| Abstract | ||
| Background The prevalence of sleep disordered breathing (SDB) is higher in people with cardiovascular illness, which may be related to the pathophysiology of the condition. Objectives: This work aimed to evaluate the frequency and characteristics of SDB among patients with various cardiovascular diseases and its relation to disease severity. Methods: This is a prospective cross sectional observational study that was conducted on 105 different cardiac patients who underwent Overnight polysomnography at Sleep Study Unit, Chest department at Benha University Hospital in cooperation with the cardiology department during a period from December 2022 to December 2024. Results: High frequency of SDB in different cardiac groups. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and Obesity hypoventillation syndrome (OHS) were more frequent in all groups but group D (HFrEF) has the highest frequency(96.7%, 50% respectively), but simple primary snoring and upper airway resistance syndrome were less frequent across all groups. While central sleep apnea (CSA) and mixed apnea were mostly absent across all groups, with no significant differences observed (P1 = 0.392). Conclusion: high frequency of SDB in patients with different cases of heart diseases (CAD - AF – HFpEF – HFrEF). Cardiac patients with coexisting OSA have increased risk of disease progression if OSA remains untreated. | ||
