Abstrakt: Objective: To investigate the association between obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) severity with markers of overnight myocardial injury in patients with refractory angina.
Methods: Patients with refractory angina were characterised clinically and they underwent ischaemia imaging stress tests by single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and/or cardiac MRI. The patients were admitted to the hospital, remained under resting conditions for blood determination of high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) at 14:00, 22:00 and after overnight polysomnography at 7:00.
Results: We studied 80 consecutive patients (age: 62±10 years; male: 66%; body mass index (BMI): 29.5±4 kg/m(2)) with well-established diagnosis of refractory angina. The mean apnoea-hypopnoea index (AHI) was 37±29 events/h and OSA (AHI >15 events/h) was present in 75% of the population. Morning detectable hs-cTnT and above 99th percentile was present in 88% and 36% of the population, respectively. Patients in the first to third quartiles of OSA severity did not have circadian variation of hs-cTnT. In contrast, patients in the fourth quartile (AHI ≥51 events/h) had a circadian variation of hs-cTnT with a morning peak of hs-cTnT that was two times higher than that in the remaining population (p=0.02). The highest quartile of OSA severity remained associated with the highest quartile of hs-cTnT (p=0.028) in multivariate analysis.
Conclusion: Very severe OSA is common and independently associated with overnight myocardial injury in patients with refractory angina.
