Validation of the 2018 Japanese Circulation Society (JCS)/Japanese Heart Failure Society (JHFS) Guidelines for Preventing Sudden Cardiac Death in Patients With Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Open
The 2018 JCS/JHFS guidelines showed good discriminatory performance for SCD risk stratification, particularly among patients with Class 2a recommendations for an implantable cardioverter defibrillator.

Dual-Prep registry: atherectomy devices and intravascUlAr lithotripsy for the PREParation of heavily calcified coronary lesions registry Open
Evaluation of calcified lesions by intravascular imaging has revealed that atherectomy devices have only limited impact. However, subsequent use of coronary intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) may increase treatment effectiveness without incre…

Low-voltage areas, atrial cardiomyopathy score, and outcomes in patients with preserved ejection fraction after catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation Open
The presence of LVA and the postprocedural AC score are associated with AF recurrence. However, the AC score is a more cost-effective and stronger predictor of cardiovascular events in patients with preserved LVEF after AF ablation than th…

Initial experiences and technical insights of pulmonary vein isolation with FARAPULSE pulsed field ablation in patients implanted with <span>WATCHMAN</span> left atrial appendage closure devices: The first report in Japan Open
We performed pulsed field ablation using FARAPULSE after left atrial appendage closure (LAAC). We should confirm flower configurations did not overlap with the LAAC device using intracardiac echocardiography and 3-D mapping system and with…

Early Supera stent fracture after treatment of popliteal artery occlusion caused by artificial knee joint: a case report Open
Background The Supera stent, a self-expanding interwoven nitinol stent, has greater radial force than conventional stents, resulting in high patency and reduced stent fracture. There have been few reports of early stent fracture, and it is…

Validation of Guideline Recommendation on Sudden Cardiac Death Prevention in Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Open
Among HCM phenotypes, the prognosis of patients with end-stage HCM was markedly worse. The 2024 ACC/AHA and 2023 ESC guidelines well stratified SCD risk in patients with HCM; the 2024 ACC/AHA guidelines seemed to better stratify SCD risk b…
