BACKGROUND: Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) combined with heart failure (HF) has become a serious disease that threatens human health. Therapeutic interventions targeting OSAS have been shown to improve outcomes in patients with HF, so the identification of severe OSAS in HF is critical. Carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125) is associated with inflammation and volume overload. The levels of CA125 are elevated in the serum of patients with HF and might be further elevated in patients with HF and OSAS...

BACKGROUND: Neonatal cyanosis is a clinical manifestation of hypoxemia and is usually pathological. Persistent right venous valve (PRVV) is a rare cause of cyanosis in newborns and can cause prenatal abnormalities, the clinical significance of which varies depending on the severity of the abnormality. There have been few reports on the intrauterine detection of these abnormalities and their follow-up during infancy. Here, we report a case of PRVV causing supravalvular tricuspid valve (TV) obstruction and secondary right ventricle (RV) hypoplasia...

BACKGROUND: Cardiac amyloidosis (CA) is one of the causes of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) with late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) and extracellular volume (ECV) fractions is a preferred method to identify CA. However, the requirement of contrast limits its use in renal deficiency patients. Myocardial strain is a promising method without contrast. We sought to assess the early diagnostic and prognostic value of strain. METHODS: This retrospective study enrolled 31 patients with systemic amyloidosis (SA) in Peking University First Hospital from January 2014 to January 2019...
