (interquartile range, 4.32 to 4.97) in the PRKAG2 group and 4.38 mmol/L (interquartile range, 3.90, 4.79) in the control group (P=NS). The significant decrease observed in myocardial glucose uptake in affected patients occurred in the absence of significant myocardial scar. CONCLUSIONS The PRKAG2 cardiac syndrome is associated with a reduction of glucose uptake in adult patients affected with this genetic condition. In this pilot study, (18)F-FDG-PET imaging is a useful tool to assess alterations in myocardial glucose transport in this inherited metabolic disease and provide insight into the biochemical pathophysiology of the diseased state.

Abstract
The project aimed to assess stigmatized attitudes among health professionals directed towards patients with mental health problems. The Attitude to Mental Illness Questionnaire was used to assess participants' attitudes towards fictitious patients from a secure forensic hospital and patients with schizophrenia and substance use disorders. Participants were health professionals from acute and mental health settings. In total, 108 completed questionnaires were received. Participants had highly stigmatized attitudes towards patients from a forensic hospital and those with active substance use disorders. Attitudes were less stigmatized to people with substance use disorders who were recovering in remission. This suggested that health professionals have stigmatized attitudes towards an illness such as schizophrenia and this is worse towards patients from a secure hospital. The manner in which patients with substance use disorder are presented can have a significant effect on stigmatized attitudes by health professionals.

Abstract
Background—
Computed tomographic coronary angiography (CTA), given its high negative predictive value, is a potential gatekeeper for invasive coronary angiography (ICA). Before CTA can be further accepted into clinical practice, its impact on healthcare resources needs to be better understood. We sought to determine the clinical impact of CTA on ICA referrals, CTA accuracy, and normalcy rate.
Methods and Results—
To determine the impact of CTA, consecutive patients (n=7017) undergoing ICA before and after implementing a dedicated cardiac CT program were reviewed and compared with 3 other centers (n=11 508). To determine CTA accuracy, we evaluated consecutive CTA patients who underwent ICA. For normalcy rate, we identified patients with a low pretest probability for obstructive coronary artery disease. With the implementation of a cardiac CT program, the frequency of normal ICA decreased from 31.5% (1114 of 3538 patients) to 26.8% (932 of 3479 patients) (
P
<0.001). These findings were significantly different (
P
=0.003) from the 3 centers, in which normal ICAs were unchanged (30.0% [1870 of 6224 patients] to 31.0% [1642 of 5284 patients]). CTA had excellent per-patient sensitivity (99% [CI, 95% to 100%]), positive predictive value (92% [CI, 86% to 96%]) and negative predictive value (95% [CI, 72% to 100%]). Because of referral bias, specificity (64% [CI, 44% to 81%]) was low; however, the normalcy rate of CTA was 94% (CI, 90% to 97%). After adjusting for referral bias, the adjusted sensitivity was 90% (CI, 89% to 91%), and the adjusted specificity was 95% (CI, 94% to 96%), with positive and negative predictive values of 92% (CI, 91% to 93%) and 93% (CI, 92% to 94%), respectively.
Conclusion—
The clinical implementation of CTA appears to positively impact ICA by reducing the frequency of normal ICA. The operating characteristics of CTA support its potential role as a tool useful in ruling out obstructive coronary artery disease.
