Changes in systolic blood pressure during hospitalisation and bleeding events after percutaneous coronary intervention.

Background: Hypertension is a risk factor for bleeding events and is included in the HAS-BLED (Hypertension, Abnormal renal/liver function, Stroke, Bleeding history or predisposition, Labile INR, Elderly, Drugs/Alcohol concomitantly)score. However, the effects of blood pressure (BP) and changes in BP on bleeding events in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) remain poorly understood. This study is aimed to investigate the relationship between systolic BP (SBP) changes during hospitalisation and bleeding events in patients undergoing PCI.

Achievement of guideline-recommended target blood pressure is associated with reducing the risk of hemorrhagic and ischemic stroke in Japanese coronary artery disease patients -the CLIDAS study.

The Japanese Society of Hypertension have established a blood pressure (BP) target of 130/80 mmHg for patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). We evaluated the data of 8793 CAD patients in the Clinical Deep Data Accumulation System database who underwent cardiac catheterization at six university hospitals and the National Cerebral and Cardiovascular Center (average age 70 ± 11 years, 78% male, 43% with acute coronary syndrome [ACS]). Patients were divided into two groups based on whether or not they achieved the guideline-recommended BP of <130/80 mmHg.

Change in pulse pressure and cardiovascular outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention: The CLIDAS study.

Background: Limited data exist on the prognostic value of changes in pulse pressure (PP, the difference between systolic and diastolic blood pressure) during hospitalization for patients with coronary artery disease who have undergone percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

Methods: In the Clinical Deep Data Accumulation System (CLIDAS), we studied 8,708 patients who underwent PCI. We aimed to examine the association between discharge PP and cardiovascular outcomes.

BNP level predicts bleeding event in patients with heart failure after percutaneous coronary intervention.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the association between heart failure (HF) severity measured based on brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels and future bleeding events after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

Background: The Academic Research Consortium for High Bleeding Risk presents a bleeding risk assessment for antithrombotic therapy in patients after PCI. HF is a risk factor for bleeding in Japanese patients.

Impact of heart failure severity and major bleeding events after percutaneous coronary intervention on subsequent major adverse cardiac events.

Background: Heart failure (HF) is associated with a high bleeding risk after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Additionally, major bleeding events increase the risk of subsequent major adverse cardiac events (MACE). However, whether brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels and major bleeding events following PCI are associated with MACE and all-cause death remains unknown.

Sex Differences in Long-Term Outcomes in Patients With Chronic Coronary Syndrome After Percutaneous Coronary Intervention - Insights From a Japanese Real-World Database Using a Storage System.

Background: Several studies have reported some sex differences in patients with coronary artery diseases. However, the results regarding long-term outcomes in patients with chronic coronary syndrome (CCS) are inconsistent. Therefore, the present study investigated sex differences in long-term outcomes in patients with CCS after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

Hyperuricemia predicts increased cardiovascular events in patients with chronic coronary syndrome after percutaneous coronary intervention: A nationwide cohort study from Japan.

Background: The causal relationship between hyperuricemia and cardiovascular diseases is still unknown. We hypothesized that hyperuricemic patients after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) had a higher risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE).

Methods: This was a large-scale multicenter cohort study.

Relationships Among Heart Rate, β-Blocker Dosage, and Prognosis in Patients With Coronary Artery Disease in a Real-World Database Using a Multimodal Data Acquisition System.

Background: The optimal heart rate (HR) and optimal dose of β-blockers (BBs) in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) have been unclear. We sought to clarify the relationships among HR, BB dose, and prognosis in patients with CAD using a multimodal data acquisition system.

Methods and results: We evaluated the data for 8,744 CAD patients who underwent cardiac catheterization from 6 university hospitals and the National Cerebral and Cardiovascular Center and who were registered using the Clinical Deep Data Accumulation System.

Clinical Characteristics of Heart Failure from Case Reports Presented at the Regional Meeting of the Japanese Society of Internal Medicine.

Objective To examine case reports presented at the Regional Meeting of the Japanese Society of Internal Medicine in order to clarify the underlying disease and prognosis of heart failure, which is often caused by non-cardiovascular diseases. Methods We examined 49,693 case reports from the Japanese Society of Internal Medicine database. A total of 2,893 reports were included after excluding 46,022 reports that did not include the term "heart failure" and 778 reports with no indications of symptoms of heart failure.
