What is the relationship between sleep apnea and coronary heart disease???

Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome is one of the most prevalent and prevalent sleep-disordered breathing disorders. Its harm to the body is mainly the intermittent hypoxia and the destruction of sleep structure during sleep, which is easy to be combined with multi-system and multi-organ diseases such as cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and sudden sleep death can occur in severe cases.

Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome is an important risk factor for coronary artery blood supply disorders. People with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome have twice the incidence of coronary heart disease than people with non-obstructive sleep apnea. There is also a high incidence of coronary heart disease in patients with obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OS-AHS).

The incidence of myocardial infarction in patients with coronary heart disease and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome is significantly higher than that in patients with non-obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, which is an independent risk factor for myocardial infarction. Several different types of arrhythmias are associated with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, with atrial and ventricular premature contractions being the most common, but also refractory supraventricular tachycardia, atrial fibrillation or flutter, and ventricular arrhythmias.

Obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome can cause abnormalities in blood formation, coagulation function, blood glucose and lipid metabolism, etc., leading to the occurrence and development of atherosclerosis. It has a clear relationship with coronary heart disease, and is one of the most important elements of coronary heart disease independent of age, weight, diet, heredity and other reasons.

I hope you find the above reply helpful.

It should be said that your disease diagnosis is clear: sleep apnea syndrome can cause high blood pressure, which can cause high heart disease and coronary heart disease, the latter of which in turn causes heart failure. In fact, the results of your three cardiac ultrasounds have not changed much, which is the aortic valve.

A small amount of regurgitation may be detected in the second and tricuspid valves, and the left ventricular ejection fraction is low. Mild tricuspid regurgitation suggests pulmonary hypertension, which may be due to a combination of left atrial enlargement, increased pressure, sleep apnea, and pulmonary congestion due to heart failure. Just continue to ** these diseases at present, you need to stick to the medication, don't worry.

The standard body shape of patients with sleep apnea is obesity, short and thick neck, and fat accumulation in the neck, resulting in narrowing of the airways, so most obese people who exceed 20% of the standard body weight have moderate to severe snoring. In **, after the patient**, the snoring will also be reduced to varying degrees. In addition, long-term heavy alcohol consumption and heavy smoking are also risk factors for sleep apnea.
