The advanced glycation end products (AGEs), which can be assessed through skin autofluorescence (SAF), have been linked to chronic kidney disease (CKD), diabetes mellitus (DM), and aging. However, it is unknown how frailty SAF levels are associated with cardiovascular (CVD). We enrolled 1,000 consecutive CVD patients who participated in phase II cardiac rehabilitation (CR) underwent assessment of between November 2015 September 2017 at Juntendo University Hospital.

Background: Muscle wasting is a debilitating phenotype associated with chronic heart failure. We have previously demonstrated that angiotensin II (AII) directly induces muscle in mice through the activation of NADPH oxidase. In this study, we tested hypothesis deficiency oxidase 4 (Nox4), major source oxidative stress, ameliorates AII-induced regulation redox balance. Methods and Results: Nox4 knockout (KO) wild-type (WT) were used. At baseline, there no differences physical characteristics...

Abstract Background Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are associated with aging, diabetes mellitus (DM), and other chronic diseases. Recently, the accumulation of AGEs can be evaluated by skin autofluorescence (SAF). However, relationship between SAF levels exercise capacity in patients cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate association tissue clinical characteristics, including capacity, CVD. Methods We enrolled 319 consecutive CVD aged ≥40 years...

Arterial stiffness contributes to the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, relationship between arterial and exercise tolerance in CVD patients with preserved ejection fraction (pEF) those reduced EF (rEF) is unclear. We enrolled 358 who participated cardiac rehabilitation underwent cardiopulmonary testing at Juntendo University Hospital. After excluding 195 had undergone open heart surgery 20 mid-range EF, were divided into pEF (n = 99) rEF 44) groups. was assessed using...

The frailty state consists of not only physical but also psycho-emotional problems, such as cognitive dysfunction and depression well social problems. However, few reports have examined the relationship between anxiety levels in elderly patients undergoing cardiac rehabilitation (CR).We analyzed 255 (mean age: 74.9 ± 5.8 years, 67% male) who participated early phase II CR at Juntendo University Hospital. At beginning CR, carried out self-assessments based on Kihon Checklist (KCL) State Trait...

Follistatin-like 1 (FSTL1) is a glycoprotein secreted by skeletal muscle cells and cardiac myocytes. Previous studies showed that serum FSTL1 concentrations were increased in acute coronary syndrome chronic heart failure. The aim of this study was to assess the associations among plasma concentration, clinical parameters, whether concentration could predict cardiovascular events patients with elective percutaneous intervention (PCI).A consecutive series 410 who underwent PCI drug-eluting...

Abstract Background Despite the positive impact of implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) and wearable (WCDs) on prognosis, their implantation is often withheld especially in Japanese heart failure patients with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (HFrEF) who have not experienced tachycardia (VT) or fibrillation (VF) for uncertain reasons. Recent advancements (HF) medications significantly improved prognosis HFrEF. Given this context, a critical reassessment treatment ICDs...
