According to current Dutch and European guidelines, morphine has a place in the treatment of patients with cardiac asthma. There are no studies showing an improvement in objective parameters with the use of morphine in patients with cardiac asthma. Recent large retrospective cohort studies indicate an increased mortality risk among patients given morphine in the treatment of cardiac asthma, even after correction for confounders.

Methods: A retrospective cohort study using multiple validated questionnaires was conducted in a specialized pelvic floor center in the Netherlands. Women were enrolled after undergoing sling surgery between January 1, 2010, and January 31, 2012.
Objectives: The purpose of the study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the entirely subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (S-ICD).
Background: A new entirely S-ICD has been introduced, that does not require lead placement in or on the heart. The authors report the largest multicenter experience to date with the S-ICD with a minimum of 1-year follow-up in the first 118 Dutch patients who were implanted with this device.
Background: Triglyceride (TG) levels measured in either the fasting or non-fasting state predict the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Since CVD risk assessment is affected by variability in TG, the aim of the study was to investigate intra-individual variability of non-fasting TG.
Methods: Capillary triglyceride (cTG) levels were measured in 246 free-living individuals at six time-points during the day on three separate occasions.
