Abstract

Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: Foundation. Main funding source(s): British Heart Foundation Introduction Cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT) in the form of His bundle CRT and left bundle area CRT can be more effective than the gold standard, biventricular pacing (BVP). In BVP scar burden is known to predict response whether this is true for these novel modalities is not known. Purpose The purpose of this study was to determine whether left ventricular scar burden assessed using cardiac MRI can be used to predict the electrical and acute haemodynamic response to two novel CRT modalities. Methods Patients with standard CRT indications were recruited. They underwent a pre-procedure cardiac MRI, with late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) to quantify scar. His bundle CRT (His CRT) and left bundle area CRT (LBA CRT) were attempted. The electrical response was measured using high precision non-invasive mapping ECGi (CardioInsight, Medtronic). The haemodynamic response was measured with a high precision protocol. We investigated the impact of scar and baseline electrical characteristic on ECGi and haemodynamic response. Results 26 patients were recruited (85% male, mean age 69 ± 10, with ischaemic cardiomyopathy in 35%). LGE was observed in 96% of cases and the mean (range 1-39%). We found a significant correlation between scar extent and the electrical response with both modalities. There was a significant correlation between a lower scar burden and better electrical response. For His CRT the reduction in left ventricular activation time was better with lower scar burden (R= 0.77, p < 0.01, Picture 1), for LBA CRT for reduction in left ventricular activation was also better with lower scar burden (R = 0.53, p = 0.05, Picture 2). With His CRT there was also a significant correlation between lower scar extent and better acute haemodynamic response ( R = 0.6, p = 0.002) but this was not observed with LBA CRT (R = 0.07, p = 0.77). Conclusion Left ventricular myocardial scar can be used to predict the electrical response to two different conduction system CRT modalities.

Abstract

An aerosol-coupled global nonhydrostatic model with a stretched-grid system has been developed. Circulations over the global and target domains are simulated with a single model, which includes fine meshes covering the target region to calculate meso-scale circulations. The stretched global model involves lower computational costs to simulate atmospheric aerosols with fine horizontal resolutions compared with a global uniform nonhydrostatic model, whereas it may require higher computational costs compared with the general regional models, because the stretched-grid system calculates inside and outside the target domain. As opposed to general regional models, the stretched-grid system requires neither a nesting technique nor lateral boundary conditions. In this study, we developed a new-type regional model for the simulation of aerosols over Japan, especially in the Kanto areas surrounding Tokyo, with a maximum horizontal resolution of approximately 10 km. This model usually reproduces temporal variations and their averages of the observed weather around Japan. This model generally reproduces monthly mean distributions of the observed sulfate and SO2 over East Asia, with high correlations (R > 0.6), but the underestimation of the simulated concentrations by 40% (sulfate) and 50% (SO2). Their underestimation of the simulated sulfate and SO2 concentrations over East Asia are strongly affected by their underestimation in China and possibly by the uncertainty of the simulated precipitation around Japan. In the Kanto area, this model succeeds in simulating the wind patterns and the diurnal transitions around the center of the Kanto area, although it is inadequate to simulate the wind patterns and the diurnal transitions at some sites located at the edge of the Kanto area and surrounded on three sides by mountains, e.g., Maebashi, mainly due to the insufficient horizontal resolution. This model also generally reproduces both diurnal and synoptic variations of the observed and/or a regional aerosol-transport model, WRF-CMAQ, simulated EC, sulfate, and SO2 concentrations in the Kanto area, especially with their high correlation (R > 0.5) at Komae/Tokyo. Although the aerosol module used in this study is relatively simplified compared to the general regional aerosol models, this study reveals that our proposed model with the stretched-grid system can be applicable for the regional aerosol simulation.

Abstract

Background Hypertensive disorders in pregnancy are major causes of maternal and foetal morbidity and have also been associated with long-term maternal risk of cardiovascular diseases. Whilst many retrospective and prospective cohort studies have explored this relationship, it is difficult to make causal inferences from observational studies due to potential residual confounding and bias. Leveraging genetic data predisposing to exposures and outcomes in instrumental variable analysis, Mendelian randomisation (MR) can provide valuable information for causal inference. The aim of this study is to use MR to investigate the relationship between hypertensive disorders in pregnancy and cardiovascular diseases. Methods Uncorrelated single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were selected as instrumental variables from the FinnGen consortium summary statistics for the exposures of any hypertensive disorder in pregnancy, and its two subgroups of gestational hypertension, and pre-eclampsia or eclampsia. Genetic association estimates for outcomes were extracted from GWAS studies of 122,733 for coronary artery disease, 34,217 cases for ischaemic stroke, 47,309 cases for heart failure and 60,620 cases for atrial fibrillation. All studies included patients predominantly of European ancestry. Primary analysis was conducted using inverse-variance weighted MR. Results Hypertensive disorders in pregnancy were associated with increased risk of coronary artery disease (odds ratio (OR) 1.24; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.08–1.43; p=0.002); and this association was evident for both gestational hypertension (OR= 1.08; 95% CI: 1.00–1.17; p=0.040) and pre- or eclampsia (OR=1.06; 95% CI: 1.01–1.12; p=0.030). Hypertensive disorders in pregnancy were also associated with increased risk of ischaemic stroke (OR=1.27; 95% CI: 1.12–1.44; p=2.87x10–4). Neither gestational hypertension nor pre-eclampsia were independently associated with increased risk of ischaemic stroke, though effect estimates were consistent in direction. No associations were noted between the three hypertensive disorders in pregnancy and the outcomes of heart failure or atrial fibrillation. Conclusions Our findings provide genetic evidence that supports a likely causal association between hypertension in pregnancy and increased risk of coronary artery disease and stroke. This is consistent with observational evidence and supports the classification of hypertensive disorders in pregnancy as risk factors for cardiovascular disease.

Abstract

Background Cardiovascular disease is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in women. Multiple observational studies have explored the role of female reproductive history on the risk of cardiovascular disease and suggested that factors such as high parity and early menarche are associated with higher rates of cardiovascular disease later in life. However, effect estimates derived from observational studies are liable to influence by residual confounding and bias in study design. We utilise Mendelian randomisation to explore causal pathways underlying this association by leveraging genetic variability in reproductive factors using instrumental variable analysis. Methods Uncorrelated single nucleotide polymorphisms (r22 live births), age at menarche (n=329,345, unit = years) and age at menopause (n=106,048, unit = years). Genetic association estimates for the outcomes of coronary artery disease, ischaemic stroke, stroke of any type, heart failure and atrial fibrillation were extracted from GWAS analyses on respectively 122,733 cases, 34,217 cases, 40,585 cases, 47,309 cases and 60,620 cases. All GWAS studies were on populations of predominantly European ancestry. Inverse-variance weighted MR was utilised for primary analyses; sensitivity analyses using MR-Egger and weighted median MR were carried out. Results Earlier age at first birth was associated with increased risk of coronary artery disease (OR per 1-year lower age = 1.49, 95% CI 1.28–1.74, p2 live births = 2.91, 95% CI 1.16–7.29, p=0.023), increased risk of heart failure (OR 1.90, 95% CI 1.28–2.82, p=0.001), increased risk of ischaemic stroke (OR 2.07, 95% CI 1.22–3.52, p=0.007) and of stroke of any type (OR 1.86, 95% CI 1.03–3.37, p=0.039). Conclusion The results of this study support the emerging evidence of female-specific risk factors for cardiovascular disease, by demonstrating that that earlier age at first birth, higher number of live births, and earlier menarche are all associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity in women. The results notably highlight parity as a major sex-specific risk factor of likely causal relevance. These findings support the inclusion of reproductive history in the routine evaluation of cardiovascular risk in females and identify key markers of risk that may be used to target primary prevention measures.

Abstract

To obtain information on prescription pattern of antipsychotic drugs for schizophrenic in-patients treated in public hospitals in Hong Kong. Four main areas of antipsychotic treatment are reported in this paper: (1) doses of antipsychotic drugs, (2) the practice of giving multiple antipsychotic agents simultaneously, (3) use of antipsychotics in divided daily doses and (4) co-administration of antipsychotic and antiparkinson drugs.A cross-sectional survey of prescriptions of antipsychotic medication for a representative sample of 957 schizophrenic in-patients was conducted on a randomly chosen census day. Questionnaire items included basic demographic and clinical data, as well as inventory for all medications received by patients on census day.The mean antipsychotic dose was 854 +/- 759 (median: 600; range) 0-4450) mg CPZeq. Over two-third of the patients were given more than drug concurrently while less than 20% received the medication in multiple divided doses. Antiparkinson drugs were prescribed with antipsychotic medication in 69.61%, of the subjects. There were few differences between acute and chronic patients with respect to their respective prescription patterns.Antipsychotic treatment of schizophrenic inpatients in Hong Kong is largely in accord with international standards. Problematic areas identified for closer scrutiny include the concurrent use of more than one antipsychotic drug for both acute and chronic patients, and the higher than recommended doses for antipsychotic drugs and frequent use of antiparkinson medication for chronic patients. Dissemination of these results, accompanied by continuing medical education about psychopharmacology, are planned to further improve the quality of treatment for schizophrenic patients.

Abstract

Cross-sectional surveys of prescription patterns of psychotropic drugs provide a quick, global estimation of the appropriateness of psychopharmacotherapy. Recurrent inadequacies in prescribing for psychiatric patients include polypharmacy, high doses of antipsychotics (APS), the use of multiple APS simultaneously, and the administration of these drugs in nniltiple divided doses. Faulty prescribing patterns are difficult to amend. Following a survey in a rehabilitation facility for chronic psychiatric patients, a systematic education program and other measures were introduced to improve prescribing habits. Two years later the survey was repeated. Significant improvements were detected in the following areas: reductions in the doses of APS and antiparkinsonian (AP) drugs, reductions in the number of patients placed on these drugs, and reductions in the percentage of patients receiving multiple antipsychotics simultaneously. Despite these reductions in doses of psychotropic agents, patients' rehabilitative potential was not compromised.
