The Sleep Heart Health Study, a cross-sectional study of nearly 6,500 participants, found that individuals in the highest apnea-hypopnea index quartile (index greater than 11) were 42 percent more likely to self-report cardiovascular disease, including coronary heart disease, heart failure, or stroke, compared to those in the lowest quartile (adjusted OR = 1.42, 95% CI, 1.13–1.78).
