Aortic events and relative survival in patients with moderately dilated proximal thoracic aorta
Conclusions. Descending, but not proximal, aortic growth was predictive of lethal events. The decreased relative survival, the substantial number of remote aortic events and aortic deaths strongly suggest continuous serial CT surveillance of the entire aorta. Other indicators than proximal aortic diameter appear needed to improve management of this patient group.PMID:38533578 | DOI:10.1080/14017431.2024.2330345 (Source: Scandinavian Cardiovascular Journal)

Incidence and healing times of postoperative sternal wound infections: a retrospective observational single-centre study
Conclusions: Postoperative sternal wound infections usually appeared several weeks after surgery and were associated with factors as high body mass index, diabetes mellitus and coronary artery bypass. SWI were more common than mediastinitis and often required negative pressure wound therapy and similar treatment time as mediastinitis.PMID:38500294 | DOI:10.1080/14017431.2024.2330349 (Source: Scandinavian Cardiovascular Journal)

Sauna bathing and mortality risk: unraveling the interaction with systolic blood pressure in a cohort of Finnish men
Conclusions: This study reveals a potential interplay between SBP, sauna bathing, and mortality risk in Finnish men. Frequent sauna bathing may mitigate the increased mortality risk associated with elevated SBP.PMID:38410962 | DOI:10.1080/14017431.2024.2302159 (Source: Scandinavian Cardiovascular Journal)
