The American Heart Association Scientific Sessions were held in Orlando on November 7–15, 2015. The meeting attracted more than 18,000 participants, including physicians, research scientists, students, and paramedical personnel, from more than 100 countries. Sessions over the 5 days included a comprehensive and unparalleled education delivered via more than 5,000 presentations, with 1,000 invited faculty members and 4,000 abstract presentations from the world leaders in cardiovascular disease. It also displayed the newest cardiovascular technology and resources by more than 200 exhibitors. There were 19 trials scheduled in 6 late-breaking clinical trial sessions. The Systolic Blood Pressure Intervention Trial (SPRINT) aimed to determine the most appropriate targets for the systolic blood pressure among persons without diabetes. A total of 9,361 persons with systolic blood pressure of ≥130 mmHg and an increased cardiovascular risk, but without diabetes, were randomly assigned to a target systolic blood pressure of <120 mmHg (intensive treatment) or a target of <140 mmHg (standard treatment). A significantly lower rate of the primary composite outcome and all-cause mortality in the intensive-treatment group than in the standard-treatment group was observed. Summaries and overviews of the late-breaking trials, clinical science special report sessions, and sessions to which members of the Japanese Circulation Society contributed are presented.

A 45-year-old male was admitted to our hospital after successful resuscitation of cardiac arrest. Ventricular fibrillation (VF) had occurred during breakfast and was defibrillated by an automated external defibrillator operated by emergency medical service staff. On admission, his ECG demonstrated complete right bundle branch block as the sole abnormality. Intensive examination could not detect any structural disease leading to a diagnosis of idiopathic VF and implantation of an ICD. VF storm occurred one month after hospital discharge and beta-blocker, amiodarone, and sedative administration had no effect on VF. Likewise, catheter ablation for triggering premature ventricular beats failed to control the VF storm. The VF storm then subsided in the following weeks and the patient was discharged on amiodarone. A half month later VF storm recurred and the patient was admitted again. This time, isoproterenol infusion was effective in suppressing VF, and thereafter the patient was administered bepridil and followed up without recurrence of VF for 1.5 years. From these beneficial effects, the VF of the patient was suggested to share common arrhythmogenic characteristics to those of Brugada syndrome or J-wave associated VF.
