Association between left ventricular end-diastolic volume and cardiovascular disease in systemic hypertensive patients with obstructive sleep apnea
Background and purpose
Systemic hypertension and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) are closely linked conditions that substantially increase the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Left ventricular end-diastolic volume (LVEDV) is a crucial echocardiographic marker of cardiac remodeling; however, its prognostic value in patients with concomitant systemic hypertension and OSA remains poorly defined. This study aimed to examine the association between LVEDV and the incidence of CVD in this high-risk population.
Methods
This retrospective cohort study included patients with confirmed systemic hypertension and OSA, who were stratified into tertiles based on baseline LVEDV. Multivariable Cox proportional hazards models, adjusted for demographic factors, comorbid conditions, and OSA severity, were used to evaluate CVD risk. Sensitivity and stratified analyses were conducted to assess the robustness of the findings.
Results
A total of 1914 patients (mean age 48.7 ± 10.2 years) were followed for a median of 83 months, during which 186 incident CVD events were documented. The incidence of CVD increased progressively across LVEDV tertiles. In fully adjusted analyses, patients in the highest tertile (T3: >81 mL) showed a significantly higher risk of CVD compared with those in the lowest tertile (T1: <70 mL) (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.86; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.30–2.67; P = 0.001). Although a higher risk was observed for the intermediate tertile (T2: 70–81 mL), this association did not reach statistical significance (HR = 1.29; 95% CI: 0.88–1.88; P = 0.19). These associations remained stable across sensitivity and stratified analyses.
Conclusion
Elevated LVEDV is independently associated with an increased risk of CVD in patients with coexisting systemic hypertension and OSA. These findings support LVEDV as a novel and readily obtainable echocardiographic biomarker for cardiovascular risk stratification in this population. Routine assessment of LVEDV may enable earlier identification of individuals at heightened risk and inform timely preventive strategies in patients with OSA-related systemic hypertension.
期刊介绍:
Sleep Medicine aims to be a journal no one involved in clinical sleep medicine can do without.
A journal primarily focussing on the human aspects of sleep, integrating the various disciplines that are involved in sleep medicine: neurology, clinical neurophysiology, internal medicine (particularly pulmonology and cardiology), psychology, psychiatry, sleep technology, pediatrics, neurosurgery, otorhinolaryngology, and dentistry.
The journal publishes the following types of articles: Reviews (also intended as a way to bridge the gap between basic sleep research and clinical relevance); Original Research Articles; Full-length articles; Brief communications; Controversies; Case reports; Letters to the Editor; Journal search and commentaries; Book reviews; Meeting announcements; Listing of relevant organisations plus web sites.
