PG - 1883-1890 LID - S1443-9506(21)01150-1 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.hlc.2021.07.008 [doi] AB - BACKGROUND: Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) occurs frequently in patients with coronary artery disease, with associated intermittent hypoxia a possible stimulus for coronary collateral recruitment through ischaemic preconditioning. We sought to determine whether OSA affects recruitment of coronary collaterals and prognosis of patients presenting with ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). METHODS: Patients with a STEMI undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) from July 2010 to December 2019 were reviewed. Electronic medical records were accessed to determine documented patient history of OSA. Patients with robust collaterals were defined as Rentrop Grade 2 or 3. RESULTS: 1,863 patients were included, of which 143 (7.7%) patients had documented evidence of OSA in their health record. Patients with OSA had a higher body mass index (BMI) (30.2 kg/m(2) vs 27 kg/m(2), p<0.0001), greater rate of hypertension (61.1% vs 45.1%, p<0.0001), hypercholesterolaemia (47.4% vs 38.4%, p<0.05) and diabetes mellitus (22.6% vs 15.9%, p<0.05). Patients with OSA were more likely to have robust coronary collaterals (OR: 2.2 [95% CI: 1.5-3.2]) and a lower rate of left ventricular (LV) impairment (50.7% vs 63.1%, p<0.01), a higher LV ejection fraction (50.3% vs 46.7%, p<0.0001) and a lower peak troponin-I level (26,452 ng/L vs 39,469 ng/L, p<0.01). There were no differences in rates of in-hospital or longer term mortality, in patients with OSA compared to those without. CONCLUSIONS: Patients with documented OSA presenting with STEMI appear to have more robust coronary collaterals observed on angiography which likely mediates lower myocardial necrosis. Broader implications of this finding on treatment require further investigation.
