Objective The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has had a significant impact on global healthcare systems. Some studies have reported the negative of COVID-19 ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients; however, in Japan remains unclear. This study investigated STEMI patients admitted to an academic tertiary-care center Tokyo, Japan. Methods In this retrospective, observational, cohort study, we included 398 consecutive who were our institute from January 1, 2018, March...
Abstract Aims Fractional excretion of urea nitrogen (FEUN), used to differentiate the cause acute kidney injury, has emerged as a useful fluid index in patients with heart failure (HF). We hypothesized that FEUN could be identifying worsening renal function (WRF) associated poor outcomes HF (AHF). Methods and results Overall, 1103 AHF (median age, 78 years; male proportion, 60%) were categorized into six groups according presence WRF values (low, ≤32.1%; medium, >32.1% ≤38.0%; high,...
Abstract Aims Maintenance of euvolaemia with diuretics is critical in heart failure (HF) patients chronic kidney disease (CKD); however, it challenging because no reliable marker volume status exists. Fractional excretion urea nitrogen (FEUN) a useful index renal failure. We aimed to examine whether FEUN surrogate for risk stratification HF CKD. Methods and results examined 516 CKD (defined as discharge estimated glomerular filtration rate < 60 mL/min/1.73 m 2 ) whose was measured at...
Red blood cell (RBC) transfusion therapy is often performed in patients with acute heart failure (AHF) and anemia; however, its impact on subsequent cardiovascular events unclear. We examined whether RBC influences major adverse (MACE) after discharge AHF anemia.
Abstract Background Guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) is important in heart failure management; however, polypharmacy itself may impact failure. Although measures against are needed, current discussion on unilateral drug tapering (including the drugs that should be tapered) insufficient. In this study, we investigated relationship between number of prescribed GDMT and prognosis patients with Methods single-centre retrospective 3,146 eligible were included divided into four groups...
Vascular Ehlers–Danlos syndrome (vEDS) causes fatal vascular complications due to fragility. However, invasive therapeutic procedures are generally avoided except in emergencies. We report a case of vEDS presenting with rapid expansion hepatic arterial aneurysm successfully treated using prophylactic endovascular therapy. A 43-year-old woman confirmed by genetic testing was hospitalized for symptomatic that expanded rapidly within week. Prophylactic coil embolization then performed. Although...
Background: The Kumamoto criteria have been proposed as a non-invasive screen for transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy. This study assessed the validity of externally. Methods and Results: included 138 patients (median age 73 years; 65% male) who underwent 99 mTc-pyrophosphate (PYP) scintigraphy. Patients were divided into 4 groups according to total scores on (i.e., 0-3) following 3 factors: high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T ≥0.0308 ng/mL, wide (≥120 ms) QRS, left ventricular posterior...
An 81-year-old woman was referred to our hospital due a cardiac arrest caused by pulmonary embolism (PE) during her hospitalization for bowel obstruction at another hospital.On admission, the patient haemodynamically unstable with return of spontaneous circulation.The treated veno-arterial
