Obstructive Sleep apnea and cardiovascular events in Elderly Patients
This article reviews the association between OSA, CPAP treatment, and CVE, particularly stroke and coronary heart disease (CHD), in the elderly. MEDLINE and the Cochrane Collaboration databases were searched from inception to July 2021.EXPERT COMMENTARY: Although a positive association between OSA and the incidence of cardiovascular disease in the elderly has been established, the role of sleep apnea in certain cardiovascular events remains controversial. Most authors agree that untreated OSA is a risk factor for stroke or worse stroke prognosis. However, the association between OSA and CHD is usually less pronounced than ...

Etiology, clinical characteristics, and outcome of infective endocarditis: 10-year experience from a tertiary care center in Pakistan
In conclusion, our study provided valuable data on the clinical characteristics and outcomes of patients with IE in a developing country. S. aureus was the most common causative agent. Heart failure and stroke were the most common complications. The presence of prosthetic valves, history of chronic kidney disease, ischemic heart disease and previous stroke were associated with a significantly increased risk of mortality. Surgical management was not associated with improved outcomes.PMID:35347974 | DOI:10.4081/monaldi.2022.2212

Right atrial function is associated with right venticular diastolic stiffness: RA-RV interaction in pulmonary arterial hypertension
Conclusions In PAH, RA function is associated with changes in RV function. Despite increased RA stroke work, severe RV diastolic stiffness is associated with reduced RV active filling and increased vena cava backflow. In 50% of patients with high baseline Eed, diastolic stiffness remained high, despite treatment. A reduction in Eed coincided with a large reduction in afterload, increased RV active filling and decreased vena cava backflow.

Study on the predictive ability of emergency CHADS < sub > 2 < /sub > score and CHA < sub > 2 < /sub > DS < sub > 2 < /sub > -VASc score for coronary artery disease and prognosis in patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction
CONCLUSIONS: Multiple factors jointly affect the severity and prognosis of CAD in patients with acute STEMI. The CHA2DS2-VASc score is better than the CHADS2 score in predicting the severity of coronary artery lesions and prognosis of patients, providing theoretical support for clinical practice.PMID:35928606 | PMC:PMC9344425 | DOI:10.21037/jtd-22-763
