Article Synopsis
- Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is prevalent in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD), affecting 40-80% of those with cardiovascular issues, and this study specifically examines its occurrence and severity in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients.
- The systematic review included eight studies that analyzed the sleep patterns of ACS patients post-treatment, focusing on those who underwent procedures like coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
- Results indicated that patients with OSA had significantly higher apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) scores compared to those without OSA, particularly in those who underwent PCI, highlighting the need for OSA screening and management after acute coronary treatments.
Hypertension and hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) cause a significant burden of disease on societies and individuals by increasing cardiovascular disease risk. Environmental risk factors alone do not explain the observed sexual dimorphism in lifetime blood pressure (BP) trajectories nor inter-individual variation in HDP risk. In this short review, we focus on the genetics of hypertension-related sex differences and HDP and discuss the importance of genetics utilization for sex-specific hypertension risk prediction.

Data come from 10 cardiac surgery centres in Finland, Norway and Sweden participating in the European Nordic aprotinin patient registry (NAPaR). 486 patients were given aprotinin between 2016 and 2020.
