Nat Sci Sleep 2024; 16:653-662. [PMID: 38836215 PMCID: PMC11149624 DOI: 10.2147/nss.s457679] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/02/2024] [Accepted: 05/21/2024] [Indexed: 06/06/2024] Open
Abstract
Objective Compared to low arousal threshold (AT), high AT is an easily overlooked characteristic for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) severity estimation. This study aims to evaluate the relationship between high AT, hypertension and diabetes in OSA, compared to those with apnea-hypopnea index (AHI). Methods A total of 3400 adults diagnosed with OSA were retrospectively recruited. Propensity score matching (PSM) was conducted to further categorize these patients into the low and high AT groups based on the strategy established by previous literature. The different degrees of AHI and quantified AT (AT score) were subsequently measured. The correlation of AT and AHI with the occurrence of various comorbidities in OSA was estimated by logistic regression analysis with odds ratio (OR). Results After PSM, 938 pairs of patients arose. The median AT score of high and low AT group was 21.7 and 12.2 scores, and the adjusted OR of high AT for hypertension and diabetes was 1.31 (95% CI = 1.07-1.62, P < 0.01) and 1.45 (95% CI = 1.01-2.08, P < 0.05), respectively. Compared to low AT score group, the OR significantly increased in patients with very high AT score (30 ≤ AT score), especially for diabetes (OR = 1.79, 95% CI = 1.02-3.13, P < 0.05). The significant association was not observed in AHI with increasing prevalent diabetes. Conclusion Higher AT is significantly associated with increased prevalence of hypertension and diabetes in patients with OSA. Compared with AHI, AT score is a potentially comprehensive indicator for better evaluating the relationship between OSA and related comorbidities.

Med Sci Monit 2024; 30:e942667. [PMID: 38771735 PMCID: PMC11127607 DOI: 10.12659/msm.942667] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/24/2023] [Accepted: 02/27/2024] [Indexed: 05/23/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) presents a significant health concern, particularly among individuals with essential hypertension (EH). Understanding the genetic underpinnings of this association is crucial for effective management and intervention. We investigated the relationship between TRPC3 gene polymorphisms and susceptibility to OSAHS in patients with EH. MATERIAL AND METHODS We enrolled 373 patients with EH hospitalized at the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University between April 2015 and November 2017. Patients were categorized into EH (n=74) and EH+OSAHS (n=299) groups according to the apnea-hypopnea index. Sequenom detection technology was used for TRPC3 gene single-nucleotide polymorphism genotyping, including genotypes at rs953691, rs10518289, rs2292232, rs4995894, rs951974, and rs4292355. RESULTS Sex, smoking history, alcohol history, hypertension duration, fasting blood glucose, urea, creatinine, total cholesterol, HDL-C, LDL-C, glycosylated hemoglobin, 24-h mean systolic BP, and 24-h mean diastolic BP were not significantly different between the 2 groups (P>0.05); however, age, BMI, triglyceride levels differed significantly (P<0.05). No significant difference was detected in distribution frequency of polymorphisms of TRPC3 gene between the 2 groups (P>0.05), while genotype, dominant genotype, and recessive genotype at rs10518289 and alleles at rs4292355 differed significantly (P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed age, BMI, and CG+GG genotypes at rs10518289 were risk factors for OSAHS in patients with EH. Interaction between TRPC3 (rs10518289) and obesity was not a risk of OSAHS with EH (P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS CC genotype of rs10518289 in the TRPC3 gene could be a protective genetic marker of OSAHS, and CG+GG genotype may be a risk genetic marker of OSAHS with EH.

Abstract
Rationale Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) increases the risk of cardiac arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. Objectives To characterize the associations between SDB, intermittent hypoxemia, and the beat-to-beat QT variability index (QTVI), a measure of ventricular repolarization lability associated with a higher risk for cardiac arrhythmias, sudden cardiac death, and mortality. Methods Three distinct cohorts were used for the current study. The first cohort, used for cross-sectional analysis, was a matched sample of 122 participants with and without severe SDB. The second cohort, used for longitudinal analysis, consisted of a matched sample of 52 participants with and without incident SDB. The cross-sectional and longitudinal cohorts were selected from the Sleep Heart Health Study participants. The third cohort comprised 19 healthy adults exposed to acute intermittent hypoxia and ambient air on two separate days. Electrocardiographic measures were calculated from one-lead electrocardiograms. Results Compared to those without SDB, participants with severe SDB had greater QTVI (-1.19 in participants with severe SDB vs. -1.43 in participants without SDB, P = 0.027), heart rate (68.34 vs. 64.92 beats/minute; P = 0.028), and hypoxemia burden during sleep as assessed by the total sleep time with oxygen saturation less than 90% (TST90; 11.39% vs. 1.32%, P < 0.001). TST90, but not the frequency of arousals, was a predictor of QTVI. QTVI during sleep was predictive of all-cause mortality. With incident SDB, mean QTVI increased from -1.23 to -0.86 over 5 years (P = 0.017). Finally, exposing healthy adults to acute intermittent hypoxia for four hours progressively increased QTVI (from -1.85 at baseline to -1.64 after four hours of intermittent hypoxia; P = 0.016). Conclusions Prevalent and incident SDB are associated with ventricular repolarization instability, which predisposes to ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. Intermittent hypoxemia destabilizes ventricular repolarization and may contribute to increased mortality in SDB.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Obesity refers to a significant contributor to the development of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Early prediction of OSA usually leads to better treatment outcomes, and this study aims to employ novel metabolic markers, visceral adiposity index (VAI), and lipid accumulation product (LAP) to evaluate the relationship to OSA. METHODS The data used in the current cross-sectional investigation are from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), which was carried out between 2015 and 2018. To examine the correlation between LAP and VAI levels and OSA, multivariate logistic regression analysis was adopted. In addition, various analytical methods were applied, including subgroup analysis, smooth curve fitting, and threshold effect analysis. RESULTS Among totally 3932 participants, 1934 were included in the OSA group. The median (Q1-Q3) values of LAP and VAI for the participants were 40.25 (21.51-68.26) and 1.27 (0.75-2.21), respectively. Logistic regression studies indicated a positive correlation between LAP, VAI, and OSA risk after adjusting for potential confounding variables. Subgroup analysis revealed a stronger correlation between LAP, VAI levels, and OSA among individuals aged < 60 years. Through smooth curve fitting, specific saturation effects of LAP, VAI, and BMD were identified, with inflection points at 65.684 and 0.428, respectively. CONCLUSION This study demonstrates that elevated levels of LAP and VAI increase the risk of OSA, suggesting their potential as predictive markers for OSA and advocating for dietary and exercise interventions to mitigate OSA risk in individuals with high LAP and VAI levels.

Abstract
Patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) are liable to have resistant hypertension (RH) associated with unfavorable cardiovascular events. It is of necessity to predict OSA patients who are susceptible to resistant hypertension. Hence, we conducted a retrospective study based on the clinical records of OSA patients admitted to Yixing Hospital Affiliated to Jiangsu University from January 2018 to December 2022. According to different time periods, patients diagnosed between January 2018 and December 2021 were included in the training set (n = 539) for modeling, and those diagnosed between January 2022 and December 2022 were enrolled into the validation set (n = 259) for further assessment. The incidence of RH in the training set and external validation set was comparable (P = 0.396). The related clinical data of patients enrolled were collected and analyzed through univariate analysis and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) logistic regression analysis to identify independent risk factors and construct a nomogram. Finally, five variables were confirmed as independent risk factors for OSA patients with RH, including smoking, heart disease, neck circumference, AHI and T90. The nomogram established on the basis of variables above was shown to have good discrimination and calibration in both the training set and validation set. Decision curve analysis indicated that the nomogram was useful for a majority of OSA patients. Therefore, our nomogram might be useful to identify OSA patients at high risk of developing RH and facilitate the individualized management of OSA patients in clinical practice.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The objective of this study was to determine the independent and incremental values of advanced oxidative protein product (AOPP), interleukin 6 (IL-6), and growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF15) in identifying arteriosclerosis in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). METHODS A total of 104 individuals diagnosed with OSA by polysomnography were recruited in our study. Arteriosclerosis was defined by measuring the ultrafast pulse wave velocity of the carotid artery. Peripheral venous blood samples were collected to analyze the levels of AOPP, IL-6, and GDF15 utilizing commercially available enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. RESULTS Compared to OSA patients without arteriosclerosis, those with arteriosclerosis exhibited significantly higher levels of AOPP, IL-6, and GDF15. GDF15 remained significantly associated with arteriosclerosis even after accounting for clinical factors such as age, gender, body mass index, systolic blood pressure, fasting blood glucose, smoking, and the apnea-hypoxia index (AHI). GDF15 demonstrated the largest area under the curve (AUC) for identifying arteriosclerosis in OSA patients (AUC, 0.85 [0.77-0.94]). The logistic regression model, combining clinical factors and AHI, was enhanced by the inclusion of AOPP and IL-6 (Chi-square = 25.06), and even further improved when GDF15 was added (Chi-square = 50.74). The integrated discrimination index increased by 0.06 to 0.16 when GDF15 was added to the models including clinical factors, AOPP, and IL-6. CONCLUSIONS This study verified the independent and incremental value of GDF15 in identifying arteriosclerosis in OSA patients, surpassing clinical risk factors and other serum biomarkers such as AOPP and IL-6.

Abstract
Intermittent hypoxia (IH) is a central characteristic of sleep apnea syndrome (SAS), and it subjects cells in the body to repetitive apnea, chronic hypoxia, oxygen desaturation, and hypercapnia. Since SAS is linked to various serious cardiovascular complications, especially hypertension, many studies have been conducted to elucidate the mechanism of hypertension induced by SAS/IH. Hypertension in SAS is associated with numerous cardiovascular disorders. As hypertension is the most common complication of SAS, cell and animal models to study SAS/IH have developed and provided lots of hints for elucidating the molecular mechanisms of hypertension induced by IH. However, the detailed mechanisms are obscure and under investigation. This review outlines the molecular mechanisms of hypertension in IH, which include the regulation systems of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that activate the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) and catecholamine biosynthesis in the sympathetic nervous system, resulting in hypertension. And hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs), Endotheline 1 (ET-1), and inflammatory factors are also mentioned. In addition, we will discuss the influences of SAS/IH in cardiovascular dysfunction and the relationship of microRNA (miRNA)s to regulate the key molecules in each mechanism, which has become more apparent in recent years. These findings provide insight into the pathogenesis of SAS and help in the development of future treatments.

Abstract
Background Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a complex and multi-gene inherited disease caused by both genetic and environmental factors. However, due to the high cost of diagnosis and complex operation, its clinical application is limited. This study aims to explore potential target genes associated with OSA and establish a corresponding diagnostic model. Methods This study used microarray datasets from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) related to OSA and perform functional annotation and pathway analysis. The study employed multi-scale embedded gene co-expression network analysis (MEGENA) combined with least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression analysis to select hub genes and construct a diagnostic model for OSA. In addition, the study conducted correlation analysis between hub genes and OSA-related genes, immunoinfiltration, gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA), miRNA network analysis, and identified potential transcription factors (TFs) and targeted drugs for hub genes. Finally, the study used chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH) mouse model to simulate OSA hypoxic conditions and verify the expression of hub genes in CIH mice. Results In this study, a total of 401 upregulated genes and 275 downregulated genes were identified, and enrichment analysis revealed that these differentially expressed genes may be associated with pathways such as vasculature development, cellular response to cytokine stimulus, and negative regulation of cell population proliferation. Through MEGENA combined with LASSO regression, seven OSA hub genes were identified, including C12orf54, FOS, GPR1, OR9A4, MYO5B, RAB39B, and KLHL4. The diagnostic model constructed based on these genes showed strong stability. The expression levels of hub genes were significantly correlated with the expression levels of OSA-related genes and mainly acted on pathways such as the JAK/STAT signaling pathway and the cytosolic DNA-sensing pathway. Drug-target predictions for hub genes were made using the Connectivity Map (CMap) database and the Drug-Gene Interaction database (Dgidb), which identified targeted therapeutic drugs for the hub genes. In vivo experiments showed that the hub genes were all decreasing in the OSA mouse model. Conclusions This study identified novel biomarkers for OSA and established a reliable diagnostic model. The transcriptional changes identified may help to reveal the pathogenesis, mechanisms, and sequelae of OSA.

Abstract
Carotid body pathophysiology is associated with many cardiovascular-respiratory-metabolic diseases. This pathophysiology reflects both hyper-sensitivity and hyper-tonicity. From both animal models and human patients, evidence indicates that amelioration of this pathophysiological signalling improves disease states such as a lowering of blood pressure in hypertension, a reduction of breathing disturbances with improved cardiac function in heart failure (HF) and a re-balancing of autonomic activity with lowered sympathetic discharge. Given this, we have reviewed the mechanisms of carotid body hyper-sensitivity and hyper-tonicity across disease models asking whether there is uniqueness related to specific disease states. Our analysis indicates some commonalities and some potential differences, although not all mechanisms have been fully explored across all disease models. One potential commonality is that of hypoperfusion of the carotid body across hypertension and HF, where the excessive sympathetic drive may reduce blood flow in both models and, in addition, lowered cardiac output in HF may potentiate the hypoperfusion state of the carotid body. Other mechanisms are explored that focus on neurotransmitter and signalling pathways intrinsic to the carotid body (e.g. ATP, carbon monoxide) as well as extrinsic molecules carried in the blood (e.g. leptin); there are also transcription factors found in the carotid body endothelium that modulate its activity (Krüppel-like factor 2). The evidence to date fully supports that a better understanding of the mechanisms of carotid body pathophysiology is a fruitful strategy for informing potential new treatment strategies for many cardiovascular, respiratory and metabolic diseases, and this is highly relevant clinically.

Abstract
Background This Obesity Medicine Association (OMA) Clinical Practice Statement (CPS) provides an overview of the mechanisms and treatment of obesity and hypertension. Methods The scientific support for this CPS is based upon published citations, clinical perspectives of OMA authors, and peer review by the Obesity Medicine Association leadership. Results Mechanisms contributing to obesity-related hypertension include unhealthful nutrition, physical inactivity, insulin resistance, increased sympathetic nervous system activity, renal dysfunction, vascular dysfunction, heart dysfunction, increased pancreatic insulin secretion, sleep apnea, and psychosocial stress. Adiposopathic factors that may contribute to hypertension include increased release of free fatty acids, increased leptin, decreased adiponectin, increased renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system activation, increased 11 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1, reduced nitric oxide activity, and increased inflammation. Conclusions Increase in body fat is the most common cause of hypertension. Among patients with obesity and hypertension, weight reduction via healthful nutrition, physical activity, behavior modification, bariatric surgery, and anti-obesity medications mostly decrease blood pressure, with the greatest degree of weight reduction generally correlated with the greatest degree of blood pressure reduction.

Abstract
Purpose: Interventional approaches to treat hypertension are an emerging option that may be suitable for patients whose BP control cannot be achieved with lifestyle and/or pharmacotherapy and possibly for those who do not wish to take drug therapy.Materials and Methods: Interventional strategies include renal denervation with radiofrequency, ultrasound and alcohol-mediated platforms as well as baroreflex activation therapy and cardiac neuromodulation therapy. Presently renal denervation is the most advanced of the therapeutic options and is currently being commercialised in the EU.Results: It is apparent that RDN is effective in both unmedicated patients and patients with more severe hypertension including those with resistant hypertension.Conclusion: However, at present there is no evidence for the use of RDN in patients with secondary forms of hypertension and thus evaluation to rule these out is necessary before proceeding with a procedure. Furthermore, there are numerous pitfalls in the diagnosis and management of secondary hypertension which need to be taken into consideration. Finally, prior to performing an intervention it is appropriate to document presence/absence of hypertension-mediated organ damage.

Abstract
Chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH) is the dominant pathological feature of human obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA), which is highly prevalent and associated with cardiovascular and renal diseases. CIH causes hypertension, centred on sympathetic nervous overactivity, which persists following removal of the CIH stimulus. Molecular mechanisms contributing to CIH-induced hypertension have been carefully delineated. However, there is a dearth of knowledge on the efficacy of interventions to ameliorate high blood pressure in established disease. CIH causes endothelial dysfunction, aberrant structural remodelling of vessels and accelerates atherosclerotic processes. Pro-inflammatory and pro-oxidant pathways converge on disrupted nitric oxide signalling driving vascular dysfunction. In addition, CIH has adverse effects on the myocardium, manifesting atrial fibrillation, and cardiac remodelling progressing to contractile dysfunction. Sympatho-vagal imbalance, oxidative stress, inflammation, dysregulated HIF-1α transcriptional responses and resultant pro-apoptotic ER stress, calcium dysregulation, and mitochondrial dysfunction conspire to drive myocardial injury and failure. CIH elaborates direct and indirect effects in the kidney that initially contribute to the development of hypertension and later to chronic kidney disease. CIH-induced morphological damage of the kidney is dependent on TLR4/NF-κB/NLRP3/caspase-1 inflammasome activation and associated pyroptosis. Emerging potential therapies related to the gut-kidney axis and blockade of aryl hydrocarbon receptors (AhR) are promising. Cardiorenal outcomes in response to intermittent hypoxia present along a continuum from adaptation to maladaptation and are dependent on the intensity and duration of exposure to intermittent hypoxia. This heterogeneity of OSA is relevant to therapeutic treatment options and we argue the need for better stratification of OSA phenotypes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the relationship between aerodynamic characteristics of the upper airway and severity of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in adults. METHODS Ninety-seven adult OSA patients underwent polysomnography and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). The anatomical and aerodynamic characteristics were measured based on CBCT images and computational fluid dynamics modelling of the upper airway. RESULTS After controlling for patients' gender, age, and body mass index (BMI), the maximum velocity during inspiration (In-Vmax) led to the largest increase in the explanatory power of apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) variation. The In-Vmax was closely correlated with the minimum axial area, and their relationship was represented by an inversely proportional fitted curve. CONCLUSIONS The In-Vmax was the most relevant to OSA severity, and it could be used to assist in recognizing severe OSA patients and as a primary variable to evaluate treatment outcomes of OSA. The In-Vmax was closely related to the most constricted area of the upper airway.

Abstract
Sleep apnea is a public health concern around the world, but little research has been dedicated to examining this issue in low- and middle-income countries, including Samoa. Using data collected through the Soifua Manuia ("Good Health") study, which aimed to investigate the impact of the body mass index (BMI)-associated genetic variant rs373863828 in CREB3 Regulatory Factor ( CREBRF ) on metabolic traits in Samoan adults, we examined the sample prevalence and characteristics of sleep apnea using data collected with a validated home sleep apnea device (WatchPAT, Itamar). A total of 330 participants (sampled to overrepresent the obesity-risk allele of interest) had sleep data available. Participants (53.3% female) had a mean (SD) age of 52.0 (9.9) years and BMI of 35.5 (7.5) kg/m 2 and 36.3% of the sample had type 2 diabetes. Based on the 3% and 4% apnea hypopnea indices (AHI) and the 4% oxygen desaturation index (ODI), descriptive analyses revealed that many participants had potentially actionable sleep apnea defined as >5 events/hr (87.9%, 68.5%, and 71.2%, respectively) or clinically actionable sleep apnea defined as ≥15 events/hr (54.9%, 31.5%, and 34.5%, respectively). Sleep apnea was more severe in men; for example, clinically actionable sleep apnea (≥15) based on the AHI 3% definition was observed in 61.7% of men and 48.9% of women. Correction for non-representational sampling related to the CREBRF obesity-risk allele resulted in only slightly lower estimates. Across the AHI 3%, AHI 4%, and ODI 4%, multiple linear regression revealed associations between a greater number of events/hr and higher age, male sex, higher body mass index, higher abdominal-hip circumference ratio, and geographic region of residence. Our study identified a much higher frequency of sleep apnea in Samoa compared with published data from other studies, but similar predictors. Continued research addressing generalizability of these findings, as well as a specific focus on diagnosis and affordable and equitable access to treatment, is needed to alleviate the burden of sleep apnea in Samoa and around the world.

Abstract
Background and Aims Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) have emerged as a substantial burden in developing countries, representing the leading cause of mortality. Addressing this critical issue necessitates effective interventions and policy measures. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the risk factors associated with NCD prevalence in Tanzania. Methods This study employed a nonexperimental research design due to its ability to analyze secondary data without altering variables. The used data set of the study was sourced from National Panel Survey 2020/21 and Household Budget Survey 2017/18. The econometrics analysis applied in the study include two-stage residual inclusion (2SRI) and control function approach due to their ability to suppress endogeneity and enhance the clarity of results. Results The findings indicate a significant positive correlation between alcohol consumption (0.4110382, p = 0.02), cigarette smoking (0.3354297, p < 0.001), and NCDs, emphasizing the urgency of targeted interventions to mitigate these behaviors. Conversely, a negative correlation is observed between fruit and vegetable intake (-0.1063375, p < 0.001), physical exercises (-0.3744925, p < 0.001), and NCDs, underscoring the importance of promoting healthy dietary habits and frequent exercises. Conclusion These results accentuate the immediate need for targeted interventions and policy measures to address these risk factors and effectively combat the escalating burden of NCDs in Tanzania and similar contexts. Moreover, the need for improved public awareness campaigns and the promotion of healthy life campaigns are vital in the fight to lower the prevalence of NCDs across communities.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases and diabetes mellitus are currently among the diseases with the highest morbidity and mortality. The pathogenesis and development of these diseases remain strongly connected, along with inflammation playing a major role. Therefore, the treatment possibilities showing a positive impact on both of these diseases could be especially beneficial for patients. SGLT-2 inhibitors and GLP-1 receptor agonists present this dual effect. Moreover, the hostile composition of the gut microbiota could influence the progression of these conditions. In this review, the authors present the latest knowledge on and innovations in diabetes mellitus and CVD-with the focus on the molecular mechanisms and the role of the microbiota.

Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) is a chronic and common sleep-breathing disease that could negatively influence lives of patients and cause serious concomitant diseases. Polysomnography(PSG) is the gold standard for diagnosing OSAHS, but it is expensive and requires overnight hospitalization. Snoring is a typical symptom of OSAHS. This study proposes an effective OSAHS screening method based on snoring sound analysis. Snores were labeled as OSAHS related snoring sounds and simple snoring sounds according to real-time PSG records. Three models were used, including acoustic features combined with XGBoost, Mel-spectrum combined with convolution neural network (CNN), and Mel-spectrum combined with residual neural network (ResNet). Further, the three models were fused by soft voting to detect these two types of snoring sounds. The subject's apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) was estimated according to these recognized snoring sounds. The accuracy and recall of the proposed fusion model achieved 83.44% and 85.27% respectively, and the predicted AHI has a Pearson correlation coefficient of 0.913 (R2 = 0.834, p < 0.001) with PSG. The results demonstrate the validity of predicting AHI based on analysis of snoring sound and show great potential for monitoring OSAHS at home.

Abstract
Objectives The objective of this study was to explore the association between nocturia and hypertension in a large, nationally representative adult sample. Methods We used data from 2005 to 2016 National Health and Nutritional Examination Surveys (NHANES). A total of 29,505 participants aged 20 years old or older were included. A participant was considered to have nocturia if he or she had two or more voiding episodes at night. Multivariable logistic regression models were used to explore the association between nocturia and hypertension. Results Participants with nocturia were associated with a higher risk of hypertension (OR, 1.36; 95% CI, 1.28-1.45). Interaction tests revealed no significant effect of sex, age, race, or body mass index on the association of nocturia with hypertension. As the severity of nocturia increases, the risk of hypertension increases (P for trend <0.0001). In addition, nocturia was also related to different grades of hypertension (II vs. I: OR, 1.34, 95% CI, 1.16-1.55; III vs. I: OR, 1.67, 95% CI, 1.32-2.13). Conclusion In this cross-sectional study, our results suggest that nocturia is associated with an increased risk for hypertension.

Abstract
Hypertension (HT) is a worldwide public health issue and an essential risk factor for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a condition characterized by recurrent episodes of apnea and hypopnea as a consequence of partial or complete obstruction of the upper airways due to anatomic and/or functional disturbances. There is mounting evidence of a relationship between OSA and HT. In patients with OSA, HT is predominantly nocturnal and characterized by high diastolic blood pressure and usually by a nondipping pattern. Optimizing the blood pressure control is recommended in the current guidelines as the first treatment option in hypertensive patients with OSA. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy may reduce blood pressure, albeit only slightly as a stand-alone treatment. CPAP, as an add-on treatment to antihypertensive medication, appears to be an efficient treatment modality when both conditions coexist. This narrative review aims to summarize the current perspectives on the association of OSA with HT and the treatment options available for adults with OSA-related HT.

Clinical data of 1009 hypertensive subjects extracted from the Sleep Laboratory database were analyzed. Framingham Risk Score ≥ 10% was used as a cut-off to identify hypertensive subjects with high 10-year risk for CVD. The association between 10-year risk for CVD and COMISA was investigated using logistic regression analyses. 65.3% of hypertensive subjects from our sample presented a high 10-year risk for CVD. After controlling for major confounding factors, multivariate logistic regression analyses demonstrated that unlike its components present separately, COMISA was significantly associated with high 10-year risk for CVD in hypertensive subjects (OR 1.88, 95% CI 1.01-3.51). In this study, we have demonstrated that the negative synergy between obstructive sleep apnea syndrome and insomnia disorder seems to play a central role in the 10-year risk for CVD in hypertensive subjects, which seems to indicate that the establishment of a systematic research and an adapted treatment of COMISA could open new perspectives to promote a better cardiovascular outcome in this specific subgroup of patients.

Abstract
AIM To assess the role of obstructive sleep apnea and other cardiovascular (CV) risk factors in the development of the antihypertensive therapy (AHT) efficacy "escape" phenomenon in patients with arterial hypertension (AH). MATERIALS AND METHODS The data of 75 patients with AH stage I-II, grades 1-3 were proceeded. All patients included in the study underwent night respiratory monitoring. After AHT prescription, blood pressure (BP) was monitored by three measurement methods (office, daily monitoring and self-control of blood pressure) - initially, in 1, 3 and 6 months after the inclusion - in order to confirm the initial therapy efficacy and to identify or exclude the "escape" phenomenon. RESULTS In 36.0% of patients, the "escape" phenomenon was diagnosed in 1 or 3 months of observation. When comparing the group with the "escape" phenomenon, an initially higher level of systolic BP was revealed according to office measurements, 24-hour monitoring and self-control BP monitoring (134.0±4.7 mmHg vs 126.0±8.5 mmHg; 129.0±2.3 mmHg vs 121.0±7.7 mmHg; 131.0±8.2 mmHg vs 121.5±6.2 mmHg resp.; р<0,05). There were no differences in sleep apnea and CV risk factors between the groups. However in patients with a minimal SpO2≤85% during sleep, there were a higher levels of office systolic BP both before the AHT prescription, and during its use (157.6±10.4 mmHg vs 152.4±8.1 mmHg resp., р<0,05; 132.0±6.8 vs 127.1±8.9 mmHg resp.; р<0,05), and mean 24-hour systolic BP (125.7±5.9 vs 121.6±8.2 mmHg resp.; р<0,05) - compared with patients with a minimum SpO2>85%. CONCLUSION The higher BP level in patients with lover nocturnal hypoxemia does not allow us to exclude the delayed negative impact of obstructive sleep apnea, especially severe, on the BP profile in case of initially successful AH control.

Arterial bicarbonate is associated with hypoxic burden and uncontrolled hypertension in obstructive sleep apnea - The ESADA cohort. Sleep Med 2023; 102:39-45. [PMID: 36599194 DOI: 10.1016/j.sleep.2022.11.041] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/23/2022] [Revised: 11/29/2022] [Accepted: 11/30/2022] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Blood bicarbonate concentration plays an important role for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients to maintain acid-base balance. We investigated the association between arterial standard bicarbonate ([HCO3-]) and nocturnal hypoxia as well as comorbid hypertension in OSA. METHODS A cross-sectional analysis of 3329 patients in the European Sleep Apnea Database (ESADA) was performed. Arterial blood gas analysis and lung function test were performed in conjunction with polysomnographic sleep studies. The 4% oxygen desaturation index (ODI), mean and minimum oxygen saturation (SpO2), and percentage of time with SpO2 below 90% (T90%) were used to reflect nocturnal hypoxic burden. Arterial hypertension was defined as a physician diagnosis of hypertension with ongoing antihypertensive medication. Hypertensive patients with SBP/DBP below or above 140/90 mmHg were classified as controlled-, uncontrolled hypertension, respectively. RESULTS The [HCO3-] level was normal in most patients (average 24.0 ± 2.5 mmol/L). ODI, T90% increased whereas mean and minimum SpO2 decreased across [HCO3-] tertiles (ANOVA, p = 0.030, <0.001, <0.001, and <0.001, respectively). [HCO3-] was independently associated with ODI, mean SpO2, minimum SpO2, and T90% after adjusting for confounders (β value [95%CI]: 1.21 [0.88-1.54], -0.16 [-0.20 to -0.11], -0.51 [-0.64 to -0.37], 1.76 [1.48-2.04], respectively, all p < 0.001). 1 mmol/L elevation of [HCO3-] was associated with a 4% increased odds of uncontrolled hypertension (OR: 1.04 [1.01-1.08], p = 0.013). CONCLUSION We first demonstrated an independent association between [HCO3-] and nocturnal hypoxic burden as well as uncontrolled hypertension in OSA patients. Bicarbonate levels as an adjunctive measure provide insight into the pathophysiology of hypertension in OSA.

Abstract
We investigated the alteration of gut microbiota and the associated metabolic risks in hypertensive patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) comorbidity. Fecal and blood samples were collected from 52 hypertensive patients, who were divided into three groups: A (controls, apnea-hypopnea index[AHI] < 5, n = 15), B (mild OSA, 5 < AHI < 20, n = 17), and C (moderate-to-severe OSA, AHI > 20, n = 20). The composition of the gut microbiota was studied through 16s RNA sequencing of variable regions 3-4. Analysis of the results revealed that group C had a significant higher concentration of total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein, and IL-1β compared with group A. The Shannon index showed that bacterial biodiversity was lower in OSA patients. At the phylum level, the ratio of Firmicutes to Bacteroidetes (F/B) was significantly higher in group C than in groups A and B. At the genus level, the relative abundance of short-chain fatty acids (SCFA)-producing bacteria (e.g., Bacteroides and Prevotella) was lower while the number of inflammation-related bacteria (e.g., Lactobacillus) was increased in patients with OSA. We found that the IL-1β level was negatively correlated with Bacteroidetes. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was .672 for F/B ratio in determining hypertensive patients with OSA. In patients with hypertension, OSA was associated with worse gut dysbiosis, as evidenced by decreased levels of short-chain fatty acids-producing bacteria and increased number of inflammation-related bacteria. The differences in gut microbiota discriminate hypertensive patients with OSA from those without and may result in an enhanced inflammatory response and increase the risk of metabolic diseases.

Abstract
Sleep Apnoea (SA) is a common chronic illness that affects nearly 1 billion people around the world, and the number of patients is rising. SA causes a wide range of psychological and physiological ailments that have detrimental effects on a patient’s wellbeing. The high prevalence and negative health effects make SA a public health problem. Whilst the current gold standard diagnostic procedure, polysomnography (PSG), is reliable, it is resource-expensive and can have a negative impact on sleep quality, as well as the environment. With this study, we focus on the environmental impact that arises from resource utilisation during SA detection, and we propose remote monitoring (RM) as a potential solution that can improve the resource efficiency and reduce travel. By reusing infrastructure technology, such as mobile communication, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence (AI), RM establishes SA detection and diagnosis support services in the home environment. However, there are considerable barriers to a widespread adoption of this technology. To gain a better understanding of the available technology and its associated strength, as well as weaknesses, we reviewed scientific papers that used various strategies for RM-based SA detection. Our review focused on 113 studies that were conducted between 2018 and 2022 and that were listed in Google Scholar. We found that just over 50% of the proposed RM systems incorporated real time signal processing and around 20% of the studies did not report on this important aspect. From an environmental perspective, this is a significant shortcoming, because 30% of the studies were based on measurement devices that must travel whenever the internal buffer is full. The environmental impact of that travel might constitute an additional need for changing from offline to online SA detection in the home environment.

Associations of the Cardiometabolic Index with the Risk of Cardiovascular Disease in Patients with Hypertension and Obstructive Sleep Apnea: Results of a Longitudinal Cohort Study. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2022; 2022:4914791. [PMID: 35783191 PMCID: PMC9246614 DOI: 10.1155/2022/4914791] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/15/2022] [Revised: 04/08/2022] [Accepted: 05/25/2022] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
Purpose We aimed to explore the relationship between the cardiometabolic index (CMI) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) and its subtypes (coronary artery disease and stroke) in patients with hypertension and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Methods We conducted a retrospective cohort study enrolling 2067 participants from the Urumqi Research on Sleep Apnea and Hypertension study. The CMI was calculated as triglyceride to high‐density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio × waist‐to‐height ratio. Participants were divided into three groups (T1, T2, and T3) according to the tertile of CMI. The Kaplan-Meier method helped to calculate the cumulative incidence of CVD in different groups. We assessed the association of CMI with the risk of CVD and CVD subtypes by estimating hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) using Cox models. Results During a median follow-up of 6.83 years (interquartile range: 5.92-8.00 years), 326 incident CVD were identified, including 121 incident stroke and 205 incident coronary heart disease (CHD). Overall, after adjusting for confounding variables, CMI was positively associated with the risk of new-onset CVD (per SD increment, adjusted HR: 1.31; 95% CI: 1.20, 1.43), new-onset CHD (per SD increment, adjusted HR: 1.33; 95% CI: 1.20, 1.48), and new-onset stroke (per SD increment, adjusted HR: 1.27; 95% CI: 1.10, 1.47). Similar results were obtained in various subgroup and sensitivity analyses. Adding CMI to the baseline risk model for CVD improved the C-index (P < 0.001), continuous net reclassification improvement (P < 0.001), and integrated discrimination index (P < 0.001). Similar results were observed for CHD and stroke. Conclusion There was a positive association between CMI levels and the risk of new-onset CVD in patients with hypertension and OSA. This finding suggests that CMI may help identify people at high risk of developing CVD.
