Results of a Prospective Study of Acute Coronary Syndrome Hospitalization After Enactment of a Smoking Ban in Public Places in Hyogo Prefecture – Comparison With Gifu, a Prefecture Without a Public Smoking Ban –
Yukihito Sato,Shinya Minatoguchi,Kazuhiko Nishigaki,Ken-ichi Hirata,Tohru Masuyama,Yutaka Furukawa,Masaaki Uematsu,Junichi Yoshikawa,Satoru Otsuji,Mami Iida,Hisayoshi Fujiwara,Shyogi Study Investigators +11 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that ACS reduction may depend on the degree of adherence to a smoking ban, and the subanalysis showed a significant decrease in ACS admissions in Kobe City.

Reduction in coronary microvascular resistance through cardiac resynchronization and its impact on chronic reverse remodelling of left ventricle in patients with non-ischaemic cardiomyopathy
Mitsuaki Itoh,Toshiro Shinke,Akihiro Yoshida,Amane Kozuki,Asumi Takei,Koji Fukuzawa,Kunihiko Kiuchi,Kimitake Imamura,Ryudo Fujiwara,Atsushi Suzuki,Tomoyuki Nakanishi,Soichiro Yamashita,Akinori Matsumoto,Hiromasa Otake,Ryoji Nagoshi,Junya Shite,Ken-ichi Hirata +16 more
TL;DR: Cardiac resynchronization therapy improves coronary flow circulation by reducing microvascular resistance, which might be associated with LV reverse remodelling.

Dynamic Left Ventricular Dyssynchrony Assessed on 3-Dimensional Speckle-Tracking Area Strain During Dobutamine Stress Has a Negative Impact on Cardiovascular Events in Patients With Idiopathic Dilated Cardiomyopathy
Kensuke Matsumoto,Hidekazu Tanaka,Tatsuya Miyoshi,Mana Hiraishi,Akihiro Kaneko,Yuko Fukuda,Kazuhiro Tatsumi,Hiroya Kawai,Ken-ichi Hirata +8 more
TL;DR: Dynamic dyssynchrony is a potential predictor of cardiovascular events in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy, while assessment of dynamic dyss synchrony in combination with contractile reserve may further improve prognostic risk stratification.

Endothelial cell senescence exacerbates pulmonary hypertension by inducing juxtacrine Notch signaling in smooth muscle cells
Risa Ramadhiani,Koji Ikeda,Kazuya Miyagawa,Naoki Tamada,Yoko Suzuki,Yuhei Kirita,Satoaki Matoba,Ken-ichi Hirata,Noriaki Emoto +8 more
TL;DR: In this article , the authors demonstrate that endothelial cell (EC) senescence plays a negative role in pulmonary hypertension via juxtacrine interaction with smooth muscle cells (SMCs).

Predictive importance of left ventricular myocardial stiffness for the prognosis of patients with congestive heart failure.
Satoshi Watanabe,Junya Shite,Hideyuki Takaoka,Toshiro Shinke,Yusuke Tanino,Hiromasa Otake,Daisuke Matsumoto,Daisuke Ogasawara,Takahiro Sawada,Ken-ichi Hirata,Mitsuhiro Yokoyama +10 more
TL;DR: In patients with CHF, increased myocardial stiffness may have greater prognostic significance compared to other conventional predictors and may be considered to be an important prognostic factor independent of the loading conditions.
