Analysis of relative factors of coronary atherosclerotic heart disease and obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome

AIM: To analyze the relative factors of coronary atherosclerotic heart disease and obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) for early intervention and reduced incidence. METHODS: The experimental group consisted of 90 patients with coronary atherosclerotic heart disease who were diagnosed with OSAHS by polysomnography. Control group was comprised of 30 patients with coronary atherosclerotic heart disease but without OSAHS. Data such as general status, height, weight and neck circumference, parameters of polysomnography and Ba-PWV were collected from the two groups and compared. RESULTS: Compared with those parameters in the control group, neck circumference and body mass index (BMI) were higher in the experimental group (P<0.01), as well as the rate of patients with smoking habit or with hypertension (P<0.05). Ba-PWV in experimental group was also higher (P<0.01). CONCLUSION: Obesity, smoking, hypertension and atherosclerosis are the relative risk factors for coronary atherosclerotic heart disease and OSAHS.
