Validation of cardiac MR parameters in the assessment of pulmonary hemodynamics
Conclusions: In our prospective cohort, the literature-based formulas for calculation of PAP and PVR based on CMR-based measures could largely be validated. The best correlations were derived from multiparametric formulas including right ventricular ejection fraction.

Con: continuous positive airway pressure and cardiovascular prevention
For the last two decades, evidence has been mounting that obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) may be a cause of cardiovascular disease (CVD). OSA causes repeated acute falls in nocturnal arterial blood oxygen saturation, and rises in blood pressure and heart rate. These physiological changes, combined with the acute mechanical stress placed on the heart from the often very large negative pleural pressure swings during obstructed breathing, were postulated to provide the substrate necessary to induce acute events such as myocardial infarction, arrhythmias, acute heart failure, stroke and sudden cardiovascular death. Observationa...

Association between insomnia and type 2 diabetes mellitus in Han Chinese individuals in Shandong Province, China
ConclusionsThis study suggests that insomnia is independently and significantly associated with diabetes mellitus in the northern Chinese population, especially in the 40 –59-year-old age group and in males.

Treatment of obstructive sleep apnoea as primary or secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease: where do we stand now?
Purpose of review The aim of this study was to provide an update of the primary and secondary prevention of obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) treatment on cardiovascular disease. Recent findings Consistent evidence suggest that OSA can contribute to cardiovascular diseases, including hypertension, atrial fibrillation, coronary artery disease and stroke. In patients with no previous history of cardiovascular events (primary prevention scenario), observational studies suggest that continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), the main treatment for OSA, is able to prevent hypertension incidence and to decrease nonfatal cardi...

Right ventricular size and contractile reserve significantly correlate in patients with pulmonary hypertension
Conclusion: RV and RA area represent valuable and easily accessible indicators of RV pump function during exercise and might therefore be used for non-invasive estimation of right ventricular contractile reserve. CIPeak should be considered as an important clinical parameter. Prospective studies are needed for further evaluation.

Obstructive sleep apnoea and coronary artery disease.
Authors: Mandal S, Kent BD Abstract Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is a highly prevalent disorder, which causes significant nocturnal and daytime symptoms, reduced quality of life, and impaired functional capacity. Importantly, however, OSA also appears to predispose to the development of a number of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases, including diabetes, hypertension, and stroke. In this review we explore its relationship with coronary artery disease (CAD), discussing mechanisms whereby it may promote the development of atherosclerosis, evidence of its effect on CAD incidence and outcomes, and coronary imaging ...

Secondary prevention advices after cardiovascular index event: From drug prescription to risk factors control in real world practice.
Authors: Faggiano P, Fattirolli F, Frisinghelli A, Piccioli L, Dasseni N, Silverii MV, Albricci L, D'Ambrosio G, Garrì R, Esposito L, Giallauria F Abstract The present study aims at evaluating the achievement of blood pressure, lipid and blood glucose targets, healthy lifestyle changes and appropriate drug prescription/adherence in patients attending secondary prevention/CR ambulatory visit after index cardiovascular event in a time period ranging 1 to 5 year. At ambulatory visit, a predetermined set of data collection was used, including demographic data, cardiovascular risk factors and lifestyle habits, type and...

Airflow Obstruction and Cardio-metabolic Comorbidities.
In conclusion, the associations of CVD and hypertension with airflow obstruction in the general population are largely explained by age and smoking habits. The adjusted risk for diabetes is lower in subjects with airflow obstruction. These findings emphasize the role of common risk factors in explaining the coexistence of cardio-metabolic comorbidities and COPD. PMID: 31131642 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Physical activity in incident patients with pulmonary arterial and chronic thromboembolic hypertension
ConclusionDaily physical activity as steps/day assessed in incident patients with PAH/CTEPH did not well correlate with invasive hemodynamics at rest or during exercise, but very well with the 6MWD. Whether daily activity assessments provide additional information to simple walk distance on risk factor profiles during follow-up in patients with PAH/CTEPH remains to be clarified.

Activation of The Metabolic Master Regulator PPAR γ - A Potential PIOneering Therapy for Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension.
The objective is a data-driven approach to set the preclinical and clinical study record straight. The convincing recent clinical trial data on the lack of significant toxicity in high risk populations justify the timely conduction of clinical studies in order to achieve "repurposing" or "repositioning" of pioglitazone for the treatment of clinical PAH.
