Obstructive sleep apnea is linked to an increased risk of myocardial infarction as evidenced by epidemiological associations [1], specific case-control studies showing elevated odds ratios [2], and longitudinal data demonstrating higher incidences of cardiovascular events in patients with severe apnea [3].

measurementIn a 10-year observational study, patients with untreated severe obstructive sleep apnea (apnea-hypopnea index greater than 30) had a higher incidence of fatal and nonfatal cardiovascular events—including myocardial infarction, stroke, and coronary artery bypass surgery—compared to patients with similar severity who received CPAP treatment.
measurementMost case-control studies investigating the relationship between Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) and myocardial infarction have found adjusted odds ratios of approximately 4.
claimEpidemiological studies associate Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) with cardiovascular diseases, including arrhythmias, coronary artery disease, myocardial infarction, and congestive heart failure.
