The purpose of this study is to determine whether treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) with positive airway pressure starting shortly after acute ischemic stroke or high risk TIA (1) reduces recurrent stroke, acute coronary syndrome, and all-cause mortality 6 months after the event, and (2) improves stroke outcomes at 3 months in patients who experienced an ischemic stroke.

Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is uncommon but important cause of acute coronary syndrome and sudden cardiac death. There is very little data exists in regards to patient clinical characteristics, risk factors, treatment and outcomes. Our objective is to prospectively assess long term outcomes.
The objectives of this study are to measure psychosocial cardiac distress* in Latinx/Latino/Hispanic (L/H) women with a history of an acute coronary syndrome (ACS), as well as those with traditional cardiovascular risk factors, but no ACS (diabetes, hypercholesterolemia, obesity, and hypertension), to examine the effects a composite measure for psychosocial cardiac distress has on health-related quality of life (QoL) on women with ACS and those with cardiovascular risk factors and to examine the impact acculturation, acculturative stress, perceived discrimination, and familism can have on the association between cardiac distress and QoL on L/H women with ACS and cardiovascular risk factors.
*Cardiac distress is defined as a multidimensional construct that includes several areas of distress (anxiety, depression, stress, anger, social support, traumatic distress, and vital exhaustion).

The purpose of this study is to characterize TRPC6 risk variants for doxorubicin-related cardiotoxicity in prospectively collected samples from breast cancer patients.
Breast cancer patients are more than three times at risk for developing congestive heart failure (CHF), compared with patients who did not have cancer. The increased risk of HF is observed as early as one year from diagnosis of cancer and overall, 7% of patients develop CHF (median follow-up 8.5 years)
