Abstract

The suggested association between severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD) needs further study. Only few recent reports exist on associations between brain amyloid-β (Aβ) burden and severe OSA in middle-aged patients. Examine the possible presence of cortical Aβ accumulation in middle-aged patients with severe OSA. We performed detailed multimodal neuroimaging in 19 cognitive intact patients (mean 44.2 years) with severe OSA (Apnea-Hypopnea Index >30 h-1). Known etiological factors for possible Aβ accumulation were used as exclusion criteria. Aβ uptake was studied with [11C]-PiB-PET, glucose metabolism with [18F]-FDG-PET, and structural imaging with 3.0T MRI. When analyzed individually, in [11C]-PiB-PET a substantial number (∼32%) of the patients exhibited statistically significant evidence of increased cortical Aβ uptake based on elevated regional Z-score values, mostly seen bilaterally in the precuneus and posterior cingulum regions. Cortical glucose hypometabolism in [18F]-FDG-PET was seen in two patients. MRI did not show structural changes suggestive of AD-related pathology. Increased [11C]-PiB uptake was seen in middle-aged cognitively intact patients with severe OSA. These findings are si...Continue Reading
