Background:With aging population, the prevalence and incidence of heart failure (HF) have been increasing worldwide. However, the characteristics and outcomes of patients with HF in an era of aging are not well established in Japan.Methods and Results:The Japanese Registry Of Acute Decompensated Heart Failure (JROADHF), a retrospective, multicenter, nationwide registry, was designed to study the clinical characteristics and outcomes of patients hospitalized with HF throughout Japan in 2013. One-hundred and twenty-eight hospitals were selected by cluster random sampling and 13,238 hospitalized patients with HF were identified by medical record review. Demographics, medical history, severity, treatment, and in-hospital and long-term outcome data were collected from the Diagnostic Procedure Combination and medical charts. Data were analyzed using univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis. The mean age of registered patients was 78.0±12.5 years and 52.8% were male. Elderly patients (age >75 years) accounted for 68.9%, and HF with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) accounted for 45.1%. Median length of hospital stay was 18 days and in-hospital mortality was 7.7%. The median follow-up period was 4.3 years, and the incidence rates for cardiovascular death and rehospitalization for HF were 7.1 and 21.1 per 100 person-years, respectively.Conclusions:A contemporary nationwide registry demonstrated that hospitalized HF patients were very elderly, HFpEF was common, and their prognosis was still poor in Japan.

Background:The clinical features of patients with cardiomyopathy, including dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), or restrictive cardiomyopathy (RCM), have not been recently elucidated in Japan.Methods and Results:We collected individual patient data regarding demographics, echocardiogram, and treatment in DCM from 2003 to 2014 and in HCM and RCM from 2009 to 2014 from the national registry of clinical personal records organized by the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare. In all, 44,136 patients were included in this registry: 40,537 with DCM, 3,553 with HCM, and 46 with RCM. The median age at diagnosis was older for DCM and HCM than RCM (54 and 55 vs. 42 years, respectively). Male patients accounted for 74.6%, 58.7%, and 60.9% of the DCM, HCM, and RCM groups, respectively. NYHA functional Class III–IV was found in 26.9%, 11.3%, and 58.1% of patients in the DCM, HCM, and RCM groups, respectively. In the DCM group, the rates of β-blocker and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor/angiotensin receptor blocker prescription were 69% and 76%, respectively. In regional subgroup analysis, the median age at diagnosis of DCM and HCM was younger in the Kanto region. A family history of HCM was less frequent in the Hokkaido/Tohoku region.Conclusions:The national registry of clinical personal records of cardiomyopathy could provide important information regarding the demographics, clinical characteristics, and management of cardiomyopathy throughout Japan.

Background:Ischemic preconditioning (IPC) is an effective procedure to protect against ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. Hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (Hif-1α) is a key molecule in IPC, and roxadustat (RXD), a first-in-class prolyl hydroxylase domain-containing protein inhibitor, has been recently developed to treat anemia in patients with chronic kidney disease. Thus, we investigated whether RXD pretreatment protects against I/R injury.Methods and Results:RXD pretreatment markedly reduced the infarct size and suppressed plasma creatinine kinase activity in a murine I/R model. Analysis of oxygen metabolism showed that RXD could produce ischemic tolerance by shifting metabolism from aerobic to anaerobic respiration.Conclusions:RXD pretreatment may be a novel strategy against I/R injury.

Background: Little is known about nationwide temporal trends in the clinical characteristics and treatment of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) in Japan.Methods and Results: We collected data regarding demographics, echocardiography, and treatment of DCM between 2003 to 2013 from Clinical Personal Records, a national registry organized by the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour, and Welfare. Among the 40,794 DCM patients screened, 27,702 with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) <50% and age ≥18 years were enrolled in this study and divided into 3 groups according to registration year: Group 1, 2003–2005 (10,006 patients); Group 2, 2006–2010 (11,252 patients); and Group 3, 2011–2013 (6,444 patients). Over time, there were decreases in age at registration (mean [±SD] 58.6±13.0 vs. 56.8±13.8 vs. 56.2±13.8 years; P<0.001) and LVEF (33.5±10.0% vs. 31.1±9.9% vs. 29.2± 9.7%; P<0.001), and an increase in patients with New York Heart Association Class III–IV (28.2% vs. 35.2% vs. 41.0%; P<0.001). The use of β-blockers (59.1% vs. 79.3% vs. 87.8%; P<0.001) and mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (30.6% vs. 35.8% vs. 39.7%; P<0.001) increased over time. In multivariate analysis, male sex, systolic blood pressure, chronic kidney disease, hemoglobin, and registration year were positively associated, whereas age and LVEF were negatively associated, with β-blocker prescription.Conclusions: Although the clinical characteristics of DCM changed, the implementation of optimal medical therapy for DCM increased from 2003 to 2013 in Japan.

Background: Prognosis after acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) is poor. An appropriate risk score that would allow for improved care and treatment of ADHF patients after discharge, however, is lacking. Methods and Results: We used 2 HF cohorts, the NARA-HF study and JCARE-CARD, as derivation and validation cohorts, respectively. The primary endpoint was all-cause death during the 2-year follow-up, excluding in-hospital death. Age, hemoglobin (Hb), and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) at discharge were identified as independent risk factors. We determined 3 categorizations on the basis of these parameters, termed A2B score: age (<65 years, 0; 65–74 years, 1; ≥75 years, 2), anemia (Hb <10 g/dL, 2; 10–11.9 g/dL, 1; ≥12 g/dL, 0) and BNP (<200 pg/mL, 0; 200–499 pg/mL, 1; ≥500 pg/mL, 2). We divided patients into 4 groups according to A2B score (extremely low, 0; low, 1–2; medium, 3–4; high, 5–6). For the extremely low-risk group, the 2-year survival rate was 97.8%, compared with 84.5%, 66.1%, and 45.2% for the low-, medium-, and high-risk groups, respectively. Using the JCARE-CARD as a validation model, for the extremely low-risk group, the 2-year survival was 95.4%, compared with 90.2%, 75.0%, and 55.6% for the low-, medium-, and high-risk groups, respectively. Conclusions: The user-friendly A2B score is useful for estimating survival rate in ADHF patients at discharge.
