阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停与缓慢性心律失常的关系

Objective To analyze the relations between obstructive sleep apnea and bradyarrhythmia.Methods From 1999 to 2005,203 patients who came from Bering Tongren Hospital and Fuwai Hospital were found to have sleep apnea in an ambulatory study. A Hoher electrecardiogram was recorded for 24 hours within 2 weeks after patients were diagnosed as obstructive sleep apnem Results Nocturnal episodes of bradyarrhythmia were identified in 12(5.9%)of 203 patients.Body mass index and respiratory disturbance index in patients with bradyarrhythmia(n=12)were higher than those in patientswithour bradyarrhymia(n=191)(34±5 735.24±6 and 63±15 vs.25±5,respectively,both P<0.01).There was a significant difference in end-apneic oxygen saturation in apnea/hypopnea episodes with and without bradyarrhythmia(63%±15% vs.75%±11%,P<0.05).A linear relation between end-apneic oxygen saturation and number of sinus arrests and heart blocks was not found.Conclusions Patients with apnea-associated bradyarrhythmia have higher body mflgB index and higher respiratory disturbance index than patients without bradyarrhythmi&Bradyarrhythmia occurres independently from decrease in oxygen saturation.
