Hermans H, Lodder P, Kupper N. Types of depression in patients with coronary heart disease: Results from the THORESCI study. J Affect Disord 2024; 367:806-814. [PMID: 39265861 DOI: 10.1016/j.jad.2024.09.026] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/10/2024] [Revised: 08/30/2024] [Accepted: 09/08/2024] [Indexed: 09/14/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Both coronary heart diseases (CHD) and depression are highly prevalent and bidirectionally related. The precise nature of this relationship remains unclear. Defining depressive subtypes could help unravel this relationship. Therefore, the aim of this study was to explore depressive subtypes in patients with CHD. METHODS 1530 patients (21.3 % women, mean age: 64.7 years (SD = 10.1)) were included in latent class analysis with nine indicators derived from the PHQ-9 and BDI-II representing symptoms of depression as described in the DSM-5 criteria. The best-fitting latent class model was confirmed with double cross-validation. Classes were characterized using demographic, medical, psychiatric, and cardiovascular (risk) factors. RESULTS A 3-class model demonstrated the best fit to the data, resulting in a depressed (5.4 %), fatigued (13.5 %), and non-depressed class (81.1 %). Having medical comorbidities, a history of psychiatric problems, negative affectivity, and anxiety symptoms increased the odds of belonging to the depressed group (OR 3.02, 95%CI 1.19-7.68, OR 3.61, 95%CI 1.44-9.02, OR 1.16, 95%CI 1.04-1.30, and OR 1.89, 95%CI 1.66-2.15, respectively). Belonging to the fatigued group was associated with increased odds of having an elective PCI (OR 2.12, 95%CI 1.27-3.55), insufficient physical activity (OR 2.19, 95%CI 1.20-3.99), comorbid medical conditions (OR 2.15, 95%CI 1.21-3.81), a history of psychiatric problems (OR 2.25, 95%CI 1.25-4.05), and anxiety symptoms (OR 1.48, 95%CI 1.34-1.63) compared with the non-depressed group. LIMITATIONS Future studies should include more people with depressive symptoms. CONCLUSIONS Patients with CHD and medical or psychiatric risk factors should be offered support to decrease or prevent depressive or fatigue symptoms.

Abstract
Background Pichia pastoris-secreted delta sleep inducing peptide and crossing the blood-brain barrier peptides (DSIP-CBBBP) fusion peptides holds significant promise for its potential sleep-enhancing and neurotransmitter balancing effects. This study investigates these properties using a p-chlorophenylalanine (PCPA) -induced insomnia model in mice, an approach akin to traditional methods evaluating sleep-promoting activities in fusion peptides. Aim of the study The research aims to elucidate the sleep-promoting mechanism of DSIP-CBBBP, exploring its impact on neurotransmitter levels and sleep regulation, and to analyze its composition and structure. Materials and methods Using a PCPA-induced insomnia mouse model, the study evaluates the sleep-promoting effects of DSIP-CBBBP. The peptide's influence on neurotransmitters such as 5-HT, glutamate, dopamine, and melatonin is assessed. The functions of DSIP-CBBBP are characterized using biochemical and animal insomnia-induced behavior tests and compared without CBBBP. Results DSIP-CBBBP demonstrates a capacity to modulate neurotransmitter levels, indicated by changes in 5-HT, glutamate, DA, and melatonin. DSIP-CBBBP shows a better restorative effect than DSIP on neurotransmitter imbalance and the potential to enhance sleep. Conclusion The study underscores DSIP-CBBBP potential in correcting neurotransmitter dysregulation and promoting sleep, hinting at its utility in sleep-related therapies.

Abstract
The purpose of this research was to assess the association between sleep disorders and coronary heart disease (CHD) using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) database. This cross-sectional study included 9886 eligible participants with valid data on sleep disorders and CHD from the NHANES from 2011 to 2014. The complex NHANES sampling led to use of sample weights in analyses. Various statistical methods and covariates were utilized. Significance was set at P < .05. Receiver operating characteristic curves were used to assess the diagnostic efficacy of sleep disorders in relation to CHD. Sleep disorders were significantly associated with CHD (P < .001). In the model corrected for age, sex, race, hypertension, diabetes, and uric acid as covariates, sleep disorders and CHD remained significantly associated (P < .001, odds ratio = 1.83 [95% confidence interval: 1.31-2.58]). The correlation between sleep disorders and CHD varies by age and gender. Sleep disorders have some predictive value for CHD (0.5 < area under curve ≤ 0.7). Sleep disorders were associated with and predictive of CHD risk, warranting consideration in clinical assessments.

Effects of integrative therapy with Du Meridian moxibustion, ear acupuncture, and alprazolam on cardiac function and neurotransmitter levels in patients with coronary heart disease and insomnia: An observational study. Medicine (Baltimore) 2024; 103:e39318. [PMID: 39183410 PMCID: PMC11346902 DOI: 10.1097/md.0000000000039318] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/01/2024] [Revised: 04/18/2024] [Accepted: 07/25/2024] [Indexed: 08/27/2024] Open
Abstract
To explore the effects of Du Meridian moxibustion combined with ear acupuncture on clinical symptoms and serum neurotransmitters in patients with coronary heart disease and insomnia. This study is a retrospective study. From June 2021 to May 2023, 116 patients with coronary heart disease and insomnia treated at our hospital were selected as subjects. They were divided into 2 groups according to the treatment. The control group received treatment with alprazolam, while the experimental group received Du Meridian moxibustion combined with ear acupuncture in addition to alprazolam treatment. The efficacy of the 2 groups was compared, and the levels of cardiac function indicators, serum melatonin, leptin, and neurotransmitters were measured. The total effectiveness rate in the experimental group was 93.10% (with a cure rate of 36.21%, a significant improvement rate of 41.38%, and an effective rate of 15.52%), which was significantly higher than the 79.31% in the control group (with a cure rate of 24.14%, a significant improvement rate of 32.76%, and an effective rate of 22.41%) (P < .05). Both groups exhibited an increase in left ventricular ejection fraction, stroke volume, and cardiac output after treatment compared to before treatment. Additionally, left ventricular end-systolic diameter decreased after treatment compared to before treatment, but the cardiac function was compared between the 2 groups after treatment (P > .05). In both groups, serum melatonin and serotonin (5-HT) levels increased after treatment compared to before treatment, while serum leptin, dopamine, and glutamate levels decreased after treatment compared to before treatment. Furthermore, the experimental group had higher serum melatonin, 5-HT, and gamma-aminobutyric acid levels compared to the control group, and lower serum leptin, dopamine, and glutamate levels compared to the control group (P < .05). The serum traditional Chinese medicine syndrome score and Pittsburgh sleep quality index score of the 2 groups decreased after treatment, and the experimental group was lower than the conventional group (P < .05). The combination of Du Meridian acupuncture with ear acupuncture in the treatment of insomnia in coronary heart disease can regulate the expression of serum melatonin, leptin, and neurotransmitters, alleviate symptoms, and improve therapeutic efficacy.

Effects of combined morbid insomnia and sleep apnea on long-term cardiovascular risk and all-cause mortality in elderly patients: a prospective cohort study. BMC Geriatr 2024; 24:622. [PMID: 39034410 PMCID: PMC11265059 DOI: 10.1186/s12877-024-05147-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/04/2022] [Accepted: 06/13/2024] [Indexed: 07/23/2024] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE It is reported that insomnia and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) increase the incidence of adverse cardiovascular events. The aim of this study was to analyze the risk of cardiovascular disease and mortality in elderly patients with comorbid insomnia and obstructive sleep apnea (COMISA). METHODS We included 868 elderly patients with OSA who underwent sleep monitoring at a multicenter sleep room from January 2015 to October 2017. We collected demographic data, clinical features, medical history, sleep parameters, and laboratory findings. Cox proportional hazards analysis was used to identify the relationship between COMISA and adverse cardiovascular events and all-cause mortality. RESULTS There were 181 elderly patients with COMISA. The median follow-up was 43 months, during which we observed major adverse cardiac events (MACE) in 90 patients. The Kaplan-Meier survival curve indicated a significant relationship between COMISA and MACE (Plog Rank < 0.001). Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that COMISA increased the incidence of MACE (HR = 2.328, 95% CI: 1.349-4.018, P = 0.002), hospitalization for unstable angina (HR = 2.915, 95% CI: 1.397-6.081, P = 0.004), and the combination of all events (HR = 2.301, 95% CI: 1.393-3.803, P = 0.001). However, there were no significant differences in cardiovascular death, all-cause mortality, myocardial infarction, or hospitalized heart failure in patients with COMISA (P > 0.05). Subgroup analyses showed that among COMISA patients, male sex (HR = 2.800, 95% CI: 1.458-5.377, P = 0.002), age < 70 years (HR = 4.050, 95% CI: 2.022-8.115, P < 0.001), and overweight and obesity (HR = 2.482, 95% CI: 1.383-4.453, P = 0.002) were associated with a higher risk of MACE. CONCLUSIONS Our results showed that COMISA increased the risk of MACE, unstable angina, and the compound occurrence of all events. Male, overweight or obese COMISA patients under 70 years of age have an increased risk of MACE.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Insomnia is common in college students, but its impact on health and wellbeing is often neglected. Enhancing sleep quality through targeted interventions could improve overall health and reduce the risk of consequent co-morbidities and mental health problems. Qigong exercises have been shown to significantly improve sleep quality and relieve insomnia. Three-circle Post Standing (TCPS) can help integrate body, breath, and mind, a fundamental principle of Qigong that promotes holistic wellbeing. In this clinical trial, we aim to (1) evaluate the feasibility, safety, and therapeutic efficacy of administering TCPS to improve sleep quality and quality of life in college students with insomnia; (2) explore the neurophysiological mechanisms underlying the mind adjustments mediated by TCPS in insomnia; (3) investigate body and breath pathophysiology mediated by TCPS in insomnia; and (4) assess the long-term efficacy of TCPS in terms of sleep quality and quality of life. METHODS This will be a prospective, parallel, four-arm, double-blind randomized controlled trial to investigate the effects and underlying mechanisms of TCPS on college students with insomnia. One hundred college students meeting diagnostic criteria for insomnia will be randomly assigned to receive either 14 weeks of standardized TCPS training (two weeks of centralized training followed by 12 weeks of supervised training) or sham-control Post Standing training. Efficacy outcomes including sleep quality, quality of life, neurophysiological assessments, plantar pressure, biomechanical balance, and physical measures will be collected at baseline, eight weeks (mid-point of supervised training), and 14 weeks (end of supervised training). Sleep quality and quality of life will also be evaluated during the four- and eight-week follow-up. DISCUSSION This trial will be an important milestone in the development of new therapeutic approaches for insomnia and should be easily implementable by college students with insomnia. The neuro- and pathophysiological assessments will provide new insights into the mechanisms underlying TCPS. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION This trial has been registered in the China Clinical Trials Registry (registration number: ChiCTR2400080763).

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Preoperative chronic stress (CS) is associated with postoperative brain injury in patients undergoing open heart cardiac surgery. This research is to explore the potential molecular biological mechanisms of brain damage following cardiac surgery in preoperative CS rats by the analyses combining proteomics and metabolomics. METHODS We constructed the chronic unpredictable stress (CUS) and cardiac surgery models in adult rats. We proved the brain injury in CUS cardiac surgery rats by Hematoxylin-Eosin (H&E) staining, followed by separating the hippocampal tissue and investigating the potential mechanisms of brain injury by the methods of data-independent acquisition proteomics and untargeted metabolomics. RESULTS The signaling pathways of glycoproteins and metabolism of amino acids were the main possible mechanisms of brain injury in CUS rats following cardiac surgery according to the proteomics and metabolomics. In addition, the pathways of animo acids metabolism such as the pathways of lysine degradation and β-alanine metabolism may be the main mechanism of cardiac surgery related brain injury in preoperative CUS rats. CONCLUSIONS The pathways of animo acids metabolism such as lysine degradation and β-alanine metabolism may be the potential mechanisms of brain injury in CUS rats following cardiac surgery. We should focus on the varieties of bioproteins and metabolites in these pathways, and related changes in other signaling pathways induced by the two pathways.

Abstract
The inherent nature of personality serves as a predisposing, and possible maintaining, factor of insomnia. However, methodological differences limit the ability to draw causal conclusions regarding the specific traits involved in the aetiology of the disorder. This systematic review of the relationship between insomnia and personality provides a narrative synthesis of the literature to date. Here, we identified N = 76 studies meeting the inclusion/exclusion criteria. The outcomes reliably evidenced the experience of insomnia to be associated with personality traits that are typically considered to be negative or maladaptive in nature. More specifically, insomnia was related to neuroticism, introversion, perfectionistic doubts and concerns, elevated personal standards, negative affect, social inhibition and avoidance, hysteria, hypochondriasis, psychasthenia, impulsive behaviour, anger, hostility, and psychopathic tendencies, schizotypal and borderline traits, reduced conscientiousness and self-directedness, and negatively perceived perception of the self. Several studies examined the role that personality plays in predicting the treatment efficacy and adherence of CBTi. Moving forward, longitudinal research, methodological consistency, the mediating role of treatment outcomes and adherence, and clinical and population representative samples should be prioritised. Methodological strengths and limitations of the literature are discussed alongside the next steps that should be taken to advance our understanding of the literature.

Abstract
Anxiety and anxiety disorders are associated with adverse cardiovascular outcomes, and reduced quality of life. Despite this, no comprehensive study on the global prevalence of anxiety symptoms and disorders among adult cardiology outpatients exists. This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to provide cardiologists with a precise estimate of the prevalence of anxiety in their outpatient clinics. PubMed, Embase, Cochrane and PsycINFO databases and Google Scholar were searched from database inception to January 23, 2023. Data characteristics were extracted independently by 2 investigators. Ninety-three studies, n = 36,687 participants across 31 countries, were included. Global prevalence of anxiety symptoms/disorders was 28.9% (95%CI 25.7-32.4; 8927/36, 687; I2 = 97.33; n = 93). The highest rates were found in patients presenting with hypertension, 43.6%. Subgroup analyses revealed higher prevalence estimates when using self-report screening compared to gold-standard diagnostic interview. When using diagnostic interview, the highest rates were reported in outpatients with undifferentiated chest pain/palpitations, 19·0%. Panic disorder was the most frequent diagnosis 15.3%, and rates were significantly higher in patients with undifferentiated chest pain/palpitations compared to ischemic heart disease. Higher rates of anxiety were found in studies of outpatients from developing countries, and female outpatients tended to have higher rates compared to males. Anxiety occurred frequently among cardiology outpatients and at a higher rate than estimated in the general population. Given the impact anxiety has on patient outcomes, it is important that effective identification and management strategies be developed to support cardiologists in identifying and treating these conditions in their clinics.

Abstract
Introduction Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is an important treatment target in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) and is associated with poor outcomes. Therefore, it is of clinical importance to identify the key determinants of HRQoL among these patients. There is, however, limited knowledge of how a comprehensive set of psychosocial factors influence HRQoL. We aimed to determine the relative associations of clinical and psychosocial factors with mental and physical components of HRQoL in a sample of CHD outpatients. Methods This cross-sectional study included 1,042 patients 2-36 (mean 16) months after a CHD event recruited from two general Norwegian hospitals with a combined catchment area making up 7% of the Norwegian population, representative with regards to demographic and clinical factors. We collected data on HRQoL, demographics, comorbidities, coronary risk factors, and psychosocial factors. HRQoL was assessed using the Short Form 12 (SF12), which comprises a Mental Component Scale (MCS), and the Physical Component Scale (PCS). Crude and multi-adjusted linear regression analyses were used to investigate the association between covariates and MCS and PCS. Results Mean age was 61 [standard deviation (SD) 10] years, 20% were females, 18% had type D personality, 20% significant depression symptoms, 14% significant symptoms of anxiety whereas 45% reported insomnia. The presence of type D personality (β: -0.19), significant symptoms of depression (β: -0.15), and the presence of insomnia (β: -0.13) were negatively associated with MCS, but not PCS in multi-adjusted analyses. The presence of chronic kidney disease (β: -0.11) was associated with reduced MCS, whereas the presence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (β: -0.08) and low physical activity (β: -0.14) were negatively associated with PCS. Younger age was associated with lower MCS, whereas older age was associated with lower PCS. Discussion We conclude that Type D personality, depressive symptoms, insomnia, and chronic kidney disease were the strongest determinants of the mental component of HRQoL. Assessing and managing these psychological factors among CHD outpatients may improve their mental HRQoL.

Self-reported insomnia symptoms, sleep duration, chronotype and the risk of acute myocardial infarction (AMI): a prospective study in the UK Biobank and the HUNT Study. Eur J Epidemiol 2023:10.1007/s10654-023-00981-x.

Abstract
AbstractInsomnia and short/long sleep duration increase the risk of AMI, but their interaction with each other or with chronotype is not well known. We investigated the prospective joint associations of any two of these sleep traits on risk of AMI. We included 302 456 and 31 091 participants without past AMI episodes from UK Biobank (UKBB; 2006–10) and the Trøndelag Health Study (HUNT2; 1995–97), respectively. A total of 6 833 and 2 540 incident AMIs were identified during an average 11.7 and 21.0 years follow-up, in UKBB and HUNT2, respectively. Compared to those who reported normal sleep duration (7–8 h) without insomnia symptoms, the Cox proportional hazard ratios (HRs) for incident AMI in UKBB among participants who reported normal, short and long sleep duration with insomnia symptoms were 1.07 (95% CI 0.99, 1.15), 1.16 (95% CI 1.07, 1.25) and 1.40 (95% CI 1.21, 1.63), respectively. The corresponding HRs in HUNT2 were 1.09 (95% CI 0.95, 1.25), 1.17 (95% CI 0.87, 1.58) and 1.02 (95% CI 0.85, 1.23). The HRs for incident AMI in UKBB among evening chronotypes were 1.19 (95% CI 1.10, 1.29) for those who had insomnia symptoms, 1.18 (95% CI 1.08, 1.29) for those with short sleep duration, and 1.21 (95% CI 1.07, 1.37) for those with long sleep duration, compared to morning chronotypes without another sleep symptom. The relative excess risk for incident AMI in UKBB due to interaction between insomnia symptoms and long sleep duration was 0.25 (95% CI 0.01, 0.48). Insomnia symptoms with long sleep duration may contribute more than just an additive effect of these sleep traits on the risk of AMI.

Abstract
Insomnia is a sleep disorder which severely affects patients mood, quality of life and social functioning, serves as a trigger or risk factor to a variety of diseases such as depression, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, obesity and diabetes, and even increases the risk of suicide, and has become an increasingly widespread concern worldwide. Considerable research on insomnia has been conducted in modern medicine in recent years and encouraging results have been achieved in the fields of genetics and neurobiology. Unfortunately, however, the pathogenesis of insomnia remains elusive to modern medicine, and pharmacological treatment of insomnia has been regarded as conventional. However, in the course of treatment, pharmacological treatment itself is increasingly being questioned due to potential dependence and drug resistance and is now being replaced by cognitive behavior therapy as the first-line treatment. As an important component of complementary and alternative medicine, traditional Chinese medicine, especially non-pharmacological treatment methods such as acupuncture, is gaining increasing attention worldwide. In this article, we discuss the combination of traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture, and medicine to treat insomnia based on neurobiology in the context of modern medicine.

Abstract
Background and Objectives Depression and anxiety symptoms are highly prevalent in coronary heart disease (CHD) patients and associated with poor outcome. Most psychological treatments have shown limited effectiveness on anxiety and depression in these patients. This study evaluates the feasibility of the attention training technique (ATT) in CHD patients with symptoms of anxiety and/or depression. Methods Five consecutive CHD patients with significant depression and anxiety symptoms with Hospital Anxiety and Depression rating scale (HADS) -anxiety or -depression subscale score > 8 received 6 weekly group-sessions of ATT in an open trial. Outcomes included feasibility and symptoms measured by HADS, at baseline, post-treatment and at 6 months follow-up. We also assessed psychiatric diagnoses, type D personality, insomnia, worry, and rumination. Results The sample comprised five men with a mean age of 59.9 (SD 4.4) years. Four of the patients attended all six sessions, and one patient attended all but one session. Mean HADS-A scores at baseline, post-treatment, and follow-up were 9.4 (SD 3.0), 4.2 (SD 3.0), and 4.0 (SD 2.5), and for HADS-D 8.6 (SD 3.3), 3.0 (SD 3.7), and 1.6 (SD 1.5), respectively. The results showed clinically significant changes in anxiety, depression, psychiatric disorders, insomnia, worry, and rumination. Statistically significant changes were found from pre- to post-treatment scores for HADS-A and worry, which were maintained at follow-up, and HADS-D scores significantly decreased from pre-treatment to 6-months follow-up. Conclusions ATT in a group format appears to be a feasible stand-alone metacognitive treatment for CHD patients. An adequately powered randomized controlled trial is warranted.

Abstract
Given the limited data available, the aim of this study was to examine the 10-year cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk associated with comorbid insomnia disorder and its specific subtypes in apnoeic individuals. Data from 1104 apnoeic individuals recruited from the database of the Erasme Hospital Sleep Laboratory were analysed. Only apnoeic individuals with a Framingham Risk Score ≥10% were included in the group at moderate-to-high 10-year CVD risk. Logistic regression analyses were conducted to examine the risk of 10-year CVD risk associated with comorbid insomnia disorder and its specific subtypes in apnoeic individuals. Moderate-to-high 10-year CVD risk was present in 59.6% of the apnoeic individuals in our sample. After adjustment for the main confounding factors, multivariate logistic regression analyses revealed that comorbid insomnia disorder and, more particularly, its subtype with short sleep duration were significantly associated with moderate-to-high 10-year CVD risk in apnoeic individuals. In this study, we demonstrate that comorbid insomnia disorder and, more specifically, its subtype with short sleep duration appear to have a negative cumulative effect on 10-year CVD risk in apnoeic individuals, which justifies more systematic research and adequate therapeutic management of this disorder to allow for better cardiovascular disease prevention in this particular subpopulation.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Most patients with coronary heart disease experience sleep disturbances and low cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF), but their relationship during cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is still unclear. This article details a protocol for the study of sleep trajectory in patients with coronary heart disease during CR and the relationship between sleep and CRF. A better understanding of the relationship between sleep and CRF on patient outcomes can improve sleep management strategies. METHODS AND ANALYSIS This is a longitudinal study with a recruitment target of 101 patients after percutaneous cardiac intervention from the Seventh People's Hospital of Shanghai, China. Data collection will include demographic characteristics, medical history, physical examination, blood sampling, echocardiography and the results of cardiopulmonary exercise tests. The information provided by a 6-min walk test will be used to supplement the CPET. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index will be used to understand the sleep conditions of the participants in the past month. The Patient Health Questionnaire and General Anxiety Disorder Scale will be used to assess depression and anxiety, respectively. All participants will be required to wear an actigraphy on their wrists for 72 hours to monitor objective sleep conditions. This information will be collected four times within 6 months of CR, and patients will be followed up for 1 year. The growth mixture model will be used to analyse the longitudinal sleep data. The generalised estimating equation will be used to examine the associations between sleep and CRF during CR. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION Ethical approval for this observational longitudinal study was granted by the Shanghai Seventh People's Hospital Ethics Committee on 23 April 2021 (2021-7th-HIRB-012). Study results will be disseminated in peer-reviewed journal articles.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVES Insomnia is highly prevalent and associated with anxiety and depression in patients with coronary heart disease patients. The development of effective psychological interventions is needed. Worry and rumination are potential risk factors for the maintenance of insomnia, anxiety, and depression that may be modified by psychological treatment grounded in the Self-Regulatory Executive Function model. However, the relationships between worry, rumination, anxiety and depression, and insomnia are not known. Therefore, we investigated these relationships both cross-sectionally and longitudinally among patients with coronary heart disease. METHODS A cross-sectional study consecutively included 1,082 patients in 2014-2015, and 686 were followed up after mean of 4.7 years. Data were gathered from hospital records and self-report questionnaires comprising assessment of worry (Penn State Worry Questionnaire), rumination (Ruminative Responses Scale), anxiety and depression (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale), and insomnia (Bergen Insomnia Scale). RESULTS Insomnia correlated moderately with all other psychological variables (R 0.18-0.50, all P values < .001). After adjustments for anxiety and depression, odds ratios for insomnia at baseline were 1.27 (95% confidence interval 1.08-1.50) and 1.60 (95% confidence interval 1.31-1.94) per 10 points increase of worry and rumination, respectively. Corresponding odds ratios for insomnia at follow-up were 1.28 (95% confidence interval 1.05-1.55) and 1.38 (95% confidence interval 1.09-1.75). Depression was no longer significantly associated with insomnia after adjustments for worry and rumination, but anxiety remained significant. CONCLUSIONS Worry and rumination predicted insomnia both cross-sectionally and prospectively, even after controlling for anxiety and depression, although anxiety remained significant. Future studies may test psychological interventions targeting these factors in patients with coronary heart disease and insomnia. CITATION Frøjd LA, Papageorgiou C, Munkhaugen J, et al.

Abstract
Introduction The Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) is a self-administrated questionnaire most frequently used to assess insomnia in clinical and non-clinical populations. Objective To evaluate the psychometric properties of the Arabic ISI among patients diagnosed with chronic diseases. Methods A cross-sectional and descriptive correlational design was used. A total of 1,005 patients with chronic diseases completed the seven items of the Arabic ISI version. The scale was assessed in terms of acceptability, internal consistency, and validity. Construct validity was explored with the use of principal factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis, to examine the dimensional structure of the ISI. Results The Cronbach's alpha coefficient for the Arabic ISI was 0.82, which shows good reliability. The total ISI score did not have floor or ceiling effects. There was evidence of discriminate validity. The Principal Component Analysis (PCA) indicated two factors (four items loading on Factor I and three items loading on Factor II). The construct validity of PCA in terms of two factors was explored by confirmatory factor analysis to examine the dimensional structure of the ISI. The confirmatory factor analysis showed an absolute fit for the two-factor model. Conclusion The results support the two-factor structure of ISI. The Arabic version of the ISI demonstrated good reliability and validity for assessing insomnia in patients diagnosed with chronic diseases.

Abstract
Insomnia symptoms are associated with increased risk of heart failure (HF) and cardiovascular (CV) mortality. We hypothesised that insomnia symptoms are cross-sectionally associated with increased cardiac troponin I (cTnI), a biomarker of subclinical myocardial injury, and that phenotyping by insomnia symptoms and cTnI enhances longitudinal risk stratification in the general population. In a population-based study, cTnI was measured in 8,398 participants (median age 49 years, 55% women), who had answered questionnaires regarding insomnia symptoms. Association between cTnI and insomnia symptoms was assessed by linear regression analysis for each response category of a sleep questionnaire. Insomnia symptoms were defined as having difficulty falling asleep almost every night, difficulty maintaining sleep almost every night, and/or non-restorative sleep once a week or more. The primary outcome measure was a composite endpoint of CV mortality or first admission for HF. In all, 844 participants reported insomnia symptoms, 585 (69%) were women. Those with insomnia symptoms had marginally, but significantly higher median cTnI than those without insomnia symptoms, (median [interquartile range] 3.4 [2.4-5.2] ng/L versus 3.2 [2.2-4.9] ng/L; p = .014), but there was no association between any insomnia symptom and cTnI in unadjusted linear regression models (β 0.06, 95% confidence interval [CI] -0.01 to 0.12). In adjusted analyses, participants with insomnia symptoms and increased cTnI were at increased risk of the composite endpoint (hazard ratio 1.71, 95% CI 1.04-2.79) compared to participants with insomnia symptoms and low cTnI. In the general population, insomnia symptoms are not associated with biochemical evidence of subclinical myocardial injury.

Abstract
Insomnia is an important but widely ignored health problem in modern society. Despite unequivocal evidence on its large prevalence, health and social impacts, comorbidities, and various pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic (behavioral and device-based) approaches, its effective management is still difficult and often incomplete. This article discusses the role of insomnia in modern societies, newer complicating factors, and its overall social and public health burden. Acute insomnia and sleep difficulties during pandemic and confinement are reviewed. The article also focuses on newer developments accumulating in the field of insomnia and possible future trends.
