Article Synopsis
- This review examines how pediatric obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), often linked to enlarged tonsils and adenoids, affects children's cardiovascular health, particularly the risk of pulmonary hypertension.
- After analyzing 230 articles, the study included data from 20 articles involving over 2400 children, using various tools to ensure the reliability of the findings.
- The research found that OSA and adenotonsillar hypertrophy significantly increase the risk of cardiovascular issues, and surgeries like adenoidectomy and tonsillectomy may help reduce pulmonary artery pressure, but the effectiveness varies among individuals and highlights the need for more targeted clinical studies.

Background White blood cell count, which is inexpensive and widely available in clinical practice, has been proposed to provide prognostic information in coronary artery disease (CAD). Elevated levels of white blood cell subtypes may play different roles in atherothrombosis and predict cardiovascular outcomes. Methods and Results The association between white blood cell counts and mortality was evaluated in 823 subjects with angiographically demonstrated and clinically stable CAD in an observational-longitudinal study.
