BACKGROUND: The precise details of atrial activation around the triangle of Koch (ToK) remain unknown. We evaluated the relationship between the atrial-activation pattern around the ToK and success sites for slow-pathway (SP) modification ablation...

Lack of the typical nocturnal blood pressure (BP) fall, i.e non-dipper, has been known as a cardiovascular risk. However, the influence of non-dipper on atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence after pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) has been unclear. We ...

In Asian populations, a high prevalence of stroke, high salt intake and high salt sensitivity, the effects of which are partly augmented by epidemic obesity, are associated with hypertension. These factors are closely associated with resistant hyp...
In ambulatory blood pressure (BP) monitoring, nighttime BP has a superior ability to predict hypertensive target organ damage than awake BP. We evaluated whether nighttime BP, assessed by a home BP monitor, was associated with hypertensive target ...

Objective: Recently, visit-to-visit blood pressure (BP) variability has been shown to be associated with silent cerebral injury and stroke. However, the relationships between visit-to-visit BP variation and cognitive function are not clear.

Day-by-day home blood pressure (BP) variability (BPV) was reported to be associated with increased cardiovascular risk. We aimed to test the hypothesis that the angiotensin II receptor blocker/calcium-channel blocker combination decreases day-by-d...
