Aim: To investigate the incidence and in-hospital mortality of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) by conforming to Universal Definition Myocardial Infarction (UDMI) in a population-based registry.
It is not known whether clopidogrel use in cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2C19 loss-of-function (LOF) carriers with high bleeding risk (HBR) contributes to adverse outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
Acute aortic dissection (AAD) is a life-threatening cardiovascular disease, with reported incidence rate ranging from 2.5 to 7.2 per 100,000 person-years in several population-based registries Western countries, but epidemiological data are lacking Japan.
Few studies have compared the strength in associations of anthropometric and computed tomography (CT)-based obesity indices with coronary artery calcification (CAC), aortic (AoAC), valve (AVC).
Clinical evidence demonstrating the impact of statins for preventing late target lesion revascularization (TLR) after newer-generation drug-eluting stent implantation and differences in effect on TLR according to pre-interventional vessel remodeling size is limited. We retrospectively evaluated 1193 de novo lesions 720 patients who underwent everolimus-eluting using intravascular ultrasound from January 2010 December 2012. The primary endpoint was TLR. Lesions were divided into statin group...
Little is known regarding whether ultra-rapid patterns of heart rate variability (eg, fragmentation [HRF]) are associated with coronary artery calcification (CAC) in a general population.
Large-scale registries have demonstrated that in-hospital mortality after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) varies widely across institutions. However, whether this variation is related to major procedural complications (e.g., bleeding) unclear. In study, institutional in and its association with PCI-related bleeding were investigated. We analyzed 388,866 procedures at 718 hospitals performed from 2017 2018, using data a nationwide PCI registry Japan. Hospitals stratified into...
Abstract Background Few studies have compared the strength in associations of anthropometric and computed tomography (CT)-based obesity indices with coronary artery calcification (CAC), aortic (AoAC), valve (AVC). Methods In healthy 931 men (mean age, 63.7 years) from a population-based cohort, we assessed cross-sectional CT-based CAC, AoAC, AVC. Anthropometric measures included body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, hip waist-to-hip circumference ratio, waist-to-height ratio. CT images...
