Background:Hypertension in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) is a known independent risk factor for stroke. The Complete blood pressure (BP) monitor (Omron Healthcare, Kyoto, Japan) was developed as the first BP monitor with electrocardiogram (ECG) capability in a single device to simultaneously monitor ECG and BP readings. This study investigated whether the Complete can accurately differentiate sinus rhythm (SR) from AF during BP measurement.Methods and Results:Fifty-six consecutive patients with persistent AF admitted for catheter ablation were enrolled in the study (mean age 65.8 years; 83.9% male). In all patients, 12-lead ECGs and simultaneous Complete recordings were acquired before and after ablation. The Complete interpretations were compared with physician-reviewed ECGs, whereas Complete recordings were reviewed by cardiologists in a blinded manner and compared with ECG interpretations. Sensitivity, specificity, and κ coefficient were also determined. In all, 164 Complete and ECG recordings were simultaneously acquired from the 56 patients. After excluding unclassified recordings, the Complete automated algorithm performed well, with 100% sensitivity, 86% specificity, and a κ coefficient of 0.87 compared with physician-interpreted ECGs. Physician-interpreted Complete recordings performed well, with 99% sensitivity, 85% specificity, and a κ coefficient of 0.85 compared with physician-interpreted ECGs.Conclusions:The Complete, which combines BP and ECG monitoring, can accurately differentiate SR from AF during BP measurement.

Background:The aim of this study was to identify factors of left ventricular filling pressure (LVFP) elevation following transcatheter atrial septal defect (ASD) closure.Methods and Results:The study involved 97 adult patients with sinus rhythm who underwent both transcatheter ASD closure and transthoracic echocardiography. Elevated LVFP was diagnosed during the first month of follow-up according to the American Society of Echocardiography guidelines: that is, ratio of transmitral early filling to the lateral annular diastolic velocity (lateral E/e’) >13 was used to exclude the effect of the device on the atrial septum. Fifteen patients (15.5%) were diagnosed with increased LVFP during the 1-month follow-up period (median lateral E/e’: from 9.2, IQR, 6.6–10.8; to 15.5, IQR, 13.8–17.8; P<0.001). Independent predictors of LVFP elevation were left ventricular (LV) relative wall thickness, lateral E/e›, and peak tricuspid regurgitation pressure gradient (TRPG) at baseline (OR, 1.67; 95% CI: 1.04–2.69; OR, 1.52; 95% CI: 1.07–2.15; and OR, 1.14; 95% CI: 1.04–1.25; cut-offs: 0.42, 7.5, and 27.0 mmHg, respectively). Median lateral E/e› returned to baseline in most patients with LVFP elevation during 6 months of subsequent follow-up (1-month–6-month follow-up: 15.5, IQR, 13.8–17.8; 11.1, IQR, 8.8–14.8, respectively; P=0.001).Conclusions:The increase in Doppler-estimated LVFP following transcatheter ASD closure may be related to LV hypertrophy, diastolic dysfunction, and peak TRPG in elderly patients.

Objective The predictors of in-hospital outcomes after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) complicated with heart failure or cardiogenic shock at presentation remain unclear. Methods Using the AMI-Kyoto Multi-Center Risk Study database, the clinical background characteristics, angiographic findings, primary PCI results, and in-hospital prognoses were retrospectively compared between primary PCI-treated AMI patients with a Killip class status of ≥2 (Killip 2-4 patients, n=390) and those with a Killip class 1 status (Killip 1 patients, n=1,057). Results The Killip 2-4 patients were more likely to have a higher age and proportion of women and exhibited a higher prevalence of previous myocardial infarction, diabetes mellitus and chronic kidney disease or anemia on admission, lower systolic blood pressure (SBP) values on admission, a higher rate of multivessels or left main trunk as the culprit artery, a larger number of diseased vessels, a lower Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) grade in the infarct-related artery (IRA) before/after primary PCI and a significantly higher in-hospital mortality rate than the Killip 1 patients. According to a multivariate analysis, age was found to be an independent positive predictor of in-hospital mortality, while admission SBP was an independent positive predictor of in-hospital survival in both groups. In contrast, anemia on admission was found to be an independent predictor of in-hospital death, while the TIMI 3 flow in the IRA after PCI was found to be an independent factor for survival in the Killip 2-4 patients, but not the Killip 1 patients. Conclusion Anemia on admission and the final TIMI 3 flow in the IRA are critical determinants of in-hospital death in AMI patients with a Killip class status of ≥2 undergoing primary PCI.
