Associations between common sleep disturbances and cardiovascular risk in patients with obstructive sleep apnea: A large-scale cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Studies have shown that obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is inextricably linked with cardiovascular diseases (CVD). However, the roles of certain common sleep disturbances, such as low slow-wave sleep, excessive daytime sleepiness and short sleep duration, in the pathogenesis and progression of CVD in patients with OSA have not been determined. Therefore, we conducted a large cross-sectional study to explore the effect of low slow-wave sleep, excessive daytime sleepiness and short sleep duration on the risk of CVD in patients with OSA.

Methods

Subjects were consecutively enrolled to participate in the sleep center of Shanghai Jiao Tong University Affiliated Sixth People's Hospital. All OSA patients were diagnosed by standard polysomnography, while controls were all s
