Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the relationship between sleep disordered breathing and myocardial injury in patients with acutely decompensated heart failure, indicating that sleep apnea may worsen heart condition due to intermittent hypoxemia.
- Researchers performed sleep apnea tests and measured cardiac troponin levels in hospitalized patients, finding that a significant majority had sleep disordered breathing and showed increased troponin levels.
- The results suggest that severe sleep apnea, particularly of the central type, is linked to myocardial injury, highlighting the potential benefits of monitoring sleep patterns and cardiac biomarkers to understand this relationship better.
