In patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), most thrombus forms in the left appendage (LAA). However, relation of LAA morphology is unknown.We prospectively enrolled 633 consecutive who were candidates for catheter ablation symptomatic drug-resistant AF. Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) was performed to assess thrombus. structure assessed by 3-dimensional TEE. orifice area, depth, volume, and number lobes measured on reconstructed images. Clinical characteristics echocardiographic...
Background In the population with cardiac sarcoidosis (CS), approximately one third lacks extracardiac involvement and is considered to have isolated CS. Recently, Japanese Circulation Society updated diagnostic criteria for CS, providing a methodology diagnosing We aimed assess characteristics of CS diagnosed using multimodal imaging approach according guidelines. Methods Results retrospectively identified 161 consecutive patients who underwent 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission...
A simple method for determining the anaerobic threshold in patients with heart failure (HF) is needed. This prospective clinical trial (LacS-001) aimed to investigate safety of a sweat lactate-monitoring sensor and correlation between lactate (sLT) ventilatory (VT). To this end, we recruited 50 HF New York Heart Association functional classification I–II (mean age: 63.5 years, interquartile range: 58.0–72.0). Incremental exercise tests were conducted while monitoring levels using our sensor....
Sacubitril/valsartan improves outcomes in patients with heart failure (HF) reduced ejection fraction. However, the relationship between longitudinal changes natriuretic peptides and echocardiographic parameters HF treated sacubitril/valsartan across left ventricular fraction (LVEF) range is not fully understood.In sacubitril/valsartan, comprehensive data on peptides, including atrial peptide (ANP), N-terminal pro-brain-type (NT-proBNP), BNP, echocardiography, were measured after 6 months of...
The Japanese Network of Cardiovascular Departments for Adult Congenital Heart Disease (JNCVD-ACHD) was founded in 2011 the lifelong care adult patients with congenital heart disease (ACHD patients). This network maintains first ACHD registry.From to 2019, JNCVD-ACHD registered 54 institutions providing specialized 32 47 prefectures Japan. registry collected data on profile 24,048 from 50 and patient characteristics 9743 24 institutions. most common ACHDs were atrial septal defect (20.5 %),...
Objectives Despite the recommendation that patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD) receive bereavement care, few studies have examined psychological disturbances in bereaved caregivers. We prevalence and determinants of depression complicated grief among caregivers CVD. Methods conducted a cross-sectional survey using self-administered questionnaire for CVD who had died cardiology departments nine Japanese tertiary care centres. assessed caregiver Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9)...
Background: The prevalence of adult congenital heart disease (ACHD) is increasing rapidly and in particular, patients who underwent complicated surgeries are reaching their youth middle age. Therefore, the need for ACHD treatment will increase, but current medical situation unknown. In this study we assessed trends unplanned admissions with Japan.
