Obstructive Sleep Apnea in Coronary Artery Disease.

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common sleep-related breathing disorder, characterized by obstruction of upper airways during sleep, resulting in repetitive breathing pauses accompanied by oxygen desaturation and arousal from sleep. OSA patients commonly suffers from poor sleep quality and reduced quality of life. Further, OSA is associated with cardiovascular risk factors and linked independently to both structural coronary artery disease (CAD) as well as functional CAD.

The Association of Obstructive Sleep Apnea in Ischemia with No Obstructive Coronary Artery Disease - A Pilot Study.

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is increasingly recognized to be a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. This pilot study assessed the association of OSA and invasive coronary microvascular function in patients with ischemia with no obstructive coronary artery disease (INOCA). Forty-two patients with angina, were prospectively screened at a single tertiary centre covering the northern metropolitan area of South Australia, from February 2018 to December 2020 (ACTRN12618000149268).

Predictors of Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA) Population in the Coronary Angiogram Database of South Australia (CADOSA).

Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is increasingly recognized to be a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. This study assessed the prevalence and clinical predictors of OSA in patients undergoing coronary angiography. Consecutive patients undergoing coronary angiography in South Australian public hospitals from 2015 to 2018 were included.
