Update on the Pathophysiology, Aetiology and Management of Central Sleep Apnoea
ABSTRACT Central sleep apnoea (CSA) of the periodic breathing type occurs during the transition between wakefulness and stage 1 and 2 non‐REM sleep. In adults at sea level, it occurs most commonly due to advanced heart failure (HF) or chronic opioid use and in ~5% of obstructive sleep apnoea patients initiating CPAP.

Mitral valve replacement on a beating heart.
We report the case of a patient who needed mitral valve replacement but was at a high risk of myocardial injury with the conventional technique (cardioplegic arrest on cardiopulmonary bypass). Valve replacement was carried out on a beating heart on cardiopulmonary bypass by perfusing the heart continuously with oxygenated noncardioplegic normothermic ...

ABSTRACT Aim To study the incidence, survival, and mortality of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) in children in Sweden, 1991–2019. Methods Hospital records of 0–18‐year‐olds diagnosed with DCM over a 29‐year period were reviewed. The annual sex‐specific incidence rates of DCM were calculated as new disease cases, divided by the average Swedish same‐sex ...
