Heart Failure Regional Healthcare Collaboration Endowed Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that collects heart failure data and aims to build a clinical care system supported by the community.

AboutAbout the lab
Supporting heart failure care through regional collaboration
The Endowed Lab for Regional Healthcare Collaboration in Heart Failure was established in April 2023 and aims to build a new model of heart failure care.
Among cardiovascular diseases, the number of heart failure patients is rising rapidly, and preventing its onset and worsening is considered extremely important.
In Miyagi Prefecture, where the population is aging, the lab aims to collect heart failure case data, building on a network of affiliated hospitals centered on Tohoku University.
The lab's introduction page is within the website of the Department of Cardiovascular Medicine at Tohoku University Hospital.
Key terms
- Integrated cardiovascular platform
- A foundation for regional collaboration that collects laboratory test data, findings reports, and medical histories, with clinical imaging and physiological test data added
- Cardiac implantable electronic devices
- Devices such as pacemakers and implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs). Biological information is remotely monitored in real time over long periods
- NT-proBNP
- One of the biomarkers of heart failure. Guidelines recommend 125 pg/mL as the reference value
ResearchResearch themes
The regional healthcare environment surrounding cardiovascular care is entering a period of major change, with the differentiation of hospital functions, the promotion of healthcare ICT, and the introduction of telemedicine. The lab collects heart failure case data while aiming to build a new model of heart failure care.
*Illustrative imageBuilding the foundation of an integrated cardiovascular platform
The lab aims to develop the foundation of an "integrated cardiovascular platform" that contributes to regional collaboration. To existing systems holding laboratory test data, findings reports, and medical histories, it will add clinical imaging data and physiological test data, collected on an exploratory basis.
Predicting arrhythmia and heart failure onset with AI
Using biological information remotely monitored from cardiac implantable electronic devices, the lab is developing prediction algorithms with artificial intelligence. It is also exploring the clinical usefulness of intervention programs.
Early prediction of heart failure with biobank data
Based on the Tohoku Medical Megabank database, the lab conducted research aimed at developing a model that uses AI to predict the onset of heart failure at a very early stage. Using the NT-proBNP reference value, it has also begun a survey of actual heart failure onset.
