TI  - Cephalometric risk factors associated with myocardial infarction in patients 
      suffering from obstructive sleep apnea: A pilot case-control study.

AB  - INTRODUCTION: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and its craniofacial anatomic risk 
      factors might play a role in several cardiovascular diseases, including 
      myocardial infarction (MI). However, there are no data about cephalometric 
      findings among OSA patients with MI. METHODS: In this pilot case-control study, 
      about 2000 individuals referred to the sleep center were evaluated according to 
      apnea - hypopnea index (AHI) and other inclusion criteria. Included were 62 OSA 
      male patients (AHI > 10), of whom 6 had an MI history. In both control (n = 56) 
      and MI groups (n = 6), 18 cephalometric parameters were traced. Data were 
      analyzed using independent samples t-test. RESULTS: Compared with control OSA 
      patients, OSA patients with MI showed a significantly larger tongue length 
      (p = 0.015). The other cephalometric variables were not significantly different 
      between the two groups. CONCLUSION: An elongated tongue might be considered a 
      risk factor for MI in OSA patients. The role of other variables remains 
      inconclusive and open to investigation with larger samples (determined based on 
      pilot studies such as this report) collected in longitudinal fashion.
