PG - 313 LID - 10.1186/s12931-023-02627-8 [doi] LID - 313 AB - BACKGROUND: Sporadic studies have examined the impact of OSA on ACS patients by homocysteine (Hcy) level. This study attempted to comprehensively evaluate the effects of the interaction between Hcy and OSA on long-term cardiovascular outcomes in ACS patients. METHODS: In this prospective, large-scale cohort study, 2160 patients admitted for ACS were recruited to undergo overnight sleep monitoring. OSA was diagnosed when apnea-hypopnea index >/= 15 events/h. Patients with normohomocysteinemia (NHcy) were defined as having serum Hcy
