Article Synopsis
- The Japanese Catheter Ablation (J-AB) registry, launched in August 2017, is a nationwide voluntary study led by the Japanese Heart Rhythm Society focused on collecting data about catheter ablation procedures.
- In January 2022, the registry's data collection system shifted from REDCap to the Fountayn system to improve data management.
- By the end of 2022, the registry compiled data from 90,042 procedures across 614 hospitals, highlighting the types of arrhythmias, outcomes, and complications, with participants averaging 66.7 years old and 65.9% being male.
Background: Periesophageal vagal nerve injury (PNI) is an unpredictable and serious complication of atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation. We aimed to identify the factors associated with symptomatic PNI.
Methods: This study included 1391 patients who underwent ablation index-guided pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) using the CARTO system.
Article Synopsis
- A study analyzed the outcomes of 369 patients who underwent transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) from 2014 to 2021 based on their preoperative aortic stenosis (AS) symptoms, which included asymptomatic, chest pain, heart failure (HF), and syncope.
- The overall survival rates at 1 and 5 years post-TAVR varied across the groups, with asymptomatic patients having the highest survival rates, while those presenting with syncope or heart failure had poorer outcomes.
- Notably, preoperative syncope emerged as a strong predictor of increased risk for heart failure readmission or cardiac death following TAVR, indicating that symptom presentation significantly influences post-operative results in AS
We present an atypical response to single atrial premature depolarization (APD) in a long RP' tachycardia. APD advanced the His-bundle potential immediately after it and resulted in a VA block; however, tachycardia persisted and consequently exhibited an A-V-V-A response. We propose the mechanism for an A-V-V-A response to APD in a long RP' tachycardia.

The purpose of this registry is to collect the details of target arrhythmias, the ablation procedures, including the type of target arrhythmias, outcomes, and acute complications in the real-world settings. During the year of 2021, we have collected a total of 89 609 procedures (mean age of 66.

- Heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) is linked to high mortality, but cardiac rehabilitation programs (CRP) can help lower rehospitalization and death rates.
- A study examined the effects of a 3-week inpatient CRP on the Metabolic Exercise data combined with Cardiac and Kidney Indexes (MECKI) scores in 53 HFrEF patients.
- Results showed an improvement in MECKI scores after the CRP, which also correlated with fewer cardiovascular events, although some patients did not see their MECKI scores improve despite experiencing these events, indicating a need for ongoing management.
The incidence of heart failure (HF) is increasing, and the mortality from HF remains high in an aging society. Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) programs (CRP) increase oxygen uptake (V̇O) and reduce HF rehospitalization and mortality. Therefore, CR is recommended for every HF patient.

Ivabradine selectively inhibits the funny current ( ) and decreases heart rate without affecting cardiac conduction, contractility, or blood pressure. The effect of ivabradine on exercise tolerance in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) on standard drug therapies remains unclear.

Article Synopsis
- Clinical practice guidelines recommend optimal medical therapy (OMT) for patients with stable ischemic heart disease (SIHD), focusing on lifestyle changes, medications, and exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation (CR).
- The Pre-START study is a pilot study aimed at assessing the efficacy and safety of CR specifically for Japanese patients with SIHD who have not undergone revascularization, including 36 outpatient CR sessions within 5 months.
- The primary goal is to measure changes in health-related quality of life and exercise capacity over 6 months, providing crucial data for future studies on CR in SIHD patients.
