“…All selected studies were prospective (5 cohort studies [21,22,[25][26][27]), and 3 were studies primarily designed as randomized control trials for specific drug therapy in CVD patients (23,24,28). Seven studies reported results separately for all-cause and cardiovascular mortality (21,(23)(24)(25)(26)28), 1 for all-cause mortality only (22), and 1 for CVD mortality only (27). With reference to alcohol consumption, all studies were observational.…”

“…In 3 studies (22,26,27) former drinkers were excluded formally from the reference group of life-long abstainers or nondrinkers, whereas in 2 studies, they were not (21,25) (in one of these, the authors performed a sensitivity analysis excluding former drinkers from the reference group (21)); in the remaining 3 studies (23,24,28), no statement about the reference group was made (Table 1).

“…Alcohol intake and mortality for any cause in CVD patients. Seven studies (21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)28), comprising 16,398 patients with previous CVD (Tables 1 and 2), provided 9 dose-response independent relationships for alcohol intake and mortality from any cause. In this meta-analysis, too, publication bias was absent (Fig.…”

“…On the other hand, for other people with cardiovascular disease, alcohol in moderation was recognized. However, in elderly patients with old myocardial infarcts, alcohol consumption and reinfarction were associated with sudden death [23], so it is important for patients with old myocardial infarcts to be heavily encouraged to give up. Moreover, compliance with a sodium-restricted diet was also an important factor because it related to deteriorating symptoms of CHF [13].…”

Aim: Although numerous studies of disease management and case management of chronic heart failure (CHF) have been carried out, length of effectiveness after program commencement has not been examined, so we examined a follow-up study at 36 months after program commencement. Methods: Participants went for follow-up visits to one Japanese clinic which specializes in internal cardiovascular medicine and they were given diagnoses of CHF. 104 outpatients participated in this study and randomized control trial was implemented. An educational program was implemented for 6 months. The data were collected at baseline, 3, 6, 9, 12 months from both intervention and control groups and at 24 and 36 months from the intervention group. Results: There was significant improvement in New York Heart Association (NYHA) in the intervention group between baseline and 36 months. Improvement in weight monitoring and activities or exercise in the intervention group continued up to 36 months. Meanwhile, sodium restricted diets and quitting smoking and/or drinking depended on individual preference and it was difficult to make improvements in these areas. Conclusions: The educational program showed promise in preventing CHF outpatients from deteriorating significantly on a long-term basis as self-monitoring of activity and weight continued significantly and there were no participants with CHF who deteriorated in the intervention group at 36 months after program commencement, although the program aimed only to provide illness and self-management knowledge. On the other hand, future work will need to compare participants in this program to a control group over an extended period of time with consideration for relieving the burden of the control group.

Objective: We evaluated the relationship of coronary plaque characteristics including the plaque color with the long-term clinical outcomes in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Methods: Consecutive 339 ACS patients treated with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) were enrolled in the present study. The culprit lesions were examined by coronary angioscopy and were divided into three groups: thick yellow plaque: TYP, yellow plaque: YP, white plaque: WP. Major adverse cardiac event (MACE) was defined as the composite of cardiovascular death, nonfatal acute myocardial infarction (AMI), unstable angina (UAP), heart failure admission, and the need for PCI or coronary artery bypass grafting. Results: TYP and ruptured plaque were observed in AMI more frequently than in UAP. Among the three groups of plaque color, baseline clinical characteristics was similar except lower body mass index and LDL-cholesterol level in WP group. In contrast to YP group, TYP group showed more ruptured plaques, and WP group showed less ruptured or eroded plaques. During the median follow-up of 3.5 years, the incidence of MACE was reduced in TYP group and similar between WP and YP groups by Kaplan-Meier analysis. An increased incidence of UAP and a trend of increased target vessel revascularization were observed in WP group. Conclusions: In ACS patients with PCI, the TYP in culprit lesions was independently associated with the long-term favorable prognosis and the WP independently predicted with high incidence of UAP. These relationships might provide new insights for prevention of the secondary cardiac events after ACS.
