Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS) increases the risk cardiovascular events regardless of the presence of previous cardiovascular disease. As both OSAS and coronary heart disease (CHD) have same risk factors it�s often difficult to quantify the proportion of each risk factor in developing cardiac events. The aim of this study was to evaluate the 10-year risk of developing a coronary heart disease (CHD) event or stroke in newly diagnosed OSAS patients. 65 patients diagnosed with OSAS over a period of four months in Oradea Sleep Laboratory were included. Demographic characteristics, anthropometric parameters, clinical and biochemical data, sleep disorder and daytime sleepiness assessment, results of polysomnography were collected in all patients. In 55 selected patients by age range from 34 to 74 years old, cardiovascular risk was assessed using Framingham score calculator. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS-PC version 7.5 and Stata 10.The estimated 10-years risk of a CHD event was 18.97% (� 9.67) in all cases. It was higher in men (22.17% � 9.24) compare to women (12.39% � 6.92) and it was not significantly different by stages of OSAS severity (20.58% �9.41 in patients with severe OSAS versus 15.4% in mild OSAS), suggesting that apnea hypopnea index is not a major confounding factor. Desaturation of oxygen is a better outcome to define the relation between OSAS and cardiovascular diseases. OSAS and cardiovascular risk factors increased risk for future adverse cardiovascular events related to the severity of oxygen desaturation.

Obstructive sleep apnoea, atrial fibrillation and erectile dysfunction (OSAFED) syndrome is a new clinical entity recently introduced into clinical practice. The acronym consists of the first letters of the three clinical entities that comprise the disease, namely obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA), atrial fibrillation (AF) and erectile dysfunction (ED). As with many other clinical syndromes, OSAFED syndrome groups several clinical entities, which seemingly concern various organs and have different symptoms, but are closely associated by sharing risk factors and phenotype, and effecting cardiovascular risk in the same manner. OSA, AF and ED are also highly prevalent in the general population and tend to coexist. OSAFED syndrome was named as such to show how important diagnosis is of all these components in specific groups of patient. It is crucial for clinicians to improve the diagnosis and early treatment of all – OSA, AF and ED – and the incorporation of all these factors into one syndrome might help to facilitate this process.

Abstract Background Despite being a controversial subject, multiple guidelines mention the use of Coronary Artery Calcification (CAC) scoring in the cardiovascular risk prediction, in asymptomatic population. The inclusion of CAC scoring in traditional risk models may help in decision-make providing better cardiovascular risk stratification. Purpose The aim of our study is to estimate the impact of CAC scoring in cardiovascular events risk prediction in a model based on traditional risk factors (TRFs). Methods and results The study consisted of 1052 asymptomatic individuals free of known coronary heart disease, enrolled from GENEMACOR study and referred for computed tomography for the CAC scoring assessment. A cohort of 952 was followed for a mean of 5.2±3.2 years for the primary endpoint of all-cause of cardiovascular events. The following traditional risk factors were considered: (1) current cigarette smoking, (2) dyslipidemia, (3) diabetes mellitus, (4) hypertension and (5) family history of coronary heart disease. Among this population, the extent of CAC differs significantly between men and women in the same age group. Therefore, the distribution of CAC score by age and gender was done by using the Hoff's nomogram (a). According to this nomogram, 3 categories were created: low CAC (0≤CAC<100 and P<50); moderate CAC (100≤CAC<400 or P50–75) and high CAC (CAC≥400 or P>75). Two Cox regression models were created, the first only with TRFs and the second adding the CAC severity categories. When including CAC categories to the TRFs, the higher severity level presented a significant risk of MACE occurrence with an HR of 4.39 (95% CI 1.83–10.52; p=0.001). Conclusion Our results point to the importance of the inclusion of CAC in both primary and secondary prevention to an improved risk stratification. Larger prospective multicentre cohorts with longer follow-up should reproduce and validate these findings. Funding Acknowledgement Type of funding source: None

Abstract The relationship between obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) and the development of long-term cardiovascular disease (CVD) is incompletely understood. We therefore investigated the impact of OSA severity, assessed by polysomnographic (PSG) metrics, on the development of long-term CVD in a sleep clinic cohort. Participants in the Western Australian Sleep Health Study, who attended a sleep clinic at a tertiary hospital between 2006 and 2010, were linked to state health administrative data from 1969 to 2016. Cox regression was used to investigate associations between standard PSG metrics of OSA severity (including the apnoea-hypopnoea index [AHI], time with oxygen saturation <90% [T90], and arousal index) and a CVD composite outcome (hospitalisation due to coronary heart disease, heart failure, stroke, or atrial fibrillation), controlling for baseline CVD risk factors such as age, sex, and body mass index (BMI). A total of 4067 participants were included: mean (SD) age of 50.6 (14.0) years, with 60.8% men. The mean BMI was 32.7 (7.7) kg/m². Over a median follow-up of 7.3 years, 584 (14.4%) participants developed the composite CVD outcome. Following adjustment for risk factors, independent predictors of incident CVD were an AHI ≥30 events/hour (hazard ratio [HR], 1.21; 95% CI, 1.02–1.45), log (T90 + 1) (HR, 1.16; 95% CI, 1.03–1.31), and the periodic limb movements of sleep index (PLMSI) (HR, 1.01; 95% CI, 1.00–1.01). We demonstrated independent effects of AHI, hypoxaemia, and PLMSI on incident CVD in this large sleep clinic cohort, suggesting multi-faceted aspects of disrupted sleep influence cardiovascular risk in OSA.
