Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA), characterized by recurrent periods of upper airway obstruction and intermittent hypoxaemia, is prevalent in patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD), and is therefore important to consider in the prevention and management of CVD. Observational studies indicate that OSA is a risk factor for incident hypertension, poorly controlled blood pressure, stroke, myocardial infarction, heart failure, cardiac arrhythmias, sudden cardiac death and all-cause death. However, clinical trials have not provided consistent evidence that treatment with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) improves cardiovascular outcomes. These overall null findings might be explained by limitations in trial design and low levels of adherence to CPAP. Studies have also been limited by the failure to consider OSA as a heterogeneous disorder that consists of multiple subtypes resulting from variable contributions from anatomical, physiological, inflammatory and obesity-related risk factors, and resulting in different physiological disturbances. Novel markers of sleep apnoea-associated hypoxic burden and cardiac autonomic response have emerged as predictors of OSA-related susceptibility to adverse health outcomes and treatment response. In this Review, we summarize our understanding of the shared risk factors and causal links between OSA and CVD and emerging knowledge on the heterogeneity of OSA. We discuss the varied mechanistic pathways that result in CVD that also vary across subgroups of OSA, as well as the potential role of new biomarkers for CVD risk stratification.

A Narrative Review of Sex and Gender Differences in Sleep Disordered Breathing: Gaps and Opportunities. LIFE (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 12:life12122003. [PMID: 36556368 PMCID: PMC9786006 DOI: 10.3390/life12122003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/04/2022] [Revised: 11/26/2022] [Accepted: 11/29/2022] [Indexed: 12/05/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Sleep disordered breathing (SDB) is a common condition, associated with multiple comorbidities including cardiovascular and metabolic disease. It has been previously established that SDB is more prevalent in men than women, shifting the literature's focus away from the latter population. As such, underdiagnosis, and thus undertreatment, of SDB in women exists. METHODS To establish the differences in prevalence, clinical presentation, and pathophysiology of SDB between the two sexes, a narrative review of the current literature was performed. RESULTS Rates of SDB are higher among men, likely driven by differences in symptom presentation between men and women, with women presenting with more "atypical" symptoms, and lack of sensitivity in SDB screening tools to detect SDB in women. In addition to the cardiovascular risks of SDB, women with SDB may have worse quality of life, higher prevalence of insomnia, and respiratory issues. DISCUSSION More research is needed to better define the unique pathophysiology and clinical presentation of SDB in women. In addition, an increased awareness among health care providers and the lay public of the SDB-specific sex and gender differences will serve to minimize disparities in identification and treatment of SDB in women.

Clinical Characteristics of Hypertensive Patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnoea Syndrome Developing Different Types of Left Ventricular Geometry. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2021; 2021:6631500. [PMID: 33564678 PMCID: PMC7850832 DOI: 10.1155/2021/6631500] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/13/2020] [Revised: 12/19/2020] [Accepted: 01/12/2021] [Indexed: 12/18/2022]
Abstract
Objective The objective of the study was to compare polygraphic parameters and selected laboratory parameters in patients with obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) who develop various types of left ventricular (LV) geometry. Material and Methods. The research covered 122 patients with obstructive sleep apnoea and coexisting effectively treated systemic hypertension (95 men, 27 women, average age: 54 ± 10.63). Overnight polygraphy, echocardiography, carotid artery ultrasonography, and laboratory measurements were performed. The patients were classified into four groups, depending on LV geometry. Group 1 comprised patients with normal LV geometry, group 2 included those with LV concentric remodelling. Group 3 and group 4 were patients with LV hypertrophy, concentric or eccentric, respectively. Results The most frequent type of LV geometry in the examined population was eccentric hypertrophy (36%). The highest average values of BMI and T-Ch were observed in the group of patients with concentric remodelling (group 2). The most severe respiratory disorders were found in the group of patients developing LV concentric hypertrophy (group 3); however, these differences were not statistically significant in comparison to other groups. Patients with LV eccentric hypertrophy had significantly decreased LV ejection fraction (p = 0.0008). Conclusions LV eccentric hypertrophy is the most frequent type of LV geometry in OSA patients. Patients with severe sleep-disordered breathing are more likely to develop concentric hypertrophy, while concentric remodelling occurs more frequently among OSA patients with other coexisting conditions, such as obesity or lipid-related disorders.
