As a consequence of the worldwide increase in life expectancy, and due to improvements in the treatment of heart failure in recent years, the proportion of patients that reach an advanced phase of the disease, s
While the 2023 ACC/AHA/ACCP/HRS AF guidelines recommend catheter ablation in patients with AF and heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) to improve symptoms, quality of life, ventricular function, and cardiovascular function (class of recommendation I, level of evidence A), no specif...
Junko Inagaki2, Makoto Mitarai3, Hiroshi Oda3, Seiji Umemoto4 and Sei Kobayashi1 The Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet is recommended by the American Heart Association to lower blood pressure (BP); however, its effects in Japanese participants have not been rigorously studied....
ACS = acute coronary syndrome; CAPD = continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis; CHF = congestive heart failure; CVA = cardiovascular accident; ESRF = end-stage renal failure; RRT = renal replacement therapy; UGIB = upper gastrointestinal bleeding. Survival of RRT and conservative treatment The RRT ...
The other 4 patients died of unre- lated illnesses (2 of heart failure, 1 of cerebral infarction, and 1 of pneumonia that was not related to radiation pneumonitis). Thus, very elderly patients tended to die of causes other than NSCLC. Prognostic factors for OS that were identified in uni-...

In addition, the elderly group was more inclined to have comorbid diabetes, which increased the risk of heart failure and cardiovascular events, thus accelerating the death of the patients [25]. Conditions such as malnutrition, the presence of diabetes mellitus, and heart failure contributed to a...
(Yoshie, Kudo, & Ohtsuki, 2008). Increased heart rate and sympathetic activation is a natural response during performance (Spahn et al., 2010;Thomson & Jaque, 2011b). For anxiety-sensitive performers, these somatic changes may trigger more performance anxiety, rather than performance excitement (...
