Sleep duration, baseline cardiovascular risk, inflammation and incident cardiovascular mortality in ambulatory U.S. Adults: National health and nutrition examination survey
Introduction: The interplay between sleep duration and inflammation on the baseline and incident cardiovascular (CV) risk is unknown. We sought to evaluate the association between sleep duration, C-reactive protein (CRP), baseline CV risk, and incident CV mortality.
Methods: We used data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2005-2010 linked with the cause of death data from the National Center for Health Statistics for adults aged ā„18 years. The associations between self-reported sleep duration and CRP, 10-year atherosclerotic CV disease risk score (ASCVD) and CV mortality were assessed using Linear, Poisson and Cox proportional hazard modeling as appropriate.
Results: There were 17,635 eligible participants with a median age of 46 years (interquartile range [IQR] 31, 63). Among them, 51.3% were women and 46.9% were non-Hispanic Whites. Over a median follow-up of 7.5 years (IQR 6.0, 9.1), 350 CV deaths occurred at an incident rate of 2.7 per 1000-person years (IQR 2.4, 3.0). We observed a U-shaped associations between sleep duration and incident CV mortality rate (P-trend=0.011), sleep duration and 10-year ASCVD risk (P-trend \u3c0.001), as well as sleep duration and CRP (P-trend \u3c0.001). A self-reported sleep duration of 6-7 hours appeared most optimal. We observed that those participants who reported \u3c6 or \u3e7 hours of sleep had higher risk of CV death attributable to inflammation after accounting for confounders.
Conclusions: There was a U-shaped relationship of incident CV mortality, 10-year ASCVD risk, and CRP with sleep duration. These findings suggest an interplay between sleep duration, inflammation, and CV risk

Hospitalization Rates, Prevalence of Cardiovascular Manifestations, and Outcomes Associated With Sarcoidosis in the United States
Background: Recent trends of hospitalizations and ināhospital mortality are not well defined in sarcoidosis. We examined aforementioned trends and prevalence of cardiovascular manifestations and explored rates of implantable cardioverterādefibrillator implantation in hospitalizations with sarcoidosis. Methods and Results: Using data from the National Inpatient Sample, a retrospective population cohort from 2005 to 2014 was studied. To identify sarcoidosis, an International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICDā9āCM) diagnosis code was used. We excluded hospitalizations with myocardial infarction, coronary artery disease, and ischemic cardiomyopathy. Cardiovascular manifestations were defined by the presence of diagnosis codes for conduction disorders, arrhythmias, heart failure, nonischemic cardiomyopathy, and pulmonary hypertension. A total of 609 051 sarcoidosis hospitalizations were identified, with an age of 55Ā±14 years, 67% women, and 50% black. The number of sarcoidosis hospitalizations increased from 2005 through 2014 (138 versus 175 per 100 000, P trend<0.001). We observed declining trends of unadjusted ināhospital mortality (6.5 to 4.9 per 100 sarcoidosis hospitalizations, P trend<0.001). Overall ā31% (n=188 438) of sarcoidosis hospitalizations had coexistent cardiovascular manifestations of one or more type. Heart failure (ā16%) and arrhythmias (ā15%) were the most prevalent cardiovascular manifestations. Rates of implantable cardioverterādefibrillator placement were ā7.5 per 1000 sarcoidosis hospitalizations (P trend=0.95) during the study period. Black race was associated with 21% increased risk of ināhospital mortality (odds ratio, 1.21; 95% confidence interval, 1.16ā1.27 [P<0.001]). Conclusions: Sarcoidosis hospitalizations have increased over the past decade with a myriad of coexistent cardiovascular manifestations. Black race is a significant predictor of ināhospital mortality, which is declining. Further efforts are needed to improve care in view of low implantable cardioverterādefibrillator rates in sarcoidosis
Relative Predictive Value of Circulating Immune Markers in US Adults Without Cardiovascular Disease: Implications for Risk Reclassification
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the relative predictive value of circulating immune cell markers for cardiovascular mortality in ambulatory adults without cardiovascular disease.
METHODS: We analyzed data of participants enrolled in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from January 1, 1999, to December 31, 2010, with the total leukocyte count within a normal range (4000-11,000 cells/Ī¼L [to convert to cells Ć10
RESULTS: Among 21,599 participants eligible for this analysis, the median age was 47 years (interquartile range, 34-63 years); 10,651 (49.2%) participants were women, and 10,713 (49.5%) were self-reported non-Hispanic white. During a median follow-up of 9.6 years (interquartile range, 6.8-13.1 years), there were 627 cardiovascular deaths. MLR had the best predictive value for cardiovascular mortality. The addition of elevated MLR (ā„0.3) to the 10-year ASCVD risk score improved the classification by 2.7%Ā±1.4% (P=.04). Elevated MLR had better predictive value than C-reactive protein and several components of the 10-year ASCVD risk score.
CONCLUSION: Among ambulatory US adults without preexisting cardiovascular disease, we found that MLR had the best predictive value for cardiovascular mortality among circulating immune markers. The addition of MLR to the 10-year risk score significantly improved the risk classification of participants

NON-INVASIVE ASSESSMENT OF MYOCARDIAL ENERGETICS USING 11-C ACETATE POSITRON EMISSION TOMOGRAPHY: SYSTEMATIC REVIEW AND META-ANALYSIS
Background: 11-C acetate PET is a non-invasive imaging modality to assess myocardial oxygen consumption (MVO2), and external efficiency (MEE). We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of available literature on this topic.
Methods: We searched electronic databases from inception to September 15, 2021, for all studies using 11C-Acetate PET in humans and patients with CVD at rest. Data are presented as mean with 95% CI.
Results: 54 studies with 1,182 participants (337 healthy, 845 patients with any CVD) met our inclusion criteria. Mean MVO2 and MEE in studies with healthy controls was 0.11 (0.09, 0.13, I2=99.3%) ml min-1g-1 and 27% (22, 33 I2=98.3%), respectively (Figure). Mean MEE in HFrEF, HFpEF, AS and HCM was 15% (13, 18), 13% (12, 14), 23% (20, 25) and 19% (CI 17, 22), respectively. In HFrEF, both mean MVO2 (difference -0.02,-0.03, -0.01) and MEE (difference -9%, [-13, -6]) were lower vs. healthy controls. In HFpEF, mean MVO2 was higher (difference 0.03, -0.01, 0.07), but mean MEE was similar. In aortic stenosis, mean MVO2 was higher (difference 0.03, [0.01, 0.05]) and mean MEE lower (difference -7%, [-16, 1]) vs. healthy controls. In HCM, mean MVO2 was higher (WMD 0.01, [0.00, 0.02]), and mean MEE was lower (difference -21%, [-33, -8]).
Conclusion: Assessment of myocardial energetics using 11-C acetate PET can help understand the pathophysiology of distinct CVD. There is significant heterogeneity in the current literature, and there is an unmet need to standardize protocols and reporting methods
