Epidemiology of cardiovascular disease in Japan: An overview study
J Cardiol. 2023 Aug 15:S0914-5087(23)00200-9. doi: 10.1016/j.jjcc.2023.08.006. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCardiovascular diseases (CVDs), such as heart disease and stroke, have a significant impact on life expectancy, healthy life expectancy, and medical costs in Japan. Each prefecture is currently promoting measures in accordance with the Japanese National Plan for Promotion of Measures Against Cerebrovascular and Cardiovascular Disease, which was established by the government. In recent years, the crude mortality rate of heart disease in Japan has been increasing year by year with the aging population. Meanwhile, the ...

Association of preoperative clinical frailty and clinical outcomes in elderly patients with stable coronary artery disease after percutaneous coronary intervention
AbstractThere are few reports on the long-term clinical outcome after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD) complicated with frailty. This novel study investigated the association between pre-PCI frailty and long-term clinical outcomes in elderly patients aged 65  years or older with stable CAD who underwent elective PCI. We assessed 239 consecutive patients aged 65 years or older with stable CAD who underwent successful elective PCI at Kagoshima City Hospital between January 1st, 2017 and December 31st, 2020. Frailty was retrospectively assessed using the Canadian...

Child-Pugh Class B or C Liver Disease Increases the Risk of Early Mortality in Patients With Hepatitis C Undergoing Elective Total Joint Arthroplasty Regardless of Treatment Status
CONCLUSION: Patients with HCV and a Child-Pugh Class B or C at the time of elective TJA had substantially increased odds of death, regardless of liver function, cirrhosis, age, Model for End-Stage Liver Disease level, HCV treatment, and viral load status. This is similar to the risk of early mortality observed in patients with chronic liver disease undergoing abdominal and cardiac surgery. Surgeons should avoid these major elective procedures in patients with Child-Pugh Class B or C whenever possible. For patients who feel their arthritic symptoms and pain are unbearable, surgeons need to be clear that the risk of death is...

Outcomes of Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement in Patients with Concomitant Aortic Regurgitation
CONCLUSIONS: TAVR can be safely performed in patients with mixed valvular disease, yielding comparable outcomes as in isolated AS.PMID:36791833 | DOI:10.1016/j.athoracsur.2023.02.008

Relationship of diabetes, heart failure, and N ‐terminal pro‐B‐type natriuretic peptide with cardiovascular outcomes in patients with atrial fibrillation
ConclusionsDiabetes and HF were independently associated with an increased risk of CV death/HHF in an unselected AF patient population, and NT-proBNP improved risk assessment. These findings suggest that AF patients with diabetes and/or HF should be managed not only for their risk of stroke and systemic embolic events but also for CV death/HHF.

Extent of mural thrombus is not associated with increased 5-year mortality following elective AAA repair
CONCLUSIONS: In our experience, the extent of mural thrombus in AAA does not influence long-term survival after elective repair. AAA repair may provide protection against circulating components of mural thrombus which have the potential to promote atherosclerotic-related adverse events. Patients with renal insufficiency and larger AAA have increased risk of mortality 5 years after elective repair.PMID:35331063 | DOI:10.1177/17085381211063282
