Background:The purpose of this study was to clarify the implementation rate of multidisciplinary heart failure (HF) care and cardiac rehabilitation (CR) in Japan, as well as the relationship between implementation rates and characteristics of the facility.Methods and Results:Survey participants were cardiologists who are members of the Japan Heart Failure Society and belonged to 1 of 845 medical institutions that are members of the Japan Heart Failure Society, as of April 2016. A total of 288 institutions (34.1%) returned the questionnaire. The percentages of hospitals implementing multidisciplinary HF care were 78.5% for inpatients and 32.6% for outpatients with HF. Inpatient and outpatient CR for HF had implementation rates of 80.4% and 56.5%, respectively. In addition, very few HF patients (7.3%, 3,741/51,323 patients) received outpatient CR. Both the presence of nurses certified in chronic HF care and registered CR instructors on staff were consistently associated with implementation of multidisciplinary HF care, and Japanese Circulation Society training hospitals, lower number of hospital beds, and presence of registered CR instructors on staff were consistently associated with implementation of CR.Conclusions:This first nationwide survey demonstrated that the implementation rates of multidisciplinary care and CR for HF, especially for outpatients, are low in Japan. Skilled healthcare professionals are expected to play important roles in the widespread implementation of this type of HF care in Japan.

Objective: Early mobilization and rehabilitation has become common and expectations for physical therapists working in intensive care units have increased in Japan. The objective of this study was to establish consensus-based minimum clinical practice standards for physical therapists working in intensive care units in Japan. It also aimed to make an international comparison of minimum clinical practice standards in this area. Methods: In total, 54 experienced physical therapists gave informed consent and participated in this study. A modified Delphi method with questionnaires was used over three rounds. Participants rated 272 items as "essential/unknown/non-essential". Consensus was considered to be reached on items that over 70% of physical therapists rated as "essential" to clinical practice in the intensive care unit. Results: Of the 272 items in the first round, 188 were deemed essential. In round 2, 11 of the 62 items that failed to reach consensus in round 1 were additionally deemed essential. No item was added to the "essential" consensus in round 3. In total, 199 items were therefore deemed essential as a minimum standard of clinical practice. Participants agreed that 42 items were not essential and failed to reach agreement on 31 others. Identified 199 items were different from those in the UK and Australia due to national laws, cultural and historical backgrounds. Conclusions: This is the first study to develop a consensus-based minimum clinical practice standard for physical therapists working in intensive care units in Japan.

Background:Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is an athero-occlusive disease and a known risk factor for cardiovascular events. The controlling nutritional status (CONUT) score and geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) are objective tools for evaluating malnutrition and are reportedly associated with poor clinical outcomes in patients with fatal diseases. However, the effect of malnutrition on the clinical outcomes in patients with PAD remains unclear.

[Purpose] It is important to facilitate intestinal motility in patients with reduced bowel movement through physiotherapy. The purpose of the present study was to compare the effects of passive exercise of the lower limbs and trunk (PELT) and combination therapies (COM) with those of conventional thermotherapy (TT) on bowel sounds (BSs) in healthy adult subjects. Since autonomic activity (AA) significantly influences intestinal motility, we also investigated the relation between intestinal motility and AA by measurement of BSs. [Subjects] The subjects were 16 healthy adult males. [Methods] The subjects were randomly assigned to 3 different physiotherapies, and BSs and sympathetic nerve activity were measured before and after the physiotherapies. [Results] While BSs significantly increased following all physiotherapies, the temporal changes in BSs were different among the physiotherapies. AA measurement showed that PELT and TT significantly decreased the heart rate. While the high-frequency (HF) component was increased in all physiotherapy groups, the increases in HF did not reach statistical significance. There were no significant correlations between BSs and AA. [Conclusion] We found that all of the tested physiotherapies increased BSs, suggesting that they are clinically useful for treatment of patients with reduced intestinal motility due to limited spontaneous movement or inability to rise up from bed.

Objective: Postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) is a common complication after cardiac surgery. The aim of this multicenter study was to determine the relationship between POAF and patients' progress in early rehabilitation after heart valve surgery. Methods: We enrolled 302 patients (mean age, 69±10 years) who had undergone heart valve surgery. POAF was monitored using continuous electrocardiogram telemetry, and the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) was used to assess lower-extremity function before surgery and at the time of discharge. Progress in early rehabilitation was evaluated by the duration from the surgery to independent walking. We determined factors associated delayed early rehabilitation and evaluated the interplay of POAF and delayed early rehabilitation in increasing the risk of decline in lower-extremity function from preoperatively to hospital discharge. Results: Multivariate analysis determined POAF to be independent predictors of delayed early rehabilitation after heart valve surgery (OR: 3.906, P =.01). The association between delayed early rehabilitation and decline in lower extremity function was stronger in patients with POAF (OR: 2.73, P =.041) than in those without (OR: 2.22, P =.052). Conclusions: POAF was clinical predictors of delayed early rehabilitation in patients undergoing heart valve surgery. The combination of POAF with delayed early rehabilitation conferred a high risk of decline in lower-extremity function during hospitalization.

In recent years, the importance of early physiotherapy for rapid mental and physical functional recovery is increasing with the increasing number of older patients and high-risk patients with duplicate disorders. Increasing the effectiveness of acute physiotherapy within a shorter hospital stay is a great challenge. We published the first expert consensus of early rehabilitation in Asia in 2017. Our expert consensus will contribute to the establishment of physiotherapy in intensive care for Asian populations. The minimum standard of clinical practice for physiotherapists working in critical care settings is important to showcase physiotherapists' knowledge and abilities as medical professionals working in the intensive care unit. We are planning to release the minimum standard of clinical practice for Japanese physiotherapists working in critical care settings in 2020. Being in the forefront among nations of aging populations, Japan has a rapidly increasing number of older frail patients with heart failure. Further studies are necessary to confirm the effectiveness of task-specific exercise training considering the characteristics of frailty.

[Purpose] The aim of this study was to determine the lower-limb muscle activities during muscle exercise using an on-the-bed muscle training device that utilizes the intermittent inflation of an oval rubber balloon placed against the sole. [Subjects and Methods] Ten healthy subjects were asked to adopt a semi-recumbent position with a flat oval chloridized polyvinyl balloon placed against the sole. The subjects were asked to extend both their legs when they felt the inflation of the balloon on their plantar surface. This exercise was defined as leg exercise against intermittent sole pressure stimulation (ExISPS). [Results] The root-mean-square (RMS)-EMG values of the vastus medialis during ExISPS in the semi-recumbent position were similar to those when standing up from 45-degree knee flexion and calf-raising. The RMS-EMG values of the biceps femoris showed no significant difference among these exercises. The RMS-EMG values of gastrocnemius medialis during ExISPS in the semi-recumbent position were higher than those when standing up from 45-degree knee flexion and standing up from a chair. [Conclusion] The findings of this study suggest that the muscle activities during ExISPS mimic or are greater than those required of the leg in daily life.

We report a case of a 51-year-old man presenting anxiety and autonomic symptoms of panic-like attacks and simultaneous auditory hallucination. No abnormalities were evident in a physical examination but his cognitive function was impaired. Thus panic disorder or non-specific dementia with psychosis was initially suspected. Brain MRI was almost normal, except for an old right basal ganglia infarction and mild frontal atrophy. Neuroimaging studies showed reduced glucose metabolism over bilateral frontal, right temporal and right parietal regions. When a panic-like attack occurred, EEG documented ictal discharges in the right frontal and temporal areas. After successful treatment with carbamazepine, cognitive dysfunction and abnormal findings on brain imaging were improved. This case suggests that epilepsy should be suspected in a patients presenting with anxiety symptoms of panic-like attacks and hallucinations.

Background: The diagonal ear-lobe crease (ELC) is reported to be a marker of cardiovascular disease. Very few reports have assessed the relationship of ELC with atherosclerosis. This relationship is investigated here using a Japanese population. Methods and Results: A prospective cross-sectional study included 212 consecutive patients. Bilateral ear lobes were checked for the ELC and this was followed by carotid ultrasonography to measure the far wall common carotid artery intima-media thickness (CCA-IMT), plaque score (PS) and plaque number (PN). Patients with ELC had significantly higher carotid IMT than controls (0.90 ±0.24 vs 0.77 ±0.15, respectively, P<0.001). ELC presence correlated significantly with carotid IMT, PS, and PN (r=0.306, P<0.0001; r=0.198, P<0.008 and r=0.221, P<0.0001, respectively), and also with age, male sex and hypertension. ELC presence and absence in mild or no PS and moderate or severe PS subgroups was significant, with a chi-squared value of 7.59 (P<0.006). In multivariate regression analysis, ELC presence correlated with CCA-IMT independently. The odds ratio for the presence of ELC in patients with CCA-IMT of <0.8 mm vs patients with CCA-IMT of ≥0.8 mm (the median value) was 0.41 (95% confidence interval, 0.22-0.76). Conclusions: The present study showed an association between ELC and increased CCA-IMT, PS, and PN. (Circ J 2009; 73: 1945-1949)
