Peri-apneic hemodynamic reactions in obstructive sleep apnea.
Pathophysiology : the Official Journal of the International Society for Pathophysiology 2017 September
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) increases cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Little is known on acute peri-apneic hemodynamic alterations due to apneas. We assessed these rapid changes and how duration of apnea might contribute to them. Eight patients with severe OSA were studied with polysomnography including continuous blood pressure monitoring. Peri-apneic hemodynamic alterations, heart rate, blood pressure, stroke volume, cardiac output and peripheral resistance, were assessed in short (<20s) and long (>27s) apneas. Systolic and diastolic blood pressure along with heart rate elevated significantly in both apneas. These changes occurred within first 10 beats immediately after apnea. In contrast to short apneas long apneas caused sudden increase of 0.7l in cardiac output. Acute and pronounced peri-apneic hemodynamic alterations were seen during both short and long apneas. These described rapid hemodynamic changes might escape autoregulatory mechanisms of several organs, thus making OSA patients vulnerable to acute cardiovascular events.
