A new study presented at the European Society of Cardiology’s Congress 2022 took into account five sleep attributes, then linked those over a 10-year period to participants’ heart outcomes.
Among patients with minor ischemic stroke, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has a significant negative effect on comprehension and perception, according to study findings published recently in Sleep and Breathing.
As more research links obstructive and central sleep apnea to AFib, some take steps toward systematically screening patients.
The scientists found that those who had more varied heart rates between 2 to 4 a.m., and between 4 to 6 a.m., tended to be prone to more severe depressive symptoms.

A new study has shown how circadian rhythms in heart cells help to change heart function over the course of the day and may explain why shift workers are more vulnerable to heart problems.

Obstructive sleep apnea patients are more likely than the general population to undergo elective surgeries, but anesthesia and sleep apnea can be a lethal combination if not managed properly.

A new statement from the American Heart Association means more cardiologists, as well as more parents, will be attuned to cases of possible pediatric sleep apnea—and may be more willing to treat it.

Researchers have developed a simple, fast hospital-based screening and testing method that correctly identified most patients with sleep apnea.
Read MoreA new study has found that sleeping badly can reduce your lifespan. But doing strenuous activity, including exercise such as running and going to the gym, may counter some of the adverse health effects.
Read MoreAdults with sleep apnea had a 214% increased risk of an enlarged carotid diameter, a structural sign of vascular aging.

The researchers also found that OSA increases a person’s risk of developing certain cardiovascular conditions including hypertension, coronary artery disease, and congestive heart failure.

If the questionnaire suggests the patient may have sleep apnea, they receive further in-hospital screening using one of two devices: high-resolution pulse oximetry and ResMed ApneaLink.
