B-type natriuretic peptide and C-reactive protein in the prediction of atrial fibrillation risk: the CHARGE-AF Consortium of community-based cohort studies.

Europace, 2014
AIMS B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and C-reactive protein (CRP) predict atrial fibrillation (AF) risk. However, their risk stratification abilities in the broad community remain uncertain.

Development of a population pharmacokinetic model using combined paediatric and adult data for four pulmonary arterial hypertension drugs

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a syndrome characterized by elevated pulmonary artery pressure. We developed a population pharmacokinetic (PPK) model using combined plasma drug concentration data from Japanese paediatric (<15 years) and adult (≥15 years) patients with PAH to investigate the pharmacokinetic characteristics of PAH ...

The Impact of a Visualized Steerable Sheath on Radiofrequency Catheter Ablation for First‐Time Atrial Fibrillation Ablation: A Prospective, Randomized, Single‐Blind Study

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background A 3D electroanatomical mapping (3D‐EAM) visualized steerable sheath was designed to improve catheter placement and reduce radiation exposure during ablation, an established treatment for atrial fibrillation (AF). However, prospective randomized data comparing the procedural and clinical outcomes of visualized and non‐visualized ...

Lower AKI Risk and Higher Survival With Microaxial Flow Pump Support During Elective PCI: A Propensity Score‐Matched Study

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Acute kidney injury (AKI) is associated with worse outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Previous, smaller studies suggested nephroprotective effects of micro‐axial flow pump (mAFP) during PCI. This study aimed to compare renal outcomes of high‐risk PCI with mAFP or intraaortic balloon pump (IABP) support.

The High‐Sensitivity C‐Reactive Protein−Albumin−Lymphocyte Index Is a Prognostic Marker for All‐Cause and Cardiovascular Mortality in Patients With ST‐Elevation Myocardial Infarction

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Inflammation and immune dysfunction may worsen the prognosis of patients with ST‐segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Aims This study aimed to assess whether the high‐sensitivity C‐reactive protein–albumin–lymphocyte index (hsCALLYI) could be used to predict the prognosis of STEMI patients who received emergency ...

Corin in Natriuretic Peptide Processing and Hypertension

Current Hypertension Reports, 2014
Corin is a serine protease originally isolated from the heart. Functional studies show that corin is the long-sought enzyme responsible for activating cardiac natriuretic peptides.

Evidence for a novel natriuretic peptide receptor that prefers brain natriuretic peptide over atrial natriuretic peptide

Biochemical Journal, 2001
Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) exert their physiological actions by binding to natriuretic peptide receptor A (NPRA), a receptor guanylate cyclase (rGC) that synthesizes cGMP in response to both ligands. The family of rGCs is rapidly expanding, and it is plausible that there might be additional, as yet undiscovered,

Clinical Outcomes of Drug‐Eluting Stents and Drug‐Coated Balloons in Tortuous Small Coronary Lesions

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background In small, tortuous coronary lesions, the long‐term comparative performance of drug‐coated balloon (DCB) angioplasty versus drug‐eluting stent (DES) treatment remains uncertain, despite both strategies being widely used in contemporary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) practice. Aims This study aimed to compare 3‐year clinical
