Sleep Disordered Breathing and Mortality in Patients With Hypertrophic Obstructive Cardiomyopathy Undergoing Septal Myectomy.
To determine the impact of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) on survival in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) following septal myectomy. ⋯ Sleep-disordered breathing is present in more than half of patients with obstructive HCM in whom septal myectomy is indicated, and is mainly associated with aging, overweight, and male sex. However, SDB does not alter survival following septal myectomy.

Predicting 1-Year Mortality on Admission Using the Mayo Cardiac Intensive Care Unit Admission Risk Score.
To determine whether the Mayo Cardiac Intensive Care Unit (CICU) Admission Risk Score (M-CARS) accurately predicts 1-year mortality. ⋯ M-CARS predicted 1-year mortality among CICU admissions, with a plateau effect at high M-CARS of 3 or more for hospital survivors. Significant added predictors of 1-year mortality among hospital survivors included markers of frailty and chronic illness.

Adults With Tetralogy of Fallot: Early Postoperative Outcomes and Risk Factors for Complications.
To report the early postoperative outcomes in adults with tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) undergoing cardiac surgery and to identify patient factors associated with complications. ⋯ Surgical interventions for adult patients with TOF can be performed with low early morbidity and mortality. Clinical characteristics and preoperative testing parameters can predict risk for complications in the postoperative period.
