Central sleep apnea and Cheyne Stokes respiration predict incident atrial fibrillation in older men.
A meta-analysis revealed a possible link between higher resting heart rates and premature mortality.
Although surgery remains the gold standard in mitral valve repair, percutaneous repair is a new option in the treatment armamentarium, particularly in high-risk settings.
