Background:Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) hospital survivors experience a wide array of late adverse cardiac events, despite considerable advances in the quality of care. We investigated 30-day and 1-year outcomes of ACS hospital survivors using a Japanese nationwide cohort.Methods and Results:We studied 20,042 ACS patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in 2017: 10,242 (51%) with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), 3,027 (15%) with non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI), and 6,773 (34%) with unstable angina (UA). The mean (±SD) age was 69.6±12.4 years, 77% of the patients were men, and 20% had a previous history of PCI. The overall 30-day all-cause, cardiac, and non-cardiac mortality rates were 3.0%, 2.4%, and 0.6%, respectively. The overall 1-year incidence of all-cause, cardiac, and non-cardiac death was 7.1%, 4.2%, and 2.8%, respectively. Compared with UA patients, STEMI patients had a higher risk of all fatal events, non-fatal ischemic stroke, and acute heart failure, and NSTEMI patients had a higher risk of heart failure.Conclusions:The results from our ACS hospital survivor PCI database suggest the need to improve care for the acute myocardial infarction population to lessen the burden of 30-day mortality due to ACS, heart failure, and sudden cardiac death, as well as 1-year ischemic stroke and heart failure events.

Aim: Increased epicardial fat volume (EFV) is an independent risk factor for acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Although EFV increases with body mass index (BMI), some ACS patients have an increased EFV but normal BMI. We here investigated the clinical characteristics of nonobese ACS patients with an increased EFV.Methods: A total of 197 Japanese patients hospitalized for ACS was evaluated for EFV, abdominal visceral fat area (VFA), and lipid and glucose profiles. Control subjects comprised 141 individuals who were suspected of having ACS but whose coronary computed tomography findings were normal.Results: EFV was increased in ACS patients compared with control subjects (120±47 versus 95±45 mL, P<0.01). ACS patients were divided into four groups based on average EFV (120 mL) and a BMI obesity cutoff of 25 kg/m2. For the 30 nonobese ACS patients with an above-average EFV, EFV was positively correlated with VFA (r=0.23, P=0.031). These individuals were significantly older (74±10 years) and tended to have a higher homeostasis model assessment–insulin resistance value (5.5±3.8) compared with other ACS patients. Among nonobese study subjects, EFV was independently associated with ACS (odds ratio=2.01, P=0.021) and correlated with abdominal circumference (r=0.26, P=0.017).Conclusion: Nonobese ACS patients with an increased EFV were elderly and tended to manifest insulin resistance. Measurement of EFV may prove informative for evaluation of ACS risk among elderly nonobese individuals with an increased abdominal girth.

Background: The purpose of the study was to evaluate the impact of nutritional status on 1-year mortality in hospitalized patients with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF). Methods and Results: We enrolled 457 hospitalized ADHF patients. Previously established objective nutritional indexes (controlling nutritional status [CONUT], prognostic nutritional index [PNI], geriatric nutritional risk index [GNRI], and subjective global assessment [SGA]) were evaluated at hospital admission. Malnutrition was defined as CONUT score ≥5, PNI score <38, GNRI score <92, and SGA scores B and C. The frequencies of malnutrition based on CONUT, PNI, GNRI, and SGA were 31.5%, 21.4%, 44.9%, and 27.8%, respectively. All indexes were related to the occurrence of 1-year mortality on univariate Cox regression analysis (P<0.05). We constructed a reference model using age, body mass index, systolic blood pressure, sodium concentration, and renal function on multivariable Cox regression analysis. Adding SGA to the reference model significantly improved both net reclassification improvement (NRI) and integrated discrimination improvement (0.344, P=0.002; 0.012, P=0.049; respectively). Other indexes (CONUT, PNI, and GNRI scores) significantly improved NRI (0.254, P=0.019; 0.273, P=0.013; 0.306, P=0.006; respectively). Conclusions: Nutritional screening assessed at hospital admission was appropriate for the prediction of 1-year mortality in hospitalized patients with ADHF.

Objective Heparin is not recommended to be administered during the interruption of antiplatelet therapy for non-cardiac surgery. However, there are insufficient data to determine the value. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the clinical results of the administration of unfractionated heparin during the interruption of antiplatelet therapy in non-cardiac surgery patients who had previously undergone drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation. Methods We retrospectively identified 210 elective non-cardiac surgical procedures that were performed with the administration of unfractionated heparin during interruption of all antiplatelet therapies in patients who had previously undergone DES implantation. Heparin was administered during the perioperative period in accordance with the local practice guideline at out institution. We examined the clinical outcomes within 30 days of surgery. Results The mean number of implanted DESs was 2.1±1.3. No major adverse cardiac events (including cardiac death, definite stent thrombosis, and non-fatal myocardial infarction) occurred in any of the 210 cases within 30 days of surgery. Four of the 210 cases (1.9%) required reoperation for bleeding within 30 days of surgery. Conclusion Our data showed the potential for the perioperative management with unfractionated heparin administration in Japanese patients who had previously undergone DES implantation who required non-cardiac surgery with the interruption of all antiplatelet therapies.

Aim: We investigated the relationship between small dense low-density cholesterol (sdLDL-C) and risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in patients treated with high- or low-dose statin therapy.Methods: This was a prospective case-cohort study within the Randomized Evaluation of Aggressive or Moderate Lipid-Lowering Therapy with Pitavastatin in Coronary Artery Disease (REAL-CAD) study, a randomized trial of high- or low-dose (4 or 1 mg/d pitavastatin, respectively) statin therapy, in patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD). Serum sdLDL-C was determined using an automated homogenous assay at baseline (randomization after a rule-in period, >1 month with 1 mg/d pitavastatin) and 6 months after randomization, in 497 MACE cases, and 1543 participants randomly selected from the REAL-CAD study population.Results: High-dose pitavastatin reduced sdLDL-C by 20% than low-dose pitavastatin (p for interaction <0.001). Among patients receiving low-dose pitavastatin, baseline sdLDL-C demonstrated higher MACE risk independent of LDL-C (hazard ratio [95% confidence interval], 4th versus 1st quartile, 1.67 [1.04–2.68]; p for trend=0.034). High-dose (versus low-dose) pitavastatin reduced MACE risk by 46% in patients in the highest baseline sdLDL-C quartile (>34.3 mg/dL; 0.54 [0.36–0.81]; p=0.003), but increased relative risk by 40% in patients with 1st quartile (≤ 19.5 mg/dL; 1.40 [0.94–2.09]; p=0.099) and did not alter risk in those in 2nd and 3rd quartiles (p for interaction=0.002).Conclusions: These findings associate sdLDL-C and cardiovascular risk, independent of LDL-C, in statin-treated CAD patients. Notably, high-dose statin therapy reduces this risk in those with the highest baseline sdLDL-C.

Background:Data regarding the clinical features, outcomes and prognostic factors in patients presenting with acute total/subtotal occlusion of the unprotected left main coronary artery (LMCA) remain limited.Methods and Results:From a multi-center registry, 134 patients due to acute total/subtotal occlusion of the unprotected LMCA were reviewed. Emergency room (ER) status classification was defined according to the presence of cardiogenic shock and cardiopulmonary arrest (CPA) in the ER (class 1=no cardiogenic shock; class 2= cardiogenic shock but not CPA; and class 3=CPA). In-hospital mortality and cerebral performance category (CPC) as the endpoints were evaluated. One-half (67/134) of the enrolled patients presented with total occlusion of the unprotected LMCA. Regarding ER status classification, class 1, 2, and 3 were observed in 30.6%, 45.5%, and 23.9% of the patients, respectively. In-hospital mortality occurred in 73 (54.5%) patients; of the remaining patients, 52 (85.3%) could be discharged with a CPC 1 or 2. ER status classification (odds ratio 4.4 [95% confidence interval: 2.33–10.67]; P<0.001) and total occlusion of the unprotected LMCA (odds ratio 8.29 [95% confidence interval 2.93–23.46]; P<0.001) were strong predictors of in-hospital mortality.Conclusions:Acute total/subtotal occlusion involving the unprotected LMCA appeared to be associated with high in-hospital mortality. ER status classification and initial flow in the unprotected LMCA were significant predictive factors of in-hospital mortality.

The physiological effects of “Shinrin-yoku” (taking in the atmosphere of the forest) were examined by investigating blood pressure, pulse rate, heart rate variability (HRV), salivary cortisol concentration, and immunoglobulin A concentration in saliva. Subjective feelings of being “comfortable”, “calm”, and “refreshed” were also assessed by questionnaire. The subjects were 12 male university students aged from 21 to 23 (mean±SD: 22.0±1.0). The physiological measurements were conducted six times, i.e., in the morning and evening before meals at the place of accommodation, before and after the subjects walked a predetermined course in the forest and city areas for 15 minutes, and before and after they sat still on a chair watching the scenery in the respective areas for 15 minutes. The findings were as follows. In the forest area compared to the city area, 1) blood pressure and pulse rate were significantly lower, and 2) the power of the HF component of the HRV tended to be higher and LF/(LF+HF) tended to be lower. Also, 3) salivary cortisol concentration was significantly lower in the forest area. These physiological responses suggest that sympathetic nervous activity was suppressed and parasympathetic nervous activity was enhanced in the forest area, and that “Shinrin-yoku” reduced stress levels. In the subjective evaluation, 4) “comfortable”, “calm”, and “refreshed” feelings were significantly higher in the forest area. The present study has, by conducting physiological investigations with subjective evaluations as supporting evidence, demonstrated the relaxing and stress-relieving effects of “Shinrin-yoku”.
