Is statin therapy associated with improved outcomes in vascular surgery patients with renal impairment?
The level of kidney function is an independent predictor of short- and long-term outcome after major noncardiac surgery. In addition, perioperative statin use in patients with kidney disease is associated with a reduction in the short- and long-term all-cause, cardiac, and cerebrocardiovascular mortality.
SDB increases HRV in the setting of increased sympathetic dominance. HRV in CSA and OSA have unique HRV patterns which are likely to reflect the different pathophysiological mechanisms involved.
