Systemic Inflammation and Myocardial Repolarization Heterogeneity in Heart Failure and Obstructive Sleep Apnea: Impact on Arrhythmic Risk
Journal: Medicina
Year: 2025

<i>Background and Objectives</i>: Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) and heart failure (HF) frequently coexist, amplifying cardiovascular risk through mechanisms involving chronic inflammation and autonomic dysfunction. This study investigates the impact of systemic inflammation, measured by the systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), and OSAS severity, assessed by the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), on myocardial repolarization heterogeneity in patients with both conditions. <i>Materials and
