Background Although a very simple method of measuring brachial - ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) has become available in clinical setting, whether baPWV can predict future cardiovascular events remains uncertain. We examined is predictor patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Methods and Results measurement was performed 215 consecutive ACS. During the follow-up period (26±10 months), 46 experienced post-hospitalization (18 major event (eg, stroke, re-admission for heart failure or...
The present study was conducted to establish the cutoff value of ankle-brachial pressure index (ABI) at which accuracy brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) measurement is diminished.The baPWV and ABI were measured in 1,361 patients with an atherosclerosis-related disease 7,889 subjects without any atherosclerotic risk factors, order determine percent difference PWV (%baPWV), angle rise anacrotic limb (%angle) amplitude entire waveform (%amplitude) both sides. %angle %amplitude...
We examined whether the presence of an increasing number metabolic syndrome “disorders” was associated with pulse wave velocity, which is recognized as a marker cardiovascular risk, and evaluated elevated plasma C-reactive protein level augments this velocity. Using cross-sectional study design, protein, syndrome–related anthropometric parameters, velocity were measured in 5752 middle-aged Japanese men (44±10 years old). In linear regression analyses, all logarithm significantly correlated...
Arterial stiffness is recognized as a marker of arterial damage and an indicator cardiovascular risk. This observational study was conducted to examine the synergistic effect raised blood pressure (RBP; > or =130/85 mm Hg) plasma glucose (RPG; =110 mg/dL) even at levels below those conventionally used define hypertension diabetes on rate increase pulse wave velocity (PWV) over 3-year period in 2080 Japanese men (age 42+/-9 years). First, subjects were classified into 4 groups based presence...
This observational study was conducted to compare the significance of relationship between arterial stiffness and progression higher blood pressure categories among middle-aged Japanese men with high normal (HNP), (NRP) optimal (OPP).During 3-year period, 100 subjects HNP developed hypertension (n=475; 42 +/- 9 years), 175 those NRP (n=581; 41 8 years) 249 OPP (n=702; 39 showed categories. A binary logistic regression analysis adjusted for known risk factors revealed that values...
Recent evidence suggests that even a slight increase in the plasma level of B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) may be marker cardiovascular risk; however, mechanisms underlying association are currently unclear. Because increased arterial stiffness, as reflected by an pulse wave velocity (PWV) or pressure (PP), contribute to increasing BNP levels, present study we investigated relationships between and PWV PP, all which known markers risk, healthy male Japanese cohort.This was cross-sectional...

Objectives We evaluated whether the changes in insulin sensitivity observed hypertensive patients following treatment with an angiotensin II receptor blocker (candesartan) or calcium-channel antagonist (amlodipine) might be related to improvement of endothelial function (END) and/or plasma level high-sensitive C-reactive protein (CRP) such treatment. Methods and results Seventy-one (age: 58 ± 10 years) without obvious target organ damage were allocated randomly either candesartan at dose 8...
Background This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between dominant frequencies (DFs)/rotors and low-voltage areas (LVAs) using Advisor HD grid (HDG) after pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) in non-paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF). Methods A total of 73 AF patients were prospectively investigated. After (PVI), an online real-time phase mapping system was used detect location rotors with critical non-passively activated ratios (%NPs) of≧50% each LA segment, high-DFs ≧7Hz simultaneously...
Abstract Background Blood pressure variability has been found to be a predictor of stroke, heart failure, and ischemic disease that is independent blood control. This study used the mean (VIM) evaluate visit‐to‐visit in patients previously undergoing catheter ablation (CA) paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF), its relationship with AF recurrence was examined. Method Results The subjects were 274 consecutive PAF who underwent CA at our hospital. Finally, 237 included analysis. follow‐up...
Asymptomatic takotsubo syndrome was observed during periodic Holter monitoring in a man his 60s undergoing maintenance dialysis. No emotional or physical stress noticed. The electrocardiographic changes at onset were determined, and repeated ST elevation progressive formation of giant negative T waves recorded.
