- Obstructive sleep apnea and hypertension-mediated organ damage in nonresistant and resistant hypertension(2023) CABRINI, Mayara L.; MACEDO, Thiago A.; CASTRO, Emerson; BARROS, Silvana de; AZAM, Indira; PIO-ABREU, Andrea; SILVA, Giovanio V.; LORENZI-FILHO, Geraldo; BORTOLOTTO, Luiz A.; DRAGER, Luciano F.The potential role of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in hypertension-mediated organ damage (HMOD) may be influenced by the presence of resistant hypertension (RH). Herein, we enrolled patients with hypertension from a tertiary center for clinical evaluation and performed a sleep study to identify OSA (apnea-hypopnea index >= 15 events/h) and a blinded analysis of four standard HMOD parameters (left ventricular hypertrophy [LVH], increased arterial stiffness [>= 10 m/s], presence of retinopathy, and nephropathy). RH was diagnosed based on uncontrolled blood pressure (BP) (>= 140/90 mmHg) despite concurrent use of at least three antihypertensive drug classes or controlled BP with concurrent use of >= 4 antihypertensive drug classes at optimal doses. To avoid the white-coat effect, ambulatory BP monitoring was performed to confirm RH diagnosis. One-hundred patients were included in the analysis (mean age: 54 +/- 8 years, 65% females, body mass index: 30.4 +/- 4.5 kg/m(2)). OSA was detected in 52% of patients. Among patients with non-RH (n = 53), the presence of OSA (52.8%) was not associated with an increased frequency of HMOD. Conversely, among patients with RH, OSA (51.1%) was associated with a higher incidence of LVH (RH-OSA,61%; RH + OSA,87%; p = 0.049). Logistic regression analysis using the total sample revealed that RH (OR:7.89; 95% CI:2.18-28.52; p = 0.002), systolic BP (OR:1.04; 95% CI:1.00-1.07; p = 0.042) and OSA (OR:4.31; 95% CI:1.14-16.34; p = 0.032) were independently associated with LVH. No significant association was observed between OSA and arterial stiffness, retinopathy, or nephropathy. In conclusion, OSA is independently associated with LVH in RH, suggesting a potential role of OSA in RH prognosis.
- Diastolic and systolic left ventricular dysfunction and mortality in chronic kidney disease patients on haemodialysis(2022) LIMA, Jose J. G. De; MACEDO, Thiago A.; GOWDAK, Luis Henrique W.; DAVID-NETO, Elias; BORTOLOTTO, Luiz A.Aims Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) and LV systolic dysfunction (LVSD) are prevalent in CKD, but their prognostic relevance is debatable. We intent to verify whether LVDD and LVSD are independently predictive of all-cause mortality and if they have comparable or different effects on outcomes. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted of the echocardiographic data of 1285 haemodialysis patients followed up until death or transplantation. LVDD was classified into 4 grades of severity. Endpoint was all-cause mortality. Results During a follow-up of 30 months, 419/1285 (33%) patients died, 224 (53%) due to CV events. LVDD occurred in 75% of patients, grade 1 DD was the prevalent diastolic abnormality, and pseudonormal pattern was the predominant form of moderate-severe DD. Moderate-severe LVDD (HR 1.379, CI% 1.074-1.770) and LVSD (HR 1.814, CI% 1.265-2.576) independently predicted death; a graded, progressive association was found between LVDD categories and the risk of death; and the impact of isolated severe-moderate LVDD on the risk of death was comparable to that exercised by isolated compromised LV systolic function. Conclusion Moderate-severe LVDD and LVSD were independently associated with a higher probability of death and had a similar impact on survival. A progressive association was observed between LVDD grades and mortality.
- OSA and Prognosis After Acute Cardiogenic Pulmonary Edema The OSA-CARE Study(2017) UCHOA, Carlos Henrique G.; PEDROSA, Rodrigo P.; JAVAHERI, Shahrokh; GEOVANINI, Glaucylara R.; CARVALHO, Martinha M. B.; TORQUATRO, Ana Claudia S.; LEITE, Ana Paula D. L.; GONZAGA, Carolina C.; BERTOLAMI, Adriana; AMODEO, Celso; PETISCO, Ana Claudia G. P.; BARBOSA, Jose Eduardo M.; MACEDO, Thiago A.; BORTOLOTTO, Luiz A.; OLIVEIRA JR., Mucio Tavares; LORENZI-FILHO, Geraldo; DRAGER, Luciano F.BACKGROUND: Acute cardiogenic pulmonary edema (ACPE) is a life-threatening condition. OSA may be a modifiable risk factor for ACPE recurrence. This study was designed to evaluate the impact of OSA on the incidence of cardiovascular events following ACPE recovery. METHODS: Consecutive patients with confirmed ACPE from 3 centers underwent a sleep study following clinical stabilization. OSA was defined as an apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) >= 15 events/h. The mean follow-up was 1 year, and the primary outcome was ACPE recurrence. RESULTS: A total of 104 patients were included in the final analysis; 61% of the patients had OSA. A higher rate of ACPE recurrence (25 vs 6 episodes; P = .01) and a higher incidence of myocardial infarction (15 vs 0 episodes; P = .0004) were observed in patients with OSA than in those without OSA. All 17 deaths occurred in the OSA group (P = .0001). In a Cox proportional hazards regression analysis, OSA was independently associated with ACPE recurrence (hazard ratio [HR], 3.3 [95% CI, 1.2-8.8]; P = .01), incidence of myocardial infarction (HR, 2.3 [95% CI, 1.1-9.5]; P = .02), cardiovascular death (HR, 5.4 [95% CI, 1.4-48.4]; P = .004), and total death (HR, 6.5 [95% CI, 1.2-64.0]; P = .005). When the analysis was limited only to patients with OSA, levels of AHI and hypoxemic burden and rates of sleep-onset ACPE were significantly higher in those who presented with ACPE recurrence or who died than in those who did not experience these events. CONCLUSIONS: OSA is independently associated with higher rates of ACPE recurrence and both fatal and nonfatal cardiovascular events.
- Effect of continuous positive airway pressure on atrial remodeling and diastolic dysfunction of patients with obstructive sleep apnea and metabolic syndrome: a randomized study(2023) MACEDO, Thiago Andrade; GIAMPA, Sara Q. C.; FURLAN, Sofia F.; FREITAS, Lunara S.; LEBKUCHEN, Adriana; CARDOZO, Karina H. M.; CARVALHO, Valdemir M.; MARTINS, Franco C.; MENDONCA, Tiago; BORTOLOTTO, Luiz A.; LORENZI-FILHO, Geraldo; DRAGER, Luciano F.Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) treatment on heart remodeling and diastolic dysfunction in patients with metabolic syndrome (MS).Methods: This study is a prespecified analysis of a randomized placebo-controlled trial that enrolled patients with a recent diagnosis of MS and moderate-to-severe OSA to undergo continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) or nasal dilators (placebo) for 6 months. Patients were invited to perform a transthoracic echocardiogram by a single investigator blinded to treatment assignment.Results: A total of 99 (79% men; mean [SD], age: 48 [9] years; BMI: 33 [4] kg/m(2)) completed the study. At follow-up, in the placebo group, patients had a significant increase in atrial diameter: from 39.5 (37.0-43.0) mm to 40.5 (39.0-44.8) mm (p = 0.003). CPAP prevented atrial enlargement: from 40.0 (38.0-44.0) to 40.0 (39.0-45.0) mm (p = 0.194). In patients with diastolic dysfunction at baseline, almost half had diastolic dysfunction reversibility with CPAP (in comparison with only two patients in the placebo group, p = 0.039). In the regression analysis, the chance of diastolic dysfunction reversibility by CPAP was 6.8-fold (95% CI: 1.48-50.26, p = 0.025) compared with placebo.Conclusions: In patients with MS and OSA, 6 months of CPAP therapy prevented atrial remodeling and increased the chance of diastolic dysfunction reversibility.
