Prognostic value of 1,5-anhydro-d-glucitol incorporating syntax score in acute coronary syndrome
The utility of adding information on 1,5-anhydro-d-glucitol (1,5-AG), a marker for postprandial hyperglycemia, to a pre-existing scoring system in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients is unknown. This retrospec...

Relationships between sodium levels, haemodynamics and metalloproteinases in heart failure patients
To estimate the associations between dysnatraemia and inflammatory marker [including interleukin-6 (IL-6)], and tissue remodelling marker [matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 and tissue inhibitor of MMP (TIMP)-1]...

Open AccessSignificance of day-to-day glucose variability in patients after acute coronary syndrome
Several studies have recently addressed the importance of glycemic variability (GV) in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Although daily GV measures, such as mean amplitude of glycemic excursions, ar...

The P wave morphology in lead V7 on the synthesized 18-lead ECG is a useful parameter for identifying arrhythmias originating from the right inferior pulmonary vein
Atrial tachyarrhythmias often originate from the superior vena cava (SVC), and right superior (RSPV) and inferior pulmonary veins (RIPV). However, a precise differentiation of those origins is challenging usin...

Intra-procedural evaluation of the cavo-tricuspid isthmus anatomy with different techniques: comparison of angiography and intracardiac echocardiography
Cavo-tricuspid isthmus (CTI) anatomies are highly variable, and specific anatomies lead to a difficult CTI ablation. This study aimed to compare the clinical utility of angiography and intracardiac echocardiog...

Endothelial damage and thromboembolic risk after pulmonary vein isolation using the latest ablation technologies: a comparison of the second-generation cryoballoon vs. contact force-sensing radiofrequency ablation
Experimental data suggest that cryoenergy is associated with less endothelial damage and thrombus formation than radiofrequency energy. This study aimed to compare the impact of pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) ...

Association of plasma pentraxin-3 levels with coronary risk factors and the lipid profile: a cross-sectional study in Japanese patients with stable angina pectoris
The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationships among the traditional risk factors, lipid profile, and pentraxin-3 in stable angina (SAP). Plasma pentraxin-3 and serum LDL, HDL, and high-sensitivity CR...
