Although obstructive sleep apnea and cardiovascular disease have common risk factors, epidemiologic studies show that sleep apnea increases risks for cardiovascular disease independently of individuals' demographic characteristics (i.e., age, sex, and race) or risk markers (i.e., smoking, alcohol, obesity, diabetes, dyslipidemia, atrial fibrillation, and hypertension). Individuals with severe s...
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Sleep apnea is very common after stroke and is associated with poor outcome. Supine sleep is known to exacerbate apneas in the general sleep apnea population. We therefore investigated the pattern of sleep positions in the acute stroke period. METHODS Inpatients with acute ischemic stroke underwent full polysomnography that included continuous monitoring of sleep positi...
Sleep apnea and associated daytime sleepiness and fatigue are common manifestations of mainly obese middle-aged men. The onset of sleep apnea peaks in middle age, and its morbid and mortal sequelae include complications from accidents and cardiovascular events. The pathophysiology of sleep apnea remains obscure. The purpose of this study was to test three separate, albeit closely related, hypot...
399 B oth sleep apnea and congestive heart failure are common disorders. However, systolic heart failure appears to be the most common cause of central and perhaps obstructive sleep apnea. Obstructive sleep apnea is also common in isolated diastolic heart failure and may contribute to the progression of left ventricular remodeling and perhaps play a causative role. 1,3-6 However, prevalence and...
This study offers a literature research reference value for bioengineers and practitioner medical doctors. It could reduce research time and improve medical service efficiency regarding Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) detection systems. Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a sleeping disorder characterized by the repetitive reduction of airflow during sleep. Much of the past and the current apnea res...
Reduced upper airway muscle activity during sleep is a key contributor to obstructive sleep apnea pathogenesis. Hypoglossal nerve stimulation activates upper airway dilator muscles, including the genioglossus, and has the potential to reduce obstructive sleep apnea severity. The objective of this study was to examine the safety, feasibility and efficacy of a novel hypoglossal nerve stimulation ...
PURPOSE: Cross-sectional studies have documented the co-occurrence of obstructive sleep apnea (hereafter, sleep apnea) with glucose intolerance, insulin resistance, and type 2 diabetes mellitus (hereafter, diabetes). It has not been determined, however, whether sleep apnea is independently associated with the subsequent development of diabetes, accounting for established risk factors. METHODS: ...
STUDY OBJECTIVES To determine whether drivers with sleep apnea are at increased risk of motor vehicle crash; whether disease severity, daytime sleepiness, or both disease severity and daytime sleepiness affect this risk, and whether treatment of sleep apnea reduces crash risk. DESIGN Systematic review of published literature. SETTING N/A. PATIENTS/PARTICIPANTS Patients with sleep apnea. ...
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effects of sildenafil on the autonomic nervous system in patients with severe obstructive sleep apnea. METHODS Thirteen male patients with severe obstructive sleep apnea (mean age 43+/-10 years with a mean body mass index of 26.7+/-1.9 kg/m(2)) received a single 50-mg dose of sildenafil or a placebo at bedtime. All-night polysomnography and heart rate variability wer...
Incidence of sleep apnea syndromes in the general population in Japan is unknown. To investigate this incidence in Japan, sleep apnea syndromes were carefully diagnosed for all patients who visited a private hospital located in Naka Ward, Nagoya, from November 1, 1983, until April 30, 1985. A total of 9132 patients were examined by four doctors. Insomnia, heavy snoring, daytime hypersomnia, sho...
