Factors related to the skin thickness of cardiovascular implantable electronic device pockets
Atsusuke Yatomi,Mitsuru Takami,Koji Fukuzawa,Kunihiko Kiuchi,Jun Sakai,Toshihiro Nakamura,Yusuke Sonoda,Hiroyuki Takahara,Kazutaka Nakasone,Kyoko Yamamoto,Yuya Suzuki,Kenichi Tani,H. Iwai,Yusuke Nakanishi,Ken-ichi Hirata +14 more
TL;DR: The skin overlying cardiovascular implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) sometimes becomes very thin after implantations, which could cause a device erosion, and the factors associated with the thickness are evaluated.
Low plasma adiponectin levels are associated with presence of thin-cap fibroatheroma in men with stable coronary artery disease
Takahiro Sawada,Junya Shite,Toshiro Shinke,Hiromasa Otake,Yusuke Tanino,Daisuke Ogasawara,Hiroyuki Kawamori,Hiroki Kato,Naoki Miyoshi,Naoki Yoshino,Amane Kozuki,Ken-ichi Hirata +11 more
TL;DR: Low plasma adiponectin was associated with the presence of TCFA in men with stable CAD, suggesting that, in these subjects, it may be a biomarker that can be used to stratify "vulnerable patients" into risk categories.
Impact of hypertension on left ventricular function in patients after anthracycline chemotherapy for malignant lymphoma
Yusuke Tanaka,Hidekazu Tanaka,Keiko Hatazawa,Kentaro Yamashita,Keiko Sumimoto,Ayu Shono,Makiko Suzuki,Shun Yokota,Makiko Suto,Jun Mukai,Hiroki Takada,Kensuke Matsumoto,Hironobu Minami,Ken-ichi Hirata +13 more
TL;DR: Hypertension was found to be associated with LV dysfunction after anthracycline chemotherapy in patients with malignant lymphoma and preserved LVEF, and watchful observation or early therapeutic intervention may be needed for such patients by the addition of the presence of LVH.
Role of endogenous nitric oxide generation in the regulation of vascular tone and reactivity in small vessels as investigated in transgenic mice using synchrotron radiation microangiography.
Tomoya Yamashita,Seinosuke Kawashima,Masanori Ozaki,Masayuki Namiki,Seimi Satomi-Kobayashi,Tadashi Seno,Yasuaki Matsuda,Nobutaka Inoue,Ken-ichi Hirata,Hozuka Akita,Keiji Umetani,Etsuro Tanaka,Hidezo Mori,Mitsuhiro Yokoyama +13 more
TL;DR: The data provide the evidence that overproduced NO from endothelium reduces vascular tone and plays a pivotal role in regulation of vascular tone in small vessels and the reduced NO-mediated relaxation in small vessel of eNOS-Tg mice is demonstrated for the first time in vivo.
The relationship between the incision line and position of the latissimus dorsi muscle for subcutaneous implantable cardioverter‐defibrillator intermuscular implantations
Yusuke Sonoda,Koji Fukuzawa,Kunihiko Kiuchi,Mitsuru Takami,Yukiko Izawa,Toshihiro Nakamura,Hiroyuki Takahara,Kyoko Yamamoto,Kazutaka Nakasone,Yuya Suzuki,Kenichi Tani,H. Iwai,Yusuke Nakanishi,Mitsuhiko Shoda,Atsushi Murakami,Shogo Yonehara,Ken-ichi Hirata +16 more
TL;DR: This paper evaluated the position and trend of the anterior border of the latissimus dorsi muscle (LDM) in patients who are candidates for implantable cardioverter-defibrillators.
