Article Synopsis
- Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) causes intermittent low oxygen levels during sleep and is linked to various cardiovascular diseases, especially heart failure, with a two-way relationship between the two conditions.
- A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted to estimate the prevalence of OSA in heart failure patients and vice versa, using data from four major databases, resulting in a significant number of studies meeting the criteria.
- The findings revealed that 38.4% of heart failure patients had OSA, with variations based on criteria and geographic regions, while 12.8% of OSA patients experienced heart failure, indicating a substantial overlap between the two conditions.
