Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardiometabolic multimorbidity (CMM) is a growing global health problem, and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is recognized as an important risk factor for cardiovascular disease. However, the impact of OSA on the prognosis of CMM patients remains unclear. METHODS This study was a sub-study of OSA-acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and included 1, 927 hospitalized ACS patients. Patients were divided into the CMM group and the non-CMM group. OSA was diagnosed using the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI). The primary endpoint was major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE). The secondary endpoint included cardiac events, all-cause death and all repeat revascularizations. RESULTS This study enrolled 1, 927 patients hospitalized for ACS, with a median follow-up of 3 years. Among them, 723 patients (37.5%) had CMM, while 1, 204 patients (62.5%) did not have CMM. Over half of the patients in each group had OSA. OSA patients exhibited worse cardiometabolic profiles than their non-OSA counterparts, including higher body mass index (BMI), glycemic indices, lipids and inflammation. In the CMM group, OSA patients had a significantly higher incidence of MACCE than non-OSA patients (34.7% vs. 23.7%, p = 0.004). These results remained significant after adjustment, indicating that OSA substantially increased the risk of MACCE in the CMM group (adjusted hazard ratio [HR]: 1.432; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.017-2.016; p = 0.040). Conversely, the incidence of MACCE was similar between OSA and non-OSA subgroups within the non-CMM cohort. Subgroup analyses showed that OSA increased the risk of MACCE in CMM patients aged ≥ 60 years (adjusted HR: 1.642; 95% CI: 1.031-2.615; p = 0.037) and in those with specific clinical characteristics. CONCLUSION OSA significantly impacts the prognosis of CMM patients, highlighting the need for targeted OSA screening and management strategies to improve outcomes in this population potentially.

Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a disease with intermittent hypoxemia during sleep. It has been shown that OSA is related to several cardiovascular diseases including heart failure. Both OSA and heart failure have a close association bidirectionally. This study aimed to estimate the pooled prevalence of OSA in patients with heart failure as well as pooled prevalence of heart failure in patients with OSA. This was a systematic review with a meta-analysis. The inclusion criteria were observational or epidemiological studies conducted in adult patients with heart failure to evaluate the prevalence of OSA and patients with OSA to evaluate the prevalence of heart failure. The outcomes of this study were prevalence of OSA in patients with heart failure and prevalence of heart failure in patients with OSA. Four databases were used for systematic searching including PubMed, Science Direct, Scopus, and CINAHL Plus. Manual searches for related studies were also conducted. Proportion meta-analyses using a random-effects model were conducted to identify pooled proportion (prevalence) of heart failure in patients with OSA and vice versa. Among 3,941 articles from the four databases met the study criteria. Thirty-three studies showed the prevalence of OSA in patients with heart failure, while thirteen studies presented the prevalence of heart failure in patients with OSA. The prevalence of OSA in patients with heart failure was 38.4% (95% CI 31.9 to 45.2; I2 of 96.1%). Using a diagnostic criterion of OSA of more than 10 events/hr had the highest prevalence of OSA in patients with heart failure at 53.4% (95% CI 42.0 to 64.5). The highest prevalence of OSA in patients with heart failure was 60.1% (95% CI 51.4 to 68.3) in a report from India. The pooled prevalence of heart failure in patients with OSA was 12.8% (95% CI 8.1 to 19.5; I2 of 94.6%). The prevalence in Romania was highest at 22.6% (95% CI 20.4 to 24.9). The pooled prevalence of OSA in patients with heart failure was higher than the pooled prevalence of heart failure in patients with OSA. The pooled prevalence rates of these associations varied among the diagnostic criteria of OSA and countries.

Abstract
Objective To determine the clinical-epidemiological characteristics, diagnostic feasibility of home respiratory polygraphy and treatment of patients with suspected obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) at cardiovascular risk. Methods An observational, cross-sectional, descriptive study was conducted in patients seen in a cardiology outpatient service with suspected OSA, from January 2015 to December 2019. The information was obtained from medical records, and a descriptive statistical analysis was applied to this information. Results 138 files were reviewed; only 8% of the home respiratory polygraphs were discarded, because they did not meet the required quality standards. It was demonstrated that 89% suffered from OSA, 60% moderate to severe; in men after 50 years of age. The main cardiovascular risk factors was hypertension (89%). The most prevalent heart disease was hypertension (52%). Cardiovascular pharmacological treatment was improved in 82% of the cases. Cardiac rehabilitation in 30%, noninvasive mechanical ventilation 41%, fixed modality 33%, and self-adjustable 9%, all with telemetry. Conclusions The prevalence and severity of OSA is higher in the presence of risk or established cardiovascular disease. In the presence of clinical suspicion, it is feasible to confirm the diagnosis with home respiratory poligrafy due to the level of precision and the lower infrastructure required. Greater involvement of the cardiologist in the diagnosis and treatment of this disorder is necessary due to the significant risk of cardiovascular disease it represents.

Prognostic implications of obstructive sleep apnea in patients with acute coronary syndrome stratified by homocysteine level: a prospective cohort study. Respir Res 2023; 24:313.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sporadic studies have examined the impact of OSA on ACS patients by homocysteine (Hcy) level. This study attempted to comprehensively evaluate the effects of the interaction between Hcy and OSA on long-term cardiovascular outcomes in ACS patients. METHODS In this prospective, large-scale cohort study, 2160 patients admitted for ACS were recruited to undergo overnight sleep monitoring. OSA was diagnosed when apnea-hypopnea index ≥ 15 events/h. Patients with normohomocysteinemia (NHcy) were defined as having serum Hcy ≤ 15 μmol/L, and the others had hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy). The primary endpoint was major adverse cerebrocardiovascular event (MACCE), a composite of cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, stroke, ischemia-driven revascularization and hospitalization for unstable angina and heart failure. RESULTS A total of 1553 eligible ACS patients (average age: 56.3 ± 10.5 years) were enrolled, among which 819 (52.7%) had OSA, and 988 (63.6%) were with NHcy. OSA did not significantly affect the level of Hcy. During a median follow-up of 2.9 (1.6, 3.5) years, after adjustment for clinical confounders, OSA was associated with increased risk for MACCE occurrence versus non-OSA ones in ACS patients with NHcy (adjusted hazard ratio [HR] = 1.36, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.02-1.83, P = 0.039), but not in those with HHcy (adjusted HR = 0.92, 95%CI 0.62-1.36, P = 0.668). There was an absence of interaction between homocysteine level and OSA in relation to MACCE (interaction P = 0.106). CONCLUSIONS OSA was independently associated with worse prognosis in ACS patients with NHcy. Our study emphasized the necessity to identify potential presence of OSA in such a population.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The prognostic significance of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) according to prior myocardial infarction (MI) remains unclear. We aimed to investigate the association between OSA and long-term cardiovascular outcomes in ACS patients with or without prior MI. METHODS We prospectively recruited eligible 2160 ACS patients with portable sleep monitoring in Beijing Anzhen Hospital between June 2015 and January 2020. OSA was defined as an apnea hypopnea index (AHI) ≥15 events/hour. The primary endpoint was major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular event (MACCE), including cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, stroke, ischemia-driven revascularization, or hospitalization for unstable angina or heart failure. RESULTS Among 1927 patients enrolled, 1014 (52.6%) had OSA and 316 (16.4%) had prior MI. During 2.9 (1.5, 3.6) years of follow-up, multivariate analysis showed that OSA was associated with 1.7 times the risk of MACCE in patients with prior MI (50 events [28.2%] vs 24 events [17.3%]; adjusted HR = 1.74, 95%CI 1.04-2.90, P = 0.034), but not in patients without prior MI group (177 events [21.1%] vs 138 events [17.8%]; adjusted HR = 1.19, 95%CI 0.94-1.51, P = 0.15). There was no significant interaction between prior MI and OSA for MACCE (interaction P = 0.14). CONCLUSIONS OSA was independently associated with an increased risk of MACCE among ACS patients, particularly among ACS patients with prior MI. Further trials exploring the efficacy of OSA treatment in high-risk patients with ACS characterized by prior MI are warranted.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS The association of comorbidities on the prognosis of patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) was well documented. However, the impact of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) on this association has been less studied. METHODS AND RESULTS Between June 2015 to Jan 2020, we included consecutively eligible patients with ACS who underwent cardiorespiratory polygraphy. The definition of OSA was apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) ≥15 events/hour. Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) was used to evaluate the comorbidities. The primary endpoint was major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE), including cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, stroke, ischemia-driven revascularization, and hospitalization for unstable angina or heart failure. In the 1927 ACS patients, 1014 (52.6%) had OSA. The prevalence of the mild (CCI = 0), moderate (CCI = 1-2), and severe (CCI≥3) comorbidity were 23.6%, 65.9%, and 10.5%, respectively. During a median follow-up of 2.9 (1.5, 3.6) years, compared with patients without OSA, the presence of OSA increased the risk of MACCE in the moderate comorbidity group (22.6% vs. 17.5%; adjusted HR: 1.327; 95% CI: 1.019-1.728, p = 0.036) and severe comorbidity group (36.2% vs. 18.6%; adjusted HR: 2.194; 95% CI: 1.170-4.117, p = 0.014). There was no significant difference between OSA and non-OSA patients in the mild comorbidity group. CONCLUSION Among ACS patients, OSA was associated with an increased risk of subsequent events in the moderate and severe comorbidity groups but not in the mild comorbidity group. ACS patients with comorbidities should not be overlooked for OSA screening.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sleep bruxism (SB) and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) are two sleep-related conditions that have been associated with significantly conflicting results in literature. Understanding the prevalence of bruxism among OSA patients is crucial for identifying possible comorbidities and optimising treatment strategies. OBJECTIVE This systematic review aimed at analysing the prevalence of SB in OSAS sufferers and understanding the association between the two. METHODS Five online databases were searched for relevant articles in accordance with the PRISMA guidelines for conduction of systematic reviews. Studies reporting the prevalence of bruxism in OSAS patients and diagnosed through clinical assessments or polysomnography were included. Data extraction and quality assessment were performed independently by two reviewers. Methodological quality of the included studies was assessed using Risk of Bias In Non-randomised Studies of Interventions (ROBINS-I). RESULTS A thorough search of literature yielded only two studies were eligible for this review. SB was found to be significantly present in the OSAS group. Despite methodological variations, the majority of studies reported higher rates of bruxism in OSAS patients compared to the general population or control groups. CONCLUSION The results of this systematic review point to a significant association between bruxism and obstructive sleep apnea. Further research is required to determine a more precise prevalence rate and investigate the potential therapeutic implications of the bruxism-OSAS association that uses a standardised assessment techniques and larger sample sizes.

Abstract
The clinical outcome of obstructive sleep apnea in patients with acute coronary syndrome in relation to hyperuricemia is still unclear. We aimed to explore the clinical prognosis of obstructive sleep apnea in patients with acute coronary syndrome in relation to hyperuricemia status. This was a prospective cohort study. We included consecutively eligible patients with acute coronary syndrome who underwent cardiorespiratory polygraphy between June 2015 and January 2020. According to apnea-hypopnea index ≥ 15 events per hr and serum uric acid level, the population was divided into four groups: hyperuricemia with obstructive sleep apnea; hyperuricemia with non-obstructive sleep apnea; no hyperuricemia with obstructive sleep apnea; and no hyperuricemia with non-obstructive sleep apnea. The primary endpoint was major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events, including cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, stroke, ischaemia-driven revascularization, and readmission for unstable angina or heart failure. Spearman correlation analysis and Cox regression model were mainly used to estimate the data. The median follow-up was 2.9 years. Among 1925 patients with acute coronary syndrome, 29.6% had hyperuricemia and 52.6% had obstructive sleep apnea. Uric acid was negatively correlated with minimum arterial oxygen saturation and mean arterial oxygen saturation, and positively correlated with apnea-hypopnea index, oxygen desaturation index and the duration of time with arterial oxygen saturation < 90% (p < 0.001). During 2.9 (1.5, 3.6) years of follow-up, obstructive sleep apnea was associated with an increased risk of major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events in patients with hyperuricemia (23.5% versus 13.4%; adjusted hazard ratio: 1.834; 95% confidence interval: 1.192-2.821, p = 0.006), but not in patients without hyperuricemia (21.9% versus 19.2%; adjusted hazard ratio: 1.131; 95% confidence interval: 0.880-1.453, p = 0.336). There was a correlation between uric acid levels and sleep respiratory indicators. Obstructive sleep apnea was associated with increased risk of major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events in patients with acute coronary syndrome with hyperuricemia, but not in patients without hyperuricemia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The effects of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) on the prognosis of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) without revascularization remain unclear, so the aim of the present study was to elucidate the association of OSA with subsequent cardiovascular events in ACS patients with and without revascularization. METHODS AND RESULTS We prospectively recruited hospitalized ACS patients undergoing sleep monitoring between June 2015 and January 2020. OSA was defined as an apnea-hypopnea index ≥15 events/h. The primary endpoint was a major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular event (MACCE), including cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, stroke, ischemia-driven revascularization, or hospitalization for unstable angina or heart failure. Among 1,927 patients, 52.6% had OSA and 69.4% underwent revascularization. During a 2.9-year follow-up (1.5-3.6 years), the risk of MACCE was similar in patients with or without revascularization. OSA was an independent predictor of MACCE in the non-revascularization group (22.6% vs. 14.6%; hazard ratio (HR) 1.861; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.239-2.796; P=0.003) but not in revascularization group (22.3% vs. 19.3%; HR 1.135; 95% CI 0.882-1.460; P=0.324). The incremental risk in the non-revascularization group was attributable to more hospitalizations for unstable angina (14.2% vs. 8.6%; HR 1.896; 95% CI 1.124-3.199; P=0.016). CONCLUSIONS For patients with ACS, OSA was independently associated with higher risk of recurrent cardiovascular events among patients without revascularization but not among patients undergoing revascularization. The benefits of suitable OSA treatment for patients without revascularization need further investigation.

Sex-Specific Associations of Obstructive Sleep Apnea Risk With Patient Characteristics and Functional Outcomes After Acute Myocardial Infarction: Evidence From the VIRGO Study.

Abstract
Background Though associations between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and cardiovascular outcomes are well described, limited data exist regarding the impact of OSA on sex-specific outcomes after acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Methods and Results The VIRGO (Variation in Recovery: Role of Gender on Outcomes of Young AMI Patients) study enrolled 3572 adults aged 18 to 55 years with AMI from the United States and Spain during 2008 to 2012. We included patients for whom the Berlin Questionnaire for OSA was scored at the time of AMI admission (3141; 2105 women, 1036 men). We examined the sex-specific association between baseline OSA risk with functional outcomes including health status and depressive symptoms at 1 and 12 months after AMI. Among both groups, 49% of patients were at high risk for OSA (1040 women; 509 men), but only 4.7% (148) of patients had a diagnosed history of OSA. Though patients with a high OSA risk reported worse physical and mental health status and depression than low-risk patients in both sexes, the difference in these functional outcomes was wider in women than men. Moreover, women with a high OSA risk had worse health status, depression, and quality of life than high-risk men, both at baseline and at 1 and 12 months after AMI. Conclusions Young women with a high OSA risk have poorer health status and more depressive symptoms than men at the time of AMI, which may place them at higher risk of poorer health outcomes over the year following the AMI. Further, the majority of patients at high risk of OSA are undiagnosed at the time of presentation of AMI.

Outcomes in Patients with Acute Myocardial Infarction and Known Sleep Apnea: A Nationwide Analysis. J Clin Med 2023; 12:5924. [PMID: 37762864 PMCID: PMC10532263 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12185924] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/17/2023] [Revised: 09/01/2023] [Accepted: 09/07/2023] [Indexed: 09/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Background. Sleep apnea (SA) is a common breathing disorder characterized by repetitive upper airway narrowing and closure. Although SA has been demonstrated to be an independent risk factor for all-cause mortality, the direct contribution of SA to worse cardiovascular prognosis may be difficult to evaluate, and its independent association with the different types of cardiovascular outcomes may be debated, particularly in the context of patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The aim of this study was to assess the impact of known SA on the outcomes of hospitalized patients who have had an AMI by analyzing 10-year data collected from a national registry. Methods. This longitudinal cohort study was based on the national hospitalization database that covers hospital care for the entire French population, including all patients admitted with AMI from January 2010 to June 2019. The clinical outcomes for the analysis were as follows: all-cause death, cardiovascular death, ischemic stroke, new-onset atrial fibrillation (FA), and re-hospitalization for heart failure (HF). Results. Among the 797,212 patients who presented with an AMI (528,351 men and 268,861 women), 37,075 (4.7%) had documented SA. During follow-up (mean [SD] 1.8 [2.4] years, median [interquartile range] 0.7 [0.1-3.1] years), 163,845 deaths (of which 85,649 were cardiovascular deaths), 20,168 ischemic strokes, 58,498 new-onset AF, and 92,381 rehospitalizations due to HF were recorded. Patients with known SA had a worse prognosis in the short and medium term, but after adjusting for all covariables, SA was only independently associated with a higher risk of rehospitalization for HF and new-onset AF in men and women. Conclusion. Data from our large nationwide analysis confirm that known SA is associated with poor cardiovascular outcomes in patients who have had an AMI. However, this impact is tem-pered when the model is adjusted for age, cardiovascular risk, or other covariables. Further studies need to be conducted to assess the independent impact of SA on the prognosis of patients with AMI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A close relationship exists between obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) and hypertension. However, the impact of hypertension on the prognostic significance of OSA in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) remains unclear. METHODS This is a post hoc analysis of the OSA-ACS project, which consecutively included patients with ACS and receiving overnight sleep study from June 2015 to January 2020. OSA was defined as AHI ≥15 events/hour. The primary outcome was major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE), including a composite of cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, stroke, ischemia-driven revascularisation or hospitalisation for unstable angina or heart failure. RESULTS A total of 1927 patients with ACS were finally enrolled in this study. The mean patient age was 56.4±10.5 years. Among them, 1247 (64.7%) patients had hypertension, and 1014 (52.6%) patients had OSA. During 2.9 (1.5, 3.6) years of follow-up, OSA was associated with an increased risk of MACCE among patients with hypertension (HR=1.35, 95% CI 1.04 to 1.75, p=0.02), but not in patients without hypertension (HR=1.15, 95% CI 0.79 to 1.68, p=0.47). The interaction between OSA and hypertension for MACCE was not statistically significant (interaction p=0.29). For patients with pre-existing hypertension, OSA was associated with an increased risk of MACCE only among those with grade 3 hypertension (HR 1.54, 95% CI 1.12 to 2.13, p=0.008), but not those with grade 1 or 2 hypertension. CONCLUSIONS OSA was associated with an increased risk of MACCE following ACS in patients with hypertension, especially in patients with pre-existing severe hypertension. These findings highlight the importance of identifying OSA in ACS patients with hypertension. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER NCT03362385.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Standard modifiable risk factors (SMuRFs) increase the risk of cardiovascular events in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and are also strongly associated with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in a bidirectional relationship. However, the association of OSA with recurrent cardiovascular events in ACS patients based on the number of SMuRFs remains unclear. Hence, we aimed to elucidate the prognostic implication of OSA in ACS patients stratified by the number of SMuRFs. METHODS This was a post hoc analysis of the OSA-ACS study (NCT03362385), including 1927 patients admitted for ACS and undergoing portable sleep monitoring. OSA was defined as an apnea hypopnea index ≥ 15 events/h. The primary endpoint was major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular event (MACCE) including cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, stroke, hospitalization for unstable angina or heart failure, and ischemia-driven revascularization. Cox proportional hazards model and Kaplan-Meier analysis were used to investigated the relationship between OSA and subsequent cardiovascular events after patients were stratified by the number of SMuRFs. RESULTS Among 1927 patients enrolled, 130 (6.7%) had no SMuRF, 1264 (65.6%) exhibited 1-2 SMuRFs and 533 (27.7%) presented 3-4 SMuRFs. With the increase of the number of SMuRFs, the proportion of OSA in ACS patients tended to increase (47.7% vs. 51.5% vs. 56.6%), but there was no significant difference between them (P = 0.08). After the stratification of ACS patients via SMuRF numbers and adjustment for confounding factors, fully adjusted Cox regression indicated that OSA increased the risk of MACCE (adjusted HR, 1.65; 95%CI, 1.06-2.57; P = 0.026) and ischemia-driven revascularization (adjusted HR, 2.18; 95%CI, 1.03-4.65; P = 0.042) in ACS patients with 3-4 SMuRFs. CONCLUSIONS In hospitalized ACS patients, OSA is associated with an increased risk of MACCE and ischemia-driven revascularization among patients with 3-4 SMuRFs. Therefore, screening for OSA should be emphasized in ACS patients with 3-4 SMuRFs, and intervention trials should be prioritized in these high-risk patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in patients with the acute coronary syndrome (ACS) were at high risk for cardiovascular events, but the results are currently inconclusive. We aimed to conduct a systematic review to determine the incidence of cardiovascular events among ACS patients with OSA by a meta-analysis of observational studies. METHODS PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library were searched for studies related to the association between OSA and the risk of cardiovascular events in patients with ACS. Risk of bias in observational studies was assessed according to the Risk Of Bias In the Non-randomized Studies-Of Interventions tool.We performed a meta-analysis using a random-effects model to calculate estimates of pooled hazard ratios (HR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI), and heterogeneity was assessed using the statistics. RESULTS A total of 12 studies evaluating ACS patients with OSA were included in the meta-analysis. OSA was related to the increased risk of MACE (HR = 2.2; 95% CI, 1.274-3.805, I2 = 76.1%). The effect of OSA on MACCE (HR = 1.921; 95% CI, 1.45-2.546; I2 = 19.1%) and readmission for unstable angina (HR = 3.137, 95% CI, 1.06-9.283; I2 = 52.4%) were statistically significant in the pooled analysis. All of the outcomes in the included studies had a serious risk of bias and the Grading of Recommendation, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation evidence level of all the evaluation results were very low. CONCLUSIONS OSA was associated with a significant increase in the risk of cardiovascular events for patients with ACS. Additional randomized controlled trial studies are required to confirm the results and to prove the treatment of OSA can change the prognosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and metabolic syndrome (MetS) are each increasingly common in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Whether OSA increases cardiovascular consequences in ACS patients with MetS has not been investigated. HYPOTHESIS OSA increases cardiovascular risk in ACS patients with MetS. We aimed to examine the association between OSA and cardiovascular consequences in ACS patients with MetS. METHODS In this prospective cohort study, we consecutive recruited 2160 ACS patients who underwent portable sleep breathing monitoring. OSA is defined as an apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) ≥ 15 events/h. The primary endpoint was major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE), including cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, stroke, ischemia-driven revascularization, or hospitalization for unstable angina or heart failure. RESULTS A total of 1927 patients with ACS were enrolled. Among them, 1486 (77.1%) had MetS and 1014 (52.6%) had OSA. During 2.9 years of follow-up, the cumulative incidence of MACCE was similar between OSA and non-OSA groups in patients with MetS (21.9% vs. 17.9%, adjusted hazard ratio [HR] = 1.29 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.99-1.67, p = .06) and patients without MetS (24.4% vs. 17.3%, adjusted HR = 1.21 95% CI: 0.73-2.03, p = .46). Patients with MetS and OSA had a significantly higher risk of MACCE than patients with MetS and without OSA in women (27.8% vs. 18.1%, adjusted HR = 1.70, 95% CI: 1.01-3.09, p = .04) but not in men (21.0% vs. 17.9%, adjusted HR = 1.19, 95% CI: 0.91-1.59, p = .21). CONCLUSIONS In hospitalized ACS patients with MetS, comorbid OSA was associated with increased risk of cardiovascular consequences among women.

Clinical significance of obstructive sleep apnea in patients with acute coronary syndrome with or without prior stroke: a prospective cohort study. Eur J Med Res 2023; 28:107. [PMID: 36859391 PMCID: PMC9976418 DOI: 10.1186/s40001-023-01071-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/03/2022] [Accepted: 02/16/2023] [Indexed: 03/03/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Whether obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with worse prognosis in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) with or without prior stroke remains unclear. We investigated the association of OSA with cardiovascular events in ACS patients with or without prior stroke. METHODS Between June 2015 and January 2020, we prospectively recruited eligible ACS patients who underwent cardiorespiratory polygraphy during hospitalization. We defined OSA as an apnea hypopnea index (AHI) ≥ 15 events/hour. The primary composite end point was major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCEs), including cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, stroke, ischemia-driven revascularization, or hospitalization for unstable angina or heart failure. RESULTS Among 1927 patients enrolled, 207 patients had prior stroke (10.7%) and 1014 had OSA (52.6%). After a mean follow-up of 2.9 years, patients with stroke had significantly higher risk of MACCEs than those without stroke (hazard ratio [HR]:1.49; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.12-1.98, P = 0.007). The multivariate analysis showed that patients with OSA had 2.0 times the risk of MACCEs in prior stroke group (41 events [33.9%] vs 18 events [20.9%]; HR:2.04, 95% CI:1.13-3.69, P = 0.018), but not in non-prior stroke group (186 events [20.8%] vs 144 events [17.4]; HR:1.21, 95% CI 0.96-1.52, P = 0.10). No significant interaction was noted between prior stroke and OSA for MACCE (interaction P = 0.17). CONCLUSIONS Among ACS patients, the presence of OSA was associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular events in patients with prior stroke. Further trials exploring the efficacy of OSA treatment in high-risk patients with ACS and prior stroke are warranted. Trial registration Clinicaltrials.gov identifier NCT03362385.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The impact of sex on the association of obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) with recurrent cardiovascular events following acute coronary syndrome (ACS) remains uncertain. This study sought to examine the association between OSA and long-term cardiovascular outcomes in women and men with ACS. METHODS In this prospective cohort study, we recruited 2160 ACS patients undergoing portable sleep monitoring between June 2015 and January 2020. The primary end-point was major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular event (MACCE), including cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, stroke, ischaemia-driven revascularisation or hospitalisation for unstable angina or heart failure. RESULTS After exclusion of patients with failed sleep studies, central sleep apnoea, regular continuous positive airway pressure therapy and loss of follow-up, 1927 patients were enrolled. Among them, 298 (15.5%) were women and 1014 (52.6%) had OSA (apnoea-hypopnoea index ≥15 events·h-1). The prevalence of OSA was 43.0% and 54.4% in women and men, respectively. In 4339 person-years (median 2.9 years, interquartile range 1.5-3.6 years), the cumulative incidence of MACCE was significantly higher in OSA versus non-OSA groups in the overall population (22.4% versus 17.7%; adjusted hazard ratio (HR) 1.29, 95% CI 1.04-1.59; p=0.018). OSA was associated with greater risk of MACCE in women (28.1% versus 18.8%; adjusted HR 1.68, 95% CI 1.02-2.78; p=0.042), but not in men (21.6% versus 17.5%; adjusted HR 1.22, 95% CI 0.96-1.54; p=0.10). No significant interaction was noted between sex and OSA for MACCE (interaction p=0.32). The incremental risk in women was attributable to higher rates of hospitalisation for unstable angina and ischaemia-driven revascularisation. CONCLUSIONS In hospitalised ACS patients, OSA was associated with increased risk of subsequent events, particularly among women. Female patients with ACS should not be neglected for OSA screening and dedicated intervention studies focusing on women with ACS and comorbid OSA should be prioritised.

A systematic review on the association of sleep-disordered breathing with cardiovascular pathology in adults. NPJ Prim Care Respir Med 2022; 32:41.

Abstract
Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) is characterized by repeated breathing pauses during sleep. The prevalence of SDB varies widely between studies. Some longitudinal studies have found an association of SDB with incident or recurrent cardiovascular events. We sought to systematically describe the current data on the correlation between SDB and cardiovascular pathology. Studies were included if they were original observational population-based studies in adults with clearly diagnosed SDB. The primary outcomes include all types of cardiovascular pathology. We carried out pooled analyses using a random effects model. Our systematic review was performed according to the PRISMA and MOOSE guidelines for systematic reviews and was registered with PROSPERO. In total, 2652 articles were detected in the databases, of which 76 articles were chosen for full-text review. Fourteen studies were focused on samples of an unselected population, and 8 studies were focused on a group of persons at risk for SDB. In 5 studies, the incidence of cardiovascular pathology in the population with SDB was examined. In total, 49 studies described SDB in patients with cardiovascular pathology. We found an association between SDB and prevalent /incident cardiovascular disease (pooled OR 1.76; 95% CI 1.38–2.26), and pooled HR (95% CI 1.78; 95% CI 1.34–2.45). Notably, in patients with existing SDB, the risk of new adverse cardiovascular events was high. However, the relationship between cardiovascular disease and SDB is likely to be bidirectional. Thus, more large-scale studies are needed to better understand this association and to decide whether screening for possible SDB in cardiovascular patients is reasonable and clinically significant.

Abstract
Background The aim of this prospective study was to determine the impact of elevated ANGPTL3 (angiopoietin-like protein 3) on cardiovascular events (CVEs) following acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in patients with or without obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Methods and Results A total of 1174 patients with ACS underwent successful percutaneous coronary intervention were included in this prospective cohort study (NCT03362385). Patients were categorized according to the apnea-hypopnea index (≥15 events/h, OSA) and further classified by ANGPTL3 levels. We analyzed the incidence of CVEs in patients with ACS according to the status of OSA and ANGPTL3. During a median of 3.1 years of follow-up, 217 (18.48%) CVEs occurred. The patients with ACS with OSA had higher ANGPTL3 levels than those without OSA (30.4 [20.9-43.2] versus 27.80 [19.1-41.5] ng/mL; P<0.001). In all patients with ACS, 29≤ANGPTL3<42 mg/dL and ANGPTL3≥42 mg/dL were associated with an increased risk of CVEs with hazard ratios (HRs) of 1.555 (95% CI, 1.010-2.498) and 2.489 (95% CI 1.613-3.840), respectively. When the status of OSA or not was incorporated in stratifying factors, 29≤ANGPTL3<42 mg/dL and ANGPTL3≥42 mg/dL were associated with a significantly higher risk of CVEs in patients with ACS with OSA (HR, 1.916 [95% CI, 1.019-3.601] and HR, 2.692 [95% CI, 1.379-4.503]) but not without OSA. Moreover, adding ANGPTL3 to the Cox model increased C-statistic values by 0.035 and 0.029 in the OSA group and all patients with ACS, respectively, but was not statistically improved in patients with ACS without OSA. Conclusions In conclusion, our study demonstrates a predictive impact of plasma ANGPTL3 on cardiovascular risk in patients with ACS, especially in patients with ACS with OSA. It might be of clinical value in refining risk stratification and tailoring treatment of patients with ACS and OSA. Registration URL: https://www.clinicaltrials.gov; Unique identifier: NCT03362385.

Abstract
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality globally, and hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes mellitus, and smoking are major cardiovascular (CV) risk factors. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and CAD share an exciting relationship, and recently, OSA has emerged as a non-traditional CV risk factor. OSA is characterized by episodic sleep state-dependent collapse of the upper airway, resulting in periodic reductions or cessations in ventilation, with consequent hypoxia, hypercapnia, or arousals from sleep. The oxidative stress and vascular inflammation resulting from the nocturnal hypoxia followed by reoxygenation cycles predispose the patients to the development of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (CVD). Untreated OSA is associated with long-term health consequences, including CVD, metabolic disorders, cognitive impairment, and depression. Paradoxically, some recent studies have reported that patients with OSA may suffer less severe CAD due to the development of collateral circulation due to repetitive hypoxia experienced due to OSA.

Is myocardial strain an early marker of systolic dysfunction in obstructive sleep apnoea? Findings from a meta-analysis of echocardiographic studies. J Hypertens 2022; 40:1461-1468.

Abstract
AIM We investigated the association between obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) and subclinical systolic dysfunction through a meta-analysis of echocardiographic studies that provided data on left ventricular (LV) mechanics as assessed by global longitudinal strain (GLS). DESIGN The PubMed, OVID-MEDLINE, and Cochrane library databases were systematically analyzed to search English-language articles published from inception to 31 December 2021. Studies were detected by using the following terms: 'obstructive sleep apnea', 'sleep quality', 'sleep disordered breathing', 'cardiac damage', 'left ventricular hypertrophy', 'systolic dysfunction', 'global longitudinal strain', 'left ventricular mechanics', 'echocardiography' and 'speckle tracking echocardiography'. RESULTS The meta-analysis included 889 patients with OSA and 364 non-OSA controls from 12 studies. Compared with controls, GLS was significantly reduced in the pooled OSA group (SMD -1.24 ± 0.17, CI: -1.58 to -0.90, P < 0.0001), as well as in the normotensive OSA subgroup (SMD: -1.17 ± 0.12 CI:-1.40 to -0.95, P < 0.0001). Similar findings were obtained in sub-analyses performed separately in mild, moderate and severe OSA. This was not the case for LV ejection fraction (LVEF) (i.e. comparisons between controls vs. mild OSA, mild vs. moderate OSA, moderate vs. severe OSA). CONCLUSION GLS is impaired in patients with OSA (independently from hypertension), worsening progressively from mild to moderate and severe forms, thus allowing to identify subclinical alterations of the systolic function not captured by LVEF. Therefore, myocardial strain assessment should be implemented systematically in the OSA setting to timely detect systolic dysfunction.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The American Heart Association, in conjunction with the National Institutes of Health, annually reports the most up-to-date statistics related to heart disease, stroke, and cardiovascular risk factors, including core health behaviors (smoking, physical activity, diet, and weight) and health factors (cholesterol, blood pressure, and glucose control) that contribute to cardiovascular health. The Statistical Update presents the latest data on a range of major clinical heart and circulatory disease conditions (including stroke, congenital heart disease, rhythm disorders, subclinical atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease, heart failure, valvular disease, venous disease, and peripheral artery disease) and the associated outcomes (including quality of care, procedures, and economic costs). METHODS The American Heart Association, through its Statistics Committee, continuously monitors and evaluates sources of data on heart disease and stroke in the United States to provide the most current information available in the annual Statistical Update. The 2022 Statistical Update is the product of a full year's worth of effort by dedicated volunteer clinicians and scientists, committed government professionals, and American Heart Association staff members. This year's edition includes data on the monitoring and benefits of cardiovascular health in the population and an enhanced focus on social determinants of health, adverse pregnancy outcomes, vascular contributions to brain health, and the global burden of cardiovascular disease and healthy life expectancy. RESULTS Each of the chapters in the Statistical Update focuses on a different topic related to heart disease and stroke statistics. CONCLUSIONS The Statistical Update represents a critical resource for the lay public, policymakers, media professionals, clinicians, health care administrators, researchers, health advocates, and others seeking the best available data on these factors and conditions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The present study aimed to evaluate the association between presence and severity of obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) and the presence of subclinical coronary artery disease (CAD) as assessed by coronary calcium score. METHODS Medline, Cochrane, and Google Scholar databases were searched. The presence of coronary artery calcification (CAC) and CAC score were assessed. RESULTS Irrespective of the cut-off value of apnoea-hypopnea index (AHI) (5 or 15 events/h), patients in the OSA group had higher rate of CAC presence and mean CAC score than those in the control group. Subgroup analyses of patients monitored with home sleep apnoea testing (HSAT) or in-hospital/laboratory polysomnography showed that the OSA group had higher rate of CAC presence and mean CAC score than the control group, except in the comparison of mean CAC score between AHI ≥5 vs. <5 events/h for patients using HSAT, which was not significant. Pair-wise comparison showed that CAC score may increase with increased OSA severity. CONCLUSIONS In participants without symptomatic coronary disease, the presence of OSA was associated with the presence and extent of CAC. However, potential confounders such as age, gender, and BMI and the diversity of CAC scores may affect the association.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a disorder characterized by intermittent airway obstruction during sleep. The association between OSA and the incidence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) has been investigated in many studies; however, the results are not entirely consistent between studies. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between OSA and the risk of CVD through a meta-analysis of cohort studies. METHODS A systematic review and meta-analysis of literature was conducted using the PubMed, WoS, Embase, ScienceDirect, Scopus, and Web of Science databases up to the year 2020. In order to analyze the eligible studies, the stochastic effects model was used and the heterogeneity of the studies with the I2 index was investigated. Data analysis was performed with Comprehensive Meta-Analysis software (Version 2). RESULTS A total of 24 studies were included in the meta-analysis according to the inclusion criteria. Twelve studies reported CVD results, 11 studies reported stroke results, 9 studies reported mortality results, and 8 studies reported CVD results. The odds ratio of CVD in patients with OSA 1.71 (1.17-2.27: 95% confidence interval) stroke in patients with OSA, 1.86 (1.28-2.69: 95% confidence interval), mortality in patients with OSA, 1.77 (1.37-2.29: 95% confidence interval) and CHD in patients with OSA, and 1.48 (1.06-2.28: 95% confidence interval) was obtained. CONCLUSION OSA is considered a cardiovascular risk factor. There is a relationship between the severity of OSA and the risk of cardiovascular disease. OSA increases the risk of heart attack, CHD, and death from cardiovascular disease.

Abstract
Background Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is one of the emerging non-traditional cardiovascular risk factors. Studying OSA may contribute towards a better understanding of current concepts of atherogenesis and in guiding therapy. Methods We conducted this cross-sectional study among 66 patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in a tertiary care hospital from 1 January 2019 to 30 June 2020. We included patients of ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI)/ non-STEMI (on achieving Killip class I/II) and unstable angina and performed in-hospital overnight polysomnography (PSG) within 8 weeks of index event. Apnoea-hypoapnoea index (AHI) value 5-<15 was defined as mild OSA, AHI 15-<30 as moderate OSA and AHI >30 as severe OSA. We analysed data using Epi Info version 7.2.4 for Windows. Results The 66 patients had a mean (SD) age of 57.7 (11.1) years and 54 (81.8%) were men. Forty-three (65.1%) patients had STEMI, 19 (28.7%) had non-STEMI and 4 (6%) had unstable angina. On PSG, the prevalence of OSA (AHI>5) was 78.8% (95% CI 67.0-87.9). Of these, AHI >15 was significantly associated with diabetes, hypertension and different measures of obesity (p<0.05). Conclusions This study, conducted in a hill state of northern India, showed a high prevalence of OSA in patients with ACS. Obesity, diabetes mellitus and hypertension were significantly associated with severity of OSA (AHI>15).

Abstract
BACKGROUND The prognostic significance of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes is unclear. The aim of this study was to determine the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and mortality in elderly patients with OSA complicated with type 2 diabetes compared to patients with OSA without type 2 diabetes. METHODS From January 2015 to October 2017, 1113 eligible elderly patients with OSA, no history of cardiovascular, ≥60 years of age, and complete follow-up records were enrolled in this consecutive multicentre prospective cohort study. All patients had completed polysomnography (PSG) examinations. An apnoea-hypopnoea index of ≥5 events per hour recorded by polysomnography was defined as the diagnostic criterion for OSA. We collected baseline demographics, clinical characteristics, sleep parameters and follow-up outcomes. The primary aim of this study was to identify the risk of incident major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE). Secondary outcomes were all-cause mortality, components of MACE and a composite of all events. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and Cox proportional hazards models were used to evaluate whether type 2 diabetes was associated with incident events. RESULTS A total of 266 (23.9%) patients had OSA complicated with type 2 diabetes. MACE occurred in 97 patients during the median 42-month follow-up. Kaplan-Meier survival curves indicated a significant relationship between type 2 diabetes and MACE (log-rank P = 0.003). Multivariable Cox regression analysis showed that type 2 diabetes increased the risk of MACE (HR = 1.64, 95% CI:1.08-2.47, P = 0.019), hospitalisation for unstable angina (HR = 2.11, 95% CI:1.23-3.64, P = 0.007) and a composite of all events in elderly patients with OSA (HR = 1.70, 95% CI:1.17-2.49, P = 0.007). However, there were no significant differences in the incidence of cardiovascular death, all-cause mortality, MI and hospitalisation for heart failure between patients with and without diabetes (P > 0.05). The subgroup analysis demonstrated that females (AHR = 2.46, 95% CI:1.17-5.19, P = 0.018), ≥ 70 years (AHR = 1.95, 95% CI:1.08-3.52, P = 0.027), overweight and obese (AHR = 2.04, 95% CI:1.29-3.33, P = 0.002) with mild OSA (AHR = 2.42, 95% CI: 1.03-5.71, P = 0.044) were at a higher risk for MACE by diabetes. CONCLUSION OSA and type 2 diabetes are interrelated and synergistic with MACE, hospitalisation for unstable angina and a composite of all events development. Overweight and obese females, ≥ 70 years with mild OSA combined with type 2 diabetes presented a significantly high MACE risk.

Severe obstructive sleep apnea is associated with coronary microvascular dysfunction and obstruction in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction. EUROPEAN HEART JOURNAL. ACUTE CARDIOVASCULAR CARE 2021; 10:645–652. [PMID: 32349515 DOI: 10.1177/2048872620919946] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/21/2020] [Accepted: 03/29/2020] [Indexed: 01/28/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Coronary microvascular dysfunction and obstruction (CMVO) is a strong predictor of a poor prognosis in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Although research has suggested that obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) exacerbates CMVO after primary percutaneous coronary intervention, data supporting a correlation between OSA and CMVO are limited. This study was performed to investigate whether OSA is associated with CMVO, detected as microvascular obstruction on cardiovascular magnetic resonance images, in patients with STEMI. METHODS Patients (N = 249) with a first STEMI underwent primary percutaneous coronary intervention. CMVO was evaluated on cardiovascular magnetic resonance images based on the presence of microvascular obstruction. OSA was classified into four levels of severity based on the respiratory event index (REI): absent (REI of <5), mild (REI of ≥5 to <15), moderate (REI of ≥15 to <30) and severe (REI of ≥30). RESULTS The REI was significantly higher in the presence of microvascular obstruction (n = 139) than in its absence (n = 110) (REI of 12.8 vs. 10.7, respectively; p = 0.023). Microvascular obstruction was observed in 42%, 58%, 57% and 70% of patients in the absent, mild, moderate and severe OSA groups, respectively. Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that severe OSA was associated with increased odds of microvascular obstruction (odds ratio (OR), 5.10; 95% confidence interval (CI),1.61-16.2; p = 0.006). Mild and moderate OSA were also associated with increased odds of microvascular obstruction (mild OSA: OR, 2.88; 95% CI, 1.19-7.00; p = 0.019 and moderate OSA: OR, 3.79; 95% CI, 1.43-10.1; p = 0.008). CONCLUSION Severe OSA was associated with CMVO after primary percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with STEMI.

Abstract
AIM We investigated the association between obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) and subclinical cardiac organ damage through a meta-analysis of echocardiographic studies that provided data on left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), assessed as a categorical or continuous variable. DESIGN The PubMed, OVID-MEDLINE, and Cochrane library databases were systematically analyzed to search English-language articles published from 1 January 2000 to 15 August 2019. Studies were detected by using the following terms: 'obstructive sleep apnea', 'sleep quality', 'sleep disordered breathing', 'cardiac damage', 'left ventricular mass', 'left ventricular hypertrophy', and 'echocardiography'. RESULTS Meta-analysis included 5550 patients with OSA and 2329 non-OSA controls from 39 studies. The prevalence of LVH in the pooled OSA population was 45% (CI 35--55%). Meta-analysis of studies comparing the prevalence of LVH in participants with OSA and controls showed that OSA was associated with an increased risk of LVH (OR = 1.70, CI 1.44-2.00, P < 0.001). LV mass was significantly increased in patients with severe OSA as compared with controls (SMD 0.46 ± 0.08, CI 0.29-0.62, P < 0.001) or with mild OSA. This was not the case for studies comparing patients with unselected or predominantly mild OSA and controls (0.33 ± 0.17, CI -0.01 to 0.67, P = 0.057). CONCLUSION The present meta-analysis expands previous information on the relationship between OSA and echocardiographic LVH, so far based on individual studies. The overall evidence strongly suggests that the likelihood of LVH increases with the severity of OSA, thus exhibiting a continuous relationship.

Abstract
Objectives Over 1 billion individuals worldwide experience some form of sleep apnoea, and this number is steadily rising. Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) can negatively influence one’s quality of life and potentially increase mortality risk. However, the association between OSA and mortality has not been reliably estimated. This meta-analysis estimates the risk of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in individuals with OSA. Design Systematic review and meta-analysis. Data sources MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, Scopus and Joanna Briggs Institute Evidence-Based Practice databases were searched from inception through 1 January 2020. Eligibility criteria for selecting studies We included observational studies assessing the association of sudden deaths in individuals with and without OSA. Data extraction and synthesis Two independent reviewers (AES and ESH) extracted data and assessed the risk of bias using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale quality assessment tool. Data were pooled using the random-effects models and reported as risk ratios (RRs) with 95% CIs. Heterogeneity was quantified with I2 statistic. Results We identified 22 observational studies (n=42 099 participants). The mean age was 62 years and 64% were men. OSA was associated with all-cause sudden death (RR=1.74, 95% CI: 1.44 to 2.10, I2=72%) and cardiovascular mortality (RR=1.94, 95% CI: 1.39 to 2.70, I2=32%). A marginally significant dose–response relationship between severity of OSA and the risk of death was observed (p for interaction=0.05): mild OSA (RR=1.16, 95% CI: 0.70 to 1.93), moderate OSA (RR=1.72, 95% CI: 1.11 to 2.67) and severe OSA (RR=2.87, 95% CI: 1.70 to 4.85). Meta-regression analysis showed that older age was a significant contributing factor in the relationship between OSA and mortality. The median study methodological quality was considered high. Conclusions OSA is a significant risk factor for all-cause mortality and cardiac mortality. Prevention and treatment strategies to optimise survival and quality of life in individuals with OSA are urgently needed. PROSPERO registration number CRD42020164941.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The impact of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) on subsequent cardiovascular events in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) remains inconclusive. AIM Our aim was to systematically assess the relationship between preexisting OSA and adverse cardiovascular events in patients with newly diagnosed ACS by conducting a systematic review and meta-analysis. METHODS We systematically searched PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane library for studies published up to May 1, 2020, that reported any association between OSA and cardiovascular events in patients with newly diagnosed ACS. The main outcomes were a composite of all-cause or cardiovascular death, recurrent myocardial infarction, stroke, repeat revascularization, or heart failure. We conducted a pooled analysis using the random-effects model. We also performed subgroup, sensitivity, heterogeneity analysis, and the assessment of publication bias. RESULTS We identified 10 studies encompassing 3350 participants. The presence of OSA was associated with increased risk of adverse cardiovascular events in newly prognosed ACS (risk ratio [RR] 2.18, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.45-3.26, P < .001, I2 = 64%). Between-study heterogeneity was partially explained by a multicenter study (9 single-center studies, RR 2.33 95% CI 1.69-3.19, I2 =18%), and I2 remarkably decreased from 64% to 18%. Moreover, OSA significantly increased the incidence of repeat revascularization (8 studies) and heart failure (6 studies) in patients with newly diagnosed ACS. CONCLUSION Patients with preexisting OSA are at greater risk of subsequent cardiovascular events after onset of ACS. Further studies should investigate the treatment of OSA in patient with ACS.

Pack AI, Magalang UJ, Singh B, Kuna ST, Keenan BT, Maislin G. Randomized clinical trials of cardiovascular disease in obstructive sleep apnea: understanding and overcoming bias. Sleep 2021; 44:5963957. [PMID: 33165616 DOI: 10.1093/sleep/zsaa229] [Citation(s) in RCA: 65] [Impact Index Per Article: 21.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/12/2020] [Revised: 10/28/2020] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
Three recent randomized control trials (RCTs) found that treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) did not reduce rates of future cardiovascular events. This article discusses the biases in these RCTs that may explain their negative results, and how to overcome these biases in future studies. First, sample selection bias affected each RCT. The subjects recruited were not patients typically presenting for treatment of OSA. In particular, subjects with excessive sleepiness were excluded due to ethical concerns. As recent data indicate that the excessively sleepy OSA subtype has increased cardiovascular risk, subjects most likely to benefit from treatment were excluded. Second, RCTs had low adherence to therapy. Reported adherence is lower than found clinically, suggesting it is in part related to selection bias. Each RCT showed a CPAP benefit consistent with epidemiological studies when restricting to adherent patients, but was underpowered. Future studies need to include sleepy individuals and maximize adherence. Since it is unethical and impractical to randomize very sleepy subjects to no therapy, alternative designs are required. Observational designs using propensity scores, which are accepted by FDA for studies of medical devices, provide an opportunity. The design needs to ensure covariate balance, including measures assessing healthy user and healthy adherer biases, between regular users of CPAP and non-users. Sensitivity analyses can evaluate the robustness of results to unmeasured confounding, thereby improving confidence in conclusions. Thus, these designs can robustly assess the cardiovascular benefit of CPAP in real-world patients, overcoming biases in RCTs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The American Heart Association, in conjunction with the National Institutes of Health, annually reports the most up-to-date statistics related to heart disease, stroke, and cardiovascular risk factors, including core health behaviors (smoking, physical activity, diet, and weight) and health factors (cholesterol, blood pressure, and glucose control) that contribute to cardiovascular health. The Statistical Update presents the latest data on a range of major clinical heart and circulatory disease conditions (including stroke, congenital heart disease, rhythm disorders, subclinical atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease, heart failure, valvular disease, venous disease, and peripheral artery disease) and the associated outcomes (including quality of care, procedures, and economic costs). METHODS The American Heart Association, through its Statistics Committee, continuously monitors and evaluates sources of data on heart disease and stroke in the United States to provide the most current information available in the annual Statistical Update. The 2021 Statistical Update is the product of a full year's worth of effort by dedicated volunteer clinicians and scientists, committed government professionals, and American Heart Association staff members. This year's edition includes data on the monitoring and benefits of cardiovascular health in the population, an enhanced focus on social determinants of health, adverse pregnancy outcomes, vascular contributions to brain health, the global burden of cardiovascular disease, and further evidence-based approaches to changing behaviors related to cardiovascular disease. RESULTS Each of the 27 chapters in the Statistical Update focuses on a different topic related to heart disease and stroke statistics. CONCLUSIONS The Statistical Update represents a critical resource for the lay public, policy makers, media professionals, clinicians, health care administrators, researchers, health advocates, and others seeking the best available data on these factors and conditions.

Impact of Obstructive Sleep Apnea on In-Hospital Outcomes of Patients with Non-ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction. HEARTS 2021.

Abstract
Background: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is one of the most common breathing disorders. There are uncertainties about its impact on the in-hospital outcomes of patients who suffer acute coronary syndromes. We studied the largest publicly available all-payer inpatient healthcare database in the United States (National Inpatient Sample) to determine the effects of obstructive sleep apnea on the in-hospital outcomes of patients admitted with non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI). Methods: All adult patients (age ≥ 18) admitted primarily for NSTEMI between September 2010 and September 2015 were identified in the National Inpatient Sample. They were then categorized into those with OSA and those without OSA. The main outcome was in-hospital mortality. Propensity scoring and logistic regression models were created to determine the outcomes. Results: There were 1,984,432 patients with NSTEMI (weighted estimates), 123,551 (6.23%) of who had diagnosed OSA while 1,860,881 (93.77%) did not. In-hospital mortality was significantly lower in the OSA group [2.61% vs. 3.53%, adjusted odd ratio (aOR) 0.73 and confidence interval (CI) (0.66–0.81)]. Patients with OSA were also less likely to require coronary artery bypass surgery: 13.85% and 12.77% (p-value 0.0003). The patients with OSA had higher mean hospital costs compared to the patients who did not have OSA: $17,326 vs. $16,984, adjusted mean ratio (aMR) 1.02; CI (1.01–1.02). Conclusion: In-hospital mortality was lower in NSTEMI patients with diagnosed OSA compared to patients without diagnosed OSA. This appears to contrast with the widely recognized adverse effects of OSA on the cardiovascular system.

Association of C1q/TNF-Related Protein-9 (CTRP9) Level with Obstructive Sleep Apnea in Patients with Coronary Artery Disease. Mediators Inflamm 2020; 2020:7281391. [PMID: 32831639 PMCID: PMC7426787 DOI: 10.1155/2020/7281391] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/17/2020] [Revised: 07/01/2020] [Accepted: 07/20/2020] [Indexed: 12/26/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is closely related to the incidence and progression of coronary artery disease (CAD), and the mechanisms linking OSA and CAD are multifactorial. C1q/TNF-related protein-9 (CTRP9) is a novel adipokine that protects the heart against ischemic injury and ameliorates cardiac remodeling. We aimed to ascertain the clinical relevance of CTRP9 with OSA prevalence in patients with CAD. Methods From August 2016 to March 2019, consecutive eligible patients with CAD (n = 154; angina pectoris, n = 88; acute myocardial infarction [AMI], n = 66) underwent cardiorespiratory polygraphy. OSA was defined as an apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) ≥15 events·h-1. Plasma CTRP9 concentrations were measured by ELISA method. Results Moderate/severe OSA was present in 89 patients (57.8%). CTRP9 levels were significantly decreased in the moderate/severe OSA group than in the no/mild OSA group (4.7 [4.1-5.2] ng/mL vs. 4.9 [4.4-6.0] ng/mL, P = 0.003). The difference between groups was only observed in patients with AMI (3.0 [2.3-4.9] vs. 4.5 [3.2-7.9], P = 0.009). Correlation analysis showed that CTRP9 levels were negatively correlated with AHI (r = -0.238, P = 0.003) and oxygen desaturation index (r = -0.234, P = 0.004) and positively correlated with left ventricular ejection fraction (r = 0.251, P = 0.004) in all subjects. Multivariate analysis showed that male gender (OR 3.099, 95% CI 1.029-9.330, P = 0.044), BMI (OR 1.148, 95% CI 1.040-1.268, P = 0.006), and CTRP9 levels (OR 0.726, 95% CI 0.592-0.890, P = 0.002) were independently associated with the prevalence of moderate/severe OSA. Conclusions Plasma CTRP9 levels were independently related to the prevalence of moderate/severe OSA in patients with CAD, suggesting that CTRP9 might play a role in the pathogenesis of CAD exacerbated by OSA.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a major risk factor for the occurrence of cardiovascular diseases. Similar to T2DM, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is also known to be a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. In this analysis, we aimed to systematically compare the post-interventional cardiovascular outcomes observed in patients with T2DM with versus without OSA. METHODS Electronic databases were searched for relevant publications comparing the cardiovascular outcomes following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with T2DM with OSA. Cardiovascular outcomes were considered as the relevant endpoints. The RevMan software 5.3 was used to carry out the statistical analysis. Odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) were used to represent the results following data assessment. RESULTS A total of 1168 participants with T2DM were included in this analysis, of whom 614 had co-existing OSA. The time period of patients' enrollment varied from year 2002 to 2017. Our current analysis showed that major adverse cardiac events (MACEs) (OR 2.28, 95% CI 1.24-4.18; P = 0.008) and all-cause mortality (OR 1.95, 95% CI 1.08-3.54; P = 0.03) were significantly higher in the OSA subgroup. However, major adverse cerebrovascular and cardiovascular (MACCEs) (OR 1.38, 95% CI 0.97-1.98; P = 0.07) and cardiac death (OR 1.79, 95% CI 0.77-4.16; P = 0.18) were not significantly different post PCI. In addition, hospitalization for heart failure (OR 1.99, 95% CI 0.43-9.25; P = 0.38), re-infarction (OR 1.52, 95% CI 0.85-2.70; P = 0.16), stroke (OR 1.81, 95% CI 0.81-4.08; P = 0.15), target vessel revascularization (TVR) (OR 1.54, 95% CI 0.98-2.42; P = 0.06), and target lesion revascularization (TLR) (OR 1.32, 95% CI 0.80-2.18; P = 0.28) were also not significantly different post PCI in the patients with T2DM with versus without OSA. CONCLUSION OSA was associated with a significant increase in all-cause mortality and MACEs post PCI in these patients with T2DM. Therefore, special care and continuous follow-up might be required for patients with T2DM with associated OSA after PCI. However, as a result of the limited number of participants, further larger studies would be required to confirm these hypotheses.

Abstract
Ischaemic heart disease (IHD) is a complex disorder and a leading cause of death and morbidity in both men and women. Sex, however, affects several aspects of IHD, including pathophysiology, incidence, clinical presentation, diagnosis as well as treatment and outcome. Several diseases or risk factors frequently associated with IHD can modify cellular signalling cascades, thus affecting ischaemia/reperfusion injury as well as responses to cardioprotective interventions. Importantly, the prevalence and impact of risk factors and several comorbidities differ between males and females, and their effects on IHD development and prognosis might differ according to sex. The cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying these differences are still poorly understood, and their identification might have important translational implications in the prediction or prevention of risk of IHD in men and women. Despite this, most experimental studies on IHD are still undertaken in animal models in the absence of risk factors and comorbidities, and assessment of potential sex-specific differences are largely missing. This ESC WG Position Paper will discuss: (i) the importance of sex as a biological variable in cardiovascular research, (ii) major biological mechanisms underlying sex-related differences relevant to IHD risk factors and comorbidities, (iii) prospects and pitfalls of preclinical models to investigate these associations, and finally (iv) will provide recommendations to guide future research. Although gender differences also affect IHD risk in the clinical setting, they will not be discussed in detail here.

Abstract
Background The prognostic significance of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in the contemporary era is unclear. We performed a large, prospective cohort study and did a landmark analysis to delineate the association of OSA with subsequent cardiovascular events after ACS onset. Methods and Results Between June 2015 and May 2017, consecutive eligible patients admitted for ACS underwent cardiorespiratory polygraphy during hospitalization. OSA was defined as an apnea‐hypopnea index ≥15 events·h−1. The primary end point was major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular event (MACCE), including cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, stroke, ischemia‐driven revascularization, or hospitalization for unstable angina or heart failure. OSA was present in 403 of 804 (50.1%) patients. During median follow‐up of 1 year, cumulative incidence of MACCE was significantly higher in the OSA group than in the non‐OSA group (log‐rank, P=0.041). Multivariate analysis showed that OSA was nominally associated with incidence of MACCE (adjusted hazard ratio, 1.55; 95% CI, 0.94–2.57; P=0.085). In the landmark analysis, patients with OSA had 3.9 times the risk of incurring a MACCE after 1 year (adjusted hazard ratio, 3.87; 95% CI, 1.20–12.46; P=0.023), but no increased risk was found within 1‐year follow‐up (adjusted hazard ratio, 1.18; 95% CI, 0.67–2.09; P=0.575). No significant differences were found in the incidence of cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, and ischemia‐driven revascularization, except for a higher rate of hospitalization for unstable angina in the OSA group than in the non‐OSA group (adjusted hazard ratio, 2.10; 95% CI, 1.09–4.05; P=0.027). Conclusions There was no independent correlation between OSA and 1‐year MACCE after ACS. The increased risk associated with OSA was only observed after 1‐year follow‐up. Efficacy of OSA treatment as secondary prevention after ACS requires further investigation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The prognostic significance of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) according to diabetes mellitus (DM) status remains unclear. We aimed to elucidate the association of OSA with subsequent cardiovascular events in patients with ACS with or without DM. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS In this prospective cohort study, consecutive eligible patients with ACS underwent cardiorespiratory polygraphy between June 2015 and May 2017. OSA was defined as an Apnea Hypopnea Index ≥15 events/hour. The primary end point was major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCEs), including cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, stroke, ischemia-driven revascularization, or hospitalization for unstable angina or heart failure. RESULTS Among 804 patients, 248 (30.8%) had DM and 403 (50.1%) had OSA. OSA was associated with 2.5 times the risk of 1 year MACCE in patients with DM (22.3% vs 7.1% in the non-OSA group; adjusted HR (HR)=2.49, 95% CI 1.16 to 5.35, p=0.019), but not in patients without DM (8.5% vs 7.7% in the non-OSA group, adjusted HR=0.94, 95% CI 0.51 to 1.75, p=0.85). Patients with DM without OSA had a similar 1 year MACCE rate as patients without DM. The increased risk of events was predominately isolated to patients with OSA with baseline glucose or hemoglobin A1c levels above the median. Combined OSA and longer hypoxia duration (time with arterial oxygen saturation <90%>22 min) further increased the MACCE rate to 31.0% in patients with DM. CONCLUSIONS OSA was associated with increased risk of 1 year MACCE following ACS in patients with DM, but not in non-DM patients. Further trials exploring the efficacy of OSA treatment in high-risk patients with ACS and DM are warranted.
