Sleep Apnea and Arrhythmias: Those Who Cannot Change Their Minds Cannot Change Anything

Announcing a new article publication for Cardiovascular Innovations and Applications journal.   Sleep apnea, a highly prevalent disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of airflow limitation and intermittent hypoxia, has emerged as a significant modifier of cardiovascular risk, particularly in patients with cardiac arrhythmias. Affecting more than half of individuals with atrial fibrillation (AF), sleep apnea contributes to arrhythmogenesis through mechanisms including chronic sympathetic activation, repetitive intrathoracic pressure shifts, hypoxia-driven myocardial remodeling, and autonomic imbalance.

Identification of Arrhythmia-Associated Gene Mutations in Chinese Patients with Primary Electrical Disorders or Sudden Cardiac Death

Identification-of-Arrhythmia-Associated-Gene-MutationAnnouncing a new article publication for Cardiovascular Innovations and Applications journal. Sudden cardiac death (SCD), unexpected death based on sudden cardiac ejection cessation, accounts for 15–20% of unnatural deaths in developed countries. Primary electrical disorders (PEDs), a group of cardiac rhythm abnormalities without detectable structural heart disease, are a major cause of SCD in people younger than 35 years of age. (more…)
