概要: 金沢大学医薬保健研究域医学系<br />Background: Although fragmented QRS complex (frag-QRS) reflecting intra-ventricular conduction delay has been shown to be a prognostic marker for cardiac events, few data exist regarding the impact of frag-QRS on cardiac events in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM).Methods and Results: Ninety-four HCM patients (56 male; mean age, 58}17 years) were retrospectively investigated. Frag-QRS was defined as the presence of various RsR’ patterns in at least 2 contiguous ECG leads. Major arrhythmic events (MAE) were defined as sudden cardiac death, and combined sustained ventricular tachycardia/ventricular fibrillation. New-onset atrial fibrillation (AF) was diagnosed based on ECG during provisional or routine medical examination. Heart failure (HF) with hospitalization was defined as hospital admission due to subjective or objective symptoms. Frag-QRS was detected in 31 patients (33%). TNNI3 was the most frequent disease-causing gene. Median follow-up was 4.6 years. The 4-year cumulative survival rates of cardiac death, MAE, new-onset AF and HF with hospitalization were 97.6%, 94.6%, 87.5% and 89.3%, respectively. On multivariate analysis, frag-QRS was significantly associated with HF with hospitalization (adjusted hazard ratios [95% confidence intervals]: 5.4 [1.2–36], P=0.03). Moreover, HF-free survival was significantly lower in the frag-QRS (+) group compared to the frag-QRS (–) group (79.0% vs. 95.1%, P=0.03).Conclusions: Frag-QRS is associated with HF with hospitalization in HCM patients who had a unique distribution of gene mutations. © 2014, The Japanese Circulation Society<br />出版者照会後に全文公開 続きを見る

概要: 金沢大学医薬保健研究域医学系<br />Aim: The commonly observed relationship between increased visceral adiposity and metabolic abnormali ties may be partly mediated by a concomitant increase in liver fat content. We evaluated the independent association between the level of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) as a surrogate marker of the liver fat content and the incidence of metabolic abnormalities after adjusting for the amount of visceral adipose tissue (AT). Methods: The subjects included 1,118 Japanese individuals (44% women) who underwent computed tomography to assess the amount of visceral AT on medical checkups. Cross-sectional associations between the serum ALT, visceral AT and metabolic risk factors were examined. Results: The ALT level and visceral AT were found to show a significant correlation (r =0.41 in men and r =0.36 in women, p<0.001). In a multivariable linear regression analysis, the ALT level and visceral AT were found to be independently associated with blood pressure in men and triglycerides and 2-hour post-challenge glucose in both genders (p<0.01), whereas only visceral AT was found to be associated with HDL-cholesterol (p<0.01). When the participants were classified into four subgroups based on the 75th percentiles of ALT and visceral AT, the low-ALT/high-visceral AT group, but not the high-ALT/low-visceral AT group, had a significantly higher odds ratio for low HDL-cholesterol among both genders (p<0.05) and for hypertriglyceridemia in men only (p<0.05). Meanwhile, the high-ALT/low-visceral AT group, but not the low-ALT/high-visceral AT group, had a significantly higher odds ratio for IGT among women (p<0.05). Conclusions: Although the ALT level and visceral AT were found to be independently associated with most metabolic risk factors, visceral AT had a dominant association with dyslipidemia in both genders, while the ALT level appeared to have a closer association with IGT in women.<br />出版者照会後に全文公開 続きを見る
