This study aimed to determine whether there was significant difference of subjective daytime sleepiness between HF patients with and without SRBD. Methods We enrolled, prospectively, 195 consecutive HF patients with left ventricular ejection fractions （LVEF） ≤45% and all subjects underwent polysomnography to measure the sleep structure between 2005 and 2008. Patients were then assigned to those with SRBD including obstructive and central sleep apnea （apnea-hypopnea index （AHI） ≥5/hour of sleep） and those without SRBD （AHI 〈5/hour） according to the sleep study. The subjective sleepiness was assessed with Epworth sleepiness scale （ESS）. Results Among 195 HF patients, the prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea （OSA） was 53% and of central sleep apnea （CSA） was 27%. There was no significant difference of ESS scores between patients without SRBD （NSA） and with SRBD （NSA vs OSA： 6.7±0.6 vs 7.6±0.4, P=0.105 and NSA vs CSA： 6.7±0.6 vs 7.4±K）.5, P=0.235, respectively）, indicating that SRBD patients had no more subjective daytime sleepiness. Compared with NSA, patients with SRBD had increased arousal index （Arl） （NSA vs OSA： 14.1±1.4 vs 26.3 ±1.5, P〈0.001 and NSAvs CSA： 14.1±1.4 vs 31.3±3.5, P 〈0.001, respectively）, more awake number after sleep onset （NSA vs OSA： 19.2±1.5 vs 26.2±1.4, P=0.01 and NSA vs CSA： 19.2±1.5 vs 36.9±4.4, P 〈0.001, respectively）, and reduced proportion of slow-wave sleep （SWS） （NSA vs OSA： 13.8±1.7 vs 9.3±0.7, P=0.024 and NSA vs CSA： 13.8±1.7 vs 8.9±0.9, P=0.024, respectively）. Conclusions OSA and CSA remain common in patients with HF on optimal contemporary therapy. Patients with both HF and SRBD have no significant subjective daytime sleepiness compared with patients without SRBD, despite of significantly increased awake num展开更多

Methods Polysomnographic examinations were performed on 45 VBI patients. The incidence and characteristics of SRBD, and its relationship with various clinical factors were analyzed. Results Eighteen cases (40%) were complicated with SRBD, among which 2/3 was obstructive and 1/3 was central types. They were correlated with obesity and prone to be suffered with cardiovascular disorders.Conclusions Brain stem dysfunction caused by long term repeated ischemias probably is the pathogenesis of SRBD, especially it’s central type, in VBI. The arrhythmia and hypertension secondary to SRBD may aggravate VBI. VBI and SRBD may be reciprocal and form a vicious circle which should draw attention in the prevention and treatment of SRBD in VBI.展开更多
