Dr Ashish Trivedi, Dr Suhas Hardas

Abstract :

Sleep–disordered eathing is a common condition affecting up to 9% of middle aged women and 24% of middle–aged men (1). Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is increasingly being recognized as an important public health problem in the last two to three decades. Accumulating data suggests that obstructive sleep apnea is being considered as an independent risk factor for cardio metabolic diseases and leading to increased morbidity and mortality. In an effort to quantify the risk of OSA patients for cardiovascular disease, we decided to study cardiovascular profile in patients with established OSA. Ours was a Prospective Observational study. Our study included 87 subjects, who were diagnosed to have obstructive sleep apnea by overnight Polysomnography. Our study shows that there is strong association between severity of Obstructive sleep apnea & coronary artery disease.
