[Research on the effects of CPAP for OSA combined CHD long-term prognosis]
Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the effects of CPAP for obstructive sleep apnea(OSA) combined CHD(coronary heart disease) long-term prognosis. Method:One hundred and twenty cases of OSA combind CHD in gansu province people's hospital sleep center were randomly divided into two groups according to apnea hypopnea index(AHI), group A(light, medium OSA and CHD) 60 cases, group B(severe OSA and CHD) 60 cases. Contrast analysis and comparison between two groups PSG(Polysomnography) parameters, and the differences between the degree of coronary artery lesions and CPAP therapy effect on coronary long-term prognosis. Result:Compared group B with A, AHI, BMI, LSaO2, Epworth sleepiness scale(ESS) score, the amino acid homocysteine, the prevalence of hypertension, type 2 diabetes, the prevalence of acute myocardial infarction(ami) and vascular lesions and SYNTAX score increased significantly(P<0.05). The ejection fraction decreased significantly(P<0.05). The BNP(Brain natriuretic peptide) and cTNT(cardiac troponin, cTn) concentration there was no significant difference between the two groups(P>0.05). CPAP treatment(30.0±4.2) months later, Group B: CAPA + conventional treatment group, compared with the simple routine LSaO2, ejection fraction increased significantly(P<0.05), AHI, cardiovascular adverse events, vascular lesions, SYNTAX score, the BNP and TNT concentration significantly reduced(P<0.05); Group A: AHI, decreased significantly(P<0.05), LSaO2increased significantly(P<0.05), ejection fraction, cardiovascular adverse events, vascular lesions, SYNTAX score, there was no significant difference between the BNP and TNT concentration; Survival analysis showed that: Group A CPAP+conventional treatment group cumulative survival rate higher than the conventional treatment group, but there was no statistically significant difference(P=0.260). Group B: CPAP+conventional treatment group total survival rate was significantly higher than that of the conventional treatment group(P<0.001); Conclusion:With the increase of the severity of OSA, OSA merge CHD coronary artery pathological changes degree aggravating, CPAP therapeutic benefit the long-term prognosis of CHD.
