Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a common sleep disorder in which patients feel unpleasent leg sensations and urge to move the legs during rest, especially at night, and symptoms are improved by leg movement. Prior studies analyzing the associations between cardiovascular disease and restless legs syndrome has shown controversial results. The goal of the study was to estimate the relationship between restless legs syndrome and slow coronary flow (SCF). ⋯ Our study concluded that there is a strong link between SCF and RLS.

Observational StudyCardio-ankle vascular index may be an important marker of silent neuronal injury after percutaneous coronary angiography and intervention: a prospective observational study on diagnostic accuracy.
The relationship between silent neuronal injury (SNI) and arterial stiffness assessed by cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) has not been evaluated in patients treated with coronary angiography and intervention due to acute coronary syndrome (ACS). The aim of this study is to evaluate the value of CAVI in prediction of SNI after percutaneous coronary angiography and intervention in patients presented with ACS. ⋯ Besides undergoing PCI and having LVEF, measurement of CAVI may be a useful tool for predicting the development of SNI after percutaneous coronary angiography and intervention in patients with ACS.
