Despite a dramatic increase in the incidence of mild-cognitive impairment (MCI) and early dementia, accessible engaging screening methods for older adults are lacking. Gamification has gained attention self-management various health conditions, making it promising avenue dementia screening. This study aimed to evaluate gamified mobile application detection cognitive associated with dementia. The app Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) were administered 138 participants. game, based on...
The combination of antiplatelet and antithrombotic drugs increases the risk bleeding in patients with atrial fibrillation after coronary drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation. However, appropriateness direct-acting oral anticoagulant (DOAC) monotherapy at time implantation remains uncertain. objective this study was to evaluate safety efficacy DOAC monotherapy, specifically using factor Xa inhibitors such as edoxaban, a low-density lipoprotein receptor knockout (LDL-R-/-) miniature pig model...
Background Late adverse myocardial remodeling after ST elevation infarction (STEMI) is strongly associated with cardiac death. Global Longitudinal strain (GLS) and circumferential diastolic rate (CDSR) derived cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (CMRI) a powerful predictor of late remodeling. However, the Impella's effects on CMRI STEMI are not fully understood.
Electrophysiologic study was performed in all patients under conscious sedation achieved with dexmedetomidine and fentanyl.
Tracheobronchial or esophageal fistula after aortic surgery has been reported sporadically in the literature, however, reports of an aortopulmonary associated with a post-operative pseudoaneurysm are rare. We experienced case refractory heart failure due to pseudoaneurysm. A 60-year-old man who had undergone 2 years earlier was hospitalized for congestive failure. He diagnosed 10 days diuretic therapy failed improve his condition. underwent contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) scan and...
Abstract Introduction Although electrophysiologic and anatomic factors associated with the need for touch‐up radiofrequency (RF) applications after cryoballoon ablation (CBA) atrial fibrillation (AF) have been well described, those such hot balloon (HBA) not. We aimed to identify predictive of following HBA. Methods Anatomic RF were compared between 46 propensity score‐matched pairs patients who underwent HBA or CBA AF. Results Touch‐up was more frequently required than (57% vs 30%,...
Abstract Background Large pulmonary veins (PVs) have the risk of excessive cooling when cryoballoon is moved into them, whereas smaller PVs may not be isolated because insufficient balloon‐tissue contact. We previously reported that effective nadir balloon temperature (NBT) was <− 44°C for predicting early PV reconnections. However, ideal and left atrial (LA) diameters temperatures during ablation (CBA) are unknown. Methods measured ostium (PVos) LA on computed tomography images in 71...
The short-term mortality associated with veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation combined the Impella device (termed ECPELLA) for acute myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock (AMI-CS) remains unclear.
Abstract Background/Introduction Coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) is a condition in which the distal microvasculature compromised, resulting inadequate blood flow to subsequent arteries and myocardial ischemia. Index of resistance (IMR), can quantify CMD, becoming standard for diagnosis CMD. Patients with CMD have 4 5 times greater risk cardiovascular death infarction than patients without heart disease similar risk. Early may reduce improve quality life therapeutic intervention....
Abstract Background Hepatorenal function is a prognostic predictor for heart failure, cardiac surgery, and transcatheter intervention structural disease. However, the clinical implications of hepatorenal assessed by Model End-stage Liver Disease eXcluding International normalized ratio (MELD-XI) score still unclear in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary (PCI). Purpose This study aimed to clarify association between prognosis MELD-XI score. Methods We analyzed 993 who underwent PCI from...

Background: Atherosclerosis is the most common cause of cardiovascular death. Oxidative stress related to initiation and progression atherosclerosis. However, how oxidative affects atherosclerosis in vivo has not yet been fully investigated. Non-obstructive general angioscopy (NOGA) can meticulously visualize directly aortic vivo. The purpose this study was evaluate relationships between NOGA-derived plaques. Methods: We investigated 120 consecutive cases with coronary artery disease...
Introduction: Severe atherosclerosis of the aorta poses a significant risk embolism to peripheral organs. Non-obstructive general angioscopy (NOGA) offers detailed observation in aorta. Cholesterol crystals (CCs) can disperse into blood from ruptured plaques (RPs) and cause inflammation. However, relationship between LDL cholesterol levels detection rate CCs RPs has not been fully elucidated. Aims: This study aims evaluate utility NOGA identifying high-risk aortic for examine influence on...
Congenital antithrombin (AT) deficiency is a congenital coagulopathy that predisposes to venous thromboembolism (VTE), although the number of reported patients limited; thus, large-scale data on efficacy direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) in this population are lacking. There have been case reports DOAC use treatment VTE with AT deficiency; however, it remains unclear whether rivaroxaban effective resolving thrombus and preventing long-term recurrence pulmonary (PE) associated massive deep...
Chronological changes in ablation lesions after cryoballoon (CBA) and hot balloon (HBA) of atrial fibrillation (AF) remain unclear.Of 90 patients who underwent initial balloon-based catheter AF cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (cMRI) 3 months ablation, data from 48 propensity score-matched (24 per group; 34 males; age 62±10 years) were analyzed. High-density pulmonary vein-left antrum (PV-LA) voltage mapping was performed PV isolation, low areas around the ostia defined as total acute...
