CONSEQUENCES OF SLEEP APNEA SYNDROME Yüksel Peker MD, PhD, Associate Professor Sleep Medicine Unit, Skaraborg Hospital, Skövde & University of Gothenburg, Sweden
Wife stabbed snoring husband rescued by thoracic surgeons
OSA (Asymptomatic OSA; “Non-sleepy sleep apnoeics”) • OSAS (Symptomatic OSA; “Sleepy sleep-apnoeics”)
OBSTRUCTIVE SLEEP APNEA SYNDROME (OSAS) OSA + Daytime sleepinessTreatment indication
Prevalence (30-60 yrs) Men Women OSA 24 % 9 % OSAS 4 % 2 % The majority of the patients with OSA do not report daytime sleepiness
OSA increases by age Eight-year follow-up AHI versus baseline AHI in the Wisconsin Sleep Cohort Study (n= 282) Young Tet al, AJRCCM 2002
OSAS decreases after age of 64? Bixleret al, AJRCCM 1998 % Do they • become asymptomatic? • die?
OSA • Immediate changes • Long-term effects

Prognosis of CAD with concomitant OSA is WORSE than the prognosis of CAD patients without OSA Peker et al, AJRCCM 2000 Mooe et al, AJRCCM 2001 Yumino et al, Am J Cardiol 2007
Prognosis of CAD after PCI in patients with concomitant OSA 89 consecutive patients with acute coronary syndrome who were successfully treated with PCI OSA in 51 patients (57%); follow-up period 6 months Major cardiac event (cardiac death, reinfarction, revascularization) 23.5 % in OSA, 5.3 % in non-OSA (p=0.020) Odds ratio for OSA 11.6 (95% CI 2.2-62-2) Yumino et al, Am J Cardiol 2007

Prognosis of CAD with concomitant OSA is NOT WORSE than the prognosis for CAD patients without OSA 50 CAD patients (25 OSA, 25 non-OSA) Follow-up period 10 years Cardiac death in 4 versus 5 patients (ns) Hagenah et al, Respir Med 2006
