| Popis: | In order to study the frequency and the mechanisms of daytime pulmonary hypertension (PH) in obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS) lung function tests, blood gas analysis and right-heart catheterization were performed in 46 consecutive patients. OSAS was assessed by polysomnography. 9 patients only (20%) had PH (mean pulmonary artery pressure (Ppa) greater than or equal to 20 mmHg). Patients with PH had lower daytime PaO2 (60.8 +/- 7.6 vs. 76.2 +/- 9.4 mmHg; p less than 0.001), higher daytime PaCO2 (44.8 +/- 4.2 vs. 38.0 +/- 4.0 mmHg; p less than 0.001), lower forced vital capacity (FVC) and forced expiratory volume (FEV1) (p less than 0.001), but the severity of OSAS was not different whether PH was present or not (apnoea index: 62 +/- 34 hour in the PH group vs. 65 +/- 40 hour, apnoea + hypopnoea index 102 +/- 33 hour in the PH group vs. 86 +/- 36 hour, lowest sleep SaO2: 59 +/- 21% in the PH group vs. 66 +/- 18%). There were significant correlations between Ppa and: daytime PaO2 (r = -0.61; p less than 0.001), PaCO2 (r = 0.55; p less than 0.001), FEV1 (r = -0.52; p less than 0.001) but not between Ppa and apnoea index, apnoea + hypopnoea index, lowest sleep SaO2. PH and daytime hypoxaemia were associated either with chronic airway obstruction or with severe obesity. |
