A multicentre registry of hospitalized patients with acute and chronic heart failure: Study design of the H2‐registry

open access: yesESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.
The H2‐Registry: overview, first results and outlook. Abstract Aims Heart failure (HF) is a highly prevalent condition affecting 1–3% of the adult population in Europe. Despite landmark improvements in HF care over the last two decades, hospitalization and mortality rates remain relatively high.

Evaluation of the Association between Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Hearing Loss

open access: yesJournal of Sleep Sciences, 2016
Background and Objective: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) through hypoxia and reoxygenation periods leads to oxidative stress, endothelial dysfunction, and activation of inflammatory cycles, which eventually may cause disorder in vasa nervorum, and ...

Is surgery effective for reducing symptoms in adults with obstructive sleep apnea? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
Current evidence is insufficient to recommend surgery for symptom relief for patients with obstructive sleep apnea. More convincing evidence exists supporting the use of Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) or dental appliances for reducing ...

Blood Pressure Non-Dipping and Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome: A Meta-Analysis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
AIM: We examined the reduced blood pressure (BP) nocturnal fall in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) by a meta-analysis including studies that provided data on prevalence rates of non-dipping (ND) pattern during 24-h ambulatory blood ...

Obstructive Sleep Apnea and the Risk of Cognitive Decline in Older Adults.

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2019
Obstructive sleep apnea causes intermittent hypoxia and sleep fragmentation and affects at least 20% of individuals after the age of 65. There is accumulating evidence that obstructive sleep apnea may impact brain structure and function.

Plasma metabolomics identifies signatures that distinguish heart failure with reduced and preserved ejection fraction

open access: yesESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims Two general phenotypes of heart failure (HF) are recognized: HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and with preserved EF (HFpEF). To develop phenotype‐specific approaches to treatment, distinguishing biomarkers are needed. The goal of this study was to utilize quantitative metabolomics on a large, diverse population to replicate and ...

Hypertension and obstructive sleep apnea

open access: yesNature and Science of Sleep, 2013
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is increasingly being recognized as a major health burden with strong focus on the associated cardiovascular risk. Studies from the last two decades have provided strong evidence for a causal role of OSA in the development of systemic hypertension.

Exploring heart failure prevalence and dimensions: A comprehensive NT‐proBNP study in high‐risk primary care patients

open access: yesESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.
The diagnostic pathway of high‐risk primary care patients through NT‐proBNP. Abstract Introduction Early detection of heart failure (HF), particularly in asymptomatic individuals, is essential for timely intervention. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of HF among high‐risk individuals in primary care using N‐terminal probrain natriuretic ...

Effects of adenotonsillectomy on plasma inflammatory biomarkers in obese children with obstructive sleep apnea: A community-based study. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
BackgroundObesity and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSA) are highly prevalent and frequently overlapping conditions in children that lead to systemic inflammation, the latter being implicated in the various end-organ morbidities associated with these
