Abstract
BACKGROUND
Recent studies have indicated that obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is linked to a higher likelihood of heart failure (HF). However, the causal connection between the two conditions is uncertain. We aimed to investigate the causal association of OSA with HF and its risk factors.
METHODS
The OSA summary statistics are derived from the FinnGen database, including 38,998 cases and 336,659 controls. and HF summary statistics come from HERMES, the UK biobank, and the FinnGen database. A two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis was conducted to examine the causality of OSA on HF risk. Furthermore, the mediator effect of potential risk factors was assessed by a two-step MR.
RESULTS
The results of MR analysis demonstrated that genetically determined OSA is causal associated with the higher likelihood of HF (HERME: odds ratio [OR] = 1.222; 95% confidence interval [CI] [1.091, 1.369]; p = 5.19 × 10-4) (FinnGen: OR = 1.233; 95% CI [1.129, 1.346]; p = 3.32 × 10-6) (UK Biobank: OR = 1.002; 95% CI [1.000, 1.003]; p = 0.014). Two-step MR analysis indicated that obesity, blood glucose, depression, and other CVDs have significant mediating effects on the causal effect between OSA and HF.
CONCLUSION
This MR study emphasizes the causal effect of OSA on HF risk. Adiposity traits play a major role in the process of OSA leading to HF. Considering the detrimental impact of OSA on HF, it becomes imperative to prioritize the prevention and management of HF in individuals afflicted with OSA. The foremost intervention strategy should revolve around effective obesity management.
期刊介绍:
''Cardiology'' features first reports on original clinical, preclinical and fundamental research as well as ''Novel Insights from Clinical Experience'' and topical comprehensive reviews in selected areas of cardiovascular disease. ''Editorial Comments'' provide a critical but positive evaluation of a recent article. Papers not only describe but offer critical appraisals of new developments in non-invasive and invasive diagnostic methods and in pharmacologic, nutritional and mechanical/surgical therapies. Readers are thus kept informed of current strategies in the prevention, recognition and treatment of heart disease. Special sections in a variety of subspecialty areas reinforce the journal''s value as a complete record of recent progress for all cardiologists, internists, cardiac surgeons, clinical physiologists, pharmacologists and professionals in other areas of medicine interested in current activity in cardiovascular diseases.
