M.; MACEDO, Thiago A.; FURLAN, Sofia F.; FREITAS, Lunara S.; BORTOLOTTO, Luiz A.; LORENZI-FILHO, Geraldo; DRAGER, Luciano F.- Effects of continuous positive airway pressure on depression and anxiety symptoms in patients with obstructive sleep apnoea: results from the sleep apnoea cardiovascular Endpoint randomised trial and meta-analysis(2019) ZHENG, Danni; XU, Ying; YOU, Shoujiang; HACKETT, Maree L.; WOODMAN, Richard J.; LI, Qiang; WOODWARD, Mark; LOFFLER, Kelly A.; RODGERS, Anthony; DRAGER, Luciano F.; LORENZI-FILHO, Geraldo; WANG, Xia; QUAN, Wei Wei; TRIPATHI, Manjari; MEDIANO, Olga; OU, Qiong; CHEN, Rui; LIU, Zhihong; ZHANG, Xilong; LUO, Yuanming; MCARDLE, Nigel; MUKHERJEE, Sutapa; MCEVOY, R. Douglas; ANDERSON, Craig S.Background: Whether continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment can improve depression or anxiety symptoms in obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) patients remains uncertain. Methods: Secondary analysis of the Sleep Apnea Cardiovascular Endpoints (SAVE) trial, combined with a systematic review of randomised evidence. The SAVE secondary analyses involved 2410 patients with co-existing moderate-severe OSA and established cardiovascular disease randomly allocated to CPAP treatment plus usual care or usual care alone and followed up for 3.7 (SD 1.6) years. We evaluated the effect of CPAP treatment on depression and anxiety caseness (scores >= 8 on the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale depression and anxiety subscales [HADS-D and HADS-A]) for OSA patients. Findings: CPAP treatment was associated with reduced odds of depression caseness (adjusted odds ratio [OR] 0.80, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.65-0.98, P=0.031) compared to usual care in the SAVE trial and the treatment effect was greater in those with pre-existing depression symptoms. A systematic review of 20 randomised trials including 4255 participants confirmed a benefit of CPAP in reducing depression symptoms in OSA patients: the overall effect (standardised mean difference) was -0.18 (95% CI -0.24 to -0.12). No effect of CPAP treatment on anxiety caseness was found both in patients of the SAVE study (adjusted OR 0.98, 95% CI 0.78-1.24, P = 0.89) and the systematic review. Interpretation: CPAP reduces depression symptoms in patients with co-existing OSA and CVD independently of improvements in sleepiness. (C) 2019 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
- Obstructive Sleep Apnea A Cardiometabolic Risk in Obesity and the Metabolic Syndrome(2013) DRAGER, Luciano F.; TOGEIRO, Sonia M.; POLOTSKY, Vsevolod Y.; LORENZI-FILHO, GeraldoObstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is an underdiagnosed condition characterized by recurrent episodes of obstruction of the upper airway leading to sleep fragmentation and intermittent hypoxia during sleep. Obesity predisposes to OSA, and the prevalence of OSA is increasing worldwide because of the ongoing epidemic of obesity. Recent evidence has shown that surrogate markers of cardiovascular risk, including sympathetic activation, systemic inflammation, and endothelial dysfunction, are significantly increased in obese patients with OSA versus those without OSA, suggesting that OSA is not simply an epiphenomenon of obesity. Moreover, findings from animal models and patients with OSA show that intermittent hypoxia exacerbates the metabolic dysfunction of obesity, augmenting insulin resistance and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. In patients with the metabolic syndrome, the prevalence of moderate to severe OSA is very high (similar to 60%). In this population, OSA is independently associated with increased glucose and triglyceride levels as well as markers of inflammation, arterial stiffness, and atherosclerosis. A recent randomized, controlled, crossover study showed that effective treatment of OSA with continuous positive airway pressure for 3 months significantly reduced several components of the metabolic syndrome, including blood pressure, triglyceride levels, and visceral fat. Finally, several cohort studies have consistently shown that OSA is associated with increased cardiovascular mortality, independent of obesity. Taken together, these results support the concept that OSA exacerbates the cardiometabolic risk attributed to obesity and the metabolic syndrome. Recognition and treatment of OSA may decrease the cardiovascular risk in obese patients. (C) 2013 by the American College of Cardiology Foundation
conferenceObject GENDER-RELATED DIFFERENCES IN CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE IN PATIENTS WITH RESISTANT HYPERTENSION(2022) SOLIMENE, Maria Cecilia; DRAGER, Luciano; BORTOLOTTO, Luiz- Lack of Circadian Variation of Pulse Wave Velocity Measurements in Healthy Volunteers(2011) DRAGER, Luciano F.; DIEGUES-SILVA, Luzia; DINIZ, Patricia M.; LORENZI-FILHO, Geraldo; KRIEGER, Eduardo M.; BORTOLOTTO, Luiz A.Arterial stiffness is an independent marker of cardiovascular events. Pulse wave velocity (PWV) is a validated method to detect arterial stiffness that can be influenced by several factors including age and blood pressure. However, it is not clear whether PWV could be influenced by circadian variations. In the present study, the authors measured blood pressure and carotid-femoral PWV measurements in 15 young healthy volunteers in 4 distinct periods: 8 am, noon, 4 pm, and 8 pm. No significant variations of systolic (P=.92), mean (P=.77), and diastolic (P=.66) blood pressure among 8 am (113 +/- 15, 84 +/- 8, 69 +/- 6 mm Hg), noon (114 +/- 13, 83 +/- 8, 68 +/- 6 mm Hg), 4 pm (114 +/- 13, 85 +/- 8, 70 +/- 7 mm Hg), and 8 pm (113 +/- 7, 83 +/- 10, 68 +/- 7 mm Hg), respectively, were observed. Similarly, carotid-femoral PWV did not change among the periods (8 am: 7.6 +/- 1.4 m/s, noon: 7.4 +/- 1.1 m/s, 4 pm: 7.6 +/- 1.0 m/s, 8 pm, 7.6 +/- 1.3 m/s; P=.85). Considering all measurements, mean blood pressure significantly correlated with PWV (r=.31; P=.016). In young healthy volunteers, there is no significant circadian variation of carotid-femoral PWV. These findings support the concept that it does not appear mandatory to perform PWV measurements at exactly the same period of the day. J Clin Hypertens (Greenwich). 2011;13:19-22.

- KCNJ5 Somatic Mutation Is a Predictor of Hypertension Remission After Adrenalectomy for Unilateral Primary Aldosteronism(2019) VILELA, Leticia A. P.; RASSI-CRUZ, Marcela; GUIMARAES, Augusto G.; MOISES, Caio C. S.; FREITAS, Thais C.; ALENCAR, Natalia P.; PETENUCI, Janaina; GOLDBAUM, Tatiana S.; MACIEL, Ana Alice W.; PEREIRA, Maria Adelaide A.; V, Giovanio Silva; PIO-ABREU, Andrea; ZERBINI, Maria Claudia N.; CAVALCANTE, Aline C. B. S.; CARNEVALE, Francisco C.; PILAN, Bruna; YAMAUCHI, Fernando; SROUGI, Vitor; TANNO, Fabio Y.; CHAMBO, Jose L.; LATRONICO, Ana Claudia; MENDONCA, Berenice B.; V, Maria Candida B. Fragoso; BORTOLOTTO, Luiz A.; DRAGER, Luciano F.; ALMEIDA, Madson Q.Context: Primary aldosteronism (PA) is the most common cause of endocrine hypertension (HT). HT remission (defined as blood pressure <140/90 mm Hg without antihypertensive drugs) has been reported in approximately 50% of patients with unilateral PA after adrenalectomy. HT duration and severity are predictors of blood pressure response, but the prognostic role of somatic KCNJ5 mutations is unclear. Objective: To determine clinical and molecular features associated with HT remission after adrenalectomy in patients with unilateral PA. Methods: We retrospectively evaluated 100 patients with PA (60 women; median age at diagnosis 48 years with a median follow-up of 26 months). Anatomopathological analysis revealed 90 aldosterone-producing adenomas, 1 carcinoma, and 9 unilateral adrenal hyperplasias. All patients had biochemical cure after unilateral adrenalectomy. KCNJ5 gene was sequenced in 76 cases. Results: KCNJ5 mutations were identified in 33 of 76 (43.4%) tumors: p.Gly151Arg (n = 17), p.Leu168Arg (n = 15), and p.GIu145GIn (n = 1). HT remission was reported in 37 of 100 (37%) patients. Among patients with HT remission, 73% were women (P = 0.04), 48.6% used more than three antihypertensive medications (P= 0.0001), and 64.9% had HT duration <10 years (P= 0.0015) compared with those without HT remission. Somatic KCNJ5 mutations were associated with female sex (P = 0.004), larger nodules (P = 0.001), and HT remission (P = 0.0001). In multivariate analysis, only a somatic KCNJ5 mutation was an independent predictor of HT remission after adrenalectomy (P = 0.004). Conclusion: The presence of a KCNJ5 somatic mutation is an independent predictor of HT remission after unilateral adrenalectomy in patients with unilateral PA.
- Intermittent hypoxia inhibits clearance of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins and inactivates adipose lipoprotein lipase in a mouse model of sleep apnoea(2012) DRAGER, Luciano F.; LI, Jianguo; SHIN, Mi-Kyung; REINKE, Christian; AGGARWAL, Neil R.; JUN, Jonathan C.; BEVANS-FONTI, Shannon; SZTALRYD, Carole; OBYRNE, Sheila M.; KROUPA, Olessia; OLIVECRONA, Gunilla; BLANER, William S.; POLOTSKY, Vsevolod Y.Delayed lipoprotein clearance is associated with atherosclerosis. This study examined whether chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH), a hallmark of obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA), can lead to hyperlipidaemia by inhibiting clearance of triglyceride rich lipoproteins (TRLP). Male C57BL/6J mice on high-cholesterol diet were exposed to 4 weeks of CIH or chronic intermittent air (control). FIO2 was decreased to 6.5 once per minute during the 12 h light phase in the CIH group. After the exposure, we measured fasting lipid profile. TRLP clearance was assessed by oral gavage of retinyl palmitate followed by serum retinyl esters (REs) measurements at 0, 1, 2, 4, 10, and 24 h. Activity of lipoprotein lipase (LpL), a key enzyme of lipoprotein clearance, and levels of angiopoietin-like protein 4 (Angptl4), a potent inhibitor of the LpL activity, were determined in the epididymal fat pads, skeletal muscles, and heart. Chronic intermittent hypoxia induced significant increases in levels of total cholesterol and triglycerides, which occurred in TRLP and LDL fractions (P 0.05 for each comparison). Compared with control mice, animals exposed to CIH showed increases in REs throughout first 10 h after oral gavage of retinyl palmitate (P 0.05), indicating that CIH inhibited TRLP clearance. CIH induced a 5-fold decrease in LpL activity (P 0.01) and an 80 increase in Angptl4 mRNA and protein levels in the epididymal fat, but not in the skeletal muscle or heart. CIH decreases TRLP clearance and inhibits LpL activity in adipose tissue, which may contribute to atherogenesis observed in OSA.
