Journal ArticleDOI

Yoshinosuke Fukuchi,Masaharu Nishimura,Masakazu Ichinose,Mitsuru Adachi,Atsushi Nagai,Takayuki Kuriyama,Keiji Takahashi,Koichi Nishimura,Shinichi Ishioka,Hisamichi Aizawa,Carol A. Zaher +10 more
TL;DR: The Nippon COPD Epidemiology (NICE) Study used spirometry to measure prevalence of airflow limitation in Japanese adults and found that smoking rates in Japan are high and prevalence of COPD is high.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cost impact of COPD in Japan: opportunities and challenges?
Shuzo Nishimura,Carol A. Zaher +1 more
TL;DR: The Global Initiative for Obstructive Lung Disease highlights the importance of COPD from public health, health policy and clinical perspectives and there is a paucity of data on the economic burden of COPd in Japan.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mode of stimulation versus response: Validation of a protocol for induction of ventricular tachycardia
Daniel S. Oseran,Daniel S. Oseran,Eli S. Gang,Eli S. Gang,Angas W. Hamer,Angas W. Hamer,Carol A. Zaher,Carol A. Zaher,Mark E. Rosenthal,Mark E. Rosenthal,William J. Mandel,William J. Mandel,Thomas Peter,Thomas Peter +13 more
TL;DR: Electrophysiologic studies were prospectively performed in 91 consecutive patients referred for evaluation of sustained ventricular tachycardia or sudden cardiac death and found inducible monomorphic vents were inducibles in 48 of the 52 patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Patterns of care for COPD by Japanese physicians.
TL;DR: This study evaluated the clinical care of COPD patients in Japan as compared to guideline recommendations, finding that COPD treatment guidelines are available worldwide, yet it is not known how widely they are followed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hemodynamic benefits of synchronized 1:1 atrial pacing during sustained ventricular tachycardia with severely depressed ventricular function in coronary heart disease.
Angas W. Hamer,Angas W. Hamer,Carol A. Zaher,Carol A. Zaher,Stanley A. Rubin,Stanley A. Rubin,Thomas Peter,Thomas Peter,William J. Mandel,William J. Mandel +9 more
TL;DR: Evidence from pressure recordings suggested that optimal atrial pacing resulted in atrial contraction in early left ventricular diastole, which can result in significant increases in blood pressure and a consistent increase in cardiac index.
