Current evidence suggests a role for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in the development of cardiovascular disorders. However, obesity is an active confounder in this relationship. OSA and obesity share similar pathophysiologic mechanisms potentially leading to cardiovascular disorders. Presence of OSA in obese patients may further contribute to adverse cardiovascular outcomes when compared with each condition in isolation. In this review the authors explore the complex relationship between OSA and obesity (and nonobese subjects) in the development of cardiovascular disorders.
目前的证据表明,阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停(OSA)在心血管疾病的发展中起作用。然而,肥胖是这种关系中的一个活跃混杂因素。OSA 和肥胖具有相似的病理生理机制,可能导致心血管疾病。与每种单独的情况相比,肥胖患者中存在 OSA 可能会进一步导致不良心血管结局。在这篇综述中,作者探讨了 OSA 和肥胖(以及非肥胖患者)在心血管疾病发展中的复杂关系。
