Abstract Aims Although patients with heart failure (HF) frequently experience considerable symptom burden and require significant care, most HF do not receive timely intervention due to the absence of a standardized method for identifying those in need palliative care. The Needs Assessment Tool: Progressive Disease‐Heart Failure (NAT: PD‐HF) assesses care needs HF. However, its validity reliability have yet be fully examined. We aimed assess NAT: PD‐HF Japanese Methods prospectively enrolled...
Although measuring right ventricular (RV) function during exercise is more informative than assessing it at rest, the relationship between RV reserve function, capacity, and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in patients with left assist devices (LVAD) remains unresolved. We aimed to investigate whether assessed by change stroke work index (RVSWI) correlated capacity HRQoL LVAD. prospectively 24 consecutive LVAD who underwent invasive heart catheterization supine position. Exercise were...
The characteristics of high-risk coronary atherosclerosis evaluated using optical coherence tomography (OCT) can have a prognostic role. Inflammatory biomarkers may be related to the severity artery disease. This study investigated association morphological features plaques on OCT with circulating levels inflammatory and target lesion revascularization (TLR).We prospectively analyzed data 30 consecutive patients chronic syndrome who underwent percutaneous intervention (PCI) OCT....
We herein report the first case of constrictive pericarditis (CP) induced by long-term pergolide treatment for Parkinson's disease that was assessed using multimodal imaging in a 72-year-old patient with leg edema and dyspnea. The correctly diagnosed CP successfully treated pericardiectomy. history pathological findings removed pericardium suggested cause CP. Properly recognizing as accurately diagnosing may contribute to early detection pergolide-induced
Background: Several liver fibrotic markers are associated with prognosis in patients heart failure (HF). However, the optimal for outcome prediction remain unclear. This study aimed to simultaneously investigate prognostic value of and associations between these clinical parameters HF without organic disease.Methods: We prospectively examined 211 consecutive chronic April 2018 August 2021, excluding those disease, using magnetic resonance imaging ultrasound. Seven representative were...
The present study aimed to investigate the impact of mild tricuspid regurgitation (TR) on exercise capacity or clinical outcomes in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). enrolled 511 CHF who underwent cardiopulmonary testing (CPET) between 2013 and 2018. primary outcome was a composite hospitalization death. Patients TR (n = 324) significant (moderate greater; n 60) displayed worse NHYA class reduced CPET than those non-TR 127), but these were more severely impaired TR. A total 90...
Backgrounds: Although patients with heart failure (HF) frequently experience considerable symptom burden and require significant care similar to those cancer, most HF do not receive timely intervention due the absence of standardized method for identifying in need palliative care. Several tools have been employed assess needs identify eligible patients. However, their validity reliability yet be fully examined worldwide. We sought The Needs Assessment Tool: Progressive Disease-Heart Failure...
Background: In many countries, coronary artery disease (CAD) is one of the most common causes death, and stable angina pectoris (SAP) initial symptomatic presentation. Despite contemporary evolution percutaneous intervention (PCI) using drug-eluting stenting a drug-coated balloon, restenosis repeat revascularization still remain major concerns are limiting efficacy PCI in patients with SAP . The characteristics high-risk atherosclerosis evaluated by optical coherence tomography (OCT) were...
