ABSTRACT
Background:
Despite the considerable knowledge of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) implications for cardiac diseases, the evidence regarding cardiovascular complications across OSA phenotypes including Rapid Eye Movement OSA (REM-OSA) and Positional OSA (POSA) is limited. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the risk of cardiovascular diseases development and progression among patients with REM-OSA and POSA.Methods:
Based on a retrospective cohort analysis, we included polysomnography studies done in the sleep lab at the Jordan University Hospital. Regarding cardiovascular diseases, primary outcomes were Heart Failure, and 1-years Major Adverse Cardiac Events while secondary outcomes were atrial fibrillation, pulmonary hypertension, other arrhythmia, metabolic profile, and echocardiographic measurements of the heart.Results:
The total number of the included patients was 1,026 patients. POSA group had significantly lower percentage of patients with hypertension (P-value = 0.004). Additionally, systolic blood pressure and HbA1c were significantly lower among patients with POSA compared to the NPOSA group (P-value<0.050). Left ventricular end diastolic dimension was significantly higher among patients with POSA while ejection fraction was significantly lower (P-value<0.050). Patients with diabetes and mean HbA1c were significantly lower among patients with REM-OSA compared to patients with NREM-OSA (P-value = 0.015, P-value = 0.046). Multivariate regression analysis revealed that after adjusting for age, gender and preexisting comorbidities, POSA was significantly associated with lower ejection fraction and higher left ventricular diastolic diameter.Conclusion:
In conclusion, our findings indicate that POSA might be associated with huge and clinically significant heart strain and poor cardiac functions, yet it might not have a clinically significant atherogenic effect. This study should guide clinicians to identify OSA phenotypes to imply the best treatment plan to reduce its detrimental impact on cardiac muscle.
