The Nightmares of Sleep Apnea: Nightmare Frequency Declines with Increasing Apnea Hypopnea Index

Is Apnea-Hypopnea Index a proper measure for Obstructive Sleep Apnea severity?

Mean apnea–hypopnea duration (but not apnea–hypopnea index) is associated with worse hypertension in patients with obstructive sleep apnea

To determine which polysomnography parameters are associated with severity of hypertension.This retrospective study collected data on all patients admitted to our urban, academic center in Beijing with hypertension who had undergone polysomnograms (PSG) and were diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) (apnea-hyponea index [AHI] ≥5/hour). We then compared polysomnographic parameters (AHI, o...

Advanced age and apnea-hypopnea index predict subclinical atherosclerosis in patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome

BACKGROUND Both obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) and coronary artery calcification (CAC) are considered to be related with the presence of coronary artery disease (CAD). In this study we evaluate the association between OSAS and presence of subclinical atherosclerosis assessed by tomographic coronary calcium score in patients who had OSAS but no history of known CAD. METHODS Seventy-th...
