Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to determine how gait speed and frontal lobe functionsin community-dwelling older adults in Korea. DESIGN This was a cross-sectional study. SETTING The study used data from the Korean Frailty and Aging Cohort Survey (KFACS), a multi-center longitudinal study addressing 10 centers across urban, rural, and suburban communities in Korea, between 2016 and 2017. PARTICIPANTS A total of 1552 older adults who underwent both gait speed tests and cognitive functions tests during the investigation of the KFACS. MEASUREMENTS Gait speed was assessed by asking participants to walk from a starting point to a point 4 meters away at a normal gait. Cognitive functions were evaluated using various standardized cognitive functions tests. RESULTS Gait speed was slower when participants were older or less educated The percentage of women, higher BMI, people with lower incomes, singles, smokers, and drinkers was high in the slower gait group. Also, all cognitive function scores were low and depression score was high in the group with slower walking speed. The slower walking speed showed low physical activity score and high prevalence of hypertension, osteoarthritis and osteoporosis. Among the seven cognitive functions (MMSE, memory, TMT, Recall, Recognition, digit span, and Fab), only TMT showed no significant difference between different gait speed groups. The other six cognitive functions showed higher results in the fastest gait speed group (T3), Participants in middle gait speed group (T2) also showed higher results in five of the seven cognitive function scores as well (Memory, Recall, Recognition, digit span, and Fab). CONCLUSION In this study, we found correlation between the slower gait speeds and the decrease in cognitive function, and especially the frontal lobe dysfunction was most prominent of all cognitive dysfunctions.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Comorbidities are associated with poor clinical outcome in heart failure patients (pts). AHEAD (A: atrial fibrillation; H: hemoglobin; E: elderly; A: abnormal renal parameters; D: diabetes mellitus) score has been related to clinical outcomes in acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) pts. On the other hand, heart failure is one of a number of disorders associated with the development of wasting syndrome. Previous studies have reported reduced mortality rates in heart failure patients with increased body mass index (BMI), so-called, obesity paradox. We sought to investigate the prognostic value of the combination of AHEAD score and the cachectic state in ADHF pts, relating to reduced or preserved LVEF (HFrEF or HFpEF).
Methods and results
We studied 303 pts admitted for ADHF and discharged with survival (HFrEF (LVEF <50%); n=163, HFpEF (LVEF ≥50%; n=140). We evaluated AHEAD score (range 0–5, atrial fibrillation, hemoglobin <13 mg/dL for men and 12 mg/dL for women, age >70 years, creatinine >130 μmol/L, and diabetes mellitus) and wasting syndrome was defined as BMI <20 kg/m2 and serum albumin level (Alb) <3.2 g/dl at the discharge. During a follow-up period of 5.1±4.2 years, 121 pts died. At multivariate Cox analysis, AHEAD score and wasting syndrome was significantly and independently associated with the total mortality, in pts with not only HFrEF but also HFpEF. Pts with both high AHEAD score (≥3: AUC 0.625 [0.542–0.709] in HFrEF and ≥3: AUC 0.611 [0514–0.708] in HFpEF, by ROC curve analysis) and wasting syndrome had a higher risk of mortality than those with either and none of them in HFrEF (71% vs 51% vs 40%, p<0.0001, respectively) and HFpEF (78% vs 33% vs 24%, p<0.0001, respectively).
Conclusion
The combination of AHEAD score and wasting syndrome would be useful for stratifying patients at risk for the mortality in ADHF pts, regardless of HFrEF or HFpEF.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Liver dysfunction in patients with heart failure (HF) is caused by liver congestion, which is related to liver stiffness. It was reported that liver stiffness assessed by non-invasive fibrosis marker such as Fibrosis-4 (FIB4) index (based on age, aspartate aminotransferase [AST] and alanine aminotransferase [ALT] levels, and platelet counts) predicts mortality in HF pts. Acute kidney injury (AKI) during HF treatment is associated with poor outcome in pts admitted for acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF). However, there is no information available on the long-term prognostic significance of the combination of FIB4 index and AKI in ADHF pts.
Methods and results
We studied 299 ADHF pts with survival discharge. FIB4 index was calculated by the formula: age (yrs) × AST[U/L]/(platelets [103/μL] × (ALT[U/L])1/2). AKI during ADHF treatment was defined according to AKI Network criteria (stage 1: mild, stage 2: moderate, stage 3: severe). During a follow-up period of 4.3±3.3 yrs, 94 pts died. At multivariate Cox analysis, FIB4 index and stage2/3 AKI, but not stage1 AKI, significantly associated with total mortality, independently of prior HF hospitalization and serum sodium and blood urea nitrogen levels after adjustment with BMI, systolic blood pressure, hemoglobin, serum creatinine and albumin levels, left ventricular end-diastolic and left atrial dimension indexes. Pts with both greater FIB4 index (>2.674: median) and stage 2/3 AKI had a significantly higher risk of total mortality than those with none of them. Adjusted hazard ratio in pts with both greater FIB4 index and stage 2/3 AKI was 3.5 (95% CI 1.6–7.7), which was two-fold of that in pts with either of them (1.7 [95% CI 1.1–2.7]).
Conclusion
The combination of FIB4 index and moderate to severe AKI might identify higher risk subset for total mortality in ADHF pts.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
A four-parameter risk model including cardiac iodine-123 metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) imaging and readily available clinical parameters has been recently developed for the prediction of 2-year cardiac mortality risk in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) using a Japanese CHF database consisting of 1322 patients. On the other hand, the Acute Decompensated Heart Failure National Registry (ADHERE) and Get With The Guidelines-Heart Failure (GWTG-HF) risk scores, simple tools to predict risk of in-hospital mortality, have been reported to be predictive of post-discharge outcome in patients with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF). However, there is no information available on the usefulness of 2-year MIBG-based cardiac mortality risk score for the prediction of post-discharge prognosis in ADHF patients and its comparison with the ADHERE and GWTG-HF risk scores.
Purpose
We sought to validate the predictability of the 2-year MIBG-based cardiac mortality risk score for post-discharge clinical outcome in ADHF patients, and to compare its prognostic value with those of ADHERE and GWTG-HF risk scores.
Methods
We studied 297 consecutive patients who were admitted for ADHF, survived to discharge, and had definitive 2-year outcomes. Venous blood sampling was performed on admission, and echocardiography and cardiac MIBG imaging were performed just before discharge. In cardiac MIBG imaging, the cardiac MIBG heart-to-mediastinum ratio (HMR) was measured from the chest anterior view images obtained at 20 and 200 min after isotope injection. The 2-year cardiac mortality risk score was calculated using four parameters, including age, left ventricular ejection fraction, NYHA functional class, and HMR on delayed image. The patients were stratified into three groups based on the 2-year cardiac mortality risk score: low- (<4%), intermediate- (4–12%), and high-risk (>12%) groups. The ADHERE and GWTG-HF risk scores were also calculated from admission data as previously reported. The predictive ability of the scores was compared using receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. The endpoint was a composite of all-cause mortality and unplanned hospitalization for worsening heart failure.
Results
During a follow-up period, 110 patients reached the primary endpoint. There was significant difference in the rate of primary endpoint among the three groups stratified by 2-year cardiac mortality risk score (low-risk group: 18%, intermediate-risk group: 36%, high-risk group: 64%, Figure 1A). The 2-year cardiac mortality risk score demonstrated a greater area under the curve for the primary endpoint compared to the ADHERE and the GWTG-HF risk scores (Figure 1B).
Figure 1
Conclusions
The 2-year MIBG-based cardiac mortality risk score is also useful for the prediction of post-discharge clinical outcome in ADHF patients, and its prognostic value is superior to those of the ADHERE and the GWTG-HF risk scores.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Recent studies showed that both worsening renal function (WRF) and improved renal function (IRF) during hospitalization are associated with poor prognosis in patients with acute decompensate heart failure (ADHF). On the other hand, plasma volume (PV) expansion plays an essential role in ADHF. However, there is little information about the difference of prognostic impact of WRF and IRF in ADHF patients, relating to PV status (PVS).
Methods
We prospectively studied 348 patients admitted for ADHF. PVS was defined as follows: actual PV = (1 - hematocrit) × [a + (b × body weight)] (a=1530 in males and a=864 in females, b=41.0 in males and b=47.9 in females); ideal PV = c × body weight (c=39 in males and c=40 in females); and PVS = [(actual PV - ideal PV)/ideal PV] × 100 (%). WRF and IRF were defined as an increase and a decrease in serum creatinine of ≥0.3 mg/dl from admission to discharge, respectively. The endpoint was readmission for worsening heart failure (WHF) within 1 year.
Result
Median PVS was 6.7% (IQR: −4.1%–16.7%). 43 and 21 patients had WHF in groups with high PVS (PVS ≥ median) and low PVS (PVS > median), respectively. In high PVS group, multivariate Cox analysis showed that IRF was independently and significantly associated with WHF (p=0.016, HR: 2.4 [1.2–4.8]), but WRF was not (p=0.55, HR: 0.7 [0.3–2.1]). On the other hand, in low PVS group, WRF was independently associated with WHF (p=0.035, HR: 3.0 [1.1–8.1]), but IRF was not (p=0.27, HR: 2.1 [0.6–8.0]). Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed that only patients with IRF had a significantly higher risk of WHF than those with stable renal function (SRF) in high PVS group, while patients with WRF had a significantly higher risk of WHF than those with SRF in low PVS group.
Worsening heart failure-free rate curves
Conclusion
In ADHF patients with PV expansion, IRF during hospitalization could predict poor outcomes, but WRF could not. On the other hand, in ADHF patients without PV expansion, not IRF but WRF could predict poor outcomes. PVS guided-therapy may be considered in secondary prevention for WHF.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
It has been reported that the objective nutritional indices such as the Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT) score, Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) and Prognostic Nutritional Index (PNI) are useful for the prediction of prognosis in patients with heart failure. However, there is no information available on the prognostic value of the combination of these objective nutritional indices in patients with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF).
Purpose
We sought to assess the usefulness of the Combined Objective Nutritional Score for the prediction of post-discharge clinical outcome in ADHF patients.
Methods
We studied 361 consecutive patients who were admitted for ADHF and survived to discharge. Venous blood sampling, echocardiography, and measurement of body weight were performed just before discharge. CONUT score, GNRI and PNI were calculated as previously reported. We determined the Combined Objective Nutritional Score by assigning 1 point each for high CONUT score (2–12), low GNRI (≤98) or low PNI (≤38). Patients were followed-up for up to 5 years. The study endpoint was all-cause death.
Results
During a follow-up period of 2.4±1.3 years, 106 patients had all-cause death. Multivariate Cox analysis showed that the Combined Objective Nutritional Score was independently associated with all-cause death after adjustment for age, gender, history of coronary artery disease, left ventricular ejection fraction, brain natriuretic peptide level and estimate glomerular filtration rate (p<0.0001). When the patients were stratified into the three groups based on the Combined Objective Nutritional Score (normal nutritional status: 0 point, mild-to-moderate malnutrition: 1–2 points, severe malnutrition: 3 points), the incidence of all-cause death appeared to increase in relation to the Combined Objective Nutritional Score (normal: 0%, mild-to moderate: 23%, severe: 52%, p<0.0001, Figure). Patients with severe malnutrition showed 2.9 fold (95% CI 1.8–4.6) increase in the total mortality in comparison to patients with mild-to-moderate malnutrition.
Figure 1
Conclusion
This study showed that the Combined Objective Nutritional Score is a useful tool to risk stratify the patients hospitalized with ADHF.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Concomitant presence of pulmonary hypertension in heart failure is associated with increased adverse events and may be related to interventricular uncoupling and impaired cardiac efficiency. It has recently been shown that an increased mean pulmonary artery pressure to mean systemic arterial pressure ratio (MPS ratio), a marker of interventricular coupling and efficiency, is associated with worse clinical outcomes in patients with advanced heart failure. However, there is little information available on the long-term prognostic value of MPS ratio in patients with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF), relating to reduced or preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (HFrEF or HFpEF).
Methods and results
We studied 240 patients admitted for ADHF, who underwent right heart catheterization and were discharged with survival (HFrEF (LVEF≤40%); n=110, HFpEF (LVEF>40%); n=130). MPS ratio was obtained at the admission. During a mean follow-up period of 5.2±4.4 yrs, 59 patients had cardiovascular death (CVD). In both groups with HFrEF and HFpEF, MPS ratio was significantly greater in patients with than without CVD (HFrEF; 0.453±0.101 vs 0.382±0.116, p=0.0035, HFpEF; 0.374±0.118 vs 0.323±0.083, p=0.0091). At multivariate Cox regression analysis, MPS ratio was significantly associated with CVD, independently of eGFR and serum sodium level in HFrEF and HFpEF groups. Patients with high MPS ratio (>0.386 in HFrEF and >0.415 in HFpEF determined by ROC curve analysis) had a significantly increased risk of CVD than those with low MPS ratio in both groups.
Conclusions
MPS ratio could provide the long-term prognostic information in patients admitted for ADHF, regardless of reduced or preserved LVEF.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The reduced diuretic response (DR) has been shown to be associated with poor clinical outcome in patients with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF). In addition, hypoalbuminemia, which is related to DR, has been also reported to predict poor prognosis in ADHF patients. However, there is no information available on the impact of albumin level on the prognostic value of DR in patients with ADHF.
Methods
We prospectively studied 296 consecutive patients who were admitted for ADHF and survived to discharge. The patients were divided into 2 groups according to the presence or absence of hypoalbuminemia at the admission, defined as the serum level of albumin at admission <3.5g/dl, and DR was defined as weight loss per 40mg intravenous dose and 80mg oral dose of furosemide up to day 4. The endpoint was a composite of all-cause mortality and unplanned hospitalization for worsening heart failure.
Results
There were 144 patients with hypoalbuminemia and 152 patients without hypoalbuminemia. During a mean follow-up period of 2.2±1.5 years, 88 patients with hypoalbuminemia and 53 patients without hypoalbuminemia reached the endpoint. In group with hypoalbuminemia, DR was significantly smaller in patients with than without the endpoint (0.85 [0.50–1.50] vs 1.60 [0.76–2.70] kg/40mg furosemide, p=0.003), while there was no significant difference in DR between them in group without hypoalbuminemia (1.17 [0.59–1.66] vs 1.07 [0.75–1.88] kg/40mg furosemide, p=0.381). At multivariate Cox analysis, in group with hypoalbuminemia, DR was significantly associated with the endpoint, independently of age, left ventricular ejection fraction, and serum creatinine and plasma BNP levels. On the other hand, in group without hypoalbuminemia, DR showed no significant association with the endpoint at univariate Cox analysis. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that patients with poor DR (≤1.08 kg/40mg furosemide: median value) had a significantly higher risk of the endpoint in group with hypoalbuminemia, but not in group without hypoalbuminemia (Figure).
Figure 1
Conclusion
Our results suggested that prognostic value of DR in ADHF patients is affected by the presence or absence of hypoalbuminemia.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The Get with The Guidelines (GWTG) heart failure (HF) risk score was developed in the GWTG inpatient HF registry to predict in-hospital mortality and also reported to be associated with post-discharge long-term outcomes. Plasma volume (PV) expansion plays an essential role in HF. Recently, it has been reported that PV is estimated by a simple formula based on hematocrit and body weight, not using radioisotope assays, and PV status provides prognostic information in patients (pts) with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF). However, there is no information available on the long-term prognostic value of the combination of PV status and GWTG-HF risk score in pts admitted for ADHF.
Methods and results
We studied 301 ADHF pts discharged with survival. Variables required for the GWTG-HF risk score were race, age, systolic blood pressure, heart rate, serum levels of blood urea nitrogen and sodium, and the presence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. PV status was calculated as the following: Actual PV = (1 − hematocrit) x [a + (b x body weight)] (a=1530 in males and a=864 in females, b=41 in males and b=47.9 in females), Ideal PV = c x body weight (c=39 in males and c=40 in females), and PV status = [(actual PV − ideal PV)/ideal PV] x 100(%). During a follow-up period of 4.3±3.2 yrs, 95 pts had all-cause death (ACD). At multivariate Cox analysis, GWTG-HF risk score and PV status were significantly associated with the total mortality, independently of eGFR and the prior history of heart failure hospitalization, after the adjustment with serum albumin level and anemia. Pts with both high GWTG-HF risk score (≥39 by ROC analysis; AUC 0.655 [0.586–0.724]) and greater PV status (≥8.1% by ROC analysis; AUC 0.624 [0.566–0.692]) had a significantly higher risk of ACD than those with either or none of them (58% vs 30% vs 21%, p<0.0001, respectively).
Conclusion
PV status would provide the additional long-term prognostic information to GWTG-HF risk score in ADHF pts.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Comorbidities are associated with poor clinical outcome in patients with chronic heart failure, and acute kidney injury (AKI) also provides prognostic information in patients with heart failure. However, there is no information available on the impact of comorbidities on the prognostic value of AKI in patients admitted for acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF).
Methods
We prospectively studied 357 consecutive ADHF patients with survival discharge. Patients with hemodialysis were excluded. Comorbidity was measured with the Age-adjusted Charlson comorbidity index (ACCI) which is commonly used for the evaluation of the comorbid condition which is weighted and scored, with additional points added for age. AKI was defined as an absolute increase in serum creatinine of 0.3mg/dl or more during hospitalization. The endpoint was all-cause death (ACD).
Results
During a follow-up period of 2.2±1.4 years, 97 patients had ACD. At multivariate Cox analysis, ACCI (p<0.0001) and AKI (p=0.0061) were significantly and independently associated with ACD. Patients with high ACCI (≥5: determined by ROC analysis) had a significantly greater risk of ACD (39% vs 16%). In the subgroup of high ACCI, patients with AKI had a significantly higher risk of ACD (60% vs 35%), whereas there was no significant difference in the risk of ACD between with and without AKI (15% vs 16%) in the subgroup of low ACCI.
Conclusions
The presence of AKI was associated with the increased risk of mortality in ADHF patients with higher comorbidity burden but not in those without them.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Comorbidities strongly influence the prognosis in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Malnutrition is one of the most important comorbidities among heart failure patients. Serum cholinesterase (CHE), one of the markers of malnutrition, was reported to be a prognostic factor in patients with chronic heart failure. In addition, we previously reported prognostic significance of CHE from a single center registry data of acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF). The aim of this study is to conduct external validation of the prognostic role of CHE using multi-center HFpEF registry.
Methods and results
Patients data were extracted from The Prospective mUlticenteR obServational stUdy of patIenTs with Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction (PURSUIT HFpEF) study. PURSUIT-HFpEF study is a prospective multicenter observational study in which collaborating hospitals in Osaka recorded clinical, echocardiographic, and outcome data of patients with ADHF and preserved ejection fraction. Between June 2016 and January 2018, 381 patients were enrolled and we excluded patients without sufficient laboratory data and in-hospital death. Finally, we analyzed 204 patients with survival discharge. Laboratory data including CHE and echocardiography were obtained just before discharge. The endpoint of this study is the composite of all-cause death and worsening heart failure re-admission (cardiac event). During a follow up period of 0.92±0.37 years, 49 patients had cardiac event. CHE was significantly lower in patients with than without cardiac event (183±67 vs 223±71 U/L, p<0.0001). At multivariate Cox analysis, CHE (p=0.0020) was significantly associated with cardiac event, independently of NT-pro BNP after adjustment of age, sex, eGFR and hemoglobin. ROC curve analysis showed that AUC of CHE for the prediction of cardiac event was 0.706 (95% CI 0.638–0.768). Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that patients with low CHE (<211U/L defined by median) had a significantly greater risk of cardiac event (35% vs 13% p=0.0002).

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Plasma volume (PV) expansion plays an essential role in heart failure and PV status provides prognostic information in patients (pts) with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF). On the other hand, concomitant presence of pulmonary hypertension in heart failure is associated with increased adverse events and may be related to interventricular uncoupling and impaired cardiac efficiency. It has recently been shown that an increased mean pulmonary artery pressure to mean systemic arterial pressure ratio (MPS ratio), a marker of interventricular coupling and efficiency, is associated with worse clinical outcomes in patients with advanced heart failure. However, there is no information available on the long-term prognostic value of the combination of PV status and MPS ratio in pts admitted for ADHF.
Methods
We studied 248 pts admitted for ADHF, who underwent right heart catheterization at the admission and were discharged with survival. PV status and MPS ratio were obtained at the admission. PV status was calculated as the following: Actual PV = (1 − hematocrit) x [a + (b x body weight)] (a=1530 in males and a=864 in females, b=41 in males and b=47.9 in females), Ideal PV = c x body weight (c=39 in males and c=40 in females), and PV status = [(actual PV − ideal PV)/ideal PV] x 100(%). The study endpoint was cardiovascular death (CVD).
Results
During a mean follow-up period of 5.2±4.4 yrs, 62 pts had CVD. PV status (10.0±16.2 vs 5.0±15.3%, p=0.03) and MPS ratio (0.408±0.114 vs 0.347±0.102, p=0.0001) were significantly greater in patients with than without CVD. At multivariate Cox regression analysis, PV status and MPS ratio were significantly associated with CVD, independently of prior heart failure hospitalization, eGFR, and serum sodium level and anemia. Patients with greater PV status (> median value = 4.6%) and MPS ratio (> median value = 0.346) had a significantly higher CVD risk than those with either and none of them (44% vs 22% vs 14%, p<0.0001, respectively).
Conclusions
The combination of PV status and MPS ratio might be useful for stratifying patients at risk for CVD in patients with ADHF.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Plasma volume status (PVS) has been shown to be a well-validated prognostic indicator which relate to morbidity and mortality in heart failure. However, it remains unclear whether PVS would have the prognostic significance in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events (GRACE) risk score is a powerful predictor of prognosis after acute coronary event, but there is no information available on the additional prognostic value of PVS to GRACE in AMI patients.
Methods
We retrospectively studied 3930 AMI patients. GRACE score and PVS was obtained on the admission. PVS was calculated as follows: actual PV = (1 - hematocrit) × [a + (b × body weight)] (a=1530 in males and a=864 in females, b=41.0 in males and b=47.9 in females); ideal PV = c × body weight (c=39 in males and c=40 in females); and PVS = [(actual PV - ideal PV)/ideal PV] × 100 (%). The endpoint was All cause of death (ACD) within 5 years.
Results
During a mean follow-up period of 2.4±1.9 years, 406 patients had ACD. PVS was significantly greater in patients with ACD than without ACD (8.1±14.9% vs −1.7±13.3%, p<0.001). Each 5% increase in PVS was linked to a 27% estimated risk of 5-year mortality (p<0.001, HR: 1.05 [1.03–1.08]). PVS was still independently associated with ACD, after adjustment with GRACE score as a potential confounding factor. Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed that patients with PV expansion (PVS>0%) were significantly higher risk of ACD than those without PV expansion in patients both with high risk in GRACE score (>140) (28% (225/803) vs 19% (78/412), p=0.01, HR: 7.5) and with low risk in GRACE score (≤140) (6% (52/894) vs 3% (51/1821), p=0.009, HR: 6.2).
Survival rate curves
Conclusion
PVS, which represents intravascular compartment and congestion, could identify poor prognosis in patients with AMI. In addition, PVS would provide additional prognostic information to GRACE score.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Catheter ablation (CA) for atrial fibrillation (AF) is a curable treatment option. However, AF recurrence after CA remains an important problem. Although the success rate has been improved after catheter ablation (CA) in patients with paroxysmal AF (PAF), outcome data after CA for persistent AF (PeAF) are highly variable. Previous studies showed the PeAF is one of independent predictors for AF recurrence in comparison to PAF. However, there are little information available on the prognostic significance of AF duration after CA for AF. The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of AF duration on long-term outcomes of AF ablation in patients with PeAF compared with PAF.
Methods
We enrolled 778 consecutive patients, who were referred our institution between August 2015 and December 2017 for undergoing the first time CA for AF. We divided 5 groups (Group 1; PAF (n=442), Group 2; PeAF duration ≤6 months (n=198), Group 3; PeAF duration of 6 months to 2 years (n=87), Group 4; PeAF duration of 2–5 years (n=30) and Group 5; PeAF duration ≥5 years (n=21)). All patients followed up for at least 1 year. Outcome data on recurrence of AF after ablation were collected.
Results
There were no significant differences in baseline clinical characteristics before CA among 5 groups, except for the prevalence of congestive heart failure, left atrial diameter and left ventricular ejection fraction. During a mean follow-up period of 511±298 days, 217 patients had AF recurrence. Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed that AF recurrence was significantly higher in group 2 compared to group 1 (31% vs 20%, p=0.002) and in group 4 compared to group 3 (83% vs 30%, p<0.0001). However, AF recurrence was no significantly differences between groups 2 and 3 (31% vs 30%, p=0.76) and between groups 4 and 5 (83% vs 81%, p=0.45). Of 217 patients with AF recurrence, 154 patients had undergone multiple procedures. After last procedures, during a mean follow-up period of 546±279 days, 61 patients had AF recurrence. Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed that AF recurrence was significantly higher in group 2 compared to group 1 (10% vs 3%, P=0.0005) and in group 4 compared with group 3 (35% vs 10%, p=0.0001). However, AF recurrence was no significantly difference between groups 2 and 3 (10% vs 10%, p=0.91) and between groups 4 and 5 (47% vs 35%, p=0.47).
AF Free Survival Curve
Conclusion
Although patients with PeAF within 2 years had significantly higher AF recurrence compared to PAF, AF ablation might still be a good contributor as the first line approach to improve outcomes in patient with PeAF within 2 years.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Elevated serum uric acid (UA) level has been shown to be associated with reduced survival among patients (pts) with heart failure. Sodium glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors have been reported to lower serum uric acid level in pts with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D). Empagliflozin, one of the SGLT2 inhibitors, has been shown to reduce the risk of cardiovascular mortality in T2D pts with cardiovascular disease, and involvement of UA lowering effect by empagliflozin in the reduction of cardiovascular mortality has been suggested. However, little is known about the effect of empagliflozin as add-on therapy on serum UA level in T2D pts with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF).
Purpose
We sought to elucidate the effect of empagliflozin as add-on therapy on serum UA level in T2D pts with ADHF.
Methods
We enrolled 38 consecutive T2D pts admitted for ADHF. On admission, enrolled pts were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to either empagliflozin add-on therapy (EMPA(+)) or conventional glucose-lowering therapy (EMPA(−)). All pts in EMPA(+) group received empagliflozin (10 mg/day) throughout the study period. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) was measured at baseline using echocardiography. Body weight and vital signs, such as blood pressure and heart rate, were measured, and blood and urine samples were collected at baseline and 1, 2, 3 and 7 days after randomization. Renal handling of UA was evaluated by fractional excretion of UA (FEUA).
Results
Twenty pts were assigned to the EMPA(+) group, and 18 pts were assigned to the EMPA(−) group. There were no significant baseline differences in LVEF, plasma brain natriuretic peptide level, body mass index, or serum creatinine level between the EMPA(+) and EMPA(−) groups. In addition, prevalence rate of hyperuricemia, serum UA level, and FEUA did not significantly differ between the two groups at baseline. However, there was significant difference in the change in serum UA level from baseline at 2, 3 and 7 days after randomization between the two groups (Figure A). As a result, serum UA level was significantly lower in the EMPA(+) group than in the EMPA(−) group at 7 days after randomization (6.2±1.8 mg/dL vs 7.8±1.8 mg/dL, p=0.0127). Moreover, FEUN of the EMPA(+) group was significantly higher at 1, 2 and 7 days after randomization (Figure B), which suggested that serum UA level was lowered in the EMPA(+) group by increased urinary excretion of UA.
Figure 1
Conclusions
This study demonstrated that empagliflozin as add-on therapy can lower serum UA level in T2D pts with ADHF through the effect on the urinary excretion rate of UA.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The mainstay of treatment of acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) is decongestion by diuretic therapy. Empagliflozin has been shown to reduce the risk of hospitalization for heart failure in patients (pts) with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) and cardiovascular disease. This may be explained by natriuresis and osmotic diuresis caused by empagliflozin, leading to plasma volume (PV) contraction and decongestion. However, little is known about the therapeutic effect of empagliflozin on decongestion and its association with renal function in T2D pts with ADHF.
Purpose
We sought to elucidate the effect of empagliflozin as add-on therapy on plasma B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) level, hemoconcentration, PV contraction and renal function in T2D pts with ADHF.
Methods
We enrolled 38 consecutive T2D pts admitted for ADHF. On admission, enrolled pts were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to either empagliflozin add-on therapy (EMPA(+)) or conventional glucose-lowering therapy (EMPA(−)). All pts in EMPA(+) group received empagliflozin (10mg/day) throughout the study period. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) was measured at baseline using echocardiography. Body weight and vital signs, such as blood pressure and heart rate, were measured, and blood and urine samples were collected at baseline and 1, 2, 3 and 7 days after randomization. Hemoconcentration was defined as a ≥3% absolute increase in hematocrit (Hct). Percent change in PV between admission and subsequent timepoints (%ΔPV) was calculated using the Strauss formula as follows: %ΔPV = ([(Hb1/Hb2) × ((100 − Hct2)/(100 − Hct1))] − 1) × 100 (%), where 1 = baseline values and 2 = subsequent values. Worsening renal function (WRF) was defined as an increase in serum creatinine ≥0.3 mg/dL above baseline within 7 days of randomization.
Results
Twenty pts were assigned to the EMPA(+) group, and 18 pts were assigned to the EMPA(−) group. There were no significant baseline differences in LVEF, plasma BNP level, Hct or serum creatinine level between the EMPA(+) and EMPA(−) groups. Seven days after randomization, plasma BNP level was significantly lower in the EMPA(+) group than in the EMPA(−) group (median 213 [IQR 116–360] pg/mL vs 362 [226–776] pg/mL, p=0.0437) and hemoconcentration was more frequently observed in the EMPA(+) group than in the EMPA(−) group (53% vs 12%, p=0.0105). The decrease in %ΔPV was larger in the EMPA(+) group than in the EMPA(−) group 2 days (−8.74±9.92% vs 1.14±14.71%, p=0.0228), 3 days (−11.28±10.65% vs −0.02±14.70%, p=0.0121) and 7 days after randomization (−10.62±14.89% vs 0.97±13.72%, p=0.0211). The incidence of WRF did not significantly differ between the EMPA(+) and EMPA(−) groups (15% vs 22%).
Conclusions
This study demonstrated that empagliflozin as add-on therapy can achieve effective decongestion without an increased risk of WRF in T2D pts with ADHF.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The cricothyroid membrane is the most commonly accessed location for invasive surgical airway. Although the laryngeal handshake method is recommended for identifying the cricothyroid membrane, there is no clinical data regarding the utility of the laryngeal handshake method in cricothyroid membrane identification. The objective of this study was to compare the accuracy of cricothyroid membrane identification between the laryngeal handshake method and simple palpation. METHODS After anaesthesia induction, the otorhinolaryngology resident and anaesthesia resident identified and marked the needle insertion point for cricothyroidotomy using simple palpation and the laryngeal handshake method, respectively. The cricothyroid membrane was confirmed with ultrasonography. Identification was determined successful if the marked point was placed within the longitudinal area of the cricothyroid membrane and within 5 mm from midline transversely. The accuracy of cricothyroid membrane identification using the laryngeal handshake method and simple palpation was compared. RESULTS A total of 123 patients were enrolled. The cricothyroid membrane was correctly identified in 87 (70.7%, 95% confidence interval 61.8-78.6%) patients using the laryngeal handshake method compared to 78 (63.4%, 95% confidence interval 54.3-71.9%) patients using simple palpation (P = .188). The time required to identify the cricothyroid membrane was longer when using the laryngeal handshake method (15 [3-48] seconds vs 10.9 [3-55] seconds, P = .003). CONCLUSION The success rate of identifying the cricothyroid membrane was similar among the anesthesiologists who performed the laryngeal handshake method and also among otorhinolaryngologists who used simple palpation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Conventional anorectal manometric parameters based on linear waves cannot properly predict balloon expulsion (BE) time. We aimed to determine the correlation between integrated pressurized volume (IPV) parameters during simulated evacuation (SE) and BE time in healthy individuals and constipated patients and to assess the correlation between each parameter and symptoms. METHODS A total of 230 male participants (including 26 healthy volunteers and 204 chronically constipated patients) underwent high-resolution anorectal manometry (HRAM) and BE tests. The IPV was calculated by multiplying the amplitude, distance, and time from the HRAM profile. Receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) analysis and partial least square regression (PLSR) were performed. KEY RESULTS ROC analysis indicated that the IPV ratio between the upper 1 cm and lower 4 cm of the anal canal was more effective for predicting BE time (area under the curve [AUC]: 0.74, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.67-0.80, P < .01) than the conventional anorectal parameters, including defecation index and rectoanal gradient (AUC: 0.60, 95% CI: 0.52-0.67, P = .01). PLSR analysis of a linear combination of IPV parameters yielded an AUC of 0.79. Moreover, the IPV ratio showed a greater clinical correlation with patient symptoms than conventional parameters. CONCLUSIONS AND INFERENCES The IPV parameters and the combination of IPV parameters via PLSR were more significantly correlated with BE time than the conventional parameters. Thus, this study presents a useful diagnostic tool for the evaluation of pathophysiologic abnormalities in dyssynergic defecation using IPV and BE time.
