OBS jest rosnącym problemem zdrowotnym, związanym z licznymi powikłaniami metabolicznymi oraz schorzeniami kardiologicznymi. Rozpoznanie bezdechu zawsze powinno skłaniać lekarza do całościowej oceny pacjenta pod kątem możliwych chorób współistniejących i powikłań narządowych. Ogromny udział w diagnostyce i leczeniu tej grupy chorych mają lekarze kardiolodzy.

ABSTRACT

Does a patient with obstructive sleep apnea require cardiac consultation?

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is characterized by recurrent episodes of partial (hypopnea) or complete (apnea) airway closure during sleep due to upper airway collapse, followed by hypoxia and sympathetic activation. A majority of studies show a strong correlation between obstructive sleep apnea and cardiovascular diseases, including coronary artery disease, hypertension, arrhythmia and heart failure. Continuous positive airway pressure, the first-line treatment for OSA, is highly effective in relieving symptoms and improving the quality of life, but has a limited effect on reducing cardiovascular risk. The purpose of this paper is to find out if patients diagnosed with OSA require cardiovascular screening.
