Ventricular structural changes in patients with sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) and myocardial infarction
2018
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with cardiovascular diseases. Aim: To analyze structural parameters of myocardial damage in patients presenting with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and its relationship with OSA severity. Method: This is a prospective, observational study in patients with a first acute myocardial infarction (MI) treated by percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) studies were performed at 3 days and 6 months. Eligible patients underwent a polysomnography within 30 days after PCI. Quantitative data were expressed as mean±SD. Linear regression analysis was used to describe associations between infarct characteristics and OSA. …
Hypoxic burden and angiogenic factors in patients with myocardial infarction and obstructive sleep apnea
2019
Introduction: The amount and severity of hypoxia have been related to risk of cardiovascular events. Aim: To determine the relationship between nocturnal hypoxic burden and pro- angiogenic factors in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and myocardial infarction (MI). Method: A prospective, observational study in patients with a first acute MI. Eligible patients underwent a polysomnography within 30 days after MI, and a serum blood sample was drawn in order to measure a panel of angiogenic factors by Luminex technology. A hypoxic burden index (HBI) was calculated as the integral area under the desaturation curve (obtained by calculating the integral of the oxygen saturation reduction…
