Identification of novel variants for complicating cardiac disease in the scrub typhus infection using whole genome sequencing
Ki-Woon Kang, Kyung-Won Hong, Seong-Kyu Lee
Korean J Intern Med. 2023;38(6):865-871. Published online November 1, 2023
Background/Aims: Scrub typhus infection has been known to complicate cardiovascular diseases mainly attributing to high mortality. Genetic susceptibility loci for complicating cardiac diseases such as atrial fibrillation, heart failure, and ischemic heart disease identified by genomic study have bee..

Comparative occurrence of ischemic stroke with the rhythm versus rate control strategy in a national prospective cohort of atrial fibrillation
Jae Guk Kim, Young Soo Lee, Ki-Woon Kang, Eue-Keun Choi, Myung-Jin Cha, Jung-Myung Lee, Jin-Bae Kim, Junbeom Park, Jin-Kyu Park, Tae-Hoon Kim, Jae-Sun Uhm, Jaemin Shim, Jun Kim, HyungWook Park, Changsoo Kim, Boyoung Joung
Korean J Intern Med. 2021;36(1):114-123. Published online October 14, 2019
Background/Aims: Comparative occurrence of ischemic stroke for rhythm versus rate control strategy in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) is still inconclusive. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the rhythm control strategy is associated with a lower risk of isch..

A prospective survey of the persistence of warfarin or NOAC in nonvalvular atrial fibrillation: a COmparison study of Drugs for symptom control and complication prEvention of Atrial Fibrillation (CODE-AF)
Hyeongsoo Kim, Young Soo Lee, Tae-Hoon Kim, Myung-Jin Cha, Jung Myung Lee, Junbeom Park, Jin-Kyu Park, Ki-Woon Kang, Jaemin Shim, Jae-Sun Uhm, Hyung Wook Park, Eue-Keun Choi, Jin-Bae Kim, Changsoo Kim, Jun Kim, Boyoung Joung
Korean J Intern Med. 2020;35(1):99-108. Published online April 25, 2019
Background/Aims: Efforts to reduce stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) have focused on increasing physician adherence to oral anticoagulant (OAC) guidelines; however, the high early discontinuation rate of vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) is a limitation. Although non-VKA OACs (NOACs) are m..

Heart rate recovery and diastolic blood pressure ratio on the treadmill test predict an induction and recurrence of vasovagal syncope
Yu Jeong Choi, Ki-Woon Kang, Sang Hyun Jang, Jae Guk Kim, Soo Joo Lee, Kyung Tea Jung
Korean J Intern Med. 2019;34(2):315-323. Published online December 18, 2017
Background/Aims: The induction and recurrence of syncope is a concerning situation that could be unpredicted in the vasovagal syncope (VVS). We investigated a simple predictor for the induced and recurrent VVS during Head-Up table-tilt Test (HUT) and clinically follow-up.
Methods: The 143 consecut..

Predictors of acute myocarditis in complicated scrub typhus: an endemic province in the Republic of Korea
Jung Yeon Chin, Ki-Woon Kang, Kyung Min Moon, Jongwoo Kim, Yu Jeong Choi
Korean J Intern Med. 2018;33(2):323-330. Published online February 23, 2017
Background/Aims: Scrub typhus is known as a self-limited infectious disease. Cardiac complication is uncommon and usually not life-threatening. Until now, few cases of fulminant myocarditis by scrub typhus have been reported. So, we investigated incidence and predictors of acute myocarditis in sever..

Treadmill exercise-induced E/e’ elevation as a predictor of cardiovascular event in end-stage
renal disease on peritoneal dialysis
Jong Ho Shin, Ki-Woon Kang, Jung Ho Kim, Jung Yeon Chin, Nae Yu Kim, Sang Hyun Park, Won Ho Kim, Yu Jeong Choi, Kyung Tae Jung
Received April 13, 2016 Accepted May 13, 2016 Published online November 11, 2016
Background/Aims: Diastolic dysfunction is associated with cardiovascular (CV) events in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). However, conventional measurement of LA volume and E/e’ using Doppler echocardiography has been limited to predict CV events i..
