Is a cellular microRNA , let-7i , a novel biomarker for clinical outcome in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy?
A decrease in let-7i may be related to poor clinical outcomes in patients with DCM.
In patients with severe OSAS, pulmonary hypertension is rare (16%) and is related best to the severity of the disease and to obesity. In OS patients diurnal pulmonary hypertension is frequent but does not correlate with the severity of nocturnal desaturation.
