[PMID: 38142557 DOI: 10.1016/j.sleep.2023.12.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/14/2023] [Revised: 11/19/2023] [Accepted: 12/11/2023] [Indexed: 12/26/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Primary aldosteronism (PA) and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) are both causes for resistant hypertension and contribute to adverse cardiovascular outcome. However, the association of these two disorders remains to be investigated. We conducted this meta-analysis to estimate the prevalence and metabolic characteristics of the coexistence of PA and OSA. METHODS The databases of MEDLINE, EMBASE and Cochrane Reviews were searched for studies investigating the prevalence or clinical characteristics of PA and OSA until Jan 2023. Single proportions of PA and OSA were meta-analyzed for pooled prevalence and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% CIs were calculated for the comparison of the prevalence. Mean differences (MDs) and 95% CIs were calculated for comparisons of the characteristics between patients with both OSA and PA and control groups. RESULTS A total of 16 studies were included. The pooled prevalence of PA was 27% (95% CI = 24-29%) in all patients with OSA (n = 3498). The prevalence of PA in patients with OSA was significantly higher than that in the patients without OSA (OR = 2.03, 95% CI = 1.30, 3.16, p = 0.002). The pooled prevalence (95% CI) of OSA was 46% (39-54%) in patients with PA (n = 2335). Compared with the hypertensive patients without PA, the prevalence of OSA in the patients with PA was significantly higher (OR = 2.01, 95% CI = 1.37, 2.95, p < 0.001). Compared with the patients of control groups, the patients with both PA and OSA had higher blood pressure and body mass index (BMI). CONCLUSION Screening for the coexistence of PA and OSA was warranted.

Prevalence of primary aldosteronism in patients with concomitant hypertension and obstructive sleep apnea, baseline data of a cohort. Hypertens Res 2023:10.1038/s41440-023-01226-w. [PMID: 36882631 DOI: 10.1038/s41440-023-01226-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/02/2022] [Revised: 02/02/2023] [Accepted: 02/03/2023] [Indexed: 03/09/2023]
Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and primary aldosteronism (PA) often coexist in hypertension, whereas whether hypertensive patients with OSA should be screened for PA is controversial and whether gender, age, obesity and OSA severity should be considered is unexplored. We explored cross-sectionally prevalence and associated factors of PA in co-existent hypertension and OSA by considering gender, age, obesity and OSA severity. OSA was defined as AHI ≥5 events/h. PA diagnosis was defined, based on the 2016 Endocrine Society Guideline. We included 3306 patients with hypertension (2564 with OSA). PA prevalence was significantly higher in hypertensives with OSA than in those without OSA (13.2 vs 10.0%, P = 0.018). In gender-specific analysis, PA prevalence was significantly higher in hypertensive men with OSA, compared to non-OSA ones (13.8 vs 7.7%, P = 0.001). In further analysis, PA prevalence was significantly higher in hypertensive men with OSA aged <45 years (12.7 vs 7.0%), 45-59 years (16.6 vs 8.5%), and with overweight and obesity (14.1 vs 7.1%) than did their counterparts (P < 0.05). For OSA severity, men participants showed increased PA prevalence from non to moderate OSA and a decrease in the severe OSA group (7.7 vs 12.9 vs 15.1 vs 13.7%, P = 0.008). Young and middle age, moderate-severe OSA, weight, and blood pressure showed a positive independent association with PA presence in logistic regression. In conclusion, PA is prevalent in co-existent hypertension and OSA, indicating the need for PA screening. Studies are needed for women, older and lean population due to the smaller samples in this study.

Influence and implications of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system in obstructive sleep apnea: An updated systematic review and meta-analysis. J Sleep Res 2023; 32:e13726. [PMID: 36104933 PMCID: PMC10078316 DOI: 10.1111/jsr.13726] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/25/2022] [Revised: 07/30/2022] [Accepted: 08/22/2022] [Indexed: 02/03/2023]
Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea is a chronic, sleep-related breathing disorder, which is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease. The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system regulates salt and water homeostasis, blood pressure, and cardiovascular remodelling. Elevated aldosterone levels are associated with excess morbidity and mortality. We aimed to analyse the influence and implications of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system derangement in individuals with and without obstructive sleep apnea. We pooled data from 20 relevant studies involving 2828 participants (1554 with obstructive sleep apnea, 1274 without obstructive sleep apnea). The study outcomes were the levels of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system hormones, blood pressure and heart rate. Patients with obstructive sleep apnea had higher levels of plasma renin activity (pooled wmd+ 0.25 [95% confidence interval 0.04-0.46], p = 0.0219), plasma aldosterone (pooled wmd+ 30.79 [95% confidence interval 1.05-60.53], p = 0.0424), angiotensin II (pooled wmd+ 5.19 [95% confidence interval 3.11-7.27], p < 0.001), systolic (pooled wmd+ 5.87 [95% confidence interval 1.42-10.32], p = 0.0098) and diastolic (pooled wmd+ 3.40 [95% confidence interval 0.86-5.94], p = 0.0086) blood pressure, and heart rate (pooled wmd+ 3.83 [95% confidence interval 1.57-6.01], p = 0.0009) compared with those without obstructive sleep apnea. The elevation remained significant (except for renin levels) when studies involving patients with resistant hypertension were removed. Sub-group analysis demonstrated that levels of angiotensin II were significantly higher only among the Asian population with obstructive sleep apnea compared with those without obstructive sleep apnea. Body mass index accounted for less than 10% of the between-study variance in elevation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system parameters. Patients with obstructive sleep apnea have higher levels of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system hormones, blood pressure and heart rate compared with those without obstructive sleep apnea, which remains significant even among patients without resistant hypertension.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW In this narrative review, we aim to summarize the latest data on the association between primary aldosteronism and resistant hypertension, as well as to emphasize the necessity for screening for primary aldosteronism all patients with resistant hypertension. RECENT FINDINGS Epidemiological data suggests that up to one out of five patients with resistant hypertension suffer from primary aldosteronism. Patients with primary aldosteronism have increased incidence of renal disease, diabetes mellitus, atrial fibrillation, and obstructive sleep apnea, as well as they are characterized by an extended target organ damage and increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Specific treatments for primary hyperaldosteronism (adrenalectomy and mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists) have significant impact on blood pressure, can reverse target organ damage, and mitigate cardiovascular risk. All patients with resistant hypertension should be evaluated for primary aldosteronism. Patients diagnosed with the disease may further undergo lateralization with adrenal vein sampling in order to receive the optimal therapeutic option which results in significant improvements in quality of life and cardiovascular profile.

Abstract
Aldosterone-to-renin ratio is the most reliable screening method of primary aldosteronism and has been widely used in clinical practice, but the index is influenced by many factors, some of which cause it false-negative, consequently leading to primary aldosteronism underdiagnosed. We report a rare case of a 27-year-old woman complaining of elevated arterial blood pressure and spontaneous hypokalemia but whose aldosterone-to-renin ratio were negative consecutively. She also had symptoms of polydipsia and polyuria for more than 20 years, with the volume of water intake and urine output up to 17 liters per day. Confirmatory tests of saline infusion test and captopril challenge test could not suppress plasma aldosterone concentration to the cutoff value. Abdominal contrast-enhanced CT suggested an adenoma on the right adrenal gland. After excluding other known causes of hypertension with hypokalemia, the patient was ultimately diagnosed with aldosterone-producing adenoma complicated with primary polydipsia. Complete clinical remission was achieved after unilateral adrenalectomy. The histopathology showed typical features of adrenocortical adenoma which was positive for CYP11B2 by immunohistochemistry, and next-generation sequencing results of tumor tissues revealed a missense mutation of the KCNJ5 gene [chr11:128781619, c.451 (exon 2) G>A]. All these findings supported the diagnosis of aldosterone-producing adenoma. This study has shown that negative aldosterone-to-renin ratio screening result cannot simply exclude primary aldosteronism. Comprehensive patient's evaluation should be taken to avoid missed diagnosis in clinical work, especially for those who have potentially curative surgery.

Abstract
A recent report demonstrated that the prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is 67.6% among Caucasian and Chinese patients with primary aldosteronism (PA). Moreover, the report showed a significant association between plasma aldosterone concentration (PAC) and the severity of OSA in Caucasian patients. However, no studies have examined the prevalence of OSA with PA or the association of its severity with PAC in the Japanese population. We retrospectively evaluated the prevalence and severity of OSA in 71 newly diagnosed Japanese patients with PA. Thirty-nine (55%) of the 71 patients were diagnosed with OSA, and 69% of PA patients with OSA reported snoring. No correlation was found between the respiratory event index (REI), snoring index, and PAC and plasma renin activity (PRA). In contrast, REI correlated significantly with body mass index (BMI), which was significantly correlated with PRA. In conclusion, although the severity of OSA did not correlate with PAC and PRA, there was a high prevalence of OSA among Japanese patients with PA. Moreover, the severity of OSA was strongly affected by BMI. Thus, the examination of OSA in patients with PA and the proper management of OSA might be important for the Japanese population.

Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a risk of hypertension and is associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD) incidence. In Asian countries, the prevalence of OSA is high, as in Western countries. When blood pressure (BP) is evaluated in OSA individuals using ambulatory BP monitoring (ABPM), the BP phenotype often indicates abnormal BP variability, such as increased nighttime BP or abnormal diurnal BP variation, that is, non‐dipper pattern, riser pattern, and morning BP surge, and all these conditions have been associated with increased CVD events. Asians have a higher prevalence of increased nighttime BP or morning BP surge than Westerners. Therefore, this review paper focused on OSA and hypertension from an Asian perspective to investigate the importance of the association between OSA and hypertension in the Asian population. Such abnormal BP variability has been shown to be associated with progression of arterial stiffness, and this association could provoke a vicious cycle between abnormal BP phenotypes and arterial stiffness, a phenomenon recognized as systemic hemodynamic atherothrombotic syndrome (SHATS). OSA may be one of the background factors that augment SHATS. An oxygen‐triggered nocturnal oscillometric BP measurement device combined with a pulse oximeter for continuous SpO2 monitoring could detect BP variability caused by OSA. In addition to treating the OSA, accurate and reliable detection and treatment of any residual BP elevation and BP variability caused by OSA would be necessary to prevent CVD events. However, more detailed detection of BP variability, such as beat‐by‐beat BP monitoring, would further help to reduce CV events.

Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is regarded as an independent risk factor for hypertension. The possible mechanism includes oxidative stress, endothelial injury, sympathetic excitement, renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system activation, etc. Clinical studies have found that there is a high coexistence of OSA and primary aldosteronism in patients with hypertension and that elevated aldosterone levels are independently associated with OSA severity in resistant hypertension. The underlying mechanism is that aldosterone excess can exacerbate OSA through increasing overnight fluid shift and affecting the mass and function of upper airway muscles during the sleep period. Thus, a bidirectional influence between OSA and aldosterone exists and contributes to hypertension in OSA patients, especially resistant hypertension.

Dent J (Basel) 2020; 8:dj8040119. [PMID: 33066402 PMCID: PMC7711851 DOI: 10.3390/dj8040119] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/14/2020] [Revised: 10/06/2020] [Accepted: 10/09/2020] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Oral appliances (OA), a common treatment modality for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), are not suitable for patients with nasal obstruction. Rhinomanometry, the gold standard technique to assess nasal airway resistance, is not readily available in sleep dentistry clinics. We demonstrate the use of a portable lightweight peak nasal inspiratory flow (PNIF) rate meter to objectively assess nasal airflow and utilized the Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation (NOSE) scale to subjectively assess nasal obstruction in 97 patients with OSA and 105 healthy controls. We examined the correlations between the following variables between the groups: demographics, body mass index, PNIF, NOSE scale scores, apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), minimum SpO2 (SpO2min), Mallampati classification, and Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) scores. Patients with OSA had significantly lower PNIF values and higher NOSE scores than controls. In the patient group, PNIF was not significantly correlated with AHI, SpO2min, Mallampati classification, or NOSE or ESS scores. Lower PNIF values and higher NOSE scores suggested impaired nasal airflow in the OSA group. As daytime PNIF measurement bears no relationship to AHI, this cannot be used alone in predicting the suitability of treatment for OSA with OA but can be used as an adjunct for making clinical decisions.
