Article Synopsis
- Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is linked to increased risk of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) during the night, with this study examining the timing and frequency of STEMI occurrences in OSA patients compared to non-OSA patients.
- In a study of 397 patients, 33% of those with OSA experienced STEMI onset between midnight and 5:59 am, significantly higher than the 15% in non-OSA patients, indicating a nearly threefold increased risk of STEMI during these hours for OSA patients.
- Over a follow-up period of nearly three years, STEMI onset times in OSA patients were associated with a heightened risk of adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events
Objective: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a potential cardiovascular risk. We aimed to investigate the association of OSA with heart rhythm disorders and prognosis in elderly patients with new-onset acute myocardial infarction (AMI).
Methods: We prospectively enrolled 252 AMI elderly patients (mean age, 68.
