Background This study was designed to evaluate the effects of low-frequency electrical stimulation (LFES) on muscle strength and blood flow in patients with advanced chronic heart failure (CHF). Methods and Results Patients with CHF (n=15; age 56.5±5.2 years; New York Heart Association III - IV; ejection fraction 18.7±3.3%) were examined before and after 6 weeks of LFES (10 Hz) of the quadriceps and calf muscles of both legs (1 h/day, 7 days/week). Dynamometry was performed weekly to determine maximal muscle strength (Fmax; N) and isokinetic peak torque (PTmax; Nm); blood flow velocity (BFV) was measured at baseline and after 6 weeks of LFES using pulsed-wave Doppler velocimetry of the right femoral artery. Six weeks of LFES significantly increased Fmax (from 224.5±96.8 N to 340.0±99.4 N; p<0.001), and also PTmax (from 94.5±41.5 Nm to 135.3±28.8 Nm; p<0.01). BFV in the femoral artery increased after 6 weeks from 35.7±15.4 cm/s to 48.2±18.1 cm/s (p<0.05); BFV values at rest before and after 6 weeks of LFES did not differ significantly. Conclusions LFES may improve muscle strength and blood supply, and could be recommended for the treatment of patients with severe CHF. (Circ J 2006; 70: 75 - 82)

Background:Target lesion calcification is known to influence percutaneous coronary intervention. We evaluated the effects of rotational atherectomy (RA) and subsequent balloon angioplasty on calcified coronary lesions using optical coherence tomography (OCT).Methods and Results:Thirty-seven calcified lesions in 36 patients were treated with RA followed by balloon angioplasty and stent implantation. In all patients, serial OCT images obtained after RA, after balloon angioplasty, and after stent implantation were analyzed at 1-mm intervals. The arc and thickness of the calcium component were measured after RA. The formation of calcium cracks was assessed after balloon angioplasty. A total of 625 segments were analyzed. The formation of calcium crack after balloon angioplasty was associated with greater stent cross-sectional area (7.38±1.92 vs. 7.13±1.68 mm2, P=0.035) as well as greater lumen gain (3.89±1.53 vs. 3.40±1.46 mm2, P<0.001). Segments with calcium cracks after angioplasty had a larger median calcium arc (360°, IQR, 246–360° vs. 147°, IQR, 118–199°, P<0.001) and a thinner calcium thickness (0.53±0.28 vs. 1.02±0.42 mm, P<0.001) than those without. The optimal thresholds of calcium arc and calcium thickness for the prediction of cracks were 227° and 0.67 mm, respectively.Conclusions:Larger calcium arc and thinner calcium thickness were associated with formation of calcium crack. Presence of calcium crack was the important determinant of optimal stent expansion. (Circ J 2016; 80: 1413–1419)

Background:There is no information on differences in the effects of moderate- and low-intensity statins on coronary plaque in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). The aim of this study was to compare the effects of 4 different statins in patients with ACS, using intravascular ultrasound (IVUS).Methods and Results:A total of 118 patients with ACS who underwent IVUS before percutaneous coronary intervention and who were found to have mild to moderate non-culprit coronary plaques were randomly assigned to receive either 20 mg/day atorvastatin or 4 mg/day pitavastatin (moderate-intensity statin therapy), or 10 mg/day pravastatin or 30 mg/day fluvastatin (low-intensity statin therapy). IVUS at baseline and at end of 10-month treatment was available in 102 patients. Mean percentage change in plaque volume (PV) was –11.1±12.8%, –8.1±16.9%, 0.4±16.0%, and 3.1±20.0% in the atorvastatin, pitavastatin, pravastatin, and fluvastatin groups, respectively (P=0.007, ANOVA). Moderate-intensity statin therapy induced regression of PV, whereas low-intensity statin therapy produced insignificant progression (–9.6% vs. 1.8%, P<0.001). On multivariate linear regression analysis, moderate-intensity statin therapy (P=0.02) and uric acid at baseline (P=0.02) were significant determinants of large percent PV reduction. LDL-C at follow-up did not correlate with percent PV change.Conclusions:Moderate-intensity statin therapy induced regression of coronary PV, whereas low-intensity statin therapy resulted in slight progression of coronary PV in patients with ACS.

Background:Acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) is often accompanied by liver congestion through increased right atrial pressure (RAP). Liver stiffness (LS) assessed non-invasively using transient elastography is related to increased RAP and liver congestion in patients with general HF. We investigated the relationship of LS with clinical and echocardiographic variables and outcomes in patients with ADHF.Methods and Results:The subjects were 105 patients with ADHF admitted to hospital between October 2016 and June 2017. Patients were divided into 2 groups based on median LS at admission (low LS <8.8 kPa [n=52] vs. high LS ≥8.8 kPa [n=53]). Death from cardiovascular disease and readmission for HF were primary endpoints. Total bilirubin and γ-glutamyl transpeptidase levels, MELD-XI score, diameters of the inferior vena cava and right ventricle, and severity of tricuspid regurgitation were greater in the high LS group (all P<0.05). During a median (interquartile range) follow-up period of 153 (83–231) days, cardiac events occurred in 29 patients (54%) in the high LS group and in 13 (25%) in the low LS group (P=0.001). After adjusting for variables that influence organ congestion, a high LS ≥8.8 kPa was still significantly associated with cardiac events (all P<0.05).Conclusions:Increased LS measured by transient elastography reflects RAP elevation, hepatic congestion, and hepatic dysfunction. LS upon admission may be a useful prognostic marker in patients with ADHF.

Background: Heart rate (HR) predicts outcomes in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS), whereas the impact of HR on outcomes after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the impact of HR after resuscitation on outcomes after OHCA and whether the impact differs with OHCA etiology.Methods and Results: Of 16,452 patients suffering from OHCA, this study analyzed 741 adults for whom HR after resuscitation was recorded by 12-lead electrocardiogram upon hospital arrival. Etiology of OHCA was categorized into 3 groups: ACS, non-ACS, and non-cardiac. Patients in each etiology group were further divided into tachycardia (>100 beats/min) and non-tachycardia (≤100 beats/min). The impact of HR on outcomes was evaluated in each group. Among the 741 patients, the mean age was 67.6 years and 497 (67.1%) patients were male. The primary outcome – 3-month all-cause mortality – was observed in 55.8% of patients. Tachycardia after resuscitation in patients with ACS was significantly associated with higher all-cause mortality at 3 months (P=0.002), but there was no significant association between tachycardia and mortality in non-ACS and non-cardiac etiology patients. In a multivariate analysis model, the incidence of tachycardia after resuscitation independently predicted higher 3-month all-cause mortality in OHCA patients with ACS (hazard ratio: 2.17 [95% confidence interval: 1.05–4.48], P=0.04).Conclusions: Increased HR after resuscitation was associated with higher mortality only in patients with ACS.

Background:Although there is an increase in the use of mechanical circulatory support devices to rescue patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) complicated by refractory cardiogenic shock (CS), the optimal timing of the application remains controversial. Therefore, this study aimed to compare the clinical outcomes between venoarterial-extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) insertion before and after coronary revascularization in AMI patients with refractory CS.Methods and Results:A total of 253 patients with AMI who underwent revascularization therapy with VA-ECMO were included. The study population was stratified into extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (E-CPR) before revascularization (N=106, reference cohort) and refractory CS without E-CPR before revascularization (n=147, comparison cohort). Patients with refractory CS but without E-CPR before revascularization were further divided into VA-ECMO before revascularization (N=50) and VA-ECMO after revascularization (n=97). The primary endpoint was a composite of in-hospital mortality, left ventricular assist device implantation, and heart transplantation. The primary endpoint occurred in 60 patients (40.8%) of the comparison cohort and 51 patients (48.1%) of the reference cohort. Among the comparison cohort, the primary endpoint was significantly lower in VA-ECMO before revascularization than in VA-ECMO after revascularization (32.0% vs. 49.5%, OR 0.480, 95% CI 0.235–0.982, P=0.045). A similar trend was observed after a 1-year follow up.Conclusions:Early initiation of VA-ECMO before revascularization therapy might improve clinical outcomes in patients with AMI complicated by refractory CS.

Background: This study aimed to identify the association between long term functional outcomes and acute ischemic stroke (AIS) in patients with heart failure (HF) in Japan and whether 1-year event risks can be related to these patients.Methods and Results: This was a prospective observational study, and 651 patients registered in the Tokyo Women’s Medical University Stroke Registry were classified into the HF and non-HF groups. Functional outcome at 1 year after stroke onset was defined as either good (modified Rankin Scale [mRS] score of 0–2) or poor (mRS score of 3–6). The primary outcome was a composite of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), including non-fatal stroke, non-fatal acute coronary syndrome, and vascular death. Patients with HF had a higher poor functional outcome rate at 1 year than those without HF (54.7% vs. 28.2%, P<0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis also demonstrated the prevalence of HF was an independent predictor of an mRS score of ≥3 at 1 year after stroke onset (odds ratio, 1.05; 95% confidence interval, 1.00–1.10; P=0.036). Furthermore, patients with HF tended to have a higher risk of MACE and all-cause mortality than those without HF.Conclusions: AIS patients with HF were associated with poor functional outcome at the 1-year follow up. Further multicenter studies involving a larger number of patients are warranted to verify these results.

Background:Recently, identification of independent risk factors for ischemic stroke in Japanese non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) patients was made by analyzing the 5 major Japanese registries: J-RHYTHM Registry, Fushimi AF Registry, Shinken Database, Keio interhospital Cardiovascular Studies, and the Hokuriku-Plus AF Registry.Methods and Results:The predictive value of the risk scheme in Japanese NVAF patients was assessed. Of 16,918 patients, 12,289 NVAF patients were analyzed (mean follow up, 649±181 days). Hazard ratios (HRs) of each significant, independent risk factor were determined by using adjusted Cox-hazard proportional analysis. Scoring system for ischemic stroke was created by transforming HR logarithmically and was estimated by c-statistic. During the 21,820 person-years follow up, 241 ischemic stroke events occurred. Significant risk factors were: being elderly (aged 75–84 years [E], HR=1.74), extreme elderly (≥85 years [EE], HR=2.41), having hypertension (H, HR=1.60), previous stroke (S, HR=2.75), type of AF (persistent/permanent) (T, HR=1.59), and low body mass index <18.5 kg/m2(L, HR=1.55) after adjusting for oral anticoagulant treatment. The score was assigned as follows: 1 point to H, E, L, and T, and 2 points to EE and S (HELT-E2S2score). The C-statistic, using this score, was 0.681 (95% confidence interval [CI]=0.647–0.714), which was significantly higher than those using CHADS2(0.647; 95% CI=0.614–0.681, P=0.027 for comparison) and CHA2DS2-VASc scores (0.641; 95% CI=0.608–0.673, P=0.008).Conclusions:The HELT-E2S2score may be useful for identifying Japanese NVAF patients at risk of ischemic stroke.

Background:This study aimed to determine whether disease severity varied according to whether coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients had multiple or single cardiovascular diseases and risk factors (CVDRFs).Methods and Results:COVID-19 patients with single (n=281) or multiple (n=412) CVDRFs were included retrospectively. Multivariable logistic regression showed no significant difference in the risk of in-hospital death between groups, but patients with multiple CVDRFs had a significantly higher risk of acute respiratory distress syndrome (odds ratio: 1.75, 95% confidence interval: 1.09–2.81).Conclusions:COVID-19 patients with multiple CVDRFs have a higher risk of complications than those with a single CDVRF.

Background:OPC-61815, a prodrug of tolvaptan, is an injectable aquaretic drug. This study evaluated the tolerability of OPC-61815 in patients with congestive heart failure (CHF) who had difficulty with, or were incapable of, oral intake in a multicenter, uncontrolled, open-label Phase III study.Methods and Results:Forty-five patients were enrolled at 30 Japanese sites. OPC-61815 infusion was administered once daily; the 8 mg initial dose could be increased to 16 mg if the dose escalation criteria were met. Patients were treated for up to 5 days. Thirty-eight patients maintained the 8-mg dose and 7 had a dose increase to 16 mg; 41 completed the trial (34 completed early). One patient had mild hypernatremia. No significant safety concerns were observed with OPC-61815 administration at a starting dose of 8 mg and with dose escalation in accordance with the protocol-specified criteria. Treatment resulted in weight decrease (−3.01 kg); improvement or disappearance rates for other CHF symptoms (including edema, dyspnea, orthopnea, pulmonary congestion, and rales) indicated that treatment was effective. Urine excretion was increased 0–1 h after OPC-61815 administration and reached a maximum level at 1–2 h.Conclusions:The tolerability of once daily (up to 5 days) intravenous OPC-61815 (8 mg or 16 mg) was confirmed in patients with CHF who had difficulty with, or were incapable of, oral intake.

Background: Urine osmolality (U-OSM) is valuable to predict response to tolvaptan (TLV) in decompensated heart failure patients, but measurement of U-OSM is not always available on site. Methods and Results: Data were collected from 66 hospitalized patients with decompensated heart failure who had received TLV at 3.75–15mg/day. U-OSM, which was estimated using the following formula: 1.07×{2×[(urine sodium (mEq/L)]+[urine urea nitrogen (mg/dl)]/2.8+[urine creatinine (mg/dl)]×2/3}+16, was well correlated with the actual measurement (r=0.938, P<0.001). Criteria consisting of C1 (estimated baseline U-OSM >358mOsm/L) and C2 (%decrease in estimated U-OSM >24% at 4–6h after the first TLV dose) significantly discriminated responders from non-responders (P<0.05). Conclusions: Response to TLV can be predicted using U-OSM, which can be estimated using urine urea nitrogen, sodium, and creatinine concentration data.  (Circ J 2013; 77: 1208–1213)

Background:Two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) after ST-elevation acute myocardial infarction (STEMI) can predict the prognosis. This study investigated the clinical significance of a serial 3D-STE can predict the prognosis after onset of STEMI.Methods and Results:This study enrolled 272 patients (mean age, 65 years) with first-time STEMI treated with reperfusion therapy. At 24 h after admission, standard 2D echocardiography and 3D full-volume imaging were performed, and 2D-STE and 3D-STE were calculated. Within 1 year, 19 patients who experienced major adverse cardiac events (MACE; cardiac death, heart failure requiring hospitalization) were excluded. Among the 253 patients, 248 were examined with follow-up echocardiography. The patients were followed up for a median of 108 months (interquartile range: 96–129 months). The primary endpoint was the occurrence of a MACE; 45 patients experienced MACEs. Receiver operating characteristic curves and Cox hazard multivariate analysis showed that the 2D-global longitudinal strain (GLS) and 3D-GLS at 1-year indices were significant predictors of MACE. The Kaplan-Meier curve demonstrated that a 3D-GLS of >−13.1 was an independent predictor for MACE (log-rank χ2=165.5, P<0.0001). The deterioration of 3D-GLS at 1 year was a significant prognosticator (log-rank χ2=36.7, P<0.0001).Conclusions:The deterioration of 3D-GLS measured by STE at 1 year after the onset of STEMI is the strongest predictor of long-term prognosis.

Background:The prevalence of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) among hospitalized psychiatric patients after coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection remains unclear.Methods and Results:We retrospectively investigated the prevalence of proximal DVT after COVID-19 infection among 50 hospitalized patients in a Japanese psychiatric hospital that in which a COVID-19 cluster developed between August and September 2020. The prevalence of proximal DVT was 10.0%. Patients with proximal DVT had a lower body weight and higher maximum D-dimer levels and International Medical Prevention Registry on Venous Thromboembolism (IMPROVE) VTE scores.Conclusions:After COVID-19 infection, hospitalized psychiatric patients are at high risk of DVT and should be carefully followed up.

Background:This study retrospectively evaluated the long-term patient outcomes and durability of the Mosaic mitral porcine bioprosthesis in the Japan Mosaic valve long-term multicenter study.Methods and Results:The medical records of 390 patients who underwent mitral valve replacement with the Mosaic bioprosthesis at 10 centers in Japan (1999–2014) were reviewed. Patient data were collected using the Research Electronic Data Capture software. Patient survival was determined using the Kaplan-Meier method. Freedom from structural valve deterioration (SVD) and valve-related reoperation and death were determined using actuarial methods. The median (interquartile range [IQR]) age of the cohort was 73 (69–77) years. The median (IQR) follow-up period was 4.83 (1.84–8.26) years. The longest follow-up period was 15.8 years. The 30-day mortality rate was 5.4%. The 12-year actuarial survival rate was 54.1±4.5%, and the freedom from valve-related death was 85.3±3.4%. The freedom from reoperation at 12 years was 74.3±5.7%. The freedom from SVD at 12 years was 81.4±6.6% for patients aged ≥65 years and 71.6±11.1% for those aged <65 years. The median (IQR) mean pressure gradient was 4.1 (3.0–6.0) and 5.6 (4.0–6.7) mmHg at 1 and 10 years, respectively. The median (IQR) effective orifice area was 1.7 (1.4–2.0) and 1.4 (1.2–1.6) cm2at 1 and 10 years, respectively.Conclusions:The Mosaic porcine bioprosthesis offered satisfactory long-term outcomes for up to 12 years.

Background:The clinical significance of concomitant mitral regurgitation (MR) has not been well addressed in patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS).Methods and Results:We analyzed 3,815 patients from a retrospective multicenter registry of severe AS in Japan (CURRENT AS registry). We compared the clinical outcomes between patients with moderate/severe MR and with none/mild MR according to the initial treatment strategy (initial aortic valve replacement [AVR] or conservative strategy). The primary outcome measure was a composite of aortic valve-related death or heart failure hospitalization. At baseline, moderate/severe MR was present in 227/1,197 (19%) patients with initial AVR strategy and in 536/2,618 (20%) patients with a conservative strategy. The crude cumulative 5-year incidence of the primary outcome measure was significantly higher in patients with moderate/severe MR than in those with none/mild MR, regardless of the initial treatment strategy (25.2% vs. 14.4%, P<0.001 in the initial AVR strategy, and 63.3% vs. 40.7%, P<0.001 in the conservative strategy). After adjusting confounders, moderate/severe MR was not independently associated with higher risk for the primary outcome measure in the initial AVR strategy (hazard ratio [HR] 1.11, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.67–1.83, P=0.69), and in the conservative strategy (HR 1.13, 95% CI 0.93–1.37, P=0.22).Conclusions:Concomitant moderate/severe MR was not independently associated with higher risk for the primary outcome measure regardless of the initial treatment strategy.
