Effects of oral appliance treatment on inflammatory biomarkers in obstructive sleep apnea: A randomised controlled trial
Abstract Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) may lead to increased circulating concentrations of inflammatory biomarkers and treatment may change these. We aimed to assess the effect of oral appliance (OA) therapy on inflammatory biomarkers in a randomised controlled pilot trial. A total of 71 patients with OSA and systemic hypertension were randomly allocated to an active, mandible protruded (OAa) or a passive, mandible non‐protruded device (OAp) treatment.

Incremental prognostic value of coronary and systemic atherosclerosis after myocardial infarction
Of the 1008 patients included in the VaMIS study, a coronary angiogram was available for 544. A flow chart for the inclusion in this analysis is presented in Fig. 1Fig. 1. The mean age was 68.5 years (SD 10.7) and 31.7% were female. Echocardiography was performed in 526 (97%). In 416 patients, LVEF was assessed according to the Simpson formula, while it was visually estimated in 110 patients. The ICC for inter-observer agreement in SES calculations was 0.89 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.77–0.95).

Long-term prognostic impact of left atrial volumes and emptying fraction in a community-based cohort
Objective We hypothesised that left atrial emptying fraction (LAEF) would predict long-term cardiovascular outcome in the general population and better so than left atrial (LA) volumes. Methods A community-based sample (n=740) in sinus rhythm prospectively underwent clinical evaluation, echocardiography and blood analyses including N-terminal pro B-type natriuretic peptide (NTproBNP).
