Left ventricular structural adaptations to obstructive sleep apnea in dilated cardiomyopathy

Abstract

Obstructive sleep apnea is common among patients with heart failure and exposes the left ventricle to trophic mechanical and adrenergic stimuli. We hypothesized that in heart failure patients with nonischemic dilated cardiomyopathy (a condition characterized by eccentric hypertrophy), those with obstructive sleep apnea would have a higher prevalence of left ventricular hypertrophy by wall thickness criteria (> or = 12 mm), and greater septal thickness than those without obstructive sleep apnea. We performed echocardiography and polysomnography in 47 patients with nonischemic dilated cardiomyopathy. Obstructive sleep apnea was present in 45% of these patients. The prevalence of left ventricular hypertrophy was greater in those with than in those without obstructive sleep apnea (47.6 vs. 15.4%, p = 0.016). Interventricular septal thickness (p < 0.001) and relative wall thickness (p = 0.011) were significantly greater in those with than in those without obstructive sleep apnea. However, there was no significant difference in posterior wall thickness between the groups. The frequency of obstructive apneas and hypopneas during sleep was the only significant independent correlate of septal thickness (p = 0.001). In patients with noni...Continue Reading

Cardiomyopathy

Cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart muscle, that can lead to muscular or electrical dysfunction of the heart. It is often an irreversible disease that is associated with a poor prognosis. There are different causes and classifications of cardiomyopathies. Here are the latest discoveries pertaining to this disease.
