Abstract
PURPOSE Sleep disordered breathing in decompensated heart failure has physiological consequences (e.g., intermittent hypoxemia) that may predispose to subclinical myocardial injury, yet a temporal relationship between sleep apnea and troponin elevation has not been established. METHODS We assessed the feasibility of performing respiratory polygraphy and measuring overnight high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T change in adults admitted to the hospital with acutely decompensated heart failure. Repeat sleep apnea tests (SATs) were performed to determine response to optimal medical heart failure therapy. Multivariable logistic regression was used to identify associations between absolute overnight troponin change and sleep apnea characteristics. RESULTS Among the 19 subjects with acutely decompensated heart failure, 92% of SATs demonstrated sleep disordered breathing (apnea-hypopnea index [AHI] > 5 events/h). For those with repeat SATs, AHI increased in 67% despite medical management of heart failure. Overnight troponin increase was associated with moderate to severe sleep apnea (vs. no to mild sleep apnea, odds ratio (OR = 18.4 [1.51-224.18]), central apnea index (OR = 1.11 [1.01-1.22]), and predominantly central sleep apnea (vs. obstructive, OR = 22.9 [1.29-406.32]). CONCLUSIONS Sleep apnea severity and a central apnea pattern may be associated with myocardial injury. Respiratory polygraphy with serial biomarker assessment is feasible in this population, and combining this approach with interventions (e.g., positive airway pressure) may help establish if a link exists between sleep apnea and subclinical myocardial injury.

Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a highly prevalent condition with major neurocognitive and cardiovascular health effects. Positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy prevents the collapse of the pharyngeal airway to improve hypoxemia, hypercapnia, and sleep fragmentation caused by OSA. While adherence to PAP therapy has been thought to be a barrier to use, consistent usage is likely much higher than commonly thought. In addition, many strategies have been developed to assist providers in improving their patients' PAP adherence.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is common among bariatric surgery patients and is associated with perioperative risk. Preoperative screening is recommended, but some screening tools lack validation, and their relative performance is unclear in this population. The study objective was to compare the ability of four existing tools (STOP-BANG, NO-OSAS, No-Apnea, and the Epworth Sleepiness Scale [ESS]) to screen for moderate to severe OSA in a diverse bariatric cohort. METHODS Data from patients presenting for first-time bariatric surgery who underwent a sleep study within 1 year of the initial encounter were retrospectively reviewed. Performance of the four tools for detecting moderate to severe OSA was compared based on the area under the receiver operating characteristic curves (AUC). RESULTS Of the included 214 patients (83.2% female, median age 39 years), 45.3% had moderate to severe OSA. Based on AUC, STOP-BANG (0.75 [95% CI: 0.68-0.81], N = 185), NO-OSAS (0.76 [95% CI: 0.69-0.82], N = 185), and No-Apnea (0.69 [95% CI: 0.62-0.76], N = 190) had similar performance (P > 0.16). Compared with STOP-BANG and NO-OSAS, ESS (0.61 [95% CI: 0.54-0.68], N = 198) had a significantly lower AUC (P < 0.01). Hispanic/Latino self-identification, sex, or obesity class did not significantly modify test performance. CONCLUSIONS STOP-BANG and NO-OSAS may be preferable to No-Apnea and ESS when screening bariatric surgery patients for moderate to severe OSA. Efforts to screen bariatric patients for OSA are recommended.
