Abstract
Aim: Recent data have identified specific symptom and polysomnographic profiles associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD) in patients with obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). Our aim was to determine whether these profiles were present at diagnosis of OSA in patients with established CVD and in those with high cardiovascular risk. Participants in the Sydney Sleep Biobank (SSB) database, aged 30– 74 years, self-reported presence of CVD (coronary artery disease, cerebrovascular disease, or heart failure). In those without established CVD, the Framingham Risk Score (FRS) estimated 10-year absolute CVD risk, categorised as “low” (< 6%), “intermediate” (6– 20%), or “high” (> 20%). Groups were compared on symptom and polysomnographic variables. Results: 629 patients (68% male; mean age 54.3 years, SD 11.6; mean BMI 32.3 kg/m2, SD 8.2) were included. CVD was reported in 12.2%. A further 14.3% had a low risk FRS, 38.8% had an intermediate risk FRS, and 34.7% had a high risk FRS. Groups differed with respect to age, sex and BMI. OSA severity increased with established CVD and increasing FRS. The symptom of waking too early was more prevalent in the higher FRS groups (p=0.004). CVD and FRS groups differed on multiple polysomnographic variables; however, none of these differences remained significant after adjusting for age, sex, and BMI. Conclusion: Higher CVD risk was associated with waking too early in patients with OSA. Polysomnographic variations between groups were explained by demographic differences. Further work is required to explore the influence of OSA phenotypic characteristics on susceptibility to CVD.
期刊介绍:
Nature and Science of Sleep is an international, peer-reviewed, open access journal covering all aspects of sleep science and sleep medicine, including the neurophysiology and functions of sleep, the genetics of sleep, sleep and society, biological rhythms, dreaming, sleep disorders and therapy, and strategies to optimize healthy sleep.
Specific topics covered in the journal include:
The functions of sleep in humans and other animals
Physiological and neurophysiological changes with sleep
The genetics of sleep and sleep differences
The neurotransmitters, receptors and pathways involved in controlling both sleep and wakefulness
Behavioral and pharmacological interventions aimed at improving sleep, and improving wakefulness
Sleep changes with development and with age
Sleep and reproduction (e.g., changes across the menstrual cycle, with pregnancy and menopause)
The science and nature of dreams
Sleep disorders
Impact of sleep and sleep disorders on health, daytime function and quality of life
Sleep problems secondary to clinical disorders
Interaction of society with sleep (e.g., consequences of shift work, occupational health, public health)
The microbiome and sleep
Chronotherapy
Impact of circadian rhythms on sleep, physiology, cognition and health
Mechanisms controlling circadian rhythms, centrally and peripherally
Impact of circadian rhythm disruptions (including night shift work, jet lag and social jet lag) on sleep, physiology, cognition and health
Behavioral and pharmacological interventions aimed at reducing adverse effects of circadian-related sleep disruption
Assessment of technologies and biomarkers for measuring sleep and/or circadian rhythms
Epigenetic markers of sleep or circadian disruption.
