Coexistence Case of Papillary Fibroelastoma and Lambl's Excrescence of the Left Heart, Which Is Occasionally Associated with Significant Stroke
Int Heart J. 2024 Mar 12. doi: 10.1536/ihj.23-570. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPapillary fibroelastoma (PFE) is a benign tumor that arises mostly from left-sided valves. PFE can cause stroke, and surgical resection may be needed. Lambl's excrescence (LE) is a filiform valvular lesion and is considered a possible cause of stroke. A 79-year-old man with light-headedness and left-sided hemiparesis was diagnosed with stroke. Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) revealed a round-shaped mobile mass in the left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT), which was considered the cause of the stroke. Surgical resection was performed tra...

H-type Hypertension Status and Influencing Factors of the Elderly People Over 80 Years Old Based on Random Forest Model
Int Heart J. 2024 Mar 12. doi: 10.1536/ihj.23-488. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTHypertension is a common chronic disease in elderly people over 80 years old. Clinically, H-type hypertension occurs when hypertension coexists with hyperhomocysteinemia level of ≥ 10 umol/L. Effective identification of risk factors for H-type hypertension in the elderly can greatly improve patient prognosis.Consecutively, 494 patients with hypertension admitted to the Fourth Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University from January 2019 to December 2021 were selected as the study population. They were divided into H-type hypertension (n...

Nutrition Assessment and Education of Patients with Heart Failure by Cardiologists
Int Heart J. 2024 Mar 12. doi: 10.1536/ihj.23-462. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAlthough nutritional assessment and education are important for hospitalized patients with heart failure, the extent of their implementation in real-world clinical practice is unknown. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the evaluation and management of nutrition during hospitalization for heart failure using a questionnaire survey for cardiologists.In this cross-sectional multicenter survey, 147 cardiologists from 32 institutions completed a web-based questionnaire (response rate, 95%).The survey showed that 78.2% of the respondents pe...

Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTShoshin beriberi is a fulminant form of wet beriberi, but there are no large-scale studies detailing the clinical features of this disease. We investigated the clinical features and outcomes of Shoshin beriberi using data from a nationwide database in Japan.Using the Diagnosis Procedure Combination database, we identified patients with Shoshin beriberi between July 2010 and March 2021. We retrospectively investigated the characteristics, comorbidities, treatment, and in-hospital mortality of patients with Shoshin beriberi. The chi-square test ...

Comparison of the Pre-Established and Finally Selected Treatment Strategies for Endovascular Treatment in Femoropopliteal Artery Lesions
This study aimed to compare lower limb events associated with preplanned and finally selected treatment strategies-the validity and usefulness of the physician-chosen strategy were verified.We examined the data of 1003 patients in the registry of multicenter endovascular treatment for superficial femoral and popliteal artery disease study and prospectively enrolled patients who underwent endovascular treatment (EVT) of the femoropopliteal (FP) artery between February 2017 and June 2018 from 67 Japanese institutes. The outcome measures were major adverse limb events (MALE) and target vessel revascularization.The EVT strateg...
