Interactions Between Body Mass Index and Glomerular Filtration Rate Increase the Identification Ability of Obstructive Sleep Apnea in Patients with Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy.

Purpose: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is common in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) patients and is related to worse adverse prognosis in HCM patients. However, there are no acknowledged warning characteristics to help to identify OSA in HCM patients.

Methods: Seventy-one HCM patients and forty-nine hypertensive (HTN) patients as control group underwent polysomnography (PSG) examination at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University from January 2015 to December 2019 patients were consecutively enrolled.
