[PMID: 39008057 DOI: 10.1007/s00246-024-03583-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/14/2024] [Accepted: 07/08/2024] [Indexed: 07/16/2024]
Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has been associated with negative cardiovascular effects and negative outcomes following cardiovascular surgery in the adult population. Our objective was to evaluate if there is a similar association in children. Single center retrospective matched cohort study, we collected data on patients aged 1-18 who were admitted to the cardiac intensive care unit (CICU) between Jan 2012 and Dec 2021. We used a 3:1 propensity score matching for cases not diagnosed with OSA. Primary outcome was a composite variable: "adverse outcome," consisting of prolonged hospital and CICU stay, prolonged duration of mechanical ventilation, need for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, and death. The study comprised 80 patients diagnosed with OSA and 240 patients without a diagnosis of OSA before cardiac surgery. The median age was 5.3 years (IQR 2.7-11.2). There were 184 (57.5%) males, and 102 (31.9%) had chromosomal and genetic abnormalities. There was a difference in "adverse outcome" between the OSA and non-OSA groups [34 (42.50%) vs 68 (28.33%), p = 0.027]. Moreover, bivariate analysis revealed that CICU length of stay, and chromosomal anomalies were statistically different between the groups. By logistic regression the composite variable "adverse outcome" remained associated to the OSA group (p = 0.009) with an adjusted odds ratio (OR) of 4.09 (1.83-9.18), p < 0.001. Children diagnosed with OSA had a higher risk of "adverse outcome" following cardiac surgery. The risk disappeared if the patient had Tonsillectomy and Adenoidectomy before cardiac surgery. Further studies should explore a proactive treatment for OSA in pediatric patients who need cardiac surgery.

Abstract
PURPOSE Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with metabolic, cardiovascular, and cerebrovascular comorbidities. Appropriate diagnosis and treatment of OSA might mitigate these comorbidities. This retrospective review sought to assess the impact of sex, age, race, ethnicity, and insurance status on polysomnography (PSG) referral rates. METHODS An institutional STOP-Bang database of 299,320 patients was filtered for patients admitted to the hospital with an acute cardiac diagnosis between 2015-2020. A cohort of 4,735 patients were risk stratified by STOP-Bang (SB) score and correlations were made between PSG referrals and demographic and clinical variables (sex, age, race, ethnicity, and insurance status). RESULTS Of the 25.3% of the cohort with high SB scores (5-8) only 21.3% were referred for PSG. Age and female sex were negatively associated with sleep study referrals (p < 0.001). No correlation was found between sleep study referral rates and race or ethnicity. No correlation was found between sleep study referrals and insurance provider. Admitting cardiac diagnosis significantly influenced sleep study referrals with diagnoses of arrhythmias and myocardial infarction being associated with an increased rate of PSG referrals compared to heart failure patients (p < 0.002). CONCLUSIONS Our study found no significant correlation between PSG referral rates and race, ethnicity, or insurance provider. However, we found low overall rates of PSG referral, with negative correlations between older age and female sex and a high-risk cardiac population. This represents a substantial missed opportunity to identify patients at risk for OSA, obtain a diagnosis, and provider adequate treatment.

Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is an increasingly relevant cause of cardiovascular morbidity worldwide. Although the association between OSA and the cardiovascular system is well-known, the extent of its effects is still a topic of interest, including pathophysiologic mechanisms, cardiovascular sequelae, and OSA therapies and their effects. Commonly described mechanisms of cardiovascular etiologies revolve around sympathetic activation, inflammation, and intermittent hypoxia resulting from OSA. Ultimately, these effects lead to manifestations in the cardiovascular system, such as arrhythmias, hypertension, and heart failure, among others. The resulting sequelae of OSA may also have differential effects based on gender and age; several studies suggest female gender to have more susceptibility to cardiovascular mortality, as well as an increase in age. Furthermore, several therapies for OSA, both established and emerging, show a reduction in cardiovascular morbidity and may even reduce cardiovascular burden. Namely, the establishment of CPAP has led to improvement in hypertension and cardiac function in patients with heart failure and even reduced the progression of early stages of atherosclerosis. Effective management of OSA decreases abnormal neural sympathetic activity, which results in better rhythm control and blood pressure control, both in waking and sleep cycles. With newer therapies for OSA, its effects on the cardiovascular system may be significantly reduced or even reversed after long-term management. The vast extent of OSA on the cardiovascular system, as well as current and future therapeutic strategies, will be described in detail in this review.

Med Sci Monit 2024; 30:e942667. [PMID: 38771735 PMCID: PMC11127607 DOI: 10.12659/msm.942667] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/24/2023] [Accepted: 02/27/2024] [Indexed: 05/23/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) presents a significant health concern, particularly among individuals with essential hypertension (EH). Understanding the genetic underpinnings of this association is crucial for effective management and intervention. We investigated the relationship between TRPC3 gene polymorphisms and susceptibility to OSAHS in patients with EH. MATERIAL AND METHODS We enrolled 373 patients with EH hospitalized at the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University between April 2015 and November 2017. Patients were categorized into EH (n=74) and EH+OSAHS (n=299) groups according to the apnea-hypopnea index. Sequenom detection technology was used for TRPC3 gene single-nucleotide polymorphism genotyping, including genotypes at rs953691, rs10518289, rs2292232, rs4995894, rs951974, and rs4292355. RESULTS Sex, smoking history, alcohol history, hypertension duration, fasting blood glucose, urea, creatinine, total cholesterol, HDL-C, LDL-C, glycosylated hemoglobin, 24-h mean systolic BP, and 24-h mean diastolic BP were not significantly different between the 2 groups (P>0.05); however, age, BMI, triglyceride levels differed significantly (P<0.05). No significant difference was detected in distribution frequency of polymorphisms of TRPC3 gene between the 2 groups (P>0.05), while genotype, dominant genotype, and recessive genotype at rs10518289 and alleles at rs4292355 differed significantly (P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed age, BMI, and CG+GG genotypes at rs10518289 were risk factors for OSAHS in patients with EH. Interaction between TRPC3 (rs10518289) and obesity was not a risk of OSAHS with EH (P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS CC genotype of rs10518289 in the TRPC3 gene could be a protective genetic marker of OSAHS, and CG+GG genotype may be a risk genetic marker of OSAHS with EH.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is one of the main risk factors for cardiovascular diseases and is associated with both morbidity and mortality. OSA has also been linked to arrhythmias and sudden death. OBJECTIVE To assess whether OSA increases the risk of sudden death in the non-cardiac population. METHODS This is a systematic review of the literature. The descriptors "sudden death" and "sleep apnea" and "tachyarrhythmias" and "sleep apnea" were searched in the PubMed/Medline and SciELO databases. RESULTS Thirteen articles that addressed the relationship between OSA and the development of tachyarrhythmias and/or sudden death with prevalence data, electrocardiographic findings, and a relationship with other comorbidities were selected. The airway obstruction observed in OSA triggers several systemic repercussions, e.g., changes in intrathoracic pressure, intermittent hypoxia, activation of the sympathetic nervous system and chemoreceptors, and release of catecholamines. These mechanisms would be implicated in the appearance of arrhythmogenic factors, which could result in sudden death. CONCLUSION There was a cause-effect relationship between OSA and cardiac arrhythmias. In view of the pathophysiology of OSA and its arrhythmogenic role, studies have shown a higher risk of sudden death in individuals who previously had heart disease. On the other hand, there is little evidence about the occurrence of sudden death in individuals with OSA and no heart disease, and OSA is not a risk factor for sudden death in this population.

Abstract
Overall, cardiovascular diseases have many sex-related differences in prevalence, clinical presentation, and outcomes. A considerable amount of evidence suggests that obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) increases the risk for several cardiovascular diseases. Only recently, the sex-related differences in cardiovascular outcomes gained interest in the literature. In this review, the authors discuss the current evidence addressing the cardiovascular impact of OSA in women. Particular attention is devoted to hypertension, target-organ damage, heart failure, atrial fibrillation, and cardiovascular events (including mortality). A research agenda is proposed to increase the understanding of the relevance of OSA in women from the Cardiology perspective.

Abstract
Chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH) is the dominant pathological feature of human obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA), which is highly prevalent and associated with cardiovascular and renal diseases. CIH causes hypertension, centred on sympathetic nervous overactivity, which persists following removal of the CIH stimulus. Molecular mechanisms contributing to CIH-induced hypertension have been carefully delineated. However, there is a dearth of knowledge on the efficacy of interventions to ameliorate high blood pressure in established disease. CIH causes endothelial dysfunction, aberrant structural remodelling of vessels and accelerates atherosclerotic processes. Pro-inflammatory and pro-oxidant pathways converge on disrupted nitric oxide signalling driving vascular dysfunction. In addition, CIH has adverse effects on the myocardium, manifesting atrial fibrillation, and cardiac remodelling progressing to contractile dysfunction. Sympatho-vagal imbalance, oxidative stress, inflammation, dysregulated HIF-1α transcriptional responses and resultant pro-apoptotic ER stress, calcium dysregulation, and mitochondrial dysfunction conspire to drive myocardial injury and failure. CIH elaborates direct and indirect effects in the kidney that initially contribute to the development of hypertension and later to chronic kidney disease. CIH-induced morphological damage of the kidney is dependent on TLR4/NF-κB/NLRP3/caspase-1 inflammasome activation and associated pyroptosis. Emerging potential therapies related to the gut-kidney axis and blockade of aryl hydrocarbon receptors (AhR) are promising. Cardiorenal outcomes in response to intermittent hypoxia present along a continuum from adaptation to maladaptation and are dependent on the intensity and duration of exposure to intermittent hypoxia. This heterogeneity of OSA is relevant to therapeutic treatment options and we argue the need for better stratification of OSA phenotypes.

Abstract
Cardiac function is tightly regulated by the autonomic nervous system (ANS). Activation of the sympathetic nervous system increases cardiac output by increasing heart rate and stroke volume, while parasympathetic nerve stimulation instantly slows heart rate. Importantly, imbalance in autonomic control of the heart has been implicated in the development of arrhythmias and heart failure. Understanding of the mechanisms and effects of autonomic stimulation is a major challenge because synapses in different regions of the heart result in multiple changes to heart function. For example, nerve synapses on the sinoatrial node (SAN) impact pacemaking, while synapses on contractile cells alter contraction and arrhythmia vulnerability. Here, we present a multiscale neurocardiac modelling and simulator tool that predicts the effect of efferent stimulation of the sympathetic and parasympathetic branches of the ANS on the cardiac SAN and ventricular myocardium. The model includes a layered representation of the ANS and reproduces firing properties measured experimentally. Model parameters are derived from experiments and atomistic simulations. The model is a first prototype of a digital twin that is applied to make predictions across all system scales, from subcellular signalling to pacemaker frequency to tissue level responses. We predict conditions under which autonomic imbalance induces proarrhythmia and can be modified to prevent or inhibit arrhythmia. In summary, the multiscale model constitutes a predictive digital twin framework to test and guide high-throughput prediction of novel neuromodulatory therapy. KEY POINTS: A multi-layered model representation of the autonomic nervous system that includes sympathetic and parasympathetic branches, each with sparse random intralayer connectivity, synaptic dynamics and conductance based integrate-and-fire neurons generates firing patterns in close agreement with experiment. A key feature of the neurocardiac computational model is the connection between the autonomic nervous system and both pacemaker and contractile cells, where modification to pacemaker frequency drives initiation of electrical signals in the contractile cells. We utilized atomic-scale molecular dynamics simulations to predict the association and dissociation rates of noradrenaline with the β-adrenergic receptor. Multiscale predictions demonstrate how autonomic imbalance may increase proclivity to arrhythmias or be used to terminate arrhythmias. The model serves as a first step towards a digital twin for predicting neuromodulation to prevent or reduce disease.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVES Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is associated with alterations in heart rate variability (HRV) in relation to chronic autonomic dysfunction. We tested the ability of the deep breathing technique-a simple way to evaluate HRV-to identify patients with OSAS. METHODS Consecutive patients referred for suspected OSAS (without obesity, diabetes, and heart diseases) were included. They underwent a measure of HRV at rest and of heart rate oscillations during expiration vs inspiration (DeltaHRDB) when breathing deeply at the resonant frequency of 6 cycles per minute (deep breathing technique) while sitting awake, followed by a nighttime polysomnography. We measured DeltaHRDB and performed temporal and spectral HRV analysis. RESULTS Of 31 included participants (77% male), 14 had mild to moderate OSAS (apnea-hypopnea index median [IQR]: 18 [12]) and 17 had no OSAS. The conventional HRV analysis did not reveal any difference between the groups with vs without OSAS. However, the DeltaHRDB was lower in those with than without OSAS. Lower DeltaHRDB correlated with higher apnea-hypopnea index, arousal index, and desaturation degree. A DeltaHRDB below 11 beats per minute (bpm) predicted OSAS with a sensitivity of 100% and specificity of 86%. CONCLUSIONS The deep breathing technique accurately identifies a reduction in cardiac changes in patients with mild to moderate OSAS. It could be used as a simple screening tool to select patients for polysomnography. CITATION Onanga M, Joanny S, Rivals I, et al.

Abstract
Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) is characterized by repeated breathing pauses during sleep. The prevalence of SDB varies widely between studies. Some longitudinal studies have found an association of SDB with incident or recurrent cardiovascular events. We sought to systematically describe the current data on the correlation between SDB and cardiovascular pathology. Studies were included if they were original observational population-based studies in adults with clearly diagnosed SDB. The primary outcomes include all types of cardiovascular pathology. We carried out pooled analyses using a random effects model. Our systematic review was performed according to the PRISMA and MOOSE guidelines for systematic reviews and was registered with PROSPERO. In total, 2652 articles were detected in the databases, of which 76 articles were chosen for full-text review. Fourteen studies were focused on samples of an unselected population, and 8 studies were focused on a group of persons at risk for SDB. In 5 studies, the incidence of cardiovascular pathology in the population with SDB was examined. In total, 49 studies described SDB in patients with cardiovascular pathology. We found an association between SDB and prevalent /incident cardiovascular disease (pooled OR 1.76; 95% CI 1.38–2.26), and pooled HR (95% CI 1.78; 95% CI 1.34–2.45). Notably, in patients with existing SDB, the risk of new adverse cardiovascular events was high. However, the relationship between cardiovascular disease and SDB is likely to be bidirectional. Thus, more large-scale studies are needed to better understand this association and to decide whether screening for possible SDB in cardiovascular patients is reasonable and clinically significant.

Abstract
Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB), characterized by specific underlying physiological mechanisms, comprises obstructive and central pathophysiology, affects nearly 1 billion individuals worldwide, and is associated with excessive cardiopulmonary morbidity. Strong evidence implicates SDB in cardiac arrhythmogenesis. Immediate consequences of SDB include autonomic nervous system fluctuations, recurrent hypoxia, alterations in carbon dioxide/acid-base status, disrupted sleep architecture, and accompanying increases in negative intrathoracic pressures directly affecting cardiac function. Day-night patterning and circadian biology of SDB-induced pathophysiological sequelae collectively influence the structural and electrophysiological cardiac substrate, thereby creating an ideal milieu for arrhythmogenic propensity. Cohort studies support strong associations of SDB and cardiac arrhythmia, with evidence that discrete respiratory events trigger atrial and ventricular arrhythmic events. Observational studies suggest that SDB treatment reduces atrial fibrillation recurrence after rhythm control interventions. However, high-level evidence from clinical trials that supports a role for SDB intervention on rhythm control is not available. The goals of this scientific statement are to increase knowledge and awareness of the existing science relating SDB to cardiac arrhythmias (atrial fibrillation, ventricular tachyarrhythmias, sudden cardiac death, and bradyarrhythmias), synthesizing data relevant for clinical practice and identifying current knowledge gaps, presenting best practice consensus statements, and prioritizing future scientific directions. Key opportunities identified that are specific to cardiac arrhythmia include optimizing SDB screening, characterizing SDB predictive metrics and underlying pathophysiology, elucidating sex-specific and background-related influences in SDB, assessing the role of mobile health innovations, and prioritizing the conduct of rigorous and adequately powered clinical trials.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ventilation monitoring during sleep is performed by sleep test instrumentation that is uncomfortable for the patients due to the presence of the flowmeter. The objective of this study was to evaluate if an innovative type 3 wearable system, the X10X and X10Y, is able to correctly detect events of apnea and hypopnea and to classify the severity of sleep apnea without the use of a flowmeter. METHODS 40 patients with sleep disordered breathing were analyzed by continuous and simultaneous recording of X10X and X10Y and another certified type 3 system, SOMNOtouch, used for comparison. Evaluation was performed in terms of quality of respiratory signals (scores from 1, lowest, to 5, highest), duration and classification of apneas, as well as identification and duration of hypopneas. RESULTS 580 periods were evaluated. Mean quality assigned score was 3.37±1.42 and 3.25±1.35 for X10X and X10Y and SOMNOtouch, respectively. The agreement between the two systems was evaluated with grades 4 and 5 in 383 out of 580 cases. A high correlation (r2 = 0.921; p<0.001) was found between the AHI indexes obtained from the two systems. X10X and X10Y devices were able to correctly classify 72.3% of the obstructive apneas, 81% of the central apneas, 61.3% of the hypopneas, and 64.6% of the mixed apneas when compared to SOMNOtouch device. CONCLUSION The X10X and X10Y devices are able to provide a correct grading of sleep respiratory disorders without the need of a nasal cannula for respiratory flow measurement and can be considered as a type 3 sleep test device for screening tests.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the risk of long-term major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) when sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) and decreased cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) co-occur. METHODS We included consecutive patients who underwent symptom-limited cardiopulmonary exercise tests between January 1, 2005, and January 1, 2010, followed by first-time diagnostic polysomnography within 6 months. Patients were stratified based on the presence of moderate-to-severe SDB (apnea/hypopnea index ≥15 per hour) and decreased CRF defined as <70% predicted peak oxygen consumption (VO2). Long-term MACE was a composite outcome of myocardial infarction (MI), coronary artery bypass graft (CABG), percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA), and death, assessed until May 21, 2018. Cox-proportional hazard models were adjusted for factors known to influence CRF and MACE. RESULTS Of 498 included patients (60±13 years, 28.1% female), 175 (35%) had MACE (MI=17, PCI=14, CABG=13, stroke=20, TIA=12, deaths=99) at a median follow-up of 8.7 years (interquartile range=6.5 to 10.3 years). After adjusting for age, sex, beta blockers, systemic hypertension, diabetes mellitus, coronary artery disease, cardiac arrhythmia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, smoking, and use of positive airway pressure (PAP), decreased CRF alone (hazard ratio [HR]=1.91, 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.15 to 3.18; P=.01), but not SDB alone (HR=1.26, 95% CI, 0.75 to 2.13, P=.39) was associated with increased risk of MACE. Those with SDB and decreased CRF had greater risk of MACE compared with patients with decreased CRF alone (HR=1.85; 95% CI, 1.21 to 2.84; P<.005) after accounting for these confounders. The risk of MACE was attenuated in those with reduced CRF alone after additionally adjusting for adequate adherence to PAP (HR=1.59; 95% CI, 0.77 to 3.31; P=.21). CONCLUSION The incidence of MACE, especially mortality, was high in this sample. Moderate-to-severe SDB with concurrent decreased CRF was associated with higher risk of MACE than decreased CRF alone. These results highlight the importance of possibly including CRF in the risk assessment of patients with SDB and, conversely, that of screening for SDB in patients with low peak VO2.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION This work is aimed at evaluating the therapeutic effect of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) in treatment of patients with obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) combined with arrhythmias as well as clarifying the possible mechanism underpinning such an intervention. METHODS Through exclusions, a total of 108 OSAHS patients combined with arrhythmias were enrolled from June 2017 to June 2019 with full clinical information in this work. A computerized permuted block design with varying block stratification and size according to age, sex, AHI and type of arrhythmia was used to randomize 108 patients to CPAP versus sham CPAP for a period of 12-week. All were subjected to unchanged pharmacological anti-arrhythmia therapy combined with CPAP. Before and after CPAP treatment, the improvement of various arrhythmias was compared between the CPAP group and the sham-CPAP group. The levels of CRP, IL-6 and TNF-ɑ were measured simultaneously. RESULTS During follow-up, the mean (±SD) CPAP pressure used in the CPAP group was 12.3 (±3.1) cm H2O. The use of CPAP and sham CPAP was on average of 5.2 ± 0.56 and 5.1 ± 0.63 h/night, respectively. After 12 weeks of CPAP therapy, the AHI was significantly decreased and the lowest blood oxygen saturation was notably elevated in the CPAP group compared to the sham-CPAP group, P < 0.05. The CPAP therapy, compared with the sham-CPAP group, significantly reduced the incidence of all types of arrhythmia in patients with OSAHS. The level of the c-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) was significantly lower in the CPAP group than in the sham-CPAP group (P < 0.05). Pearson correlation analysis showed that the reduction in the incidence of total arrhythmias was positively correlated with the decrease of CRP, IL-6 and TNF-ɑ levels, respectively. CONCLUSION Findings from this work suggest that proper use of CPAP significantly benefits to OSAHS patients combined with arrhythmias, possibly via counteracting the inflammation.

DRUG DESIGN DEVELOPMENT AND THERAPY 2020; 14:3755-3764. [PMID: 32982180 PMCID: PMC7502603 DOI: 10.2147/dddt.s262922] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/12/2020] [Accepted: 08/08/2020] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
Purpose Atrial remodeling takes part in the pathogenesis of atrial fibrillation (AF). Aliskiren, as a direct renin inhibitor, has been shown to exert protective effects against arrhythmia. The aim of this study was to investigate the potential role of aliskiren in atrial remodeling in a chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH) rat model. Methods A total of 45 Sprague–Dawley rats were randomly assigned into three groups (n=15 per group): control group; CIH group; and CIH with aliskiren (CIH-A) group. CIH and CIH-A rats were subjected to CIH for 6 h per day for 4 weeks. Atrial fibrosis was evaluated using Masson’s trichrome staining. Electrophysiological tests were conducted in the isolated perfused hearts to assess the atrial effective refractory period and inducibility of AF. Atrial ionic remodeling was measured using the whole-cell patch-clamp technique, and Western blotting and real-time quantitative polymerase chain reactionwere performed to evaluate changes in ion channels. Results CIH induced obvious collagen deposition, and the abnormal fibrosis was significantly attenuated by aliskiren. The inducibility of AF was increased significantly in the CIH group compared with the control and CIH-A groups (23±24.5% vs 2.0±4.2% vs 5.0±7.0%, respectively; P<0.05). Compared with the control group, the densites of the calcium current (ICaL) and sodium current (INa) were reduced significantly in the CIH group (ICaL: −3.16±0.61 pA/pF vs −7.13±1.98 pA/pF; INa: −50.97±8.71 pA/pF vs −132.58±25.34 pA/pF, respectively; all P<0.05). Following intervention with aliskiren, the reductions in ICaL and INa were significantly improved, and the ionic modeling changes assessed at the mRNA and protein levels were also significantly improved. Conclusion CIH could alter atrial modeling and subsequently promote the occurrence and development of AF, which could be attenuated by treatment with aliskiren.

Transnasal humidified rapid insufflation ventilatory exchange vs. facemask oxygenation in elderly patients undergoing general anaesthesia: a randomized controlled trial. Sci Rep 2020; 10:5745.

Abstract
Transnasal humidified rapid insufflation ventilator exchange (THRIVE) may be effective in delaying hypoxia, but the efficacy of THRIVE for oxygenation in elderly patients under general anaesthesia has not been assessed. This study assessed whether THRIVE prolonged the apnoea time in the elderly patients after induction. This was a single centre, two-group, randomized controlled trial. 60 patients (65 to 80 years of age) with American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) grades I ~ III who required tracheal intubation or the application of a laryngeal mask under general anaesthesia were randomly allocated to receive oxygenation using THRIVE (100% oxygen, 30~70 litres min−1) or a facemask (100% oxygen, 10 litres min−1) during the pre-oxygenation period and during apnoea. The apnoea time, which was defined as the time from the cessation of spontaneous breathing until the SpO2 decreased to 90% or the apnoea time reached 10 minutes was recorded as the primary outcome. No significant differences were found on the baseline characteristics between the groups. The apnoea time was significantly increased (P < 0.01) in the THRIVE group. The median (interquartile range) apnoea times were 600 (600–600) s in the THRIVE group and 600 (231.5–600) s in the facemask group. No significant differences were found in the PaO2, PaCO2 and vital parameters between the THRIVE and facemask groups. No increased occurrence of complications, including haemodynamic instability, resistant arrhythmia or nasal discomfort, were reported in both the THRIVE group and the facemask group. THRIVE prolongs the apnoea time in elderly patients. THRIVE may be a more effective method for pre-oxygenation than a facemask in the elderly without pulmonary dysfunction.

Abstract
Purpose of Review Idiopathic normal-pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) is characterized clinically by ventriculomegaly, abnormal gait, falls, incontinence, and cognitive decline. This article reviews recent advances in the pathophysiology of iNPH concerning sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) and glymphatic circulation during deep sleep. Recent Findings The authors found iNPH frequently associated with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). A critical factor in iNPH is intracranial venous hypertension delaying drainage of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) into the cerebral venous sinuses. CSF-venous blood circulates in the jugular veins and finally drains into the heart. During SDB, repeated reflex attempts to breathe induce strong respiratory efforts against a closed glottis thereby increasing the negative intrathoracic pressure. This causes atrial distortion and decreases venous return to the heart resulting in retrograde intracranial venous hypertension. Additionally, repeated awakenings from OSA impede sleep-associated circulation of interstitial CSF into the glymphatic circulation contributing to hydrocephalus. Summary Sleep has become a critical element in the cognitive changes of aging including iNPH.
