RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Cardiometabolic multimorbidity (CMM) is a growing global health problem, and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is recognized as an important risk factor for cardiovascular disease. However, the impact of OSA on the prognosis of CMM patients remains unclear. METHODS: This study was a sub-study of OSA-acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and included 1, 927 hospitalized ACS patients. Patients were divided into the CMM group and the non-CMM group. OSA was diagnosed using the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI). The primary endpoint was major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE). The secondary endpoint included cardiac events, all-cause death and all repeat revascularizations. RESULTS: This study enrolled 1, 927 patients hospitalized for ACS, with a median follow-up of 3 years. Among them, 723 patients (37.5%) had CMM, while 1, 204 patients (62.5%) did not have CMM. Over half of the patients in each group had OSA. OSA patients exhibited worse cardiometabolic profiles than their non-OSA counterparts, including higher body mass index (BMI), glycemic indices, lipids and inflammation. In the CMM group, OSA patients had a significantly higher incidence of MACCE than non-OSA patients (34.7% vs. 23.7%, p = 0.004). These results remained significant after adjustment, indicating that OSA substantially increased the risk of MACCE in the CMM group (adjusted hazard ratio [HR]: 1.432; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.017-2.016; p = 0.040). Conversely, the incidence of MACCE was similar between OSA and non-OSA subgroups within the non-CMM cohort. Subgroup analyses showed that OSA increased the risk of MACCE in CMM patients aged ≥ 60 years (adjusted HR: 1.642; 95% CI: 1.031-2.615; p = 0.037) and in those with specific clinical characteristics. CONCLUSION: OSA significantly impacts the prognosis of CMM patients, highlighting the need for targeted OSA screening and management strategies to improve outcomes in this population potentially.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: A couple of cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) attributes strongly predict adverse remodeling after ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI); however, the value of incorporating high-risk CMR attributes, particularly, in patients with non-reduced ejection fraction, remains undetermined. This study sought to evaluate the independent and incremental predictive value of a multiparametric CMR approach for adverse remodeling after STEMI across left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) categories. METHODS: A total of 157 patients with STEMI undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention were prospectively enrolled. Adverse remodeling was defined as ≥20% enlargement in left ventricular end-diastolic volume from index admission to 3 months of follow-up. RESULTS: Adverse remodeling occurred in 23.6% of patients. After adjustment for clinical risk factors, a stroke volume index <29.6 mL/m2, a global longitudinal strain >-7.5%, an infarct size >39.2%, a microvascular obstruction >4.9%, and a myocardial salvage index <36.4 were independently associated with adverse remodeling. The incidence of adverse remodeling increased with the increasing number of high-risk CMR attributes, regardless of LVEF (LVEF ≤ 40%: P = 0.026; 40% < LVEF < 50%: P = 0.001; LVEF ≥ 50%: P < 0.001). The presence of ≥4 high-risk attributes was an independent predictor of LV adverse remodeling (70.0% vs. 16.8%, adjusted OR 9.68, 95 CI% 3.25-28.87, P < 0.001). Furthermore, the number of high-risk CMR attributes had an incremental predictive value over reduced LVEF and baseline clinical risk factors (AUC: 0.81 vs. 0.68; P = 0.002). CONCLUSIONS: High-risk CMR attributes showed a significant association with adverse remodeling after STEMI across LVEF categories. This imaging-based model provided incremental value for adverse remodeling over traditional clinical factors and LVEF.
RESUMO
Early detection of left ventricular remodeling (LVR) is crucial. While cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) provides valuable information, it has limitations. Coronary angiography-derived fractional flow reserve (caFFR) and index of microcirculatory resistance (caIMR) offer viable alternatives. 157 patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention were prospectively included. 23.6% of patients showed LVR. Machine learning algorithms constructed three LVR prediction models: Model 1 incorporated clinical and procedural parameters, Model 2 added CMR parameters, and Model 3 included echocardiographic and functional parameters (caFFR and caIMR) with Model 1. The random forest algorithm showed robust performance, achieving AUC of 0.77, 0.84, and 0.85 for Models 1, 2, and 3. SHAP analysis identified top features in Model 2 (infarct size, microvascular obstruction, admission hemoglobin) and Model 3 (current smoking, caFFR, admission hemoglobin). Findings indicate coronary physiology and echocardiographic parameters effectively predict LVR in patients with STEMI, suggesting their potential to replace CMR.
RESUMO
Aims: With an aging population and better survival rates, coronary artery disease (CAD) with multimorbidity has become more prevalent, complicating treatment and impacting life quality and longevity. This study identifies multimorbidity patterns in CAD patients and their effect on clinical outcomes, emphasizing treatment strategies. Methods and results: The study analysed data from the DCEM registry (173 459 patients) and BleeMACS cohort (15 401 patients) to categorize CAD patients into three multimorbidity patterns. The focus was on how these patterns influence outcomes, especially concerning the efficacy and safety of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT). The study identified three distinct multimorbidity patterns: Class 1 encompassed cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic comorbidities indicating the highest risk; Class 2 included hypertension-dyslipidaemia comorbidities, reflecting intermediate risk; and Class 3 involved non-specific comorbidities, indicating the lowest risk. Class 1 patients demonstrated a six-fold increase in in-hospital mortality and a four-fold increase in severe in-hospital complications compared with Class 3. Over a 1-year period, Class 1 was associated with the highest risk, displaying a significant increase in all-cause mortality [adjusted hazard ratio (HR) 1.87, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.52-2.31, P < 0.001] and a notable risk for major bleeding (adjusted HR 1.74, 95% CI 1.36-2.24, P < 0.001) compared with Class 3. The use of DAPT, particularly aspirin combined with clopidogrel, significantly reduced the 1-year all-cause mortality in Class 1 patients (adjusted HR 0.60, 95% CI 0.37-0.98, P = 0.04) without increasing in major bleeding. Conclusion: Coronary artery disease patients with a cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic profile face the highest mortality risk. Targeted DAPT, especially aspirin and clopidogrel, effectively lowers mortality without significantly raising bleeding risks. Registration: DCEM registry (NCT05797402) and BleeMACS registry (NCT02466854).
RESUMO
AIM: A close relationship exists between resting heart rate (RHR) and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Still, the prognostic importance of nighttime RHR in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) with or without OSA remains unclear. METHODS: In this prospective cohort study, OSA was defined as an apnea-hypopnea index of ≥ 15 events/h, and the high nighttime RHR (HNRHR) was defined as a heart rate of ≥ 70 bpm. The primary endpoint was a major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular event (MACCE), including cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, stroke, ischemia-driven revascularization, or hospitalization for heart failure. RESULTS: Among the 1875 enrolled patients, the mean patient age was 56.3±10.5 years, 978 (52.2%) had OSA, and 425 (22.7%) were in HNRHR. The proportion of patients with HNRHR is higher in the OSA population than in the non-OSA population (26.5% vs. 18.5%; Pï¼0.001). During 2.9 (1.5, 3.5) years of follow-up, HNRHR was associated with an increased risk of MACCE in patients with OSA (adjusted HR: 1.56, 95% CI: 1.09-2.23, P=0.014), but not in patients without OSA (adjust HR: 1.13, 95% CI: 0.69-1.84, P=0.63). CONCLUSIONS: In patients with ACS, a nighttime RHR of ≥ 70 bpm was associated with a higher risk of MACCE in those with OSA but not in those without it. This identifies a potential high-risk subgroup where heart rate may interact with the prognosis of OSA. Further research is needed to determine causative relationships and confirm whether heart rate control impacts cardiovascular outcomes in patients with ACS-OSA.

BACKGROUND: Sporadic studies have examined the impact of OSA on ACS patients by homocysteine (Hcy) level. This study attempted to comprehensively evaluate the effects of the interaction between Hcy and OSA on long-term cardiovascular outcomes in ACS patients. METHODS: In this prospective, large-scale cohort study, 2160 patients admitted for ACS were recruited to undergo overnight sleep monitoring. OSA was diagnosed when apnea-hypopnea index ≥ 15 events/h. Patients with normohomocysteinemia (NHcy) were defined as having serum Hcy ≤ 15 µmol/L, and the others had hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy). The primary endpoint was major adverse cerebrocardiovascular event (MACCE), a composite of cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, stroke, ischemia-driven revascularization and hospitalization for unstable angina and heart failure. RESULTS: A total of 1553 eligible ACS patients (average age: 56.3 ± 10.5 years) were enrolled, among which 819 (52.7%) had OSA, and 988 (63.6%) were with NHcy. OSA did not significantly affect the level of Hcy. During a median follow-up of 2.9 (1.6, 3.5) years, after adjustment for clinical confounders, OSA was associated with increased risk for MACCE occurrence versus non-OSA ones in ACS patients with NHcy (adjusted hazard ratio [HR] = 1.36, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.02-1.83, P = 0.039), but not in those with HHcy (adjusted HR = 0.92, 95%CI 0.62-1.36, P = 0.668). There was an absence of interaction between homocysteine level and OSA in relation to MACCE (interaction P = 0.106). CONCLUSIONS: OSA was independently associated with worse prognosis in ACS patients with NHcy. Our study emphasized the necessity to identify potential presence of OSA in such a population.

ABSTRACT: The role of phosphodiesterase 5 (Pde5) in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) induced damage remains unclear. Our study aimed to investigate the role of Pde5 in chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH) model. C57BL/6J wild-type (WT) mice (n=48) and Pde5 knockout (Pde5-/-) mice (n=24) were randomly assigned to CIH group and room air (RA) group. After 6 weeks, some WT mice (n=24) in CIH group were given sildenafil or saline gavage for another 4 weeks. Blood pressure was regularly measured during the experiment. Echocardiography was used to estimate cardiac function. We collected organs from each group of mice and measured their physical indicators. Histochemical staining was used to explore the size of cardiomyocyte and fibrosis area of various organs. Cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) and Malondialdehyde (MDA) concentrations in serum were measured by ELISA assay. Compared to the RA-treated group, the 6-week CIH resulted in a significant increase in blood pressure, altered heart structure and reduced serum cGMP in WT mice. Pde5-/- mice and sildenafil intragastric administration significantly reduced systolic blood pressure in CIH condition and attenuated the damage of target organs. In CIH model, we found that the cardiomyocyte size and fibrosis area of heart and kidney significantly reduced in Pde5-/- groups. Besides, endogenous and exogenous inhibition of Pde5 reduced MDA level and inflammatory and oxidative stress markers expression in CIH condition. In the present study, we found that Pde5 inhibition could reduce blood pressure and alleviate target organ damage in the CIH model, which may be mediated through the oxidative stress pathway.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: The prognostic significance of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) according to prior myocardial infarction (MI) remains unclear. We aimed to investigate the association between OSA and long-term cardiovascular outcomes in ACS patients with or without prior MI. METHODS: We prospectively recruited eligible 2160 ACS patients with portable sleep monitoring in Beijing Anzhen Hospital between June 2015 and January 2020. OSA was defined as an apnea hypopnea index (AHI) ≥15 events/hour. The primary endpoint was major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular event (MACCE), including cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, stroke, ischemia-driven revascularization, or hospitalization for unstable angina or heart failure. RESULTS: Among 1927 patients enrolled, 1014 (52.6%) had OSA and 316 (16.4%) had prior MI. During 2.9 (1.5, 3.6) years of follow-up, multivariate analysis showed that OSA was associated with 1.7 times the risk of MACCE in patients with prior MI (50 events [28.2%] vs 24 events [17.3%]; adjusted HR = 1.74, 95%CI 1.04-2.90, P = 0.034), but not in patients without prior MI group (177 events [21.1%] vs 138 events [17.8%]; adjusted HR = 1.19, 95%CI 0.94-1.51, P = 0.15). There was no significant interaction between prior MI and OSA for MACCE (interaction P = 0.14). CONCLUSIONS: OSA was independently associated with an increased risk of MACCE among ACS patients, particularly among ACS patients with prior MI. Further trials exploring the efficacy of OSA treatment in high-risk patients with ACS characterized by prior MI are warranted.

Background: The accurate placement of stents for treatment of coronary aorto-ostial lesions (AOLs) is technically challenging. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a stent positioning system with a dedicated nitinol device and compare them with those of the conventional approach for stenting of coronary AOLs. Methods: In this prospective, multi-center, open-label, randomized study, conducted from November 2015 to April 2019, patients with coronary AOLs that underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) were randomly allocated (allocation ratio 1:1) using block randomization method to either a stent positioning system group or a conventional technique group. The primary endpoint was the range of stent slippage when positioning. The following secondary endpoints were applied: (I) the extent of swing of the guiding catheters during stent positioning; (II) the rate of accurate stent placement; (III) the procedure time; and (IV) the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) including cardiac death, myocardial infarction, target lesion revascularization, and stent thrombosis. Results: During the study period, 139 patients with aorto-ostial coronary artery stenosis were included at 5 centers. A total of 69 patients were allocated to the stent positioning system group and 70 patients to the conventional technique group. Angiographic and clinical success were achieved in 100% of the patients included in both groups. The range of stent slippage was significantly shorter in the stent positioning system group than it was in the conventional technique group [0.64 (0.22; 1.35) vs. 1.11 (0.48; 1.72) mm, P=0.01]. The rate of accurate placement of stents was higher in the stent positioning system group than it was in the conventional technique group (74.6% vs. 57.1%, P=0.03). The extent of guiding catheter swing during the stent positioning [0.24 (0.19; 0.53) vs. 0.23 (0.19; 0.53) mm; P=0.95] and the MACEs rates (1.4% vs. 2.9%, P>0.99) were similar between the 2 groups. The procedural time of the stent positioning system was longer than that of the conventional approach [1.00 (0.50; 1.50) vs. 0.80 (0.50; 1.50) min, P=0.09]. Conclusions: The dedicated stent positioning system was is safer and provides more accurate placement of stents for coronary AOLs than the conventional approach, and the associated prolongation of procedure time is insignificant.

RESUMO
BACKGROUND: The effects of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) on the prognosis of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) without revascularization remain unclear, so the aim of the present study was to elucidate the association of OSA with subsequent cardiovascular events in ACS patients with and without revascularization.MethodsâandâResults: We prospectively recruited hospitalized ACS patients undergoing sleep monitoring between June 2015 and January 2020. OSA was defined as an apnea-hypopnea index ≥15 events/h. The primary endpoint was a major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular event (MACCE), including cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, stroke, ischemia-driven revascularization, or hospitalization for unstable angina or heart failure. Among 1,927 patients, 52.6% had OSA and 69.4% underwent revascularization. During a 2.9-year follow-up (1.5-3.6 years), the risk of MACCE was similar in patients with or without revascularization. OSA was an independent predictor of MACCE in the non-revascularization group (22.6% vs. 14.6%; hazard ratio (HR) 1.861; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.239-2.796; P=0.003) but not in revascularization group (22.3% vs. 19.3%; HR 1.135; 95% CI 0.882-1.460; P=0.324). The incremental risk in the non-revascularization group was attributable to more hospitalizations for unstable angina (14.2% vs. 8.6%; HR 1.896; 95% CI 1.124-3.199; P=0.016). CONCLUSIONS: For patients with ACS, OSA was independently associated with higher risk of recurrent cardiovascular events among patients without revascularization but not among patients undergoing revascularization. The benefits of suitable OSA treatment for patients without revascularization need further investigation.

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: The association of comorbidities on the prognosis of patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) was well documented. However, the impact of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) on this association has been less studied. METHODS AND RESULTS: Between June 2015 to Jan 2020, we included consecutively eligible patients with ACS who underwent cardiorespiratory polygraphy. The definition of OSA was apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) ≥15 events/hour. Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) was used to evaluate the comorbidities. The primary endpoint was major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE), including cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, stroke, ischemia-driven revascularization, and hospitalization for unstable angina or heart failure. In the 1927 ACS patients, 1014 (52.6%) had OSA. The prevalence of the mild (CCI = 0), moderate (CCI = 1-2), and severe (CCI≥3) comorbidity were 23.6%, 65.9%, and 10.5%, respectively. During a median follow-up of 2.9 (1.5, 3.6) years, compared with patients without OSA, the presence of OSA increased the risk of MACCE in the moderate comorbidity group (22.6% vs. 17.5%; adjusted HR: 1.327; 95% CI: 1.019-1.728, p = 0.036) and severe comorbidity group (36.2% vs. 18.6%; adjusted HR: 2.194; 95% CI: 1.170-4.117, p = 0.014). There was no significant difference between OSA and non-OSA patients in the mild comorbidity group. CONCLUSION: Among ACS patients, OSA was associated with an increased risk of subsequent events in the moderate and severe comorbidity groups but not in the mild comorbidity group. ACS patients with comorbidities should not be overlooked for OSA screening.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the perioperative administration of dexamethasone to prevent postoperative shivering. METHODS: We searched PubMed, Embase, Google Scholar, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library for relevant studies of the administration of dexamethasone to prevent postoperative shivering published through 31 May 2023. The primary outcome was the incidence of postoperative shivering. Secondary outcomes comprised the incidence of postoperative nausea, vomiting, and postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV). RevMan 5.3 software was used for the data analysis. RESULTS: We included 12 randomized controlled trials (1276 participants). The results revealed a benefit favoring the perioperative administration of dexamethasone to prevent postoperative shivering (relative risk [RR]: 0.39; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.23-0.63), as well as the grade of shivering. The administration of dexamethasone also reduced the incidence of postoperative nausea (RR: 0.54; 95% CI: 0.39-0.73), postoperative vomiting (RR: 0.37; 95% CI: 0.20-0.65), and PONV (RR: 0.50; 95% CI: 0.26-0.95) compared with the control group. CONCLUSION: This study indicated that perioperative administration of dexamethasone prevented postoperative shivering and decreased the incidence of other complications.PROSPERO registration number: CRD42020164488.

AIMS: This study sought to evaluate the association of coronary angiography-derived index of microcirculatory resistance (angio-IMR) measured after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) with the evolution of infarct pathology during 3-month follow-up after ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). METHODS AND RESULTS: Patients with STEMI undergoing PPCI were prospectively enrolled between October 2019 and August 2021. Angio-IMR was calculated using computational flow and pressure simulation immediately after PPCI. Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging was performed at a median of 3.6 days and 3 months. A total of 286 STEMI patients (mean age 57.8 years, 84.3% men) with both angio-IMR and CMR at baseline were included. High angio-IMR (>40 U) occurred in 84 patients (29.4%) patients. Patients with angio-IMR >40 U had a higher prevalence and extent of MVO. An angio-IMR >40 U was a multivariable predictor of infarct size with a three-fold higher risk of final infarct size >25% (adjusted OR 3.00, 95% CI 1.23-7.32, P = 0.016). Post-procedure angio-IMR >40 U significantly predicted presence (adjusted OR 5.52, 95% CI 1.65-18.51, P = 0.006) and extent (beta coefficient 0.27, 95% CI 0.01-0.53, P = 0.041) of myocardial iron at follow-up. Compared with patients with angio-IMR ≤40 U, those with angio-IMR >40 U had less regression of infarct size and less resolution of myocardial iron at follow-up. CONCLUSIONS: Angio-IMR immediately post-PPCI showed a significant association with the extent and evolution of infarct pathology. An angio-IMR >40 U indicated extensive microvascular damage with less regression of infarct size and more persistent iron at follow-up.

BACKGROUND: A close relationship exists between obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) and hypertension. However, the impact of hypertension on the prognostic significance of OSA in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) remains unclear. METHODS: This is a post hoc analysis of the OSA-ACS project, which consecutively included patients with ACS and receiving overnight sleep study from June 2015 to January 2020. OSA was defined as AHI ≥15 events/hour. The primary outcome was major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE), including a composite of cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, stroke, ischemia-driven revascularisation or hospitalisation for unstable angina or heart failure. RESULTS: A total of 1927 patients with ACS were finally enrolled in this study. The mean patient age was 56.4±10.5 years. Among them, 1247 (64.7%) patients had hypertension, and 1014 (52.6%) patients had OSA. During 2.9 (1.5, 3.6) years of follow-up, OSA was associated with an increased risk of MACCE among patients with hypertension (HR=1.35, 95% CI 1.04 to 1.75, p=0.02), but not in patients without hypertension (HR=1.15, 95% CI 0.79 to 1.68, p=0.47). The interaction between OSA and hypertension for MACCE was not statistically significant (interaction p=0.29). For patients with pre-existing hypertension, OSA was associated with an increased risk of MACCE only among those with grade 3 hypertension (HR 1.54, 95% CI 1.12 to 2.13, p=0.008), but not those with grade 1 or 2 hypertension. CONCLUSIONS: OSA was associated with an increased risk of MACCE following ACS in patients with hypertension, especially in patients with pre-existing severe hypertension. These findings highlight the importance of identifying OSA in ACS patients with hypertension. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: NCT03362385.

BACKGROUND: Standard modifiable risk factors (SMuRFs) increase the risk of cardiovascular events in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and are also strongly associated with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in a bidirectional relationship. However, the association of OSA with recurrent cardiovascular events in ACS patients based on the number of SMuRFs remains unclear. Hence, we aimed to elucidate the prognostic implication of OSA in ACS patients stratified by the number of SMuRFs. METHODS: This was a post hoc analysis of the OSA-ACS study (NCT03362385), including 1927 patients admitted for ACS and undergoing portable sleep monitoring. OSA was defined as an apnea hypopnea index ≥ 15 events/h. The primary endpoint was major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular event (MACCE) including cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, stroke, hospitalization for unstable angina or heart failure, and ischemia-driven revascularization. Cox proportional hazards model and Kaplan-Meier analysis were used to investigated the relationship between OSA and subsequent cardiovascular events after patients were stratified by the number of SMuRFs. RESULTS: Among 1927 patients enrolled, 130 (6.7%) had no SMuRF, 1264 (65.6%) exhibited 1-2 SMuRFs and 533 (27.7%) presented 3-4 SMuRFs. With the increase of the number of SMuRFs, the proportion of OSA in ACS patients tended to increase (47.7% vs. 51.5% vs. 56.6%), but there was no significant difference between them (P = 0.08). After the stratification of ACS patients via SMuRF numbers and adjustment for confounding factors, fully adjusted Cox regression indicated that OSA increased the risk of MACCE (adjusted HR, 1.65; 95%CI, 1.06-2.57; P = 0.026) and ischemia-driven revascularization (adjusted HR, 2.18; 95%CI, 1.03-4.65; P = 0.042) in ACS patients with 3-4 SMuRFs. CONCLUSIONS: In hospitalized ACS patients, OSA is associated with an increased risk of MACCE and ischemia-driven revascularization among patients with 3-4 SMuRFs. Therefore, screening for OSA should be emphasized in ACS patients with 3-4 SMuRFs, and intervention trials should be prioritized in these high-risk patients.

The clinical outcome of obstructive sleep apnea in patients with acute coronary syndrome in relation to hyperuricemia is still unclear. We aimed to explore the clinical prognosis of obstructive sleep apnea in patients with acute coronary syndrome in relation to hyperuricemia status. This was a prospective cohort study. We included consecutively eligible patients with acute coronary syndrome who underwent cardiorespiratory polygraphy between June 2015 and January 2020. According to apnea-hypopnea index ≥ 15 events per hr and serum uric acid level, the population was divided into four groups: hyperuricemia with obstructive sleep apnea; hyperuricemia with non-obstructive sleep apnea; no hyperuricemia with obstructive sleep apnea; and no hyperuricemia with non-obstructive sleep apnea. The primary endpoint was major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events, including cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, stroke, ischaemia-driven revascularization, and readmission for unstable angina or heart failure. Spearman correlation analysis and Cox regression model were mainly used to estimate the data. The median follow-up was 2.9 years. Among 1925 patients with acute coronary syndrome, 29.6% had hyperuricemia and 52.6% had obstructive sleep apnea. Uric acid was negatively correlated with minimum arterial oxygen saturation and mean arterial oxygen saturation, and positively correlated with apnea-hypopnea index, oxygen desaturation index and the duration of time with arterial oxygen saturation < 90% (p < 0.001). During 2.9 (1.5, 3.6) years of follow-up, obstructive sleep apnea was associated with an increased risk of major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events in patients with hyperuricemia (23.5% versus 13.4%; adjusted hazard ratio: 1.834; 95% confidence interval: 1.192-2.821, p = 0.006), but not in patients without hyperuricemia (21.9% versus 19.2%; adjusted hazard ratio: 1.131; 95% confidence interval: 0.880-1.453, p = 0.336). There was a correlation between uric acid levels and sleep respiratory indicators. Obstructive sleep apnea was associated with increased risk of major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events in patients with acute coronary syndrome with hyperuricemia, but not in patients without hyperuricemia.

BACKGROUND: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and metabolic syndrome (MetS) are each increasingly common in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Whether OSA increases cardiovascular consequences in ACS patients with MetS has not been investigated. HYPOTHESIS: OSA increases cardiovascular risk in ACS patients with MetS. We aimed to examine the association between OSA and cardiovascular consequences in ACS patients with MetS. METHODS: In this prospective cohort study, we consecutive recruited 2160 ACS patients who underwent portable sleep breathing monitoring. OSA is defined as an apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) ≥ 15 events/h. The primary endpoint was major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE), including cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, stroke, ischemia-driven revascularization, or hospitalization for unstable angina or heart failure. RESULTS: A total of 1927 patients with ACS were enrolled. Among them, 1486 (77.1%) had MetS and 1014 (52.6%) had OSA. During 2.9 years of follow-up, the cumulative incidence of MACCE was similar between OSA and non-OSA groups in patients with MetS (21.9% vs. 17.9%, adjusted hazard ratio [HR] = 1.29 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.99-1.67, p = .06) and patients without MetS (24.4% vs. 17.3%, adjusted HR = 1.21 95% CI: 0.73-2.03, p = .46). Patients with MetS and OSA had a significantly higher risk of MACCE than patients with MetS and without OSA in women (27.8% vs. 18.1%, adjusted HR = 1.70, 95% CI: 1.01-3.09, p = .04) but not in men (21.0% vs. 17.9%, adjusted HR = 1.19, 95% CI: 0.91-1.59, p = .21). CONCLUSIONS: In hospitalized ACS patients with MetS, comorbid OSA was associated with increased risk of cardiovascular consequences among women.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Whether obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with worse prognosis in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) with or without prior stroke remains unclear. We investigated the association of OSA with cardiovascular events in ACS patients with or without prior stroke. METHODS: Between June 2015 and January 2020, we prospectively recruited eligible ACS patients who underwent cardiorespiratory polygraphy during hospitalization. We defined OSA as an apnea hypopnea index (AHI) ≥ 15 events/hour. The primary composite end point was major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCEs), including cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, stroke, ischemia-driven revascularization, or hospitalization for unstable angina or heart failure. RESULTS: Among 1927 patients enrolled, 207 patients had prior stroke (10.7%) and 1014 had OSA (52.6%). After a mean follow-up of 2.9 years, patients with stroke had significantly higher risk of MACCEs than those without stroke (hazard ratio [HR]:1.49; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.12-1.98, P = 0.007). The multivariate analysis showed that patients with OSA had 2.0 times the risk of MACCEs in prior stroke group (41 events [33.9%] vs 18 events [20.9%]; HR:2.04, 95% CI:1.13-3.69, P = 0.018), but not in non-prior stroke group (186 events [20.8%] vs 144 events [17.4]; HR:1.21, 95% CI 0.96-1.52, P = 0.10). No significant interaction was noted between prior stroke and OSA for MACCE (interaction P = 0.17). CONCLUSIONS: Among ACS patients, the presence of OSA was associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular events in patients with prior stroke. Further trials exploring the efficacy of OSA treatment in high-risk patients with ACS and prior stroke are warranted. Trial registration Clinicaltrials.gov identifier NCT03362385.

BACKGROUND: The mortality following ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) remains substantial in the reperfusion era. Shenfu injection, as a traditional Chinese herbal formula, can alleviate ischemia-reperfusion injury through multiple pharmacologic effects. However, no robust data are available regarding the role of Shenfu injection in reducing infarct size for patients with STEMI undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI). METHODS/DESIGN: This RESTORE trial is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, placebo-controlled trial (NCT04493840). A total of 326 eligible patients with first-time anterior STEMI undergoing PPCI within 12 h of symptom onset will be enrolled from 10 centers in mainland China. Patients are randomized in a 1:1 fashion to receive either intravenous Shenfu injection (80mL Shenfu injection + 70mL 5% glucose injection) or placebo group (150mL 5% glucose injection) before reperfusion and followed by once a day until 5 days after PPCI. The primary end point is infarct size assessed by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging 5±2 days after PPCI. The major secondary end points include enzymatic infarct size, microvascular obstruction, intramyocardial hemorrhage, left ventricular volume and ejection fraction assessed by CMR, as well as cardiovascular events at 30 days. CONCLUSIONS: The RESTORE trial is sufficiently powered to demonstrate the clinical effects of Shenfu injection on myocardial injury in STEMI patients undergoing PPCI in the contemporary era.

BACKGROUND: A close relationship exists between OSA and obesity. The impact of obesity on the prognostic significance of OSA in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) remains unclear. RESEARCH QUESTION: Do the effects of OSA on subsequent cardiovascular events in patients with ACS vary with obesity status? STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS: This is a prospective cohort study. Patients 18 to 85 years of age who were hospitalized for ACS were consecutively enrolled and underwent portable sleep monitoring after clinical stabilization. OSA was defined as an apnea hypopnea index ≥ 15 events/h. The primary end point was major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular event (MACCE), including cardiovascular death, hospitalization for ACS, stroke, ischemia-driven revascularization, or hospitalization for heart failure. RESULTS: Among 1,920 patients enrolled (84.5% male; mean age ± SD, 56.4 ± 10.5 years), 1,013 (52.8%) had OSA, and 718 (37.4%) were obese (BMI ≥ 28 kg/m2). During 2.9 years (1.5, 3.6 years) follow-up, the incidence of MACCE was significantly higher in patients with obesity than in patients without obesity (hazard ratio [HR], 1.29; 95% CI, 1.06-1.58; P = .013). Although the prevalence of OSA was lower in patients without obesity than in those with obesity (43.9% vs 67.5%; P < .001), OSA independently predicted the incidence of MACCE only in patients without obesity (adjusted HR, 1.34; 95% CI, 1.03-1.75; P = .03), but not in patients with obesity (adjusted HR, 1.10; 95% CI, 0.78-1.55; P = .58). No significant interaction between obesity and OSA was noted (P for interaction = .35). The incremental risk associated with OSA in patients without obesity might be explained by more hospitalization for ACS and ischemia-driven revascularization. INTERPRETATION: For patients with ACS, OSA was independently associated with an increased risk of subsequent events, particularly among patients without obesity. These findings highlight the importance of identifying OSA in nonobese patients with ACS. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION: ClinicalTrials.gov; No.: NCT03362385; URL: www. CLINICALTRIALS: gov.
