    Abstract: Purpose: We have previously demonstrated local persistent hypercoagulation after sirolimus-eluting stent (SES) implantation by measuring plasma prothrombin fragment F1+2(frF1+2) levels. The aim of this study is to examine local coagulation response after biolimus-eluting stent (BES) and everolimus-eluting stent (EES) implantation. Methods: Sixty-eight patients who were treated with stents about eight months earlier to the mid-segment of the left anterior descending coronary artery, with no evidence of restenosis, were studied (BES: 12pts, EES: 15pts, SES: 23pts, and BMS: 18pts). We measured plasma levels of frF1+2 sampled in coronary sinus (CS) and sinus of Valsalva (V). The transcardiac frF1+2 gradients (ΔfrF1+2) were defined as CS level minus V level. The patients were divided into 2 groups according to total stent length [longer stent group (≥24mm) or shorter stent group ( 〈 24mm)]. Results: A larger percent diameter stenosis was observed in the BMS group than in the SES, EES, and BES groups (25.1±15.6 vs 7.1±16.5, 12.5±12.8, 10.3±14.2%, p 〈 0.05, respectively). The ΔfrF1+2 was greater in the SES group than in the BMS, EES, and BES groups, and no significant differences were observed among the BMS, EES, and BES groups (23.4±21.1 vs 4.7±13.4, 3.2±11.7, 1.5±11.1 pmol/l, p 〈 0.05, respectively). The ΔfrF1+2 in longer stent group (n=11) was significantly greater than in shorter stent group (n=12) (27.4±12.1 vs 19.2±10.1 pmol/l, p 〈 0.05) only in the SES group, however, no significant differences were observed according to total stent length in other groups. Conclusions: A lower response of local coagulation after BES and EES implantation was shown, and significant correlation between local hypercoagulation and total stent length was observed only after SES implantation. These findings might be associated with lower strut thickness and unique characteristics of polymer in second-generation drug-eluting stents.

    Abstract: Backgrounds: Patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) often have a low-amplitude potential in the terminal part of filtered P-wave (atrial late potential: aLP). However, it remains unknown what aLP reflects in AF patients. On the other hand, electrical remodeling of the atria can be precisely evaluated by the quantitative voltage map analysis using 3D mapping system. In this study, we hypothesized that we could substitute "non-invasive" aLP for "invasive" 3D mapping system to evaluate the atrial electrical remodeling and investigated the relationship between aLP and atrial substrate remodeling in AF patients. Methods: The P-wave single-averaged electrocardiogram (P-SAECG) was recored in 60 patients with paroxysmal AF who underwent PV isolation. Filtered P-wave duration (fPWD) and root-mean-squared voltage of the terminal 20ms of ≤2.0 μV (RMS20) were assessed by P-SAECG. The left atrial (LA) global contact mapping during sinus rhythm was performed and LA voltage zone index (LAVZI) was defined as an area with voltage 〈 0.5mV divided by total LA surface area. Results: LAVZI showed a strong positive correlation with fPWD and a strong negative correlation with RMS20 (r=-0.82, p 〈 0.01; r=0.68, p 〈 0.01, respectively). LV volume by echocardiography was also positively correlated with fPWD and negatively correlated with RMS20 (r=0.57, p 〈 0.05; r=-0.69, p 〈 0.01, respectively). In addition, LA appendage flow was negatively correlated with fPWD (r=-0.49, p 〈 0.05). fPWD was significantly longer and RMS20 was lower in patients with AF for more than 1 year than those for less than 1 year. However, there were no significant correlations between aLP parameters and other echocardiographic findings such as left ventricular ejection fraction or plasma BNP concentration. Conclusions: aLP reflects precisely atrial substrate remodeling in AF patients. aLP might serve as non-invasive tool for monitoring the atrial substrate remodeling in patients with AF.

    Abstract: Bacground: The ability to identify risk markers for first atrial fibrillation (AF) is critical to the development of preventive strategies. Prior studies have demonstrated that advanced age, diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease increase the risk of developing AF. Echocardiographic left atrial (LA) size and diastolic dysfunction are also shown to predict the onset of AF. Furthermore, a recent study has revealed that the addition of premature atrial contraction (PAC) count to a validated AF risk algorithm provides superior AF risk discrimination. However, it remains unknown whether a combination of clinical, electrocardiographic, and echocardiographic parameters predict the onset of AF. In the present study, we evaluated the predictive value of the combined score including these parameters. Methods: We retrospectively studied 1,040 patients without AF in whom both echocardiography and 24-hour Holter electrocardiography were performed from May 2005 to December 2010 and could be followed thereafter. During the follow-up period of 70.0±29.1 months, we investigated the new onset of AF. Results: Of the 1,040 patients, 103 developed AF. Patients who developed AF were older than patients who did not. Total heart rate, PAC count, max RR interval, and frequency of sinus arrest quantified by 24-hour electrocardiography were associated with the new onset of AF. Left atrial diameter (LAD) determined by echocardiography was also associated with the development of AF. In multivariate Cox analyses, age, PAC count, max RR interval, and LAD were independently associated with the development of AF (multivariable-adjusted hazard ratios per SD: age 1.49, PAC count 1.16, max RR interval 1.21, and LAD 1.34). Furthermore, the predictive value of the combined score using these 4 parameters (hazard ratios per SD: 1.80) was higher than that of each parameter. Conclusion: The combined score using age, PAC count, max RR interval, and LAD could help to identify risk of the new onset of AF.

    Abstract: Background: We have previously demonstrated local persistent hypercoagulation after durable polymer (DP)-sirolimus-eluting stent (SES) implantation by measuring plasma prothrombin fragment 1+2 (F1+2) levels. The aim of this study is to evaluate local coagulative response after newer-generation ultrathin strut SES implantation. Method: Forty-five patients who were treated about 6-12 months earlier with coronary stenting, with no evidence of restenosis, were studied [DP-SES (Cypher): 26pts, biodegradable polymer (BP)-SES (older BP-SES, Ultimaster): 12pts and ultrathin strut BP-SES (newer BP-SES, Orsiro): 7pts]. We measured plasma levels of F1+2 sampled in coronary sinus (CS) and sinus of Valsalva (V). The transcardiac gradient (Δ) was defined as CS level minus V level. Results: No significant difference was observed in the percent diameter stenosis among DP-SES, older BP-SES, and newer BP-SES groups (10.1 ± 16.5 vs 13.1 ± 12.9 vs 12.1 ± 11.9 %). The ΔF1+2 was significantly lower in the BP-SES groups than in the DP-SES group (8.9 ± 10.1 vs 23.4 ± 21.1 pmol/l, p 〈 0.05). The ΔF1+2 was lower in the newer BP-SES group than in the older BP-SES group, however, significant difference was not observed (7.0 ± 7.0 vs 9.7 ± 12.3 pmol/l). Conclusion: Suppressed local coagulative response after newer-generation ultrathin strut SES implantation was observed. These findings might indicate that lower strut thickness is more important factor than faster polymer resorption in the newer-generation DES era.
