Left ventricular remodeling and dysfunction in obstructive sleep apnea : Systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is associated with cardiovascular mortality and morbidity. Several studies have reported that it affects the left ventricle; however, large randomized controlled trials are lacking. The current study aimed to summarize the association between OSAS and left ventricular (LV) structure and function.

Methods

Electronic databases (PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane) and references were searched for articles published until March 2018. A systematic review and meta-analysis were performed to assess LV structure and function in OSAS patients based on echocardiography.

Results

In total, 17 studies with 747 OSAS patients and 426 control participants were included. Patients with OSAS showed an increase in LV diastolic diameter (weighted mean difference [WMD], 95% CI: 1.24 [0.68, 1.80]; p < 0.001), LV systolic diameter (WMD, 95% CI: 1.14 [0.47, 1.81]; p = 0.001), and LV mass (WMD, 95% CI: 35.34 [20.67, 50.00]; p < 0.001). In addition, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) significantly decreased in the OSAS group compared with the controls (WMD, 95% CIs: -1.82 [-2.76, -0.87]; p < 0.001), and the reduction in LVEF was consistent with the severity of OSAS. The OSAS group also showed an increase in left atrial diameter (WMD, 95% CI: 2.13 [1.48, 2.77]; p < 0.001) and left atrial diameter volume index (WMD, 95% CIs: 3.96 [3.32, 4.61]; p < 0.001).

Conclusion

Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome leads to atrial dilatation, left ventricular hypertrophy, enlargement, mass increase and reduction of systolic function. Treatments for OSAS might be beneficial for the preservation of left cardiac structure and function.

Project description:Study objectivesObstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with cardiovascular comorbidities such as left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy. Whether OSA is an independent etiological factor for this hypertrophic remodeling is yet unknown. Continuous positive airway pressure partially reverses this hypertrophy, but data regarding the effect of mandibular advancement devices on LV remodeling are scarce. The aim of this prospective trial is to evaluate the effect of mandibular advancement device therapy on LV geometry and function in patients with OSA.MethodsAt baseline and 6-month follow-up, participants underwent a home sleep apnea test, 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring and a 2-dimensional Doppler and tissue Doppler echocardiography.ResultsSixty-three patients (age: 49 ± 11 years; body mass index: 27.0 ± 3.4 kg/m2; baseline apnea-hypopnea index home sleep apnea test: 11.7 [8.2; 24.9] events/h) completed the 6-month follow-up visit. Overall, blood pressure values and parameters of LV function were within normal ranges at baseline and did not change under mandibular advancement device therapy. In contrast, the interventricular septum thickness was at the upper limits of normal at baseline and showed a significant decrease at 6-month follow-up (11.1 ± 2.1 mm vs 10.6 ± 2.0 mm, P = .03). This significant improvement is only found in responders but not in nonresponders. There was no correlation between the decrease of interventricular septum thickness and the change in blood pressure.ConclusionsIn mildly obese, normotensive patients with OSA we observed significant reverse hypertrophic remodeling after 6 months of successful mandibular advancement device therapy, with maintained normotensive systemic blood pressure. This suggests that OSA is an independent factor in the pathophysiology of LV hypertrophy in these patients.Clinical trial registrationRegistry: ClinicalTrials.gov; Name: Evaluation of the Cardiovascular Effects of the MAS in the Treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea; URL: https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT02320877; Identifier: NCT02320877.CitationDieltjens M, Vanderveken OM, Shivalkar B, et al.

Project description:BackgroundA comprehensive assessment of left ventricular (LV) remodeling and systolic function using contrast-enhanced cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has not yet been reported. This retrospective case-control study aimed to explore and assess the myocardial structure, function, and tissue characteristic changes of LV remodeling in patients with OSA using the CMR method.MethodsFifty-one selected participants 32 OSA and 19 non-OSA underwent overnight polysomnography and CMR examination using T1 mapping and feature tracking techniques. Twenty age- and sex-matched healthy controls were also enrolled for comparison between the groups.ResultsPatients were grouped by apnea-hypopnea index (AHI): AHI <5 events/h as non-OSA group (n=19, 40.7±8.0 years), 5-30 events/h as mild-moderate OSA (n=13, 47.8±9.4 years), and >30 events/h as severe OSA (n=19, 39.0±10.0 years). The OSA group had a higher LV mass index (LVMI) to height2.7 than the non-OSA and healthy control groups (21.0±3.8 vs. 16.4±3.1 and 16.3±3.2 mL/m2.7, P<0.001). Compared with healthy controls, OSA patients had lower global circumferential strain values, although the LV ejection fraction was preserved. Late gadolinium enhancement was not detected in all participants, whereas the extracellular volume fraction was lower in patients with OSA than in the non-OSA and healthy control groups (24.4%±1.9% vs. 26.2%±2.5%, P=0.006 and 24.4%±1.9% vs. 26.5%±2.3%, P=0.004, respectively). The indexed cellular volume (iCV) of the myocardium was significantly higher in subjects with mild-to-moderate and severe OSA than in those without OSA (14.2±2.3 and 15.8±3.1 vs. 11.6±2.4 mL/m2.7, P<0.05). On multivariate linear regression analysis of patients with two different models, OSA severity remained significantly associated with increased LVMI (β=0.348, P=0.004 and β=0.233, P=0.048, respectively) and iCV (β=0.337, P=0.004 and β=0.231, P=0.047, respectively) after adjusting for clinical risk factors.ConclusionsLVMI is elevated in OSA with a normal LV ejection fraction, mainly with cellular hypertrophy. Cellular hypertrophy without focal fibrosis in OSA may be our main finding.
