- * Results showed a high prevalence of CPR-related injuries (81%), with 14% of patients presenting critical injuries, and those with CPR injuries were generally older but had comparable survival rates to those without injuries.
- * The study found that mechanical CPR systems were linked to more frequent sternal fractures, though they did not significantly improve survival outcomes, indicating the need for further exploration of CT's diagnostic utility in post-resuscitation care
Introduction: Sleep apnea is highly prevalent in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is the most common type, and best studied in the context of AF. However, recent investigations have indicated that central sleep apnea (CSA) may be a risk factor for incident AF.

Background Hospitalization with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) events in patients uninfected with HIV. We evaluated whether people living with HIV (PLWH) have a higher risk of CVD or mortality than individuals uninfected with HIV following hospitalization with CAP. Methods and Results We analyzed data from the Veterans Aging Cohort Study on US veterans admitted with their first episode of CAP from April 2003 through December 2014.
