Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) frequently co-occur and this comorbidity represents a separate phenotype of HFpEF. While many research attempts are focused on biomarkers of HFpEF, currently, there is a lack of validated biomarkers of HFpEF and OSA. In this study, we aimed to evaluate prognostic significance of several serum cytokines in patients with HFpEF and OSA. The patients with HFpEF and OSA were recruited from the Sleep Apnea Center of Novosibirsk, Russian Federation and followed up for 12 months. The main analyzed outcomes were five-point major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and the 6-min walk test (6MWT). The analyzed cytokines were circulating IL-6, IL-10, and VEGF measured at baseline. We recruited 77 male patients with HFpEF and OSA, the data of 71 patients were available for analyses. Patients who developed MACE had four-fold elevated concentrations of serum IL-10. There was no association between baseline cytokine levels and longitudinal changes in 6MWT. Circulating IL-10 levels are positively associated with MACE in men with HFpEF and OSA and thus may be a potential prognostic biomarker in this subgroup of patients. These results should be confirmed in larger studies encompassing both males and females.

Purpose Of Review: Treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has historically been centered on outpatients given sleep testing is performed on an outpatient basis. Much of this practice originates from insurers only covering sleep testing on an outpatient basis. Over the last decade, there have been innovations made in the portability of sleep monitors which have allowed sleep testing on inpatients to be facilitated.

Study Objectives: While heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is associated with the presence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), few studies have examined the association between scoring systems used to predict HFpEF risk, such as the HFPEF and HFA-PEFF scores, and OSA prevalence and severity.
Methods: We performed chart review on all patients who underwent both an echocardiogram and sleep study at the University of Pennsylvania between July 1, 2020, and June 30, 2022. There were 277 patients in the final cohort after excluding patients with relevant comorbidities.
Background Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is common in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). However, current evidence is equivocal regarding the potential benefits of treating OSA with positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy in HFpEF. This study assessed the association between adherence to PAP therapy and health care resource use in patients with OSA and HFpEF.

After examining the complex interplay between heart failure (HF) in its various clinical forms, metabolic disorders like nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) syndrome, in this mini-review we described possible favorable effects of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) on HF with preserved (i.e., ≥ 50%) ejection fraction (HFpEF) through enhanced cardiorenal function and visceral-subcutaneous body fat redistribution.
