Background:The characteristics and prognosis of implanted pacemaker-identified new-onset atrial fibrillation (AF) in Japanese people has not been well evaluated.Methods and Results:A total of 395 consecutive patients with newly implanted pacemakers were retrospectively analyzed between January 2010 and December 2015 at Yokohama City University Hospital. Patients with a prior history of AF, VVI mode pacemaker, congenital heart disease, severe valvular heart disease, and cardiovascular surgery before pacemaker implantation were excluded. Among the remaining patients, 44 (21.3%) developed new AF during follow-up (mean follow-up, 1,115±651 days; range, 9–2,176 days). Patients with new-onset AF had a significantly higher CHADS2score (2.09±1.27 vs. 1.31±1.08, P<0.001) and CHA2DS2-VASc score (3.00±1.39 vs. 2.26±1.19, P<0.001) compared with those without new-onset AF. On Cox regression analysis only age at implantation was significantly correlated with new-onset AF. Interestingly, the incidence of hospitalization due to heart failure was significantly higher in the new-onset AF than in the without new-onset AF group.Conclusions:A total of 21.3% of pacemaker-implanted patients with high CHADS2and CHA2DS2-VASc scores developed new-onset AF during a mean follow-up of 3.1 years; and pacemaker-identified AF was associated with an increased risk of worsening heart failure.

Background The significance of inverted T waves remains unclear in patients with acute pulmonary embolism (PE). Methods and Results The relationship of the number of leads with inverted T waves to the severity of PE in 40 patients with acute PE was studied. Patients were classified into 3 groups according to the number of leads with inverted T waves on the admission electrocardiogram (ECG): 15 patients, ≤3 leads (group L); 12 patients, 4-6 leads (group M); and 13 patients, ≥7 leads (group H). In groups L, M and H, the rates of right ventricular dysfunction on echocardiography were 47%, 92% and 100% (p<0.01), respectively, and the rates of in-hospital complicated events (including death or the need for catecholamine support, cardiopulmonary resuscitation or mechanical cardiovascular support because of hemodynamic instability) were 0%, 8% and 46% (p=0.004), respectively. On multivariate analysis, arterial hypotension at presentation (odds ratio (OR) 8.96, p=0.049) and inverted T waves in ≥7 leads on the admission ECG (OR 16.8, p=0.037) were the only independent predictors of in-hospital complicated events. Conclusions The number of leads with inverted T waves may be a useful and simple marker of increased risk for early complications in patients with acute PE. (Circ J 2006; 70: 750 - 755)
