Article Abstract
Adaptive servo-ventilation as well as continuous and bi-level positive airway pressure seems to effectively treat sleep apnea syndrome (SAS) in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF), and to improve left ventricular function. However, no randomized data show a significant impact of ventilation on survival in patients with CHF. By contrast, there is overwhelming evidence that cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) improves outcomes in patients with CHF. CRT also provides a clinically significant decrease in SAS severity in patients with CHF. Consequently, CRT eligibility criteria should always be searched for in patients with severe CHF having SAS.

Aim To determine the prevalence and predictors for the development of newly diagnosed chronic heart failure (CHF) in patients with shortness of breath in long-term post-COVID syndrome.Material and methods This screening cross-sectional clinical study was performed from April 2020 through April 2024, in two stages in an outpatient setting. At the first stage, 878 patients with shortness of breath were screened three or more months after COVID-19, and the presence of at least three diagnostic criteria for CHF, that were not in their history, was verified.

Background: Acute postoperative hypertension (APH) is encountered in patients following craniotomy and is associated with major complications. This retrospective cohort study evaluates 30-day survival for patients who received labetalol, nicardipine, or both drugs.
Methods: Patients 18 and older who underwent craniotomy between January 1, 2010 and January 1, 2023 were included in the study.

Healthcare systems across Europe and globally are increasingly challenged by the need to deliver high-quality, coordinated care for complex patient populations, such as those living with chronic heart failure (CHF). Many national healthcare policies consider the adoption and implementation of patient-centred and interoperable information communication technologies-enabled solutions offered in a single digital platform as a key facilitator towards the transition to integrated and coordinated care. Aiming to support CHF patients and to assist their management, in this paper, we present CareCardia, a modular digital solution designed to support the comprehensive management of CHF.

Purpose: This study aimed to explore health literacy profiles in patients with heart failure and identify heterogeneous subgroups within the chronic heart failure population. Through investigating the health literacy of heart failure patients, we analyzed the factors influencing patients' health literacy levels, aiming to provide evidence-based guidance for improving health literacy in this patient population.
Methods: This study employed a cross-sectional design.

Objectives: Accurate diagnosis of biliary strictures remains challenging. This study aimed to develop an artificial intelligence (AI) system for peroral cholangioscopy (POCS) using a Vision Transformer (ViT) architecture and to evaluate its performance compared to different vendor devices, conventional convolutional neural networks (CNNs), and endoscopists.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 125 patients with indeterminate biliary strictures who underwent POCS between 2012 and 2024.
