Article Synopsis
- * The COMMAND VTE Registry-2 study tracked 5,197 patients with venous thromboembolism in Japan, finding that 2.3% of those with acute PE developed CTEPH over an average follow-up of 747 days.
- * Identified risk factors for developing CTEPH included being female, longer time from symptom onset to PE diagnosis, experiencing hypoxemia, having right heart load, lower D-dimer levels, and having
Article Synopsis
- The simplified Pulmonary Embolism Severity Index (sPESI) score helps identify low-risk patients for home treatment of pulmonary embolism, but its use with direct oral anticoagulants hasn't been thoroughly studied.
- A study of 2,496 patients with stable pulmonary embolism found that only 25% had an sPESI score of 0, and among those, only 17% were treated at home, though their 30-day mortality was notably low (0% vs. 4.8% in higher risk groups).
- Factors promoting home treatment included the absence of temporary risk factors, no elevated cardiac biomarkers, and the use of direct oral anticoagulants during the acute phase.
Article Synopsis
- A study in Japan compared outcomes of patients with venous thromboembolism (VTE) treated with warfarin (2010-2014) versus direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) (2015-2020) from two multicenter registries.
- The use of DOACs skyrocketed from 2.6% in the warfarin era to 79% in the DOAC era, leading to a significant reduction in the 5-year recurrence rate of VTE (10.5% to 9.5%).
- However, the incidence of major bleeding remained similar between the two eras, indicating that while DOACs may reduce VTE recurrence, concerns about bleeding risks continue.

Article Synopsis
- Results showed a significant correlation between high P4NP 7S levels and increased risk of cardiovascular death or HF hospitalization, especially among those with high PVP.
- The findings suggest that measuring both PVP and P4NP 7S can help assess organ injury due to congestion and improve prognosis for patients suffering from acute HF.
Background It remains controversial whether long-term clinical impact of newly diagnosed atrial fibrillation (AF) in the acute phase of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is different from that of prior AF diagnosed before the onset of AMI. Methods and Results The current study population from the CREDO-Kyoto AMI (Coronary Revascularization Demonstrating Outcome Study in Kyoto Acute Myocardial Infarction) Registry Wave-2 consisted of 6228 patients with AMI who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention. The baseline characteristics and long-term clinical outcomes were compared according to AF status (newly diagnosed AF: N=489 [7.

Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated how heart failure affects long-term outcomes after two types of heart surgery: percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).
- Among 3,380 patients with significant coronary artery disease, those with heart failure showed a higher mortality risk after PCI compared to CABG, highlighting the importance of heart failure status in surgical decision-making.
- The findings suggest that patients with heart failure may have worse outcomes with PCI, while patients without heart failure have similar risks from both procedures.
Background It remains unclear whether beta-blocker use at hospital admission is associated with better in-hospital outcomes in patients with acute decompensated heart failure. Methods and Results We evaluated the factors independently associated with beta-blocker use at admission, and the effect of beta-blocker use at admission on in-hospital mortality in 3817 patients with acute decompensated heart failure enrolled in the Kyoto Congestive Heart Failure registry. There were 1512 patients (39.

We aimed to assess the clinical impact of baseline hemoglobin on long-term ischemic and bleeding risk after percutaneous coronary intervention. Methods and Results Using the pooled individual patient-level data from the 3 percutaneous coronary intervention studies, we categorized 19 288 patients into 4 groups: high-normal hemoglobin (≥14.

We sought to explore the prognostic impact of AVA in asymptomatic patients with severe AS in a large observational database. Methods and Results Among 3815 consecutive patients with severe AS enrolled in the CURRENT AS (Contemporary Outcomes After Surgery and Medical Treatment in Patients With Severe Aortic Stenosis) registry, the present study included 1309 conservatively managed asymptomatic patients with left ventricular ejection fraction ≥50%.
