Abstract
Increased arterial stiffness is independently associated with cardiovascular risk. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and sleep duration (SDUR) may contribute to increased arterial stiffness, but it is unclear whether this association is modulated by gender. We aimed to evaluate the potential impact of gender in modulating the association of OSA and SDUR with arterial stiffness. Participants from the ELSA-Brasil study performed sleep assessments with portable polygraph to define OSA severity and SDUR by 1-week wrist actigraphy. Pulse wave velocity (PWV) was measured using a standard technique without access to the sleep data. We studied 1863 participants (42.2% male, age: 49±8 years, respiratory disturbance index (RDI): 9.9 (4.5-19.4) events/h, SDUR: 6.5 (5.9-7.1) hours, mean PWV: 7.3 ± 1.2 m/s). We found that men had higher PWV, higher frequency of diabetes, and higher blood pressure when compared to women. The regression analysis showed an independent association between increased RDI and PWV in men (ß: 0.007; 95% CI: 0.001-0.012), but not in women. In contrast, an independent association between SDUR and increased arterial stiffness was observed only in women (ß: 0.068; 95% CI: 0.002-0.134). In conclusion, the association of sleep disorders with arterial stiffness showed a distinct gender pattern depending on the sleep variable studied.

Obstructive sleep apnea and hypertension-mediated organ damage in nonresistant and resistant hypertension. Hypertens Res 2023; 46:2033-2043. [PMID: 37264121 DOI: 10.1038/s41440-023-01320-z] [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: 09/21/2022] [Revised: 04/12/2023] [Accepted: 05/02/2023] [Indexed: 06/03/2023]
Abstract
The potential role of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in hypertension-mediated organ damage (HMOD) may be influenced by the presence of resistant hypertension (RH). Herein, we enrolled patients with hypertension from a tertiary center for clinical evaluation and performed a sleep study to identify OSA (apnea-hypopnea index ≥15 events/h) and a blinded analysis of four standard HMOD parameters (left ventricular hypertrophy [LVH], increased arterial stiffness [≥10 m/s], presence of retinopathy, and nephropathy). RH was diagnosed based on uncontrolled blood pressure (BP) (≥140/90 mmHg) despite concurrent use of at least three antihypertensive drug classes or controlled BP with concurrent use of ≥4 antihypertensive drug classes at optimal doses. To avoid the white-coat effect, ambulatory BP monitoring was performed to confirm RH diagnosis. One-hundred patients were included in the analysis (mean age: 54 ± 8 years, 65% females, body mass index: 30.4 ± 4.5 kg/m²). OSA was detected in 52% of patients. Among patients with non-RH (n = 53), the presence of OSA (52.8%) was not associated with an increased frequency of HMOD. Conversely, among patients with RH, OSA (51.1%) was associated with a higher incidence of LVH (RH-OSA,61%; RH + OSA,87%; p = 0.049). Logistic regression analysis using the total sample revealed that RH (OR:7.89; 95% CI:2.18-28.52; p = 0.002), systolic BP (OR:1.04; 95% CI:1.00-1.07; p = 0.042) and OSA (OR:4.31; 95% CI:1.14-16.34; p = 0.032) were independently associated with LVH. No significant association was observed between OSA and arterial stiffness, retinopathy, or nephropathy. In conclusion, OSA is independently associated with LVH in RH, suggesting a potential role of OSA in RH prognosis.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVES Respiratory sleep indices are traditionally reported on the basis of the average total sleep time. The relationship between the hour-to-hour variability of these parameters and blood pressure (BP) has not been reported. METHODS We evaluated the associations of the hour-to-hour variability of the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), oxygen desaturation index (ODI), and lowest oxygen saturation with the 24-h ambulatory BP in patients with hypertension and newly diagnosed obstructive sleep apnea. A total of 147 patients underwent polysomnography, based on which obstructive sleep apnea was diagnosed in 106 patients; these patients underwent 24-h ambulatory BP monitoring within the next 30 days. Each polysomnogram was divided into hourly reports to calculate the variability of the respiratory sleep indices. Variability independent of the mean was considered the primary measure of variability. RESULTS The median number of hourly polysomnogram reports was 7 (range, 4-8). The hour-to-hour variability of both AHI and ODI, but not of the lowest oxygen saturation, was correlated with the 24-h pulse pressure, 24-h systolic BP, and awake systolic BP (p < 0.05 for all). The fully adjusted linear regression analysis indicated that the hour-to-hour variability of AHI and ODI remained associated with the 24-h pulse pressure (AHI: β coefficient, 0.264 [95% CI = 0.033-0.495], p = 0.026; ODI: β coefficient, 0.450 [95% CI = 0.174-0.726], p = 0.002). CONCLUSIONS The hour-to-hour variability of AHI and ODI is independently associated with the 24-h pulse pressure. Further investigations are warranted to evaluate the clinical relevance of this new-found association.

Abstract
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) are common diseases that strongly impact the quality and length of life. Their coexistence is determined by overlap syndrome (OS). This systematic review aims to define the significance of these comorbidities according to the current state of knowledge. For this systematic review, we searched PubMed, Scopus, and Cochrane for studies published between 2018 and 26 October 2022, to find original, observational, human studies published in English, where the diagnosis of COPD was according to the Global Initiative for Obstructive Lung Disease guidelines and the diagnosis of OSA was based on polysomnography. The quality of studies was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa quality assessment tool for cohort and case-control studies, as well as its modification for cross-sectional studies. Of the 1548 records identified, 38 were eligible and included in this systematic review. The included studies covered a total population of 27,064 participants. This paper summarizes the most important, up-to-date information regarding OS, including the prevalence, meaning of age/gender/body mass index, polysomnography findings, pulmonary function, comorbidities, predicting OSA among COPD patients, and treatment of this syndrome.

Abstract
Introduction: The present study aimed to establish the role of lipid abnormalities and inflammatory markers for developing cardiovascular risk, as well as to address the importance of obesity as a common comorbidity in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Methods: The study was conducted as a prospective cohort study including 120 patients with newly diagnosed OSA between 2019 and 2020, at University Clinical Hospital Center “Bezanijska kosa”, Belgrade, Serbia. The diagnosis was established by polysomnography. In all patients, sociodemographic data, respiratory, lipid, and inflammatory parameters were collected and complete echocardiographic study and 24-h blood pressure monitoring were performed. Results: The mean patient age was 55.7 ± 13.8 years. Study population was mostly male (70.0%) and obese (56.7%). At least 30 apneas or hypopneas per hour were present in 39.0% of patients. A strong positive correlation was found between OSA severity and BMI (r = 0.562, p < 0.001), both associated with lipid, inflammatory and respiratory parameters, and cardiovascular profile of patients with OSA (p < 0.05 for all). Echocardiographic study and 24-h blood pressure monitoring parameters were in turn correlated with lipid and inflammatory markers (p < 0.05 for all). Conclusion: The results of this study support the important role of dyslipidemia and inflammation, as well as coexistence of obesity in the pathogenesis of numerous conditions linked with an increased risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in patients with OSA.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common sleep-related breathing disorder that is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease. The main interest of this clinical review is to discuss the cardiovascular consequences of OSA with a special focus on left ventricular (LV) function and structure, arterial stiffness and atrial fibrillation. AREA COVERED We present an overview of the definition, prevalence, and risk factors of OSA and outline the association between OSA and cardiovascular complications. We then briefly discuss echocardiographic assessment in OSA with focus on the left atrium and LV. Finally, we highlight the importance of adherence to continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy with regard to reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease. EXPERT COMMENTARY Although OSA has a strong association with cardiovascular complications, it is often underdiagnosed and undertreated. Patients with resistant hypertension and atrial fibrillation with poor therapeutic success after cardioversion or catheter ablation should be more often screened for OSA. Patients with nocturnal adverse cardiovascular events (stroke, arrhythmias, angina, coronary events) should be closely assessed with regard to OSA, and if confirmed, timely treated by lifestyle modification, CPAP, and aggressive antihypertensive treatment. Adherence to CPAP in OSA patients is essential in terms of reducing the risk of cardiovascular events.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate arterial stiffness, a predictor of vascular damage was assessed by means of pulse wave velocity (PWV) in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and comorbid obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), namely overlap syndrome (OS). METHODS Consecutive stable patients with COPD were evaluated for OSA by means of overnight polysomnography in the laboratory. A clinical assessment was performed according to a strict protocol, including two COPD questionnaires: the COPD assessment test and the modified Medical Research Council scale. COPD severity was graded according to the guidelines of the Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease. Arterial stiffness was assessed by means of PWV, using a standard technique. RESULTS Of 102 patients with COPD, 51 had associated OSA. The OS group had more men than the COPD group (73% vs. 47%, respectively; p < 0.01). Both groups had similar ages (66.2 ± 9.2 years vs. 69.6 ± 10.7, p = 0.09) and airflow limitation (p = 0.37). Hypertension was found in 22% of COPD patients, as opposed to 17% patients in the OS group (p = 0.29). High PWV values were present in 42% of the patients. Patients with COPD and OS had the same PWV values (9.8 vs. 10.5 m/s, p = 0.34). There were no differences in central blood pressure, peripheral blood pressure, and augmentation index between the two groups (p > 0.05). CONCLUSION High PWV values were frequently observed in patients with COPD. However, there was no difference in PWV between patients with OS and those with COPD alone.

Abstract
The impact of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) on arterial stiffness is less studied. We aimed to investigate the prevalence and covariates of increased pulse pressure (PP), a surrogate marker of arterial stiffness, in the entire study population as well as in separate analyses in normotensive and hypertensive patients. Further, we also explored the impact of smoking on brachial BP in hypertensive patients. Between 2012 and 2019, a total of 6408 participants with suspected OSA underwent a standard out-of-center respiratory polygraphy. OSA was defined by an apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) ≥15/h regardless of symptoms. PP ≥60 mmHg was used as a surrogate marker of increased arterial stiffness. Mean age was 49.3±13.7 years, 69.4% were male, and 34.5% had OSA. The prevalence of hypertension was 70.8% in OSA and 46.7% in No-OSA (AHI < 15/h) controls (P < .0001). Hypertension was controlled (clinic BP < 140/90 mmHg) in 45.5% and uncontrolled in 54.5% (P < .001). Mean PP was 50±12 mmHg in smokers and 52±12 mmHg in non-smokers (P = .001). Increased PP was found in 24.2% of the entire study population and was higher in patients with OSA compared to No-OSA group (27.5% vs 22.4%, P < .0001). In an unadjusted logistic regression model, OSA was associated with a 1.3-fold higher risk of having increased PP (95% CI 1.16-1.48, P < .001). In a multivariable-adjusted model, higher age, male sex, and history of hypertension, but not OSA (OR 0.89; 95% CI 0.77-1.02, P = .104) were associated with increased PP. In this large study of nearly 6500 participants who were referred with suspected OSA, one-third were diagnosed with OSA and a quarter had increased arterial stiffness by elevated brachial PP. Hypertension but not OSA per se was associated with increased arterial stiffness. Hypertension was highly prevalent and poorly controlled.

Effect of Maternal Obstructive Sleep Apnea-Hypopnea on 24-Hour Blood Pressure, Nocturnal Blood Pressure Dipping and Arterial Stiffness in Hypertensive Disorders of Pregnancy. Front Physiol 2021; 12:747106. [PMID: 34733178 PMCID: PMC8558510 DOI: 10.3389/fphys.2021.747106] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/25/2021] [Accepted: 09/21/2021] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Rationale: Maternal obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea (OSAH) is associated with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP). Attenuation of the normal nocturnal blood pressure (BP) decline (non-dipping) is associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes. OSAH is associated with nocturnal non-dipping in the general population, but this has not been studied in pregnancy. We therefore analyzed baseline data from an ongoing RCT (NCT03309826) assessing the impact of OSAH treatment on HDP outcomes, to evaluate the relationship of OSAH to 24-h BP profile, in particular nocturnal BP dipping, and measures of arterial stiffness. Methods: Women with a singleton pregnancy and HDP underwent level II polysomnography. Patients with OSAH (apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) ≥ 5 events/h) then underwent 24-h ambulatory BP monitoring and arterial stiffness measurements (applanation tonometry, SphygmoCor). Positive dipping was defined as nocturnal systolic blood pressure (SBP) dip ≥ 10%. The relationships between measures of OSAH severity, measures of BP and arterial stiffness were evaluated using linear regression analyses. Results: We studied 51 HDP participants (36.5 ± 4.9 years, BMI 36.9 ± 8.6 kg/m2) with OSAH with mean AHI 27.7 ± 26.4 events/h at 25.0 ± 4.9 weeks’ gestation. We found no significant relationships between AHI or other OSA severity measures and mean 24-h BP values, although BP was generally well-controlled. Most women were SBP non-dippers (78.4%). AHI showed a significant inverse correlation with % SBP dipping following adjustment for age, BMI, parity, gestational age, and BP medications (β = −0.11, p = 0.02). Significant inverse correlations were also observed between AHI and DBP (β = −0.16, p = 0.01) and MAP (β = −0.13, p = 0.02) % dipping. Oxygen desaturation index and sleep time below SaO2 90% were also inversely correlated with % dipping. Moreover, a significant positive correlation was observed between carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV) and REM AHI (β = 0.02, p = 0.04) in unadjusted but not adjusted analysis. Conclusion: Blood pressure non-dipping was observed in a majority of women with HDP and OSAH. There were significant inverse relationships between OSAH severity measures and nocturnal % dipping. Increased arterial stiffness was associated with increasing severity of OSAH during REM sleep in unadjusted although not adjusted analysis. These findings suggest that OSAH may represent a therapeutic target to improve BP profile and vascular risk in HDP.

Arterial Stiffness Assessment Using the Arteriograph in Patients with Moderate-Severe OSA and Metabolic Syndrome-A Pilot Study. J Clin Med 2021; 10:jcm10184238. [PMID: 34575349 PMCID: PMC8471747 DOI: 10.3390/jcm10184238] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/20/2021] [Revised: 09/16/2021] [Accepted: 09/16/2021] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Both obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and metabolic syndrome (MS) promote arterial stiffening. As a basis for this study, we presumed that arterial stiffness could be assessed using the Arteriograph (TensioMed, Budapest, Hungary) to detect early modifications induced by continuous positive airway therapy (CPAP) in reversing this detrimental vascular remodeling. Arterial stiffness is increasingly acknowledged as a major cardiovascular risk factor and a marker of subclinical hypertension-mediated organ damage. The aim of this pilot study was to evaluate the arterial stiffness changes in patients with moderate-severe OSA and MS after short-term CPAP use. METHODS We performed a prospective study that included patients with moderate-severe OSA and MS who had not undergone previous CPAP therapy. All subjects underwent clinical examination and arterial stiffness assessment using the oscillometric technique with Arteriograph (TensioMed, Budapest, Hungary) detection before and after 8-week CPAP therapy. RESULTS 39 patients with moderate-severe OSA were included. Eight weeks of CPAP therapy significantly improved central systolic blood pressure (Δ = -11.4 mmHg, p = 0.009), aortic pulse wave velocity (aoPWV: Δ = -0.66 m/s, p = 0.03), and aortic augmentation index (aoAix: Δ = -8.25%, p = 0.01) only in patients who used the device for a minimum of 4 h/night (n = 20). CONCLUSIONS Arterial stiffness was improved only among CPAP adherent patients and could be detected using the Arteriograph (TensioMed, Budapest, Hungary), which involves a noninvasive procedure that is easy to implement for the clinical evaluation of arterial stiffness.

Abstract
Obstructive Sleep Apnea and the related intermittent hypoxia (IH) are widely recognised as risk factors for incident cardiovascular diseases. Numerous studies support the deleterious vascular impact of IH in rodents but an overall interpretation is challenging owing to heterogeneity in rodent species investigated and the severity and duration of IH exposure.To clarify this major issue, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to quantify the impact of IH on systemic artery structure and function depending on the different IH exposure designs.We searched PubMed, Embase and Web of Sciences and included 125 articles in a meta-analysis, among them 112 using wild-type rodents and 13 using Apolipoprotein E knock-out mice. We used the standardised mean difference (SMD) to compare results between studies.IH significantly increased mean arterial pressure (+13.90 mmHg (95% CI [11.88; 15.92]), systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Meta-regressions showed that mean arterial pressure change was associated with strain and year of publication. IH altered vasodilation in males but not in females, and increased endothelin-1-induced, but not phenylephrine-induced, vasoconstriction. Intima-media thickness significantly increased upon IH exposure (SMD 1.10 [0.58; 1.62], absolute values: +5.23 (2.81-7.84)). This increase was observed in mice but not in rats, and was negatively associated with age. Finally IH increased atherosclerotic plaque size in ApoE-/- mice (SMD 1.08 [0.80; 1.37]).To conclude, our meta-analysis established that IH, independently of other confounders, has a strong effect on vascular structure and physiology. Our findings support the interest of identifying and treating sleep apnea in routine cardiology practice.

Abstract
Arterial stiffness has been associated with cardiovascular events and correlated with cardiovascular risk factors. In the new guidelines of the European Society of Hypertension, the evaluation of arterial stiffness, and specifically carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (c-f PWV), was taken into account for the detailed screening of the hypertensive population. Despite the importance of arterial stiffness as a target organ damage, the measurement is time-consuming, not practical, needs expensive equipment and experienced staff. For all these reasons, c-f PWV is not recommended for the everyday clinical practice and its current use is restricted for research purposes. The importance of arterial properties in clinical practice and cardiovascular prevention is well known. Hence, the estimation of arterial stiffness and vascular health based on parameters that affect arterial stiffness, but without the use of a machine, is a new promising field. Furthermore, the relationship between age-related MRI abnormalities as well as ultrafast ultrasound with vascular effect gives a new promise for future vascular aging assessment.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVES Whether the association between sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) is independent of comorbid risk factors for CVD is controversial. The objective of this study is to elucidate whether the association between SDB severity and the surrogate markers of CVD evets differs in relation to the number of comorbidities. METHODS This cross-sectional study included 7731 participants. Severity of SDB was determined by the oxygen desaturation index adjusted by actigraph-measured objective sleep time. Participants were stratified according to SDB severity and the number of comorbidities (hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia and obesity), and the associations between the maximum value of intima-media thickness of the common carotid artery (CCA-IMT-max), brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) and cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) were evaluated. RESULTS Among participants with no risk factor, CCA-IMT-max increased according to SDB severity (n = 1022, P <0.0001). Even after the matching of background, the median CCA-IMT-max value was 14% higher in moderate-severe SDB cases than those without SDB (n=45 in each group, P=0.020). The difference was not significant for baPWV and CAVI. On the other hand, a significant difference in CCA-IMT-max was not found in those with multiple comorbidities. Consistently, multiple regression analysis revealed an independent association between CCA-IMT-max and moderate-severe SDB for all study participants (β: 0.0222 (95% confidence interval: 0.0039-0.0405), P=0.017), but the association was not significant for stratified participants with multiple comorbidities. CONCLUSIONS SDB severity is associated with the CCA-IMT-max level, but the independent association becomes weaker for those with multiple comorbidities.

Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is known to be an independent cardiovascular risk factor. Among arousal from sleep, increased thoracic pressure and enhanced sympathetic activation, intermittent hypoxia is now considered as one of the most important pathophysiological mechanisms contributing to the development of endothelial dysfunction. Nevertheless, not much is known about blood components, which justifies the current review. This review focuses on molecular mechanisms triggered by sleep apnea. The recurrent periods of hypoxemia followed by reoxygenation promote reactive oxygen species (ROS) overproduction and increase inflammatory response. In this review paper we also intend to summarize the effect of treatment with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) on changes in the profile of the endothelial function and its subsequent potential clinical advantage in lowering cardiovascular risk in other comorbidities such as diabetes, atherosclerosis, hypertension, atrial fibrillation. Moreover, this paper is aimed at explaining how the presence of OSA may affect platelet function and exert effects on rheological activity of erythrocytes, which could also be the key to explaining an increased risk of stroke.

Abstract
Well-defined large-volume polysomnographic (PSG) data can identify subgroups and predict outcomes of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). However, current PSG data are scattered across numerous sleep laboratories and have different formats in the electronic health record (EHR). Hence, this study aimed to convert EHR PSG into a standardized data format-the Observational Medical Outcome Partnership (OMOP) common data model (CDM). We extracted the PSG data of a university hospital for the period from 2004 to 2019. We designed and implemented an extract-transform-load (ETL) process to transform PSG data into the OMOP CDM format and verified the data quality through expert evaluation. We converted the data of 11,797 sleep studies into CDM and added 632,841 measurements and 9,535 observations to the existing CDM database. Among 86 PSG parameters, 20 were mapped to CDM standard vocabulary and 66 could not be mapped; thus, new custom standard concepts were created. We validated the conversion and usefulness of PSG data through patient-level prediction analyses for the CDM data. We believe that this study represents the first CDM conversion of PSG. In the future, CDM transformation will enable network research in sleep medicine and will contribute to presenting more relevant clinical evidence.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To analyze the differences of early atherosclerosis indices in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients with different degrees of obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) and explore the correlation between them, so as to provide a new clinical basis for the prevention and treatment of early atherosclerosis in patients with T2DM and OSAHS. Methods. A prospective study was conducted in 312 patients with T2DM and snoring who were hospitalized in the Department of Endocrinology, Peking University International Hospital from January 2017 to January 2020. According to the monitoring results, 312 patients were divided into 4 groups including the control group (208 cases), mild OSAHS group (18 cases), moderate OSAHS group (38 cases), and severe OSAHS group (48 cases). Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the early atherosclerosis indices including brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (PWV) and ankle-brachial index (ABI) in patients with T2DM coexistence with different degrees of OSAHS. Results. (1) As the degree of OSAHS increased, ABI decreased gradually and was lower than that in the control group, but PWV increased and was higher than that in the control group (p < 0.05, respectively). (2) The apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) positively correlated with PWV (r = 0.36, p < 0.05) and negatively correlated with ABI (r = -0.37, p < 0.05). (3) Multivariate logistic regression showed that after adjusting for age, gender, duration, BMI, blood pressure, blood glucose, blood lipid, and other factors, OSAHS was a risk factor of lower extremity arterial disease (LEAD) in patients with T2DM. With the increase of degree of OSAHS, the risk of lower extremity atherosclerosis gradually increased. Conclusion. OSAHS is an independent risk factor of LEAD in patients with T2DM, and with the increase of AHI, the ABI and PWV have changed, which provides a new clinical basis for the prevention and the treatment of early atherosclerosis in patients with T2DM and OSAHS.

Abstract
Subclinical abnormalities in cardiac and vascular structure reflect the adverse effects triggered by a variety of risk factors on the cardiovascular (CV) system thereby representing an intermediate step in the cardiovascular continuum; such alterations are recognized as reliable markers of increased cardiovascular risk in different clinical settings including obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The mechanisms underlying subclinical organ damage (OD) in the OSA setting are multifactorial. Hypoxemia and hypercapnia, induced by repeated collapses of upper airways, have been suggested to trigger a cascade of events such as activation of the sympathetic tone, renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system leading to endothelial dysfunction, vasoconstriction, myocardial and vascular remodeling, and hypertension. Furthermore, coexisting non-haemodynamic alterations such as increased oxidative stress, release of inflammatory substances, enhanced lipolysis and insulin resistance have been reported to play a role in the pathogenesis of both cardiac and extra-cardiac OD. In this article we reviewed available evidence on the association between OSA and subclinical cardiac (i.e., left and right ventricular hypertrophy, left atrial dilatation) and extra-cardiac organ damage (i.e., carotid atherosclerosis, arterial stiffness, microvascular retinal changes, and microalbuminuria). This association is apparently stronger for cardiac and carotid subclinical damage than for other markers (i.e., arterial stiffness and retinal changes) and mostly evident in the setting of severe OSA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to investigate the association between neck-to-height ratio (NHR) and arterial stiffness in adults from a community-based Chinese cohort in a cross-sectional study. METHODS We conducted cross-sectional analysis using data from the Kailuan study, a population-based cohort research. Altogether, 18 972 individuals were included in the analysis. Brachial ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV), anthropometric indexes and cardiovascular risk factors were recorded. Data were analyzed by multiple lineal regression model. RESULTS NHR was positively associated with baPWV after adjusted for age, sex, blood pressure, heart rate, BMI, waist-hip ratio, current smoking, fasting blood glucose, serum cholesterol, uric acid, high-sensitivity C reactive protein and creatinine clearance (β = 5.76, P < 0.001), while the association of neck circumference and baPWV was NS after adjusting the variables mentioned above. In subgroups analysis, the association between NHR and baPWV did not reach statistical significance in female, while in males, the association was significant. Interaction effects were observed among BMI stratifications and the individuals with metabolic syndrome and history of cardiovascular events (P for intereaction = 0.002, 0.038 and 0.003, respectively). CONCLUSION The current study demonstrated for the first time that NHR was positively associated with baPWV in community-based population, NHR might be a promising independent predictor for cardiovascular disease.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized trials investigating the effect of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) on non-invasive markers of arterial stiffness in patients with OSA. METHODS The purpose of the study was to evaluate the effect of CPAP on markers of arterial stiffness (pulse wave velocity (PWV) and augmentation index (Aix)) in patients with OSA. The study adhered to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. We systematically reviewed MEDLINE, EMBASE, CENTRAL/CCTR, SciELO, and LILACS databases for randomized trials (RT) evaluating the changes in markers of arterial stiffness (pulse wave velocity (PWV) and augmentation index (Aix) comparing CPAP vs. controls in patients with OSA. Reviewer Manager version 5.3 (R Foundation for Statistical Computing, Vienna, Austria) was used to perform meta-analysis. Risk of bias analysis was performed using the Cochrane tool. RESULTS Of the 464 studies initially retrieved, 9 relevant studies with 685 participants were included in the analysis. The studies presented moderate risk of bias. CPAP did not significantly reduce Aix (mean difference, - 1.96 (95% confidence interval (CI) - 5.25 to 1.33), p = 0.24), whereas it significantly changed PWV (mean difference, - 0.44 (95% confidence interval (CI) - 0.76 to - 0.12), p = 0.00). CONCLUSION CPAP treatment was effective in improving arterial stiffness by reducing PWV in patients with OSA. Additional randomized trials, however, should be performed to confirm these findings.

Long-term variations of arterial stiffness in patients with obesity and obstructive sleep apnea treated with continuous positive airway pressure. PLoS One 2020; 15:e0236667. [PMID: 32756570 PMCID: PMC7406029 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0236667] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/26/2020] [Accepted: 07/10/2020] [Indexed: 12/23/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with cardiovascular co-morbidities and mortality. Arterial stiffness is an independent predictor of cardiovascular risk and mortality, and is influenced by the presence of OSA and related comorbidities. There is a paucity of data regarding long-term evolution of arterial stiffness in CPAP-treated OSA patients. We aimed to prospectively study long term PWV variations and determinants of PWV deterioration. METHODS In a prospective obese OSA cohort, at time of diagnosis and after several years of follow-up we collected arterial stiffness measured by carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (PWV), clinical and metabolic parameters, and CPAP adherence. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed in order to determine contributing factors. RESULTS Seventy two OSA patients (men: 52.8%, median age: 55.8 years and median BMI of 38.5 kg/m2) with a prevalence of hypertension: 58.3%, type 2 diabetes: 20.8%, hypercholesterolemia: 33.3%, current or past smoking: 59.7%, were evaluated after a median follow-up of 7.4 [5.8; 8.3] years. Over the period of follow-up, the median increase in PWV was 1.34 [0.10; 2.37] m/s. In multivariate analysis, the increase in PWV was associated with older age (10 extra years was associated with a 5.24 [1.35; 9.12] % increase in PWV) and hypertension (a significant increase in PWV of 8.24 [1.02; 15.57] %). No impact of CPAP adherence on PWV evolution was found. CONCLUSION PWV progression in CPAP-treated OSA patients is mainly related to pre-existing cardio-metabolic comorbidities and not influenced by CPAP adherence. In this high cardiovascular risk population, it is crucial to associated weight management and exercise with CPAP treatment.

Abstract
We performed an individual patient data meta-analysis to investigate the association between obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) severity and the reactive hyperaemia index (RHI) measured by peripheral arterial tonometry (PAT), a validated measurement of endothelial function, and a strong predictor of late cardiovascular (CV) events. Patients from 12 studies underwent PAT and overnight polysomnography or respiratory polygraphy for suspected OSA. Endothelial dysfunction was defined by a log-transformed RHI<0.51. Subgroup analyses were performed to investigate this relationship in specific populations. Among 730 patients without overt CV disease, 387 (53.0%) had severe OSA (apnoea-hypopnea index ≥30) and 164 (22.5%) exhibited endothelial dysfunction. After adjustment for age, gender, diastolic blood pressure, obesity, diabetes and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, endothelial dysfunction was associated with severe OSA (odds ratio, OR [95% confidence interval]: 2.27 [1.12-4.60]; p = 0.02), and nocturnal hypoxemia defined by >20 min with oxygen saturation <90% (OR: 1.83 [1.22-2.92]; p = 0.004) or mean oxygen saturation <92% (OR: 1.52 [1.17-1.96]; p = 0.002). On subgroup analyses, the association between severe OSA and endothelial dysfunction was not significant in patients with hypertension, obesity and/or diabetes. Among adults without overt CV disease, severe OSA is independently associated with an increased risk of endothelial dysfunction that may predispose to late CV events.
