AbstractObstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is much common and associated with worse clinical outcomes in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), however, the diagnosis of OSA in HCM is still insufficient. We aim to investigate the clinical predictors of OSA in a large series of patients with HCM. A total of 589 patients with HCM who underwent sleep evaluations were retrospectively enrolled. Data from clinical characteristics and polysomnography studies were recorded. OSA was present in 346 patients (58.7%). Patients who had OSA were older, more likely to be male and had more clinical comorbidities such as hypertension, atrial fibrillation and cardiac remodeling. Multivariate logistic analyses showed that male, age, body mass index, hypertension and left ventricular outflow tract obstruction were significant factors associated with OSA. The area under the ROC curve (AUC) was 0.78 (95% CI 0.74–0.82; P < 0.001). These factors were also able to identify moderate to severe OSA with an AUC of 0.77 (95% CI 0.73–0.81; P < 0.001). These findings suggest that identifying HCM patients with high risk for OSA is feasible using characteristics from clinical practices and clinicians should have no hesitate to conduct sleep test in these patients.

Abstract Introduction There is a substantial need for an accurate and easy-to-use tool for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) assessment. Belun Ring Platform (BRP), a novel photoplethysmography (PPG)-based home sleep apnea testing system with a proprietary deep learning algorithm, has been shown to have good sensitivity and specificity in predicting OSA in subjects without significant comorbidities and medications known to affect heart rate (HR). In this study, we further tested its performance in subjects referred for in-lab polysomnography (PSG) assessment of sleep disorders without excluding those with non-arrhythmia comorbidities or the subjects on HR-affecting medications. Methods PSG was recorded simultaneously with the Ring in the sleep lab and the studies were manually scored by certified sleep technicians according to the AASM Scoring manual version 2.4. Exclusion criteria include age &lt;18, unstable cardiopulmonary status, recent hospitalization within 30 days, significant arrhythmias, baseline HR &lt;50 or &gt;100, home oxygen use, pacemaker/defibrillator, post-cardiac transplantation or Left ventricular assist device. Results A cohort of 78 individuals (26 males and 52 females, age 50.5) were studied with 26 taking HR-affecting medications. Of these, 35 (45%) had AHI &lt; 5; 14 (18%) had AHI 5-15; 15 (19%) had AHI 15-30; 14 (18%) had AHI &gt; 30. The Ring-REI correlated well with the PSG-AHI (r =0.83, P &lt;0.001). The accuracy, sensitivity, specificity in categorizing AHI &gt;15 were 0.808, 0.931, and 0.735 respectively. The positive predictive value, negative predictive value, positive likelihood ratio, and negative likelihood ratio were 0.675, 0.947, 3.509, and 0.094 respectively. The use of HR-affecting medications did not significantly affect the sensitivity and specificity of BRP in predicting OSA (P =0.16 and 0.44 respectively). Conclusion BRP is promising as a reasonable tool for OSA assessment and can potentially be incorporated into a broad spectrum of clinical practices for identification of patients with OSA.

AbstractAneurysmal surgeries are high-risk procedures due to potential for occurrence of fatal perioperative complications. This risk is exaggerated in the presence of co-existing hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). It involves asymmetrical hypertrophy of left ventricle with mitral valve dysfunction, leading to left ventricular outflow tract obstruction. Various perioperative factors may precipitate this obstruction resulting in life-threatening consequences. We report the management of a patient with HCM undergoing anterior communicating artery aneurysm clipping and discuss the anesthetic concerns. Comprehensive approach with careful drug selection, vigilant monitoring, and preparedness for complications enabled patient safety and a good neurological outcome.

Abstract Background Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is closely related to the incidence and progression of coronary artery disease (CAD), but the mechanisms linking OSA and CAD are unclear. C1q/TNF-related protein-9 (CTRP9) is a novel adipokine that protects the heart against ischemic injury and ameliorates cardiac remodeling. Purpose We aimed to ascertain the clinical relevance of CTRP9 with OSA prevalence in patients with CAD. Methods From August 2016 to March 2019, consecutive eligible patients with CAD (n=154; angina pectoris, n=88; acute myocardial infarction [AMI], n=66) underwent cardiorespiratory polygraphy during hospitalization. OSA was defined as an apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) ≥15 events h–1. Plasma CTRP9 concentrations were measured by ELISA method. Results OSA was present in 89 patients (57.8%). CTRP9 levels were significantly decreased in the OSA group than in the non-OSA group (4.7 [4.1–5.2] ng/mL vs. 4.9 [4.4–6.0] ng/mL, P=0.003). The difference between groups was only observed in patients with AMI (3.0 [2.3–4.9] vs. 4.5 [3.2–7.9], P=0.009), but not in patients with AP (5.0 [4.7–5.3] ng/mL vs. 5.1 [4.7–5.9] ng/mL, P=0.571) (Figure 1). Correlation analysis showed that CTRP9 levels were negatively correlated with AHI (r=−0.238, P=0.003) and oxygen desaturation index (r=−0.234, P=0.004), and positively correlated with left ventricular ejection fraction (r=0.251, P=0.004) in all subjects. Multivariate analysis showed that male gender (OR 3.099, 95% CI 1.029–9.330, P=0.044), body mass index (OR 1.148, 95% CI 1.040–1.268, P=0.006), and CTRP9 levels (OR 0.726, 95% CI 0.592–0.890, P=0.002) were independently associated with the prevalence of OSA. Conclusions Plasma CTRP9 levels were independently related to the prevalence of OSA in patients with CAD, suggesting that CTRP9 might play a role in the pathogenesis of CAD exacerbated by OSA.

We report the case of a 39-year-old male with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy who complained of angina pectoris. The patient was treated with a beta blocker and a calcium antagonist without effect. Myocardial scintigraphy revealed anterior ischemia. Cardiac catheterization and ventriculography revealed severe systolic narrowing of the left anterior descending coronary artery and no significant pressure gradient across the left ventricular outflow tract. Myotomy was performed on a muscular bridge over the left anterior descending coronary artery and the patient's angina was relieved. In young patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy who develop angina refractory to medical therapy, a coexisting muscular bridge should be sought.
