Epicardial Adipose Tissue in Atrial Fibrillation. Introduction: As epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is a metabolically active visceral fat, potential interaction between EAT and myocardium strongly suggested. The aims of this study were to determine whether the amount regional distribution are related chronicity atrial fibrillation (AF) left (LA) remodeling. Methods Results: This consisted 40 subjects with paroxysmal AF (PAF) persistent (PeAF). Eighty no history enrolled as controls. Total...
Colonoscopic polypectomy significantly reduces the incidence of colorectal cancer, but it carries potential risks, with colonic perforation being most common and associated significant morbidity. This study evaluated clinical outcomes risk factors microperforation during colonoscopic polypectomy. A retrospective cohort study. We retrospectively reviewed patients' records who underwent subsequent plain radiographic examination to monitor perforation. Patients pneumoperitoneum detected on...
Abstract Background This study investigates the safety profile of adjuvanted herpes zoster (HZ) vaccine (Shingrix) in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), particularly comparing adverse events (AEs) those under 50 years old versus and above. IBD patients, due to immune-modulating treatments, face an elevated risk for infection, yet data on vaccine’s this population remain limited. Methods A total 244 were enrolled received HZ vaccine. Participants divided into two groups: aged or...
Effect of Ablation on Endothelial Function . Background: Although atrial fibrillation (AF) is a risk factor for endothelial dysfunction (ED), the effect catheter ablation (CA) AF‐associated ED has not been evaluated. The aims this study are to determine if degree predicts outcome AF and evaluate whether can be improved through restoring sinus rhythm (SR) by successful CA. Methods: This prospectively enrolled 80 subjects who underwent CA (paroxysmal = 61, persistent 19). Eighty with no...
Background Stroke and thromboembolic events may still occur in "clinically low-risk" atrial fibrillation (AF) patients as categorized by CHA2DS2-VASc score. Our aim was to assess the proportion of using a nongender (ie, CHA2DS2-VA) score 0 1 among who experienced AF-associated stroke identify markers associated with patients. Methods Results We retrospectively recruited nonvalvular AF embolic between 2013 2016 from 9 institutes Korea. CHA2DS2-VA at time were analyzed compared without stroke....
Abstract We aimed to investigate the sex-related differences in clinical course of patients with Atrial Fibrillation (AF) enrolled Asia–Pacific-Heart-Rhythm-Society Registry. Logistic regression was utilized relationship between sex and oral anticoagulant, rhythm control strategies 1-year chance maintain sinus rhythm. Cox-regression assess risk all-cause, cardiovascular death, thromboembolic events, acute coronary syndrome, heart failure, major bleeding. In whole cohort (4121 patients, 69 ±...
Objectives There have been a few noninvasive studies showing the effect of aging on blood pressure (BP) and pulse wave velocity (PWV) in different arterial segments. The aim this study was to evaluate hemodynamics central peripheral arteries using an invasive method. Methods We observed 175 individuals undergoing coronary angiography. SBP DBP were measured by at radial artery, abdominal aorta, aortic arch. Aortic arch-abdominal aorta PWV (aoPWV) arch-radial artery (arPWV) also assessed...
Background and Objectives:We assessed plaque erosion of culprit lesions in patients with acute coronary syndrome real world practice.Subjects Methods: Culprit lesion rupture or was diagnosed optical coherence tomography (OCT).Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) used to determine arterial remodeling.Positive remodeling defined as a index (lesion/ reference EEM [external elastic membrane area) >1.05.Results: A total 90 who had showing fibrous-cap discontinuity ruptured cavity were enrolled.36...
-39.3±10.8%, -31.5±8.9%, -48.8±12.3%, and -42.8±13.5%, respectively. LDL cholesterol less than 130 mg/dL was achieved in 90.3%, 76.9%, 88.5%, 85.2%, 97.2%, 94.2%, The reduction of by 30% or more obtained 84.4%, 60.7%, 81.6%, 63.0%, 93.0%, 83.5%, 70 the 50% observed a small portion patients variable according to different types statins. Conclusion: A low dose statin enough manage dyslipidemia most Korean with moderate risks even effective subpopulation high risk patients.
The association of susceptibility loci for atrial fibrillation (AF) with AF recurrence after ablation has been reported, although controversial results. In this prospective cohort analysis, we aimed to investigate whether a genetic risk score (GRS) can predict the rhythm outcomes catheter AF.We determined between 20 AF-susceptible single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and in 746 patients (74% males; age, 59±11 years; 56% paroxysmal AF). A GRS was calculated by summing unweighted numbers...
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is associated with an increased risk of adverse events in patients atrial fibrillation (AF); however, few data are available on this topic Asian populations.
Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is known to play an important role in atrial fibrillation substrate remodeling; however, the influence of sex on association between EAT and left (LA) transport function has not been elucidated.Of 514 patients who underwent index ablation procedure, 123 postmenopausal women with no history hormone replacement therapy men were matched for age, body mass index, type fibrillation, CHADS2 score enrolled. Before LA volume, emptying fraction, volume assessed using...
Left atrial (LA) fibrosis caused by various pathological stimuli is a common finding. However, the difference of remodelling via haemodynamic change in diverse cardiomyopathy has not been elucidated. Male Sprague-Dawley rats (6–8 weeks, n = 180) were randomly assigned to three groups and corresponding sham control groups: (i) ischaemic cardiomyopathy, (ii) left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), (iii) dilated cardiomyopathy. At 12 weeks after operation, fibrillation (AF) inducibility duration...
Background: Although the safety and efficacy of left atrial (LA) appendage (LAA) closure (LAAC) in nonvalvular fibrillation (NVAF) patients have been well documented randomized controlled trials real-world experience, there are limited data literature about impact LAAC on cardiac remodeling. The aim study was to examine functional structural remodeling NVAF patients. Methods: Between March 2014 November 2016, 47 who underwent were included this (LAAC group). A control group (non-LAAC group)...
Objectives To assess the safety and efficacy of percutaneous closure perimembranous ventricular septal defect (PmVSD) using patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) occluders. Background Widespread use conventional PmVSD devices has been limited by unacceptable high rate complete heart block (CHB). The elegant design PDA occluders is supposed to ease implantation, increase minimize damage adjacent structures. Thus, may reduce complications, especially CHB, offer a good alternative for closure. Method...
