Apnea Syndrome

Recently, it has been clearly described an independent relationship between obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) and cardiovascular risk, with underlying mechanisms also including endothelial dysfunction. We enrolled 32 consecutive non-obese patients (mean age of 39.5±11.5 years), of which 16 with mild OSAS and 16 snoring without OSAS. Mild OSAS is defined by an AHI index between 5 and 15. We have investigated if whether there was a relationship between mild OSAS, endothelial function and carotid intima-media thickness (C-IMT). The population was divided into two groups: Group 1 (16 simple snorer patients with an average age of 39.4±12.1 years) and Group 2 (16 subjects with mild OSAS with an average age of 39.6±11.2 years). Each group underwent cardiovascular investigation including measurement of flow-mediated dilation (FMD) of the brachial artery and C-IMT. Both groups comprised non-obese subjects. Patients with mild OSAS had serum total cholesterol values statistically significantly higher than simple snores patients (178.6±24.9 vs 159.2±25.3; p=0.038). OSAS patients had also a trend towards higher values of maximum C-IMT compared to simple snorer patients (0.70±0.15 vs 0.65±0.16), although below the level of significance. Between the two groups, no difference was found for FMD values. The present results on mild OSAS strengthen the importance of a diagnosis of OSAS as soon as possible, in order to encourage all primary prevention interventions to correct risk factors responsible for disease progression and the occurrence of cardiovascular diseases, not excluding the use of therapies of non-invasive ventilation even in the early stages of the disease.

Background: Sex-related differences in the prevalence and clinical presentation of Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OSAS) have been widely documented. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of patients’ sex on polygraphic parameters with particular attention to sleep autonomic changes in a population of OSAS patients. Methods: Sixty OSAS patients aged 55-65 years (30 men, 30 women) were enrolled. Sleep quality was assessed with the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and daytime sleepiness with the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS). The presence of respiratory events and autonomic changes during the night was investigated by polygraphy. Results : Similar main cardiovascular risk factors prevalence was observed in both men and women. We observed a significant difference in PSQI (higher in women, p=0.0001) and ESS (higher in men, p=0.004) scores. Snoring (p=0.033), supine AHI (p=0.004), T90 (p=0.021), LO2 (p=0.0001), LF/HF ratio and LF (p=0.0001) were significantly higher in men. Sex differences in PSQI mean score and LF/HF ratio variability were preserved in all the subgroups of OSA severity. Conclusion: The influence of sex in modulating cardiovascular risk is a widely discussed topic. In our study, men showed more severe polygraphic parameters and an increase in LF/HF ratio compared to women. The results of our investigation suggest the relevance of delivering information about the different expressions of OSAS in men and women in order to improve diagnostic skills and in-depth prevention approaches.
