1.
Effects of 6-month eicosapentaenoic acid treatment on postprandial hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia, insulin secretion ability, and concomitant endothelial dysfunction among newly-diagnosed impaired glucose metabolism patients with coronary artery...
Sawada T, Tsubata H, Hashimoto N, Takabe M, Miyata T, Aoki K, et al.
Cardiovasc Diabetol . 2016 Aug; 15(1):121. PMID: 27565734
Background: Recent experimental studies have revealed that n-3 fatty acids, such as eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) regulate postprandial insulin secretion, and correct postprandial glucose and lipid abnormalities. However, the effects of...

Efficacy of bilateral thoracoscopic sympathectomy in a patient with catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia
Okajima K, Kiuchi K, Yokoi K, Teranishi J, Aoki K, Shimane A, et al.
J Arrhythm . 2016 Mar; 32(1):62-6. PMID: 26949433
A 27-year-old woman with frequent implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) shocks related to catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (VT) experienced aborted sudden death due to incessant polymorphic VT despite the administration of...

Impact of esophageal temperature monitoring guided atrial fibrillation ablation on preventing asymptomatic excessive transmural injury
Kiuchi K, Okajima K, Shimane A, Kanda G, Yokoi K, Teranishi J, et al.
J Arrhythm . 2016 Mar; 32(1):36-41. PMID: 26949429
Background: Even with the use of a reduced energy setting (20-25 W), excessive transmural injury (ETI) following catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF) is reported to develop in 10% of...

A case of inappropriate implantable cardioverter defibrillator therapy induced by T-wave oversensing due to hyperkalemia
Aoki K, Okajima K, Kiuchi K, Yokoi K, Teranishi J, Shimane A
J Arrhythm . 2015 Dec; 31(6):395-7. PMID: 26702322
There have been reports of hyperkalemia-induced T-wave oversensing in patients with implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs). However, a comparison of T-wave amplitudes and morphologies between the surface 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) and...
5.
Coexistence of persistent left superior vena cava with common inferior pulmonary vein in a patient with atrial fibrillation
Kiuchi K, Okajima K, Takahashi Y, Yokoi K, Shimane A
J Arrhythm . 2015 Sep; 31(4):252-4. PMID: 26336571
Coexistence of a persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC) with a common inferior pulmonary vein (CIPV) is very rare. The electrical assessment of those thoracic veins was performed during the...

Acquisition of the pulmonary venous and left atrial anatomy with non-contrast-enhanced MRI for catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation: Usefulness of two-dimensional balanced steady-state free precession
Shigenaga Y, Kiuchi K, Okajima K, Ikeuchi K, Ikeda T, Shimane A, et al.
J Arrhythm . 2015 Sep; 31(4):189-95. PMID: 26336558
Background: Usually, the pulmonary venous and left atrial (PV-LA) anatomy is assessed with contrast-enhanced computed tomographic imaging for catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF). A non-contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance (MR) imaging...

Visualization of the radiofrequency lesion after pulmonary vein isolation using delayed enhancement magnetic resonance imaging fused with magnetic resonance angiography
Kiuchi K, Okajima K, Shimane A, Yokoi K, Teranishi J, Aoki K, et al.
J Arrhythm . 2015 Sep; 31(3):152-8. PMID: 26336549
Background: The radiofrequency (RF) lesions for atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation can be visualized by delayed enhancement magnetic resonance imaging (DE-MRI). However, the quality of anatomical information provided by DE-MRI is...

Visualizing radiofrequency lesions using delayed-enhancement magnetic resonance imaging in patients with atrial fibrillation: A modification of the method used by the University of Utah group
Kiuchi K, Okajima K, Shimane A, Yokoi K, Teranishi J, Aoki K, et al.
J Arrhythm . 2015 Sep; 31(2):71-5. PMID: 26336534
Background: Atrial tissue fibrosis has previously been identified using delayed-enhancement MRI (DE-MRI) in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). Although the clinical importance of DE-MRI is well recognized, the visualization of...
