Influences of age and gender on results of noninvasive brachial–ankle pulse wave velocity measurement—a survey of 12 517 subjects

TL;DR: Menopause seems to be the crucial phenomenon to explain the augmented increase in arterial stiffness with aging in females, and baPWV was lower in females than in males until age 60, and became similar in both genders over age 60.
Journal ArticleDOI

Brachial-Ankle Pulse Wave Velocity is a Simple and Independent Predictor of Prognosis in Patients With Acute Coronary Syndrome

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined whether brachial ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) is a predictor of cardiovascular events in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS).
Journal ArticleDOI

Alpha B-crystallin mutation in dilated cardiomyopathy

TL;DR: Observations suggest that the Arg157His mutation may be involved in the pathogenesis of DCM via impaired accommodation to the heart-specific N2B domain of titin/connectin and its disease-causing mechanism is different from the mutation found in desmin-related myopathy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparative value of brain perfusion SPECT and [123I]MIBG myocardial scintigraphy in distinguishing between dementia with Lewy bodies and Alzheimer’s disease

TL;DR: MIBG myocardial scintigraphy may improve the sensitivity in the detection ofDLB and provide a powerful differential diagnostic tool when it is difficult to distinguish cases of DLB from AD using brain perfusion SPECT.
Journal ArticleDOI

Correlation between thallium-201 myocardial perfusion defects and the functional severity of coronary artery stenosis as assessed by pressure-derived myocardial fractional flow reserve.

TL;DR: The results suggest that the FFR has a significant relationship with scintigraphic evidence of myocardial ischemia and can be regarded as a marker of its presence or absence in patients in actual clinical settings.
