8% vs 4.5%, P < 0.001). The adjusted absolute difference in risk of death was 2.3% [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.8-3.9] at 90 days and 4.7% (95% CI 2.6-6.7) at 1 year. DSWI was independently associated with 90-day [adjusted relative risk (aRR) 1.89 (95% CI 1.38-2.59)], 1-year [aRR 2.13 (95% CI 1.68-2.71)] and long-term all-cause mortality [adjusted hazard ratio 1.56 (95% CI 1.30-1.88)].

Both short- and long-term mortality risks are higher in DSWI patients compared to non-DSWI patients. These results stress the importance of preventing these infections and careful postoperative monitoring of DSWI patients.

Longitudinal analysis on 21,756 HF- and AF-free subjects recruited in the Moli-sani Study (2005-2010; Italy) and followed up for 8.2 years. CSD was computed using childhood SES, education and adulthood SES indicators, and the same were used to define overall trajectories. High disadvantage across life course (CSD≥8) posed subjects at increased risk of HF (Hazard ratio [HR]=2.58; 95%CI 1.78, 3.74) or AF (HR=1.57;1.05,2.33), as compared to low CSD. All explanatory factors accounted for 18.5% and 24% of the excess of HF and AF risks, respectively, associated with CSD. For subjects with low childhood SES, advancements in education lowered risk of HF (HR=0.70;0.48, 1.02) or AF (HR=0.50;0.28, 0.89), whereas achievements of adulthood SES were unlikely to contribute to disease reduction. In conclusion, a life-course disadvantaged SES is an important predictor of first hospitalization for HF and AF; known risk factors partially explained the SES-disease gradient. Upwardly mobile groups are likely to mitigate the effect of poor childhood circumstances especially through educational advancement.
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is associated with reduced exercise capacity and cardiovascular diseases, both increasing morbidity and risk for premature death. As exercise intolerance often relates to cardiac dysfunction, it remains to be elucidated to what extent such an interplay occurs in T2DM patients without overt cardiovascular diseases. Design Cross-sectional study, NCT03299790.

Fifty-three T2DM patients underwent exercise echocardiography (semi-supine bicycle) with combined ergospirometry. Cardiac output (CO), left ventricular longitudinal strain (LS), oxygen uptake (O2), and oxygen (O2) extraction were assessed simultaneously at rest, low-intensity exercise, and high-intensity exercise. Glycaemic control and lipid profile were assessed in the fasted state. Participants were assigned according to their exercise capacity being adequate or impaired (EXadequate O2peak <80% and EXimpaired O2peak ≥80% of predicted O2peak) to compare O2 extraction, CO, and LS at all stages.

Epidemiological studies found a link between aircraft noise exposure and increased incidence of arterial hypertension and cardiovascular disease, but the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms are not fully understood. Clinical studies have shown that mental stress affects the systemic and renal haemodynamic, but no such study was performed with noise exposure as stress factor. We analysed systemic and renal effects of 25 min standardized aircraft noise in a sham controlled clinical study including 80 healthy men and 34 male patients with hypertension.

Systemic haemodynamic parameters were measured using electrocardiography and impedance cardiography. Lapatinib mouse The renal haemodynamic was assessed using steady state input clearance with infusion of para-aminohippuric acid and inulin for glomerular filtration rate and renal plasma flow, respectively. In the systemic circulation of hypertensive patients, there was an increase in total peripheral resistance (TPR) (1420 ± 387 vs. 1640 ± 516 dyn·s·cm-5, P = 0.001) and ertensive patients are more susceptible for noise-induced changes of vascular resistance in the systemic circulation.
In hypertensive but not healthy men we observed a systemic vasoconstrictive response after aircraft noise exposure accompanied by a decrease in CI. No significant changes were observed in the renal circulation. Our results suggest that male hypertensive patients are more susceptible for noise-induced changes of vascular resistance in the systemic circulation.
Patients with heart failure and low income have a high mortality risk. We examined whether lower survival among low-income patients with heart failure could be explained by different use of β -blockers, renin-angiotensin system inhibitors (RASi), and implanted devices compared with high-income patients.

We linked Danish national registries to identify patients with new-onset heart failure between 2005 and 2016. A total of 18308 patients was included in the main analysis. We collected information on medical treatment and device therapy after discharge. We investigated the remaining income disparity if everybody had the same probability of treatment as the high-income patients. We used causal mediation analysis to examine to what extent treatment differences mediate the association between income and 1-year mortality in strata defined by sex and cohabitation status. If low-income patients had the same probability of initiating β-blockers and RASi treatment as high-income patients, low-income men who lived alone would increase initiation of treatment by 12.4% (CI 10.0% to 14.9%) and as a result reduce their absolute 1-year mortality by 1.0% (CI -1.4% to -0.5%). If low-income patients had the same probability of not having breaks in medical treatment and getting device therapy, as high-income patients, low-income patients would increase the probability of not having breaks in treatment between 1.8% and 5.8% and increase the probability of getting device therapy between 1.0% and 3.8%, across strata of sex and cohabitation status.

Lower rates of treatment initiation appear to mediate the poorer survival seen among patients with heart failure and low income, but only in males living alone.
