Abstract
Despite guideline-based recommendation of the interchangeable use of instantaneous wave-free ratio (iFR) and fractional flow reserve (FFR) to guide revascularization decision-making, iFR/FFR could demonstrate different physiological or clinical outcomes in some specific patient or lesion subsets. Therefore, we sought to investigate the impact of difference between iFR and FFR-guided revascularization decision-making on clinical outcomes in patients with left main disease (LMD). In this international multicenter registry of LMD with physiological interrogation, we identified 275 patients in whom physiological assessment was performed with both iFR/FFR. Major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE) was defined as a composite of death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, and ischemia-driven target lesion revascularization. The receiver-operating characteristic analysis was performed for both iFR/FFR to predict MACE in respective patients in whom revascularization was deferred and performed. In 153 patients of revascularization deferral, MACE occurred in 17.0% patients. The optimal cut-off values of iFR and FFR to predict MACE were 0.88 (specificity:0.74; sensitivity:0.65) and 0.76 (specificity:0.81; sensitivity:0.46), respectively. The area under the curve (AUC) was significantly higher for iFR than FFR (0.74; 95%CI 0.62-0.85 vs. 0.62; 95%CI 0.48-0.75; p = 0.012). In 122 patients of coronary revascularization, MACE occurred in 13.1% patients. The optimal cut-off values of iFR and FFR were 0.92 (specificity:0.93; sensitivity:0.25) and 0.81 (specificity:0.047; sensitivity:1.00), respectively. The AUCs were not significantly different between iFR and FFR (0.57; 95%CI 0.40-0.73 vs. 0.46; 95%CI 0.31-0.61; p = 0.43). While neither baseline iFR nor FFR was predictive of MACE in patients in whom revascularization was performed, iFR-guided deferral seemed to be safer than FFR-guided deferral.

Abstract
AIMS We aimed to clarify the extent to which cardiac and peripheral impairments to oxygen delivery and utilization contribute to exercise intolerance and risk for adverse events, and how this relates to diversity and multiplicity in pathophysiologic traits. METHODS AND RESULTS Individuals with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and non-cardiac dyspnoea (controls) underwent invasive cardiopulmonary exercise testing and clinical follow-up. Haemodynamics and oxygen transport responses were compared. HFpEF patients were then categorized a priori into previously-proposed, non-exclusive descriptive clinical trait phenogroups, including cardiometabolic, pulmonary vascular disease, left atrial myopathy, and vascular stiffening phenogroups based on clinical and haemodynamic profiles to contrast pathophysiology and clinical risk. Overall, patients with HFpEF (n = 643) had impaired cardiac output reserve with exercise (2.3 vs. 2.8 L/min, p = 0.025) and greater reliance on peripheral oxygen extraction augmentation (4.5 vs. 3.8 ml/dl, p < 0.001) compared to dyspnoeic controls (n = 219). Most (94%) patients with HFpEF met criteria for at least one clinical phenogroup, and 67% fulfilled criteria for multiple overlapping phenogroups. There was greater impairment in peripheral limitations in the cardiometabolic group and greater cardiac output limitations and higher pulmonary vascular resistance during exertion in the other phenogroups. Increasing trait multiplicity within a given patient was associated with worse exercise haemodynamics, poorer exercise capacity, lower cardiac output reserve, and greater risk for heart failure hospitalization or death (hazard ratio 1.74, 95% confidence interval 1.08-2.79 for 0-1 vs. ≥2 phenogroup traits present). CONCLUSIONS Though cardiac output response to exercise is limited in patients with HFpEF compared to those with non-cardiac dyspnoea, the relative contributions of cardiac and peripheral limitations vary with differing numbers and types of clinical phenotypic traits present. Patients fulfilling criteria for greater multiplicity and diversity of HFpEF phenogroup traits have poorer exercise capacity, worsening haemodynamic perturbations, and greater risk for adverse outcome.

Abstract
Background: A high score for controlling nutritional status (CONUT) due to poor nutritional status has been associated with adverse outcomes in patients with chronic heart failure. However, because little is known about the effect of CONUT score on mortality rates after transcatheter mitral valve repair, we evaluated nutrition screening tools for prognosis prediction in patients undergoing transcatheter mitral valve repair using the MitraClipTM system. Methods and Results: We retrospectively analyzed 148 patients with severe mitral regurgitation (MR) who underwent MitraClipTM implantation between April 2018 and April 2021. The preprocedural CONUT scores were assessed at the time of hospitalization, the primary outcome was all-cause death, and the analysis was of the mortality and incidence rates of cardiac events 1 year post-operation. Functional MR was of ischemic origin in the majority of patients (69.6%), with a mean left ventricular ejection fraction of 48.9±15.8%. Kaplan-Meier curves indicated that all-cause death was significantly worse in the high-CONUT score group than in the low-CONUT score group. Cox hazard analysis showed a significant association between all-cause death and CONUT score, as well as MitraScore. Conclusions: Preprocedural CONUT score, as well as MitraScore, in patients undergoing transcatheter edge-to-edge mitral valve repair may predict an increased risk of all-cause death. This knowledge should allow the heart team to accurately assess the clinical implications and prognostic benefits of the procedure in individual patients.

Abstract
Weather conditions influence the incidence of cardiovascular disease. However, few studies have investigated the association between weather temperature and humidity and cerebrovascular disease hospitalizations in a super-aging society. We included 606,807 consecutive patients with cerebrovascular disease admitted to Japanese acute-care hospitals between 2015 and 2019. The primary outcome was the number of cerebrovascular disease hospitalizations per day. Multilevel mixed-effects linear regression models were used to estimate the association of mean temperature and humidity, 1 day before hospital admission, with cerebrovascular disease hospitalizations, after adjusting for air pollution, hospital, and patient demographics. Lower mean temperatures and humidity < 70% or humidity ≧ 70% are associated with an increased incidence of cerebrovascular disease hospitalization (coefficient, - 1.442 [- 1.473 to - 1.411] per °C, p < 0.001, coefficient, - 0.084 [- 0.112 to - 0.056] per%, p < 0.001, and coefficient, 0.136 [0.103 to 0.168] per %, p < 0.001, respectively). Lower mean temperatures and extremely lower or higher humidity are associated with an increased incidence of cerebrovascular disease hospitalization in a super-aging society.

Abstract
Speech-induced atrial tachycardia (AT) with presyncope is extremely rare. A 52-year-old woman employed at a supermarket reported recurrent presyncope while speaking out loud at her job. Holter electrocardiography revealed AT while swallowing without presyncope. The patient's blood pressure decreased during AT, and she experienced presyncope while saying "IRASSHAIMASE" loudly during a tilt table test. Accordingly, bisoprolol 1.25 mg was prescribed, and the patient did not experience episodes of presyncope with recurrence of AT for 2 years. This case suggests that provocation of arrhythmia in the tilting position may be useful for demonstrating a relationship between arrhythmia and presyncope and/or syncope.

Abstract
There have been no studies comparing clinical outcomes of physiology-guided revascularization in patients with unprotected left main coronary disease (ULMD) between percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) vs. coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). The aim of this study was to assess the long-term clinical outcomes between PCI and CABG of patients with physiologically significant ULMD. From an international multicenter registry of ULMD patients interrogated with instantaneous wave-free ratio (iFR), we analyzed data from 151 patients (85 PCI vs. 66 CABG) who underwent revascularization according to the cutoff value of iFR ≤ 0.89. Propensity score matching was employed to adjust for baseline clinical characteristics. The primary endpoint was a composite of all-cause death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, and ischemia-driven target lesion revascularization. The secondary endpoints were the individual components of the primary endpoint. Mean age was 66.6 (± 9.2) years, 79.2% male. Mean SYNTAX score was 22.6 (± 8.4) and median iFR was 0.83 (IQR 0.74-0.87). After performing propensity score matching analysis, 48 patients treated with CABG were matched to those who underwent PCI. At a median follow-up period of 2.8 years, the primary endpoint occurred in 8.3% in PCI group and 20.8% in CABG group, respectively (HR 3.80; 95% CI 1.04-13.9; p = 0.043). There was no difference in each component of the primary event (p > 0.05 for all). Within the present study, iFR-guided PCI was associated with lower cardiovascular events rate in patients with ULMD and intermediate SYNTAX score, as compared to CABG. State-of-the-art PCI vs. CABG for ULMD. Study design and primary endpoint in patients with physiologically significant ULMD. MACE was defined as the composite of all-cause death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, and target lesion revascularization. The blue line denotes the PCI arm, and the red line denotes the CABG arm. PCI was associated with significantly lower risk of MACE than CABG. CABG: coronary artery bypass grafting; iFR: instantaneous wave-free ratio; MACE: major adverse cardiovascular events; PCI: percutaneous coronary intervention; ULMD: unprotected left main coronary artery disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The majority of randomized controlled trials of revascularization decision-making excludes left main coronary artery disease (LMD). Therefore, contemporary clinical outcomes of patients with stable coronary artery disease and LMD with proven ischemia remain poorly understood. The aim of this study was to assess the long-term clinical outcomes of physiologically significant LMD according to the treatment strategies of revascularization versus revascularization deferral. METHODS In this international multicenter registry of stable LMD interrogated with the instantaneous wave-free ratio, patients with physiologically significant ischemia (instantaneous wave-free ratio ≤0.89) were analyzed according to the coronary revascularization (n=151) versus revascularization deferral (n=74). Propensity score matching was performed to adjust for baseline clinical characteristics. The primary end point was a composite of death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, and ischemia-driven target lesion revascularization of left main stem. The secondary end points were as follows: cardiac death or spontaneous LMD-related myocardial infarction; and ischemia-driven target lesion revascularization of left main stem. RESULTS At a median follow-up period of 2.8 years, the primary end point occurred in 11 patients (14.9%) in the revascularized group and 21 patients (28.4%) in the deferred group (hazard ratio, 0.42 [95% CI, 0.20-0.89]; P=0.023). For the secondary end points, cardiac death or LMD-related myocardial infarction occurred significantly less frequently in the revascularized group (0.0% versus 8.1%; P=0.004). The rate of ischemia-driven target lesion revascularization of left main stem was also significantly lower in the revascularized group (5.4% versus 17.6%; hazard ratio, 0.20 [95% CI, 0.056-0.70]; P=0.012). CONCLUSIONS In patients who underwent revascularization for stable coronary artery disease and physiologically significant LMD determined by instantaneous wave-free ratio, the long-term clinical outcomes were significantly improved as compared with those in whom revascularization was deferred.

Abstract
BACKGROUND No consensus exists on the efficacy of home-based cardiac rehabilitation (CR) in patients who have undergone transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). Additionally, there are no reports on home-based cardiac telemonitoring rehabilitation (HBTR) in patients after TAVI. OBJECTIVE We aimed to investigate the efficacy of HBTR in patients who have undergone TAVI. METHODS This single-center preliminary study introduced HBTR to patients after TAVI, and the efficacy outcomes of the rehabilitation method were compared to that of a historical control cohort. The historical control cohort (control group) consisted of 6 consecutive patients who underwent ordinary outpatient CR after TAVI from February 2016 to March 2020. Patients who participated in the HBTR program were only recruited after the TAVI procedure and before discharge between April 2021 and May 2022. In the first 2 weeks after TAVI, patients underwent outpatient CR and were trained using telemonitoring rehabilitation systems. Thereafter, patients underwent HBTR twice a week for 12 weeks. The control group performed standard outpatient CR at least once a week for 12 to 16 weeks. Efficacy was assessed using peak oxygen uptake (VO2) prior to and after CR. RESULTS Eleven patients were included in the HBTR group. All patients underwent 24 HBTR sessions during the 12-week training period, and no adverse events were observed. The control group participants performed 19 (SD 7) sessions during the training period, and no adverse events were observed. Participants in the HBTR and control groups had a mean age of 80.4 (SD 6.0) years and 79.0 (SD 3.9) years, respectively. In the HBTR group, preintervention and postintervention peak VO2 values were 12.0 (SD 1.7) mL/min/kg and 14.3 (SD 2.7) mL/min/kg (P=.03), respectively. The peak VO2 changes in the HBTR and control groups were 2.4 (SD 1.4) mL/min/kg and 1.3 (SD 5.0) mL/min/kg (P=.64), respectively. CONCLUSIONS Home-based CR using a telemonitoring system is a safe outpatient rehabilitation method. Its efficacy is not inferior to that of standard CR in patients who have undergone TAVI.

Abstract
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is endemic worldwide. Cardiovascular disease, particularly myocarditis, is one of the most common comorbidities in patients with COVID-19. However, heart failure due to COVID-19-triggered cardiomyopathy is not well understood. Additionally, "pseudo" heart failure symptoms have been reported in patients with a compensated condition, in which the heart works well enough that symptoms are unnoticeable or very easy to manage. Here, we report a case of heart failure due to cardiomyopathy in a patient with COVID-19 and postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome after heart failure treatment. Learning objective. Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) symptoms after coronavirus disease 2019 may be mistaken for heart failure symptoms; thus, it is essential to suspect POTS when symptoms such as shortness of breath and palpitations are noted upon standing, along with the relevant physical findings.

Abstract
We herein report a 34-year-old man who presented with recurrent palpitations that occurred while swallowing solid food. Holter monitoring revealed atrial tachycardia (AT) while eating. In addition, chest computed tomography (CT) showed a small nodule in the front of the ascending aorta. Thoracoscopic surgery was performed to remove the nodule; a pathological examination revealed that the nodule was a thymic cyst. The AT disappeared postoperatively. This case demonstrates that a mediastinal nodule can cause swallowing-induced AT.

Abstract
BACKGROUND D-dimer levels can predict ischemic stroke in patients with acute heart failure (AHF). However, the effects of direct oral anticoagulants on D-dimer levels have not been investigated during admission for AHF in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). This study examined D-dimer levels immediately after admission and following edoxaban initiation as a sub-analysis of a multi-center study that investigated the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of edoxaban in patients with nonvalvular AF (NVAF) and AHF. METHODS Hospitalized patients with NVAF and AHF received edoxaban according to the label. The primary measure was the change in D-dimer levels on 7 consecutive days after admission for AHF. We also investigated differences according to prior edoxaban use (de novo at the time of admission or continuation). RESULTS In 10/13 (76.9%) de novo patients, D-dimer levels exceeded the reference value (1.0 µg/mL) at admission (mean, 2.12 µg/mL) and subsequently decreased in 9 patients (at final blood sampling: mean, 1.12 µg/mL); 1 patient did not fall below the reference value due to stasis dermatitis. In the continuation group, most patients had D-dimer levels below the reference value from Day 1 (mean, 0.93 µg/mL), and levels remained stable or decreased (at final blood sampling: mean, 0.49 µg/mL). No events of stroke were observed. CONCLUSIONS D-dimer levels may be elevated in patients with NVAF and AHF, particularly in those without prior anticoagulant treatment. Edoxaban may be effective for lowering and keeping D-dimer levels, a biomarker for predicting ischemic stroke, below the reference value in patients with NVAF and AHF.

Abstract
Abstract
Background and objective
Living alone is reported as an independent risk factor for worse clinical outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Manifestations of psychological stress such as depression and anxiety in patients living alone is thought to be associated with subsequent cardiovascular events. The impact of living alone on the psychological factors of patients may be differ depending on their living environment. However, comparison of the effects of living alone in different living environment on the prognosis of patients with ACS has not been reported.
Purpose
The aim of the present study was to compare the clinical effect of living alone on clinical outcomes in patients with ACS between urban area and rural area.
Methods
Data from a multi-center, observational study of consecutive patients who underwent emergency PCI for ACS between January 2012 and December 2016 were analyzed. The primary endpoint was major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE). MACCE was defined as composite of cardiovascular death, ACS, and stroke.
Results
In this study, 1349 patients were enrolled and divided into two population according to their living environment: urban area population (n=417), and rural area population (n=932). In urban area population, 87 patients (20.9%) were living alone, and 330 (79.1%) were living together. In rural area population, 169 (18.1%) were living alone, and 763 (81.9%) were living together. There are no significant differences in baseline characteristics between the living alone group and the living together group in both urban area population and rural area population. During a median follow-up period of 2.1 years, Kaplan-Meier curves showed the living alone group had higher risk of MACCE than the living together group in urban area population (log-rank, p=0.01). On the other hands, there are no significant differences in the incidences of MACCE between two groups in rural area population (p=0.86). After adjustment for other covariates, the living alone was significantly associated with MACCE (hazard ratio [HR], 2.83; 95% confidential interval [CI], 1.16–6.91; p=0.02) compared with the living together group in urban area population. However, in rural area population, the living alone group was not significantly associated with MACCE (HR, 1.02; 95% CI, 0.66–1.57; p=0.92) compared with the living together group.
Conclusion
Living alone was significantly associated with worse clinical outcomes after emergency PCI of ACS in urban area but not in rural area.

Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with metallic coronary stent (bare-metal stents [BMS] and drug-eluting stents [DES]) implantation is most frequently performed therapeutic procedures for coronary artery disease. In-stent restenosis (ISR) is a critical drawback of metallic coronary stents. Incidence of ISR has been reported in up to 30% after BMS implantation. The use of DES has greatly reduced the proportion of restenosis compared with the BMS. However, ISR still remains the primary concern after PCI even in the contemporary DES era, and thought to be associated with worse clinical outcomes. However, comparative data on ISR and de novo lesions are rare.
Purpose
The aim of the present study was to compare the clinical outcomes after PCI for the de novo lesion and the ISR lesion.
Methods
We performed a retrospective analysis of patients who underwent PCI between 2013 and 2020. The incidences of major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) and all-cause death were evaluated. MACCE was defined as composite of cardiovascular death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, and stroke.
Results
In this study, 1538 patients were enrolled and divided into two groups: PCI for de novo lesion group (n=1258, 81.8%), and PCI for ISR lesion group (n=280, 18.2%). Patients in the ISR lesion group were significantly older and had higher prevalence of hypertension, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia and chronic kidney disease than patients in the de novo lesion group. During a median follow-up period of 1.9 years, Kaplan-Meier curves showed no significant differences in the incidences of MACCE (log-rank, p=0.86) and all-cause death (p=0.84) between two groups. After adjustment for other covariates, PCI for ISR lesion were not significantly associated with MACCE (hazard ratio [HR], 1.10; 95% confidential interval [CI], 0.61–1.97; p=0.76) and all-cause death (HR, 0.93; 95% CI, 0.56–1.56; p=0.79)
Conclusion
PCI for the ISR lesion was not associated with worse clinical outcomes compared with PCI for the de novo lesion.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) and intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) are useful imaging modalities to identify lipid-rich plaque (LRP) which is associated with an increased risk of future cardiovascular events in individuals undergoing PCI. Pathological studies have raised concerns that treating LRP with stents may impair vascular healing. However, the impact of stent implantation to LRP lesions was less known. Moreover, little information is available about changes in the extent of LRP at before and after PCI.
Purpose
The aim of this study was to investigate changes in LRP by NIRS between pre- and post-stent implantation, and to evaluate an association among impact of LRP by NIRS at pre- and post-stenting and late lumen loss (LLL) by angiography.
Methods
We studied 175 lesions in 149 patients who underwent PCI under NIRS-IVUS guidance and follow-up angiography at 8-month later from 2017 to 2020. Plaque characteristics on IVUS, the extent of LRP [defined as a long segment with a 4-mm maximum lipid core burden index (maxLCBI4mm)] on NIRS, and quantitative coronary angiography measurements were analyzed. We evaluated a change of the extent of LRP between pre- and post-stenting at index PCI procedure, and association between the extent of LRP and a 8-month LLL at follow-up coronary angiography. A large LRP was defined as maxLCBI4mm>400 at pre-stenting.
Results
Mean age was 64.5 years old, and 123 (82%) patients were male. The prevalence of large LRP was 51% and median plaque burden at minimum lumen area was 81%. The extent of LRP at culprit lesion significantly decreased from pre- to post-stenting (median maxLCBI4mm [interquartile range (IQR)]: 407 [199, 580] to 133 [13, 319], p<0.001) (Figure 1). In multivariable liner regression analysis, independent predictors for the reduction of LRP were a pre-stenting LRP (β coefficient = −57.0, 95% confidence interval (CI) [−65.1 to −48.8], p<0.001) and plaque burden (β coefficient = −30.0, 95% CI [−56.6 to −3.4], p<0.001), respectively. On the other hands, patient comorbidities, lipid profile and inflammatory markers were not associated with the reduction of LRP (all p>0.05). Median LLL at follow-up angiogram was 0.17 [0.07–0.35] mm. Both the extent of pre- and post-stenting LRP were not associated with LLL (r=0.018, p=0.80 and r=0.022, p=0.76, respectively) (Figure 2). In addition, there was no significant difference in LLL between the post-stenting large and non-large LRP (median [IQR] 0.18 [0.08–0.35] vs. 0.17 [0.07–0.35]; P=0.95).
Conclusions
This study showed coronary stent implantation significantly reduced the NIRS-derived LRP in patients undergoing PCI. Although the extent of pre-stenting LRP and IVUS plaque burden predicted the reduction of LRP, the extent of pre- and post-stenting LRP were not associated with LLL. These findings suggest that stent implantation for LRP, even in a large LRP, is safe and does not affect LLL.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Asians have a much lower incidence of adverse coronary events than Caucasians, and the characteristics of vulnerable plaque might be different among the ethnics.
Purpose
The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical characteristics of lipid-rich plaque (LRP) in the Asian population and we also aimed to distinguish the characteristics of an acute coronary syndrome (ACS) culprit lesion and a chronic coronary syndrome (CCS) culprit lesion. Furthermore, we evaluated the association between lipid core burden index (LCBI) and cardiovascular risk factors, lipid profiles, and inflammatory biomarkers, as determined in vivo by near infrared spectroscopy intravascular ultrasound (NIRS-IVUS) imaging in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
Methods
We evaluated 207 patients (ACS, n=75; CCS, n=132) who underwent PCI under NIRS-IVUS. Plaque characteristics and the extent of LRP [defined as a long segment with a 4-mm maximum LCBI (maxLCBI4mm)] on NIRS in de-novo culprit and non-culprit segments were analyzed.
Results
The mean age was 65 years old and 82% of patients were male. The ACS culprit lesions had a significantly higher maxLCBI4mm (median [interquartile range (IQR)]: 533 [385–745] vs. 361 [174–527], p<0.001) than the CCS culprit lesions. Whereas, no significant difference was seen in maxLCBI4mm between ACS and CCS non-culprit lesion segments (246 [53, 342] vs. 185 [37, 350], p=0.47) (Figure 1). Receiver-operating characteristic analysis showed that the NIRS maxLCBI4mm could distinguish the ACS culprit segment from the CCS culprit segment, with a sensitivity of 73% and a specificity of 69% (c-statistic = 0.69; p<0.001, cut-off value of max LCBI4mm = 408) (Figure 2). On multivariate logistic analysis, a large LRP (defined as maxLCBI4mm ≥400) was the strongest independent predictor of the ACS culprit segment (odds ratio, 3.87; 95% confidence interval, 1.95–8.02). In non-culprit segments, 19.8% of patients had at least one large LRP without a small lumen. No significant correlation was found between the extent of LRP and circulating lipid profiles and inflammatory makers biomarkers (hs-CRP, IL-6, TNF-α) in both the culprit and non-culprit lesion segments, whereas the extent of LRP was positively correlated with IVUS plaque burden (r=0.24, p<0.001).
Conclusions
We confirmed that NIRS-IVUS plaque assessment could be useful to differentiate ACS from CCS culprit lesions, and that a threshold maxLCBI4mm ≥400 was clinically suitable in Japanese patients. No systemic surrogate markers were found to be associated with the extent of LRP by NIRS in culprit and non-culprit segments. Consequently, we believe that direct intravascular evaluation of coronary plaque characteristics remains important for identification of high-risk LRP.

Abstract
Preoperative frailty diminishes the potential for functional recovery after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). However, perioperative changes in physical status and their impact on prognosis after TAVI have not previously been reported. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate whether perioperative changes in physical function affect prognosis in patients undergoing TAVI. We retrospectively reviewed 257 patients who underwent TAVI. The Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB), an objective physical status assessment tool, was evaluated pre- and post-TAVI. Patients were divided into two groups: (i) patients whose SPPB score declined in the perioperative period (the decline group) and (ii) patients whose SPPB score did not decline in the perioperative period (the non-decline group). The primary endpoint was unplanned hospitalization owing to heart failure or cardiovascular death following TAVI. The mean follow-up period was 385 ± 151 days, mean age was 83.2 ± 5.8 years, and 67% of the patients were women. Sixteen patients required readmission owing to heart failure, and seven experienced cardiovascular-related death. Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed that the event-free rate was significantly lower in the decline group (log-rank, p = 0.006). A stepwise multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that a perioperative change in SPPB was significantly associated with primary endpoints (odds ratio, 1.51; 95% confidence interval, 1.12-2.04). Perioperative change in physical function was an independent risk factor for heart failure, hospitalization, or cardiovascular death following TAVI.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Physiology-guided treatment strategy improves clinical outcomes of patients with coronary artery disease. However, it has not been fully evaluated whether such guideline-based strategy is useful for patients with diffuse coronary artery disease as well, which is known to be one of the major factors affecting morbidity and mortality.
Purpose
The aim of this study was to clarify clinical outcomes of patients with diffuse coronary artery disease whose treatment strategy was based on coronary physiology.
Methods
From an international multicentre registry of iFR-pullback, consecutive 1067 patients (1185 vessels) with stable angina were included in whom coronary lesions were deferred or revascularized according to the iFR cutoff: 0.89. The physiological pattern of disease was classified according to the iFR-pullback recording as predominantly physiologically diffuse (n=463) or predominantly physiologically focal (n=722). Major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs), defined as a composite of cardiac death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, and ischemia-driven target lesion revascularization during follow-up period, were compared between diffuse and focal groups, in both deferred and revascularized groups, respectively.

Mean age was 67.1±10.7 years and 75.8% of patients were men. Median iFR was 0.88 (interquartile range: 0.80 to 0.92). At a median follow-up period of 18 months, no significant differences in MACEs were found between diffuse and focal groups, in both iFR-based deferred and revascularized groups. In the deferred group (n=480), MACEs occurred in 6.9% patients (15/217) in the diffuse group and 8.0% patients (21/263) in the focal group (p=0.44). In the revascularized group (n=705), MACEs occurred in 8.9% patients (22/246) in the diffuse group and 7.2% patients (33/459) in the focal group (p=0.49).
Conclusions
Despite potentially higher risks in patients with diffuse coronary artery disease, clinical outcomes of those patients were comparable to those of patients without diffuse disease, as long as treatment strategy was based on the physiology guidance, which is globally recommended by international guidelines.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Inflammatory status pre-percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and post-PCI has been reported not only associated with poor prognosis, but also to impair renal function. Statins reduce cardiovascular events by lowering lipids and have anti-inflammatory impacts, but residual inflammatory risk (RIR) exists. It remains unclear that the synergistic effect of RIR and chronic kidney disease (CKD) on long-term clinical outcome in stable coronary artery disease (CAD) patients undergoing PCI in statin era.
Aim
The aim of this study was to investigate the long-term combined impact of RIR evaluating hs-CRP at follow-up and CKD among stable CAD patients undergoing PCI in statin era.
Methods
This is a single-center, observational, retrospective cohort study assessing consecutive 2,984 stable CAD patients who underwent first PCI from 2000 to 2016. We analyzed 2,087 patients for whom hs-CRP at follow-up (6–9 months later) was available. High residual inflammatory risk was defined as hs-CRP >0.6 mg/L according to the median value at follow up. Patients were assigned to four groups as Group1 (high RIR and CKD), Group2 (low RIR and CKD), Group3 (high RIR and non-CKD) or Group4 (low RIR and non-CKD). We evaluated all-cause death and major adverse cardiac events (MACE), defined as a composite of cardiovascular (CV) death, non-fatal myocardial infarction (MI) and non-fatal stroke.
Results
Of patients (83% men; mean age 67 years), there were 299 (14.3%) patients in group 1, 201 (9.6%) patients in group 2, 754 (36.1%) patients in group 3, and 833 (39.9%) patients in group 4. The median follow-up period was 5.2 years (IQR, 1.9–9.9 years). In total, 189 (frequency, 16.1%) cases of all-cause death and 128 (11.2%) MACE were identified during follow-up, including 53 (4.6%) CV deaths, 27 (2.4%) MIs and 52 (4.8%) strokes. The rate of all-cause death and MACE in group 1 was significantly higher than other groups (p<0.001, respectively). There was a stepwise increase in the incidence rates of all-cause death and MACE. After adjustment for important covariates, the presence of high RIR and/or CKD were independently associated with higher incidence of MACE and higher all-cause mortality. (shown on figure).
Conclusion
The presence of both high RIR and CKD conferred a synergistic adverse effect on the risk for long-term adverse cardiac events in patients undergoing PCI.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Obesity has the adverse prognostic impact in the general population, whereas paradoxical effect of obesity has been reported in patients with heart failure. Several studies have suggested the same obesity paradox in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), however, they included limited number of underweight patients.
Purpose
The aim of this study was to clarify the effect of underweight on outcome following TAVI.
Methods
We retrospectively analyzed consecutive 1,027 patients undergoing TAVI between April 2010 and June 2019. The patients were categorized according to body mass index (BMI) as follows: underweight (<18.5 kg/m2, n=150), normal weight (18.5 to 25 kg/m2, n=657), and overweight (>25 kg/m2, n=220). BMI was defined as body weight (kg) divided by the square of body height (m) measured at the hospital admission. We compared the short- and mid-term outcome after TAVI among three groups, and all clinical events were accordance with Valve Academic Research Consortium-2 criteria.
Results
Underweight patients were more often female, and had a higher prevalence of hypertension, dyslipidemia, peripheral artery disease, anemia, and hypoalbuminemia. They also presented lower ejection fraction, smaller aortic valve area, and higher surgical risk score. In procedural findings, device unsuccess and major vascular complication more occurred in underweight patients, but 30-day mortality was equivalent among three groups. The mid-term survival of the underweight was inferior to the other two groups (figure).In the multivariate analysis, female (hazard ratio [HR] 0.52, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.37–0.73, P=0.0002), atrial fibrillation (HR 2.22, 95% CI 1.56–3.17, P<0.0001), albumin value (HR 0.37 per 1-g/dl increase, 95% CI 0.25–0.55, P<0.0001), Society of Thoracic Surgeons score (HR 1.06 per 1% increase, 95% CI 1.02–1.06, P=0.0039), 30-day combined endpoint (HR 2.12, 95% CI 1.33–3.38, P=0.0017), and underweight (HR 1.59, 95% CI 1.04–2.37, P=0.026) were associated with the survival after TAVI.
Conclusion
The underweight had a worse mid-term prognosis, representing the obesity paradox in the TAVI population.

Abstract
Background Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) can be life-saving in cases of coronavirus disease (COVID-19); however, circuit thrombosis is a complication. This report describes a COVID-19 patient treated with nafamostat and heparin to prevent circuit thrombosis during ECMO support. Case presentation A 63-year-old man was transferred to our hospital with respiratory failure due to COVID-19 pneumonia. He was provided venous-venous ECMO to maintain oxygenation. During ECMO support, occlusive circuit thrombosis developed despite systemic anticoagulation therapy with heparin. He was subsequently administered combination therapy with nafamostat and heparin. Although the combination therapy could prevent circuit thrombosis, it was converted to heparin monotherapy because of hyperkalemia and hemothorax. After tracheostomy and a gradual improvement in oxygenation, ECMO was discontinued. He was transferred to another hospital for further rehabilitation. Conclusion Combination therapy with nafamostat and heparin can prevent circuit thrombosis during ECMO. However, bleeding can still develop with this combination therapy during ECMO.

Abstract
Aims Older adults at risk for malnutrition are known to have a high mortality rate. This study aimed to investigate whether the Mini Nutritional Assessment—Short Form (MNA‐SF) could predict midterm mortality in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). Methods and results We applied the MNA‐SF in 288 patients who had undergone TAVI from January 2016 to June 2019 at the St. Marianna University School of Medicine hospital. Using the MNA‐SF cut‐off value to indicate the risk of malnutrition, patients were divided into two groups, namely, those with an MNA‐SF score ≤11 (impaired MNA‐SF group) and those with an MNA‐SF score ≥12 (maintained MNA‐SF group). We used this value to investigate the association between the MNA‐SF and all‐cause mortality. Overall, 188 (65%) and 100 (35%) patients comprised the impaired MNA‐SF and maintained MNA‐SF groups, respectively, and 41 patients died after TAVI (mean follow‐up duration, 458 ± 315 days). Kaplan–Meier analyses showed that patients in the impaired MNA‐SF group had a significantly higher incidence of all‐cause mortality (hazard ratio 2.67; 95% confidence interval 1.29–6.21; P = 0.01). Multivariate Cox regression analyses showed that the MNA‐SF score was an independent predictor of all‐cause mortality after adjusting for the Society of Thoracic Surgeons risk score, Katz Index, and brain natriuretic peptide test results (hazard ratio 1.14; 95% confidence interval 1.01–1.28; P = 0.04). Conclusions The MNA‐SF was useful to screen for the risk of malnutrition in patients with TAVI and in predicting midterm prognoses in patients undergoing TAVI and could predict patient mortality after the procedure.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
In Japan, public health nurses provide home visitation with pregnant women who are at high risk for child maltreatment, but its effectiveness in preventing child maltreatment has not been evaluated because contents and quality of home visitation vary from municipality to municipality. This study aims to evaluate whether the tablet app developed to standardize and assist perinatal home visitation by public health nurses is effective in preventing child maltreatment.
Methods
An intervention study was conducted in 2018 in Adachi City, Tokyo, Japan. Public health nurses at two public health centers used the tablet app when they support high-risk pregnant women through home visitation and interviews, while public health nurses at the other three public health centers provided support as in the past. Because two public health centers were different in usage of the app, the treatment group was further divided into two groups: active and inactive. As fatal abuse among infants, frequency of shaking and smothering was assessed as an outcome through a self-reported questionnaire at the 4-month health check, and compared between the active treatment group, inactive treatment group, and control group, using multiple logistic regression (N = 5,651).
Results
Prevalence of infant abuse was 0.82% in the active treatment group, 1.34% in the inactive treatment group, and 1.50% in the control group. When adjusted for parental demographics and parenting situations, mothers in the active treatment group were less likely to shake or smother their baby than those in the control group (Odds ratio: 0.51, p = 0.093).
Conclusions
It possibly suggests that the tablet app developed to assist perinatal home visitation by public health nurses was effective in preventing infant abuse.
Key messages
An intervention study was conducted at public health centers in Adachi City, Tokyo, Japan, using the tablet app developed to standardize and assist perinatal home visitation by public health nurses. The finding suggested that the tablet app may be effective in preventing shaking and smothering among 4-month old infants.

Abstract
Abstract
Backgrounds
Dental caries is still a worldwide serious problem among children. Previous studies showed that higher consumption of vegetables prevents dental caries. Eating order habits, such as eating vegetables at the beginning of a meal, called “Vege-first”, may increase the amount of vegetable consumption, and in turn, prevent dental caries. We used cross-sectional data in our previous study to show the association between “Vege-first” and dental caries. However, the causal relationship of “Vege-first” on dental caries is not clear. The aim of this study to investigate the effect of “Vege-first” on dental caries, using cohort data of Japanese elementary students.
Methods
We used cohort data from 2015 to 2016 by the Adachi Child Health Impact of Living Difficulty (A-CHILD) study, a population-based study of all first- and Second- grade students in Adachi City, Tokyo, Japan. The number of DMFT (decayed, missed due to decay, and filled teeth) in 2016 was used as an outcome. Poisson regression analyses were applied to determine the independent association between keeping the “Vege-first” habit over one year and the number of DMFT in 2016 after controlling for the effects of a child's sex, parental marital status, socioeconomic status, and child's dental caries status in 2015.
Results
Of 3,164 valid participants, 45.0% had dental caries and 6.3% kept the “Vege-first” habit. Children who kept the “Vege-first” habit had fewer DMFTs in 2016 than children who did not (p < 0.001). After controlled for covariates, children with having a continuous “Vege-first” habit were still significantly and independently decreased the number of DMFT in 2016 (Incidence-rate ratios=0.87 (95% confidential interval [0.75-0.98])).
Conclusions
This study showed that having the continuous “Vege-first” habit was associated with preventive dental caries even after accounting for socioeconomic status. Health policy introducing the “Vege-first” habit may be effective to prevent pediatric dental caries.
Key messages
The practice of eating vegetables at the beginning of a meal, called “Vege-first” may increase vegetable consumption and reduce dental caries. The continuous habit of 'Vege-first' was effective in preventing a child’s dental caries even if after accounting for socioeconomic status.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Perception of and reactive behaviors towards infant crying is one of the modifiable risk factors for postpartum depression. The aim of this study was to examine the impact of watching an educational video on infant crying within 1 week of age after delivery at maternity wards to reduce the prevalence of postpartum depressive symptoms at 1 month after giving birth.
Methods
Study design was a cluster randomized controlled trial (UMIN000015558). The intervention hospitals were randomly assigned, stratified by area and function of the hospital. Participants included 47 obstetrics hospitals or clinics out of 150 hospitals or clinics in Osaka Prefecture, Japan. In total, 44 hospitals or clinics completed the trial and 2,601 (intervention group=1,040, control group=1,561) caregivers responded to the questionnaire on postpartum depression. Mothers in the intervention group watched a 11-minute educational video, within 1 week of age, during hospitalization at maternity wards. Primary outcome in this study was postpartum depression assessed by the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale as 9+, and assessed via questionnaire at a 1-month health checkup.
Results
In the intervention group, 142 (13.7%) mothers reported postpartum depression compared to 250 (16.0%) in the control group. Intention-to-treat analysis showed no significant difference in the prevalence of postpartum depression between the groups. However, among young mothers (<25 years old), the analysis showed a 67% reduction in postpartum depression (OR:0.33, 95%CI:0.15-0.72).
Conclusions
Watching an educational video on infant crying did not reduce postpartum depression at 1 month after giving birth, but it was effective for young mothers aged less than 25 years old. It may be easier to introduce our approach to any opportunity for meeting mothers during perinatal period because it does not require specialized manpower and a significant amount of time for the intervention.
Key messages
The educational video on infant crying, “Baby Doesn't Stop Crying,” had no effect in preventing postpartum depressive symptoms. Among young mothers aged <25 years, the educational video had a protective effect on postpartum depressive symptoms, which was not observed for mothers aged ≥25 years.

Abstract
Objectives The aim of this study was to investigate whether algorithmic interpretation (AI) of instantaneous wave-free ratio (iFR) pressure-wire pull back data would be noninferior to expert human interpretation. Background Interpretation of iFR pressure-wire pull back data can be complex and is subjective. Methods Fifteen human experts interpreted 1,008 iFR pull back traces (691 unique, 317 duplicate). For each trace, experts determined the hemodynamic appropriateness for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and, in such cases, the optimal physiological strategy for PCI. The heart team (HT) interpretation was determined by consensus of the individual expert opinions. The same 1,008 pull back traces were also interpreted algorithmically. The coprimary hypotheses of this study were that AI would be noninferior to the interpretation of the median expert human in determining: 1) the hemodynamic appropriateness for PCI; and 2) the physiological strategy for PCI. Results Regarding the hemodynamic appropriateness for PCI, the median expert human demonstrated 89.3% agreement with the HT in comparison with 89.4% for AI (p < 0.01 for noninferiority). Across the 372 cases judged as hemodynamically appropriate for PCI according to the HT, the median expert human demonstrated 88.8% agreement with the HT in comparison with 89.7% for AI (p < 0.0001 for noninferiority). On reproducibility testing, the HT opinion itself changed 1 in 10 times for both the appropriateness for PCI and the physiological PCI strategy. In contrast, AI showed no change. Conclusions AI of iFR pressure-wire pull back data was noninferior to expert human interpretation in determining both the hemodynamic appropriateness for PCI and the optimal physiological strategy for PCI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The per-vessel level impact of physiological pattern of disease on the discordance between fractional flow reserve (FFR) and instantaneous wave-free ratio (iFR) has not been clarified.Methods and Results:Using the AJIP registry, vessels with FFR/iFR discordance (133/671 [19.8%]) were analyzed. In the left anterior descending artery (LAD), physiologically diffuse disease, as assessed by pressure-wire pullback, was associated with FFR-/iFR+ (83.3% [40/48]), while physiologically focal disease was associated with FFR+/iFR- (57.4% [31/54]), significantly (P<0.0001). These differences were not significant in non-LAD (P=0.17). CONCLUSIONS The impact of physiological pattern of disease on FFR/iFR discordance is more pronounced in the LAD.

Abstract
The physiological pattern of coronary artery disease as determined by pressure-wire (PW)-pullback is important for decision-making of revascularization and risk stratification of patients. However, it remains unclear whether inter-observer differences in interpreting PW-pullback data are subject to the expertise of physicians. This study sought to investigate the subjectivity of this assessment among non-experts. Expert interventional cardiologists classified 545 PW-pullback traces into physiologically focal or physiologically diffuse disease pattern. Defining expert-consensus as the reference standard, we evaluated ten non-expert doctors' classification performance. Observers were stratified equally by two ways: (i) years of experience as interventional cardiologists (middle-level vs. junior-level) and (ii) volume of institutions where they belonged to (high-volume center vs. low-volume center). When judged against the expert-consensus, the agreement of non-expert observers in assessing physiological pattern of disease (focal or diffuse) ranged from 69.1 to 85.0% (p for heterogeneity < 0.0001). There was no evidence for a moderating effect of years of experience; the pooled accuracy of middle-level doctors was 78.8% (95% confidential interval [CI] 72.8-84.7%) vs. 79.1% for junior-level doctors (95% CI 75.9-82.2%, p = 0.95 for difference). On the other hand, we observed a significant moderating effect of center volume. Accuracy across non-experts in high-volume centers was 82.7% (95% CI 80.3-85.1%) vs. 75.1% for low-volume centers (95% CI 71.9-78.3%, p = 0.0002 for difference). Interpretation of PW-pullback by non-expert interventional cardiologists was considerably subjective.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Fractional flow reserve (FFR) and instantaneous wave-free ratio (iFR) disagree on the hemodynamic significance of a coronary lesion in ≈20% of cases. It is unknown whether the physiological pattern of disease is an influencing factor for this. This study assessed whether the physiological pattern of coronary artery disease influences discordance between FFR and iFR measurement. METHODS AND RESULTS Three-hundred and sixty intermediate coronary lesions (345 patients; mean age, 64.4±10.3 years; 76% men) with combined FFR, iFR, and iFR pressure-wire pullback were included for analysis from an international multicenter registry. Cut points for hemodynamic significance were FFR ≤0.80 and iFR ≤0.89, respectively. Lesions were classified into FFR+/iFR+ (n=154; 42.7%), FFR-/iFR+ (n=38; 10.6%), FFR+/iFR- (n=41; 11.4%), and FFR-/iFR- (n=127; 35.3%) groups. The physiological pattern of disease was classified according to the iFR pullback recordings as predominantly physiologically focal (n=171; 47.5%) or predominantly physiologically diffuse (n=189; 52.5%). Median FFR and iFR were 0.80 (interquartile range, 0.75-0.85) and 0.89 (interquartile range, 0.86-0.92), respectively. FFR disagreed with iFR in 22% (79 of 360). The physiological pattern of disease was the only influencing factor relating to FFR/iFR discordance: predominantly physiologically focal was significantly associated with FFR+/iFR- (58.5% [24 of 41]), and predominantly physiologically diffuse was significantly associated with FFR-/iFR+ (81.6% [31 of 38]; P<0.001 for pattern of disease between FFR+/iFR- and FFR-/iFR+ groups). CONCLUSIONS The physiological pattern of coronary artery disease was an important influencing factor for FFR/iFR discordance.

Abstract
The heart failure (HF) guidelines recommend palliative care; however, it can often be difficult to determine the timing of palliative care referral. Because HF with fluid retention and low-cardiac output may trigger several unpleasant symptoms, continuous HF treatment is required to alleviate these symptoms in advanced HF. The patients with HF often suffer from total pain; therefore, the support from a multidisciplinary team plays a crucial role to improve quality of life of the patients and their families not only in the terminal phase but also from the early stage.

Abstract
BACKGROUND While several complications related to pressure-wire (PW) have been reported, mechanistic justification has not always been offered. Furthermore, interference between a PW and a protruding side-branch stent has not been previously reported. The purpose of this study was to evaluate interference between PW-pullback from a main-branch with a protruded ostial stent deployed in a side-branch. METHODS In a polyurethane bifurcation vessel model, PW-pullback was performed in a main-branch following protruded ostial stenting in a side-branch. Tested PWs included PressureWire X, Comet, OptoWire, and Verrata. For each PW, pullback was performed through the same proximal cell of the protruded stent 20 times. Interference during PW-pullback was objectively analyzed with a fiberscope placed at the distal main-branch and classified into 3 grades according to the interaction with stent strut. RESULTS There were significant differences in the rate of interference between the PWs. No-interference, interference without strut traction, and interference with strut traction (i.e. stent deformation) were observed as follows: 17/20, 3/20, and 0/20 in PressureWire X; 19/20, 1/20, and 0/20 in Comet; 8/20, 10/20, and 2/20 in OptoWire; and 13/20, 2/20, and 5/20 in Verrata, respectively (p for any differences: <0.001). Visually identifiable major stent deformation was observed once in OptoWire due to the deep concave sensor window and twice in Verrata due to the proximal gap between the sensor and coiled-wire. CONCLUSIONS PW-pullback in the main-branch after side-branch ostial stenting should be carefully performed to avoid stent deformation. Consideration on the specific mechanical features of the PW is also essential.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Dental caries is still serious problem among Japanese children. Previous studies suggested that higher consumption of vegetables prevent dental caries. Eating order habit, such as eating vegetables at start of meal, called “Vege-first”, may increase the amount of vegetable consumption, and in turn, prevent dental caries. However, no published studies have examined the impact of “Vege-first” habit on dental caries. The aim of this study to investigate the association between “Vege-first” and dental caries among Japanese children.
Methods
We used the 2015 cross-sectional data from the Adachi Child Health Impact of Living Difficulty (A-CHILD) study, a population-based study of all first-grade students in Adachi City, Tokyo, Japan. The number of DMFT (decayed, missed due to decay, and filled teeth) was used as an outcome. Poisson regression analyses were applied to determine the independent association between “Vege-first” habit and the number of DMFT after controlling for the effects from child’s sex, parents’ marital status, socioeconomic status, and frequency of tooth brushing, drinking sweet beverages, and snacking.
Results
Of 3,689 valid Japanese children participants, 38.2% had DMFT and 11.6% were having the “Vege-first” habit. The number of DMFT decreased linearly with “Vege-first” habit (p < 0.001). After controlled for covariates, the number of DMFT was still significantly and independently decreased with “Vege-first” habit (prevalence ratio=0.89 (95% confidential interval [0.81-0.98])).
Conclusions
This study showed that having the “Vege-first” habit was associated with dental caries even accounting for socioeconomic status, dental health behavior, and dietary habits. Health policy introducing “Vege-first” habit may be effective to prevent pediatric dental caries.
Key messages
Eating habit which vegetables at start of meal called “Vege-first” may increase the amount of vegetable consumption and possibly reduce dental caries. The habituation of Vege-first was likely to reduce child’s dental caries even accounting for socioeconomic status, dental health behavior and dietary habits.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Suicide among postpartum women is a new and emerging issue in developed countries. However, little is known about the combined effect of risk factors on self-harm ideation, although various risk factors have been found. The aim of this study is to examine the combined effect of maternal adverse childhood experiences and maternal age on self-harm ideation among postpartum women.
Methods
The study comprised a cross-sectional study of 8,074 mothers participating in a 3-month health checkup between September 2013 and August 2014 in City A, Prefecture A, Japan. Main outcome was self-harm ideation assessed using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS), item 10. Possible risk factors were maternal adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), maternal characteristics, relationship with husband/partner (e.g., feelings when pregnancy was confirmed), household characteristics, child characteristics (e.g., age, sex, birth weight), and postpartum characteristics, and postpartum depression status other than self-harm ideation.
Results
Postpartum women with 3 or more ACEs and younger age (<25 years old) were 10.3 times more likely than those with no ACEs and older age to have self-harm ideation (95%CI=5.3-20.2). This combined effect was also found in first-time mothers (OR = 7.6, 95%CI=3.2-17.9).
Conclusions
Postpartum women with 3 or more ACEs and who were younger than 25 years old were at a high risk for self-harm ideation. Providing prevention strategies aimed at mothers with multiple risk factors, especially younger age and ACEs, is warranted.
Key messages
Mothers with 3 or more ACEs and younger age had a high self-harm ideation risk. Providing prevention strategies for mothers with multiple risk factors is warranted.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Inflammation in atrial tissue underlies structural remodeling of left atrium, which is a hallmark of atrial fibrillation (AF). Activated monocytes mediate inflammation; however, the role of monocytes in AF pathogenesis has not been extensively examined. In this study, we thus investigated the association between structural remodeling of left atrium, represented by left atrial dimension (LAD), and characteristics of peripheral monocytes in patients with AF.
Methods
Blood samples were collected from patients undergone catheter ablation between July 2017 and October 2018, including AF patients (n=152) and paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT) patients, which serves as a control non-AF group (n=22). AF patients were further divided into two groups by the median of LAD (normal LAD group: LAD <40 mm, n=77, large LAD group: LAD ≥40 mm, n=75). Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were isolated to analyze monocyte subsets by flow cytometry. In a subset of patients, we further isolated monocytes from PBMC by using magnetic bead-based negative selection method then gene products associated with inflammation or monocyte functions were evaluated. We also examined migratory activity of monocytes toward monocyte chemotactic protein-1, a ligand for CC chemokine receptor 2 (CCR2), using a modified Boyden chamber method. Finally, we performed immunofluorescence staining of monocytes and macrophages in left atrial appendages resected from patients underwent coronary bypass graft surgery (CABG) complicated by AF.
Results
There were no differences in age, body mass index and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein levels among three groups, including non-AF, normal LAD and large LAD groups, except that more female subjects were included in non-AF group. We found that proportions of classical CD14++CD16- and nonclassical CD14+CD16++ monocytes were higher (non-AF: 71.2±7.3% vs. AF: 75.5±8.3%, p<0.05) and lower (non-AF: 16.4±5.9% vs. AF: 13.2±5.5%, p<0.05), respectively, in all AF patients compared with those in non-AF group, while no significant difference was observed between normal and large LAD groups. In monocytes from large LAD group, mRNA levels of CCR2, a receptor to mediate monocyte chemotaxis, were significantly higher compared to those in normal LAD group (Figure A, p<0.05). Furthermore, monocytes isolated from large LAD group exhibited higher migratory capacity compared to normal LAD group (Figure B, p<0.01). Finally, higher monocyte/macrophage infiltrations to left atrial appendages were implicated in patients with large LAD, shown by immunofluorescence staining.
Conclusions
Monocytes in AF patients with enlarged left atrium expressed higher CCR2 mRNA and were more active in chemotaxis to MCP-1, suggesting the proactive roles of activated monocytes in the pathogenesis of arterial remolding in AF.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Restrictive cardiomyopathy (RCM) is a rare myocardial disease with an impaired diastolic function and poor prognosis. The mean survival duration after a diagnosis of RCM is reported to be around 2 years in children and most need heart transplantations.
Purpose
This study aimed to determine the 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) diagnostic criteria of RCM based on the initial diagnostic electrocardiogram.
Methods
ECGs in pediatric cardiomyopathy patients were collected from 15 institutes in Japan between 1979 and 2013. We compared the ECG findings, especially of the P wave, in RCM patients between the cardiomyopathy group and healthy children group separately for each gender and the age. The ECGs in the healthy group were obtained from school heart screening in Japan of first-graders, and seventh-graders. Statistical significance was determined as p<0.001.
Results
Among 376 registered cardiomyopathy patients, 63 had hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) (36%), 91 (24%) dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), 106 (28%) a left ventricular myocardial noncompaction (LVNCs), 25 (7%) restrictive cardiomyopathy (RCM), 14 (4%) arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC), and 5 (1%) other cardiomyopathies. Of the 25 RCM patients (9.9±3.4 years old, F:M=11:14), 36% were discovered during school heart screening. The first onset was an abnormal ECG in 9, symptoms of heart failure in 6, respiratory tract infections in 3, syncope in 1, and 6 with other. Of those patients, 2 (8%) had a family history of RCM, 24 (92%) no family history. A genetic diagnosis was performed in 5 of the 25 cases, and 3 had genetic abnormalities related to RCM. The mean follow-up period was 65±95 months (mean±standard deviation). During follow up, 19 patients (76%) survived, 6 (24%) died, 7 (28%) had heart transplantations, and 3 (12%) were waiting for heart transplantations with a left ventricular assist device.
The P wave was bimodal in lead I or biphasic in lead V1 in 15 patients (93%), and 13 (81%) patients had both variations. We evaluated the duration and amplitude of the first and second component of the P wave as P1 and P2. The number of control and RCM patients (control/RCM), duration of P1+P2, and sum total absolute value of the amplitude of P1+P2 in lead V1 were 8350/5, 90±9/116±10ms, and 72±28/528±278μV in first grade boys, 8423/3, 91±10/120±22ms, and 66±28/326±229μV in first grade girls, 8943/1, 97±1/100ms, and 71±31/328μV in seventh grade boys, and 9183/5, 98±11/112±10ms, and 55±27/315±56μV in seventh grade girls. Although the number of patients in the RCM group was small, sum total absolute value of the amplitude of P1+P2 in lead V1 showed a significant difference in any group.
Conclusion
The ECG in children with RCM exhibits P wave abnormalities in almost all patients. In particular, not the P wave interval but P wave shape in I and V1 and the sum total absolute value of the amplitude of P1+P2 in lead V1 were observed differences.

Abstract
We report a case of successful percutaneous retrieval of an unexpectedly disrupted balloon catheter using GuideLiner and a low-profile balloon. The procedure and the mechanism of this novel technique were described in detail with ex-vivo testing. This case demonstrated the utility of the combination of GuideLiner and low-profile balloon as a bail-out for intravascular foreign body.
