Primary Aldosteronism
Am Fam Physician. 2023 Sep;108(3):273-277.ABSTRACTPrimary aldosteronism is the underlying cause of hypertension in primary care settings in approximately 6% of cases, and it is even more common in patients with resistant hypertension. However, it is estimated that only about 2% of patients who have risk factors for primary aldosteronism have been formally tested or diagnosed. The first step in the diagnosis of primary aldosteronism is case detection and involves testing patients who are at risk, including individuals with resistant hypertension, as well as those with well-controlled hypertension and a first-degree relative...

Up-to-date advance in the relationship between OSA and stroke: a narrative review
CONCLUSION: Both the onset and recurrence of stroke closely correlated with OSA, but the specific mechanisms remain unclear. Further studies should be carried out to explore effective treatments in patients with stroke and OSA.PMID:37632670 | DOI:10.1007/s11325-023-02904-2

Who needs to be screened for primary aldosteronism?
J Formos Med Assoc. 2023 Aug 24:S0929-6646(23)00335-2. doi: 10.1016/j.jfma.2023.08.021. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe prevalence of patients with primary aldosteronism (PA) is about 5%-15% in hypertensive patients, and it is common cause of secondary hypertension in clinical practice. Two major causes of PA are noted, namely bilateral adrenal hyperplasia and aldosterone-producing adenoma, and the general diagnosis is based on three steps: (1) screening, (2) confirmatory testing, and (3) subtype differentiation (Figure 1). The recommendation for screening patients is at an increased risk of PA, here we focus on which pa...

The J-shape Association between Total Bilirubin and Stroke in Older Patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome: A Multicenter Study
ConclusionsBoth lower and higher bilirubin levels may increase the risk of stroke in older persons with OSAS, and there was a J-type dose-response relationship. The risk of stroke was lowest when the TBil level was approximately 11.5µmol/L.

Sleep apnoea greatly increases risk of stroke, US scientists find
Stanford study shows that people with the common sleep disorder are also five times more likely to develop atrial fibrillationSnoring loudly and feeling tired even after a full night ’s sleep could leave people at an increased risk of a stroke, a study has shown.Hundreds of millions of people globally have sleep apnoea, a disorder with symptoms including stopping and starting breathing, making snorting noises, waking up a lot and loud snoring. Many have the condition but are undiagnosed.Continue reading...

Translation of obstructive sleep apnea pathophysiology and phenotypes to personalized treatment: a narrative review
Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) arises due to periodic blockage of the upper airway (UA) during sleep, as negative pressure generated during inspiration overcomes the force exerted by the UA dilator muscles to maintain patency. This imbalance is primarily seen in individuals with a narrowed UA, attributable to factors such as inherent craniofacial anatomy, neck fat accumulation, and rostral fluid shifts in the supine posture. Sleep-induced attenuation of UA dilating muscle responsiveness, respiratory instability, and high loop gain further exacerbate UA obstruction. The widespread comorbidity profile of OSA, encompassing car...

Association Between Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Cardiovascular Events in Acute Coronary Syndrome Patients With or Without Revascularization - A Prospective Cohort Study
CONCLUSIONS: For patients with ACS, OSA was independently associated with higher risk of recurrent cardiovascular events among patients without revascularization but not among patients undergoing revascularization. The benefits of suitable OSA treatment for patients without revascularization need further investigation.PMID:37612051 | DOI:10.1253/circj.CJ-23-0164

The impact of central and obstructive respiratory events on cerebral oxygenation in adults with sleep disordered breathing
Journal of Innovative Optical Health Sciences, Ahead of Print. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and central sleep apnea (CSA) are two main types of sleep disordered breathing (SDB). While the changes in cerebral hemodynamics triggered by OSA events have been well studied using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), they are essentially unknown in CSA in adults. Therefore, in this study, we compared the changes in cerebral oxygenation between OSA and CSA events in adult patients using NIRS. Cerebral tissue oxygen saturation (StO2) in 13 severe SDB patients who had both CSA and OSA events was measured using frequency-domain NIRS. T...
