Background Obesity is the main risk factor for Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA). Previous studies have shown that OSA affects ~50-70% of patients with obesity and exacerbates sympathetic activation, inflammation and endothelial dysfunction in these patients. However, it is still unclear whether OSA exacerbates cardiovascular (CV) events in patients with obesity. Purpose To test the hypothesis that OSA increases CV events in patients with obesity regardless of its grade. Methods We conducted a retrospective cohort analysis using the TriNetX Global Health Research Network through anonymised electronic medical records. We identified adult patients >40 years with obesity without previous anti-obesity therapy (GLP-1 agonists and tirzepatide) or bariatric surgery. We excluded patients with previous episodes of myocardial infarction and/or stroke. We used multiple code recommendations for tracking the presence of OSA, according to the international Classification of Diseases 10th edition: G47.33, G47.3, G47.39 or G47.30. We performed a propensity score matching in a 1:1 ratio for age, sex, ethnicity, hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, smoking and chronic kidney disease. The combined endpoint included the incidence of 3-point MACE (non-fatal myocardial infarction, non-fatal stroke and all-cause mortality). Results In a crude analysis, patients with obesity+OSA represented approximately 15% of the sample. After the propensity score matching, 1,534,850 patients with obesity were included for the analysis (50% in each group: with and without OSA). After a median of 730 days of follow-up, OSA increased the incidence of combined events by 11% (OR:1.11; 95% CI: 1.09 – 1.13). A stratified analysis by different grades of obesity revealed that this result was driven by more severe classes of obesity: grade 1 (OR: 0.92; 95% CI: 0.85 – 1.00), grade 2 (OR: 1.06; 95% CI: 0.98 –1.17) and grade 3 (OR:1.08; 95% CI: 1.04 – 1.13). Conclusion OSA is associated with a modest increase in the incidence of MACE in patients with obesity. These results are probably attenuated by not capturing potential OSA underdiagnosis and OSA treatment in patients with obesity. Increasing OSA awareness in patients with obesity may be an interesting strategy for decreasing the cardiovascular burden associated with obesity in parallel to the improvement of sleep-related symptoms in these patients.
肥胖是阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停(OSA)的主要危险因素。先前的研究表明,OSA影响约50-70%的肥胖患者,并加重这些患者的交感神经激活、炎症和内皮功能障碍。然而,目前尚不清楚OSA是否会加剧肥胖患者的心血管事件。目的验证OSA增加肥胖患者心血管事件的假设,无论其程度如何。方法利用TriNetX全球健康研究网络通过匿名电子病历进行回顾性队列分析。我们确定了成年患者&;gt;40年未接受过抗肥胖治疗(GLP-1激动剂和替西帕肽)或减肥手术的肥胖患者。我们排除了既往有心肌梗死和/或中风发作的患者。根据国际疾病分类第10版:G47.33, G47.3, G47.39或G47.30,我们使用了多个代码建议来跟踪OSA的存在。我们对年龄、性别、种族、高血压、糖尿病、血脂异常、吸烟和慢性肾病按1:1的比例进行了倾向评分匹配。联合终点包括3点MACE(非致死性心肌梗死、非致死性卒中和全因死亡率)的发生率。结果在粗略分析中,肥胖+OSA患者约占样本的15%。在倾向评分匹配后,1534850例肥胖患者被纳入分析(每组50%:有和没有OSA)。在中位随访730天后,OSA使合并事件的发生率增加11% (OR:1.11; 95% CI: 1.09 - 1.13)。不同肥胖等级的分层分析显示,这一结果是由更严重的肥胖等级驱动的:1级(OR: 0.92; 95% CI: 0.85 - 1.00), 2级(OR: 1.06; 95% CI: 0.98 - 1.17)和3级(OR:1.08; 95% CI: 1.04 - 1.13)。结论OSA与肥胖患者MACE发生率的适度增加有关。这些结果可能由于没有捕捉到肥胖患者潜在的OSA诊断不足和OSA治疗而减弱。提高肥胖患者的OSA意识可能是一种有趣的策略,可以减少与肥胖相关的心血管负担,同时改善这些患者的睡眠相关症状。

Background and aims: Evidence on the associations between tropical cyclone (TC) exposure and acute coronary syndrome (ACS) remains limited, particularly in developing countries. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the short-term association between TC exposure and ACS incidence and explore potential effect modifiers.

Methods: This time-stratified case-crossover study included ACS patients from a nationwide registry in mainland China between 2015 and 2022. The Willoughby wind field model was chosen to estimate TC-associated wind speeds, with TC exposure defined as the occurrence of daily maximum sustained wind speeds ≥17.5 m/s. The outcomes included ACS and its subtypes, namely, ST-elevation myocardial infarction, non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction, and unstable angina. Conditional quasi-Poisson models with distributed lag non-linear models were applied to assess TC-ACS associations and lag structures. Subgroup analyses were conducted to identify potential effect modifiers.

Results: A total of 2 563 780 individuals (64.0 ± 12.4 years; 68% males) were included. Compared with non-TC days, TC days were associated with longer delays in self-referral to the hospital (5.8 vs 5.3 h) and longer admission-to-catheterization times (1.0 vs 0.9 h). Over the 0-3-day period following TC exposure, the risk of developing ACS increased by 14% (95% confidence interval: 2% to 27%). Stronger associations were observed among males, individuals with lower education levels, and those with more ACS risk factors.

Conclusions: TC exposure may increase the ACS burden by simultaneously increasing the risk of incidence and delaying treatment. The government, the public, and healthcare institutions must collaborate proactively to alleviate the burden of TC-associated ACS.

背景和目的:关于热带气旋(TC)暴露与急性冠脉综合征(ACS)之间关联的证据仍然有限,特别是在发展中国家。因此,本研究旨在探讨TC暴露与ACS发病率的短期关系,并探讨潜在的效应调节因子。方法:这项时间分层的病例交叉研究纳入了2015年至2022年中国大陆全国登记的ACS患者。选择Willoughby风场模型估算TC相关风速,TC暴露定义为每日最大持续风速≥17.5 m/s。结果包括ACS及其亚型,即st段抬高型心肌梗死、非st段抬高型心肌梗死和不稳定型心绞痛。采用具有分布滞后的非线性模型的条件拟泊松模型来评估TC-ACS的关联和滞后结构。进行亚组分析以确定潜在的效果调节剂。结果:共纳入2 563 780例(64.0±12.4岁,男性68%)。与非TC天数相比,TC天数与自我转诊到医院的延迟时间更长(5.8比5.3小时)和入院到导尿时间更长(1.0比0.9小时)相关。在TC暴露后的0-3天内,发生ACS的风险增加了14%(95%置信区间:2%至27%)。在男性、受教育程度较低的个体和ACS危险因素较多的个体中观察到更强的相关性。结论:TC暴露可能增加ACS的发病风险和延迟治疗,从而加重ACS的负担。政府、公众和医疗机构必须积极合作,减轻与tc相关的ACS的负担。

Transcatheter correction has been a new innovative treatment for superior sinus venosus defects (SVDs). A dedicated long partially covered XXL stent has been developed specifically for this procedure. Its safety and efficacy have to be investigated. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of transcatheter SVDs correction with the OTIMUS XXL® partially covered stent. A prospective, nationwide, multi-center cohort study with approval to include 60 consecutive patients started in June 2023. Preliminary early and mid-term (6 months) outcomes were collected. Results: Thirty adults were enrolled over one year in 5 centers (mean age 61 years; female, 73%; dyspnea, 90%; history of atrial arrhythmia, 43%; pulmonary hypertension, 40%; heart failure, 47%; mean indexed right ventricular end-telediastolic volume= 140mL/m² on MRI). Simulation of transcatheter SVD closure was done virtually and on 3D printed models in all cases. All procedures were successful. Pulmonary vein pathway was protected in 57% of cases. Stents of 100mm and 80mm were implanted in 67% and 33% of cases respectively, using Gemini balloons. Additional stents were implanted at the upper part in 3 patients (10%). An ostium secundum atrial septal defect was closed during the same procedure in 2 patients (6.7%). No stent embolization, pulmonary vein compression, significant residual shunt or tamponade were observed. No peri-procedural death was reported during the follow-up. In one patient, a moderate pericardial effusion was observed 7 days after the procedure and resolved spontaneously. A flat thrombus of 4x22mm was fortuitously observed upholstering the bottom part of the covered stent on the systematic computed tomography scan control at 6 months. No other stent related adverse event. Transcatheter SVDs correction using OPTIMUS XXL® covered stents is safe and effective with excellent early and mid-term outcomes.
经导管矫正已成为治疗上静脉窦缺损的新方法。专门为该手术开发了一种专用的长部分覆盖的XXL支架。它的安全性和有效性还有待研究。本研究旨在评估OTIMUS XXL®部分覆盖支架在经导管svd矫正中的有效性和安全性。一项前瞻性、全国性、多中心队列研究已获批准,包括60名连续患者,于2023年6月开始。收集早期和中期(6个月)的初步结果。结果:30名成人在1年内被纳入5个中心(平均年龄61岁,女性占73%,呼吸困难占90%,房性心律失常史占43%,肺动脉高压占40%,心力衰竭占47%,右心室舒张末期平均指数值= 140mL/m²)。在所有病例中,通过虚拟和3D打印模型模拟经导管SVD闭合。所有手术均成功。57%的病例肺静脉通路得到保护。使用Gemini球囊植入100mm和80mm支架的比例分别为67%和33%。3例(10%)患者在上半部分植入了额外的支架。2例(6.7%)患者在同一手术过程中关闭了第二口房间隔缺损。未见支架栓塞、肺静脉受压、明显残余分流或填塞。随访期间无手术期间死亡报告。一名患者术后7天出现中度心包积液,并自行消退。在6个月的系统ct扫描控制中,偶然发现覆盖支架底部有4x22mm的扁平血栓。无其他支架相关不良事件。使用OPTIMUS XXL®覆盖支架进行经导管svd矫正是安全有效的,具有良好的早期和中期结果。

Background Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading cause of global mortality, necessitating robust biomarkers for improved risk stratification and early intervention. Plasma lysozyme has demonstrated excellent diagnostic accuracy for CAD. However, its prognostic significance in long-term mortality remains unexplored. This study investigates the association between baseline arterial lysozyme concentration and all-cause mortality in a well-characterised cohort, evaluating its potential as a predictive biomarker for adverse outcomes in CAD. Methods We performed a long-term follow-up of a previously established cohort of 399 patients who underwent coronary angiography. Arterial lysozyme concentrations were measured via enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), with clinical and demographic data recorded at baseline. The primary endpoint was all-cause mortality, determined through linkage with national death registries and hospital records. Survival analysis was conducted using Kaplan-Meier curves. Cox proportional hazards regression models were employed to assess the independent association of lysozyme with mortality, adjusting for key confounders including age, sex, comorbidities, and traditional cardiovascular risk factors. A data-driven threshold of 1.5 was identified as the optimal cut-off for defining high-risk individuals. Results Over a median follow-up of 16 years (IQR: 15–20), elevated arterial lysozyme concentration was significantly associated with increased mortality risk in both univariate (HR = 1.06, 95% CI: 1.03–1.08, p &lt; 0.001) and multivariate analysis (HR = 1.10, 95% CI: 1.04–1.15, p &lt; 0.001). Stratification using the 1.5 threshold demonstrated high sensitivity (86.9%) and specificity (87.3%) for CAD risk. Patients in the high lysozyme group had a significantly increased mortality hazard (univariate HR = 2.42, 95% CI: 1.63–3.60, p &lt; 0.001; multivariate HR = 2.07, 95% CI: 1.23–3.50, p = 0.006). Kaplan-Meier survival analysis (Figure 1) further confirmed a markedly reduced survival probability in the high lysozyme group (p &lt; 0.0001), reinforcing its prognostic significance. Conclusion Elevated arterial lysozyme concentration is a powerful and independent predictor of long-term mortality in patients undergoing coronary angiography. The identified threshold of 1.5 effectively stratifies high-risk individuals, demonstrating strong predictive value beyond traditional cardiovascular risk factors. These findings position arterial lysozyme as a promising biomarker for risk assessment in atherosclerosis, warranting further investigation into its mechanistic role and potential integration into clinical decision-making to enhance early intervention and patient outcomes.
背景:动脉粥样硬化性心血管疾病(CVD)仍然是全球死亡的主要原因,需要强有力的生物标志物来改善风险分层和早期干预。血浆溶菌酶对CAD的诊断具有很高的准确性。然而,其在长期死亡率中的预后意义仍未被探索。本研究在一个特征明确的队列中调查了基线动脉溶菌酶浓度与全因死亡率之间的关系,评估了其作为CAD不良结局预测生物标志物的潜力。方法我们对先前建立的399例接受冠状动脉造影的患者进行了长期随访。通过酶联免疫吸附试验(ELISA)测量动脉溶菌酶浓度,并在基线记录临床和人口统计学数据。主要终点是全因死亡率,通过与国家死亡登记和医院记录的联系确定。采用Kaplan-Meier曲线进行生存分析。采用Cox比例风险回归模型评估溶菌酶与死亡率的独立相关性,并对年龄、性别、合并症和传统心血管危险因素等关键混杂因素进行调整。数据驱动的阈值1.5被确定为定义高风险个体的最佳截止值。结果中位随访16年(IQR: 15-20),在单因素分析(HR = 1.06, 95% CI: 1.03-1.08, p < 0.001)和多因素分析(HR = 1.10, 95% CI: 1.04-1.15, p < 0.001)中,动脉溶菌酶浓度升高与死亡风险增加显著相关。使用1.5阈值分层显示CAD风险的高敏感性(86.9%)和特异性(87.3%)。高溶菌酶组患者死亡风险显著增加(单因素HR = 2.42, 95% CI: 1.63-3.60, p < 0.001;多因素HR = 2.07, 95% CI: 1.23-3.50, p = 0.006)。Kaplan-Meier生存分析(图1)进一步证实了高溶菌酶组的生存率显著降低(p < 0.0001),加强了其预后意义。结论动脉溶菌酶浓度升高是冠状动脉造影患者长期死亡率的独立预测指标。所确定的阈值1.5有效地对高危人群进行分层,显示出超越传统心血管危险因素的强大预测价值。这些发现将动脉溶菌酶定位为动脉粥样硬化风险评估的有前景的生物标志物,值得进一步研究其机制作用和潜在的临床决策整合,以提高早期干预和患者预后。

This study investigates the association between baseline arterial lysozyme concentration and all-cause mortality in a well-characterised cohort, evaluating its potential as a predictive biomarker for adverse outcomes in CAD. Methods We performed a long-term follow-up of a previously established cohort of 399 patients who underwent coronary angiography. Arterial lysozyme concentrations were measured via enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), with clinical and demographic data recorded at baseline. The primary endpoint was all-cause mortality, determined through linkage with national death registries and hospital records. Survival analysis was conducted using Kaplan-Meier curves. Cox proportional hazards regression models were employed to assess the independent association of lysozyme with mortality, adjusting for key confounders including age, sex, comorbidities, and traditional cardiovascular risk factors. A data-driven threshold of 1.5 was identified as the optimal cut-off for defining high-risk individuals. Results Over a median follow-up of 16 years (IQR: 15–20), elevated arterial lysozyme concentration was significantly associated with increased mortality risk in both univariate (HR = 1.06, 95% CI: 1.03–1.08, p &amp;lt; 0.001) and multivariate analysis (HR = 1.10, 95% CI: 1.04–1.15, p &amp;lt; 0.001). Stratification using the 1.5 threshold demonstrated high sensitivity (86.9%) and specificity (87.3%) for CAD risk. Patients in the high lysozyme group had a significantly increased mortality hazard (univariate HR = 2.42, 95% CI: 1.63–3.60, p &amp;lt; 0.001; multivariate HR = 2.07, 95% CI: 1.23–3.50, p = 0.006). Kaplan-Meier survival analysis (Figure 1) further confirmed a markedly reduced survival probability in the high lysozyme group (p &amp;lt; 0.0001), reinforcing its prognostic significance. Conclusion Elevated arterial lysozyme concentration is a powerful and independent predictor of long-term mortality in patients undergoing coronary angiography. The identified threshold of 1.5 effectively stratifies high-risk individuals, demonstrating strong predictive value beyond traditional cardiovascular risk factors. These findings position arterial lysozyme as a promising biomarker for risk assessment in atherosclerosis, warranting further investigation into its mechanistic role and potential integration into clinical decision-making to enhance early intervention and patient outcomes.","PeriodicalId":11976,"journal":{"name":"European Heart Journal","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":39.3,"publicationDate":"2026-02-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146210489","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
