Abstract

Objectives

To assess the validity of a handheld clinical decision-support system (CDSS) in detecting obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in veterans with ischemic heart disease against polysomnography (PSG) and to compare the diagnostic accuracy of the CDSS versus the Berlin questionnaire.

Methods

We enrolled prospectively 143 patients with underlying ischemic heart disease. Veterans with history of neurologic disease, systolic congestive heart failure, or receiving opiates were excluded from participation. Participants were asked to complete the Berlin Questionnaire and to answer all eight questions of CDSS-software. At the end of the interview, veterans were scheduled for an in-laboratory polysomnogram.

Results

Ninety one patients completed the study. The prevalence of OSA (AHI ≥5/h) was 74.7 % with a median AHI of 11.5/h (range 0–90). When compared to PSG, the CDSS and the Berlin questionnaire achieved a sensitivity of 98.5 % [95 % confidence interval (CI) 92.1–100] and 80.9 % (95 % CI 69.5–89.4) and a specificity of 86.9 % (95 % CI 66.4–97.2) and 39.1 % (95 % CI 19.7–61.5) at a threshold value of AHI ≥5 with a corresponding area under the curve of 0.93 (95 % CI 0.85–0.97) and 0.60 (95 % CI 0.49–0.70); respectively.

Conclusions

CDSS is a superior screening tool for identifying cardiac veterans with undiagnosed OSA than the BQ.

Das Risiko für Vorhofflimmern in der Bevölkerung steigt

02.05.2024 Vorhofflimmern Nachrichten

Das Risiko, im Lauf des Lebens an Vorhofflimmern zu erkranken, ist in den vergangenen 20 Jahren gestiegen: Laut dänischen Zahlen wird es drei von zehn Personen treffen. Das hat Folgen weit über die Schlaganfallgefährdung hinaus.

VHF-Ablation nützt wohl nur bei reduzierter Auswurfleistung

02.05.2024 Ablationstherapie Nachrichten

Ob die Katheterablation von Vorhofflimmern bei Patienten mit Herzinsuffizienz die Komplikationsraten senkt, scheint davon abzuhängen, ob die Auswurfleistung erhalten ist oder nicht. Das legen die Ergebnisse einer Metaanalyse nahe.

Weniger Extremitätenischämien mit dualer Plättchenhemmung

02.05.2024 Thrombozytenaggregationshemmer Nachrichten

Eine Behandlung mit Ticagrelor zusätzlich zu ASS kann das Risiko für Revaskularisierungen und Amputationen von Extremitäten bei Diabetikern mit stabiler KHK deutlich reduzieren, vor allem für solche mit PAVK. Dafür spricht eine Auswertung der Interventionsstudie THEMIS.

Beutel versus Maschine: Beste Beatmungstechnik bei Herzstillstand gesucht

02.05.2024 Kardiopulmonale Reanimation Nachrichten

Stehen die Chancen auf eine Rückkehr der Spontanzirkulation nach Herz-Kreislauf-Stillstand bei manueller oder maschineller Beatmung besser? Und unterscheidet sich das neurologische Outcome nach der Reanimation? Das belgische Herzstillstand-Register liefert die Daten für einen direkten Vergleich zwischen Beutel und Beatmungsgerät.
