Red Meat Consumption and Risk of Cardio-Cerebrovascular Disease in Chinese Older Adults
Int Heart J. 2023;64(4):654-662. doi: 10.1536/ihj.23-138.ABSTRACTAssociations between red meat consumption and cardio-cerebrovascular diseases (CCVDs) are mostly studied in Western populations but not in Chinese or elderly. This prospective study investigated adults ≥65 years from the China Kadoorie Biobank (CKB). Associations between red meat consumption and CCVD, ischemic stroke/transient ischemic attack (TIA), CCVD mortality, and all-cause mortality were determined by Cox regression. A total of 59,980 participants were analyzed, 14,715 (24.53%) of whom ate red meat daily, 9,843 (16.41%) ate red meat 4-6 days/week, 23,...

One-Year Outcome of Patients with Chest Pain in the Rule-Out Group According to the 0-Hour/1-Hour Algorithm
Int Heart J. 2023;64(4):590-595. doi: 10.1536/ihj.23-076.ABSTRACTThe European Society of Cardiology recommends the 0/1-hour algorithm for risk stratification of patients with suspected non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction as class I, level B; however, there are few reports on the long-term prognosis, resulting in a rule-out group. We aimed to determine whether implementation of the 0-hour/1-hour algorithm is safe and effective in emergency department (ED) patients with possible acute coronary syndrome (ACS) through a 1-year follow-up period. Our study analyzed the 1-year follow-up data from a prospective pre-post study o...

Clinical Characteristics and Long-Term Outcomes of Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy.
Authors: Yoshinaga M, Yoshikawa D, Ishii H, Hirashiki A, Okumura T, Kubota A, Sakai S, Harada K, Somura F, Mizuno T, Fujiwara W, Yokoi H, Hayashi M, Ishii J, Murohara T, Yoshida Y, Amano T, Izawa H Abstract Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) has various morphological and clinical features. A decade has passed since the previous survey of the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of Japanese HCM patients. The Aichi Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (AHC) Registry is based on a prospective multicenter observational study of HCM patients. The clinical characteristics of 42 ambulant HCM patients followed up for up to 5...

Usefulness of a Combination of Interatrial Block and a High CHADS2 Score to Predict New Onset Atrial Fibrillation.
In conclusion, IAB and a high CHADS2 score independently and synergistically predict new onset AF in patients in sinus rhythm, indicating an approximately 12-fold higher risk in patients with both IAB and a high CHADS2 score. Patients meeting these criteria should have more aggressive early intervention to prevent AF. PMID: 27593538 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Rivaroxaban for Periprocedural Anticoagulation Therapy in Japanese Patients Undergoing Catheter Ablation of Paroxysmal Non-Valvular Atrial Fibrillation.
This study aimed to investigate the safety and feasibility of periprocedural anticoagulation therapy with rivaroxaban in Japanese patients undergoing paroxysmal non-valvular AF (NVAF) ablation using radiofrequency energy.This study was a multicenter, prospective pilot study. In paroxysmal NVAF patients, rivaroxaban (15 mg or 10 mg once-daily) was started at least 4 weeks prior to AF ablation, discontinued on the day of the procedure, resumed within 24 hours after ablation, and continued at least 3 months afterwards. During the interruption of rivaroxaban, bridging anticoagulation therapy with unfractionated heparin was giv...

Comparison of Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Versus Coronary Artery Bypass Graft in Aged Patients With Unprotected Left Main Artery Lesions.
This study compared the outcomes of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) versus coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) in this population.A total of 126 patients older than 60 years of age with LM lesions who underwent revascularization in our hospital from January 2012 to December 2013 were followed up for an average of 15.2 months. The cumulative incidence of major adverse cardiac and cerebral events (MACCE) was estimated by Kaplan-Meier plots. During follow-up, the CABG group had higher proportions of cardiac death, stroke, and worsening of heart failure while the PCI group had a higher proportion of recurrence of angi...

Prognostic Impact of Diastolic Wall Strain in Patients at Risk for Heart Failure.
Authors: Minamisawa M, Miura T, Motoki H, Ueki Y, Shimizu K, Shoin W, Harada M, Mochidome T, Yoshie K, Oguchi Y, Hashizume N, Nishimura H, Abe N, Ebisawa S, Izawa A, Koyama J, Ikeda U Abstract Diastolic wall strain (DWS) is based on the linear elastic theory, according to which decreased wall thinning during diastole reflects reduced left ventricular compliance and thus increased diastolic stiffness. Increased diastolic stiffness as assessed by DWS is associated with a worse prognosis in patients who have heart failure (HF) with preserved ejection fraction. However, there are no data about the prognostic value of D...

Identification of the State of Maximal Hyperemia in the Assessment of Coronary Fractional Flow Reserve Using Non-Invasive Electrical Velocimetry.
This study aimed to determine whether non-invasive electrical velocimetry (EV) can be used to identify the state of maximal hyperemia.Stroke volume (SV), SV variation (SVV), and systemic vascular resistance index (SVRI) were determined by EV in 15 patients who underwent FFR assessment. Time intervals from initiation of adenosine infusion to achieving maximal hyperemia (time(mFRR)), as well as to achieving maximal cardiac output (CO), SV, SVV, and SVRI (time(mCO), time(mSV), time(mSVV), and time(mSVRI), respectively), were determined. Time(mCO) and time(mSVV) were closer to time(mFRR) than other values (time(mSVV)/time(mFRR...

In Situ Skeletonized Right Internal Mammary Artery Bypass Grafting to Left Anterior Descending Artery.
This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility and the mid-term efficacy of an in situ skeletonized right internal mammary artery (IMA) bypass grafting to a left anterior descending artery (LAD), and to determine risk factors for IMA graft failure in a single-center study.From January 2012 to December 2015, 189 patients (173 males, 50.6 ± 6.0 years old) undergoing first isolated coronary artery bypass grafting surgery with the in situ skeletonized right IMA grafting to the LAD were included in this study. Baseline characteristics, peroperative data, and follow-up outcomes were investigated and analyzed.The length of the in ...

Rationale and Design of Randomized Evaluation of Aggressive or Moderate Lipid Lowering Therapy with Pitavastatin in Coronary Artery Disease (REAL-CAD) Trial.
Authors: Miyauchi K, Kimura T, Shimokawa H, Daida H, Iimuro S, Iwata H, Ozaki Y, Sakuma I, Nakagawa Y, Hibi K, Hiro T, Fukumoto Y, Hokimoto S, Ohashi Y, Ohtsu H, Saito Y, Matsuzaki M, Nagai R, REAL-CAD Trial Investigaters Abstract Large-scale clinical trials in patients in Western countries with coronary artery disease (CAD) have found that aggressive lipid-lowering therapy using high-dose statins reduces cardiovascular (CV) events further than low-dose statins. However, such evidence has not yet been fully established in Asian populations, including in Japan. The Randomized Evaluation of Aggressive or Moderate Lip...

Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting with Mini-Sternotomy in the Treatment of Triple-Vessel Coronary Artery Disease.
Authors: Su P, Gu S, Liu Y, Zhang X, Yan J, An X, Gao J, Xin Y, Zhou J Abstract We have developed off-pump coronary artery bypass approach with lower distal mini-sternotomy (TM-OPCAB) for multivessel coronary revascularization. The aim of this retrospective study is to provide evidence for the feasibility and safety of this technique in the treatment of triple-vessel diseases.Two hundred eighty-eight patients with triple-vessel coronary artery disease who underwent TM-OPCAB or standard off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery (S-OPCAB) were included in this study after propensity-score matching. We retrospectively r...
