BRIEF BIOGRAPHY: While Prof. Dr. Yukio Ozaki is an interventional cardiologist having specialty in the field of acute myocardial infarction (Ozaki Y. et al; CVIT expert consensus document on primary PCI for AMI in 2018. Cardiovasc Interv Ther. 2018;33:178-203), coronary imaging such as OCT, IVUS, NIRS, angioscopy, CT angiography as well as structural heart disease (SHD). While Dr. Yukio Ozaki is the first Japanese fellow under the supervision of Prof. Patrick W. Serruys in the Thoraxcenter Erasmus University Rotterdam, he defended his thesis entitled “Clinical Application of IVUS and QCA to Assess PCI and Atherosclerosis” at Erasmus University Rotterdam. Based on his Rotterdam experience, Prof. Dr. Yukio Ozaki proposed for the first time that intact fibrous cap ACS (IFC-ACS) by OCT and angioscopy would be plaque erosion (EHJ 2011), reported firstly integrated backscatter IVUS defined thin cap fibroatheroma (TCFA) in comparison with OCT (Circ J 2015), initially examine the fate of incomplete stent apposition (ISA) in DES by OCT (EHJ 2010). While Yukio Ozaki, Sadako Motoyama and Jagat Narula initially reported that positive remodeling (PR) and low attenuation plaque (LAP) are crucial factors in ACS lesions by CT angiography, they published these features could predict the occurrence of future ACS and play a role in the long-term prognosis for the first time (JACC 2007, JACC 2009 & JACC 2015). Subsequently, Dr. Ozaki’s CITATION INDEX has reached 7,214 by Pure System in Elsevier in December 2019.

It is known that incidence and short-term mortality rate of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) tend to be higher in the cold season. The aim of our study was to investigate the association of onset-season with patient characteristics and long-term ...

This study evaluated whether radial access intervention had a lower risk of post-treatment adverse events in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) even in Japan where the use of a strong antithrombotic regimen was not approved. We retrospectively analyzed...

Soluble forms of platelet membrane proteins are released upon platelet activation. We previously reported that soluble C-type lectin-like receptor 2 (sCLEC-2) is released as a shed fragment (Shed CLEC-2) or as a whole molecule associated with plat...

High levels of blood urea nitrogen (BUN) have been demonstrated to significantly predict poor prognosis in patients with acute decompensated heart failure. However, this relationship has not been fully investigated in patients with acute myocardia...
Background: Limitations of coronary computed tomography (CTA) include false-positive stenosis at calcified lesions and assessment of in-stent patency. A prototype of ultra-high resolution computed tomography (U-HRCT: 1,792 channels and 0.25-mm sli...
Background: The association between patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) who present during off-hours and clinical outcomes has not been fully elucidated.
Methods: We investigated 3283 consecutive patients with AMI who were selected fro...
