Open AccessHeart rhythm complexity analysis in patients with inferior ST-elevation myocardial infarction
Heart rhythm complexity (HRC), a subtype of heart rate variability (HRV), is an important tool to investigate cardiovascular disease. In this study, we aimed to analyze serial changes in HRV and HRC metrics in...

Open AccessComparison between drug-coated balloons and drug-eluting stents in very small coronary artery interventions
The optimal management of very small vessel (reference diameter from 2.0 to 2.25 mm) in percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs) is controversial. We aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of drug-coated b...

Open AccessThe periprocedural and 30-day outcomes of carotid stenting in patients with carotid artery near-occlusion
The safety of endovascular revascularization in patients with carotid artery near occlusion (CANO) is unknown. We aimed to evaluate the peri-procedural risk in CANO patients receiving carotid artery stenting (...

Open AccessImpact of conduction disturbances on left ventricular mass regression and geometry change following transcatheter aortic valve replacement
Our study aimed to compare the difference of LV mass regression and remodeling in regard of conduction disturbances (CD) following transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). A prospective analysis of 152 c...

Open AccessUsefulness of heart rhythm complexity in heart failure detection and diagnosis
Heart failure (HF) is a major cardiovascular disease worldwide, and the early detection and diagnosis remain challenges. Recently, heart rhythm complexity analysis, derived from non-linear heart rate variabili...

Open AccessHeart Rhythm Complexity Impairment in Patients with Pulmonary Hypertension
Pulmonary hypertension is a fatal disease, however reliable prognostic tools are lacking. Heart rhythm complexity analysis is derived from non-linear heart rate variability (HRV) analysis and has shown excelle...

Open AccessInhibition of Semicarbazide-sensitive Amine Oxidase Reduces Atherosclerosis in Cholesterol-fed New Zealand White Rabbits
Inflammation, oxidative stress, and the formation of advanced glycated end-products (AGEs) are important components of atherosclerosis. Vascular adhesion protein-1 (VAP-1) participates in inflammation. Its enz...

Open AccessIdentification of Atrial Fibrillation by Quantitative Analyses of Fingertip Photoplethysmogram
Atrial fibrillation (AF) detection is crucial for stroke prevention. We investigated the potential of quantitative analyses of photoplethysmogram (PPG) waveforms to identify AF. Continuous electrocardiogram (E...

Open AccessSerial heart rhythm complexity changes in patients with anterior wall ST segment elevation myocardial infarction
Heart rhythm complexity analysis has been shown to have good prognostic power in patients with cardiovascular disease. The aim of this study was to analyze serial changes in heart rhythm complexity from the ac...

Open AccessTime course and factors predicting arterial stiffness reversal in patients with aldosterone-producing adenoma after adrenalectomy: prospective study of 102 patients
Primary aldosteronism not only results in hypertension but also stiffer arteries. The time course and factors predicting the reversal of arterial stiffness after treatment are unclear. We prospectively enrolle...

Open AccessReversible heart rhythm complexity impairment in patients with primary aldosteronism
Excess aldosterone secretion in patients with primary aldosteronism (PA) impairs their cardiovascular system. Heart rhythm complexity analysis, derived from heart rate variability (HRV), is a powerful tool to ...
