Multivariate linear regression to predict association of non‐invasive arterial stiffness with cardiovascular events

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1141-1150, April 2025.
Abstract Background Arterial stiffness is a crucial factor in determining an increase in systolic blood pressure and pulse pressure and can also predict the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD). The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between arterial stiffness and future CVD.

Knowledge and practice of spirometry among pediatricians in Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

Annals of Thoracic Medicine, 2008
Background: Spirometry is the most basic, widely used and effort-dependent pulmonary function test. It assesses the lung volumes and flows, and is ideally suited to describe the effects of restriction or obstruction on lung function.

Beta‐blockers in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction and concomitant chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: Cardiovascular and respiratory outcomes

European Journal of Heart Failure, EarlyView.
In total, 5084 patients from Swedish registries with both heart failure (HF) with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) were included. Confounding was handled by overlap weighting based on propensity scores for beta‐blocker use. Patients were followed up for 5 years, or until death, emigration from Sweden or
