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..

In-Jeong Cho, Jae-Sun Uhm, Jaewon Oh, Jong-Ho Nam, Hee Tae Yu, Taehoon Kim, Boyoung Joung, Seok-Min Kang
Korean J Intern Med. 2020;35(5):1125-1135. Published online February 6, 2020
Background/Aims: The current study aimed to elucidate a time-course change in left atrial volume after cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) and to verify factors associated with left atrial volume reduction (LAVR) and its prognostic implications.
Methods: The records of 97 patients were retrospe..

Byung Gyu Kim, Jae-Sun Uhm, Pil-Sung Yang, Hee Tae Yu, Tae-Hoon Kim, Boyoung Joung, Hui-Nam Pak, Song Yee Kim, Moo Suk Park, Jin Gu Lee, Hyo Chae Paik, Moon-Hyoung Lee
Korean J Intern Med. 2020;35(4):897-905. Published online November 25, 2019
Background/Aims: Atrial arrhythmia (AA) occasionally occurs after lung transplantation (LT); however, risk factors for AA and their impact on clinical outcomes are inconsistent. We aimed to investigate the incidence, predisposing factors, and clinical outcomes of AA after LT.
Methods: We retrospect..

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..

Olmesartan is not associated with the risk of enteropathy: a Korean nationwide observational
cohort study
Seng Chan You, Hojun Park, Dukyong Yoon, Sooyoung Park, Boyoung Joung, Rae Woong Park
Korean J Intern Med. 2019;34(1):90-98. Published online November 27, 2017
Background/Aims: Olmesartan, a widely used angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB), has been linked to sprue-like enteropathy. No cases of olmesartan-associated enteropathy have been reported in Northeast Asia. We investigated the associations between olmesartan and other ARBs and the incidence of ent..

Clinical significance of changes in the corrected QT interval in stress-induced cardiomyopathy
Jung-Hee Lee, Jae-Sun Uhm, Dong Geum Shin, Boyoung Joung, Hui-Nam Pak, Young-Guk Ko, Geu-Ru Hong, Moon-Hyoung Lee
Korean J Intern Med. 2016;31(3):507-516. Published online April 7, 2016
Background/Aims: Although transient changes in the electrocardiogram (ECG) of patients with stress-induced cardiomyopathy (SCMP) are common, there are little data about ECG changes in patients with SCMP and the clinical implications of these variations.
Methods: We investigated a total of 128 pati..
