We have investigated the concurrence of sleep apnea and pulmonary hypertension in a Veteran population. We retrospectively reviewed 142 patients who underwent chest CT scans and had a dilated main pulmonary artery, defined as a width exceeding 29 mm on axial images. Approximately 40% of patients with pulmonary hypertension had associated sleep apnea. No significant difference in pulmonary artery diameters could be found between the group without sleep apnea and the group with sleep apnea (34.5 ± 4.2 mm vs. 34.7 ± 4.4 mm, = 0.373).
我们对退伍军人人群中睡眠呼吸暂停与肺动脉高压的并发情况进行了调查。我们回顾性分析了142例接受胸部CT扫描且主肺动脉扩张（定义为轴位图像上宽度超过29mm）的患者。约40%的肺动脉高压患者伴有睡眠呼吸暂停。无睡眠呼吸暂停组与有睡眠呼吸暂停组之间的肺动脉直径无显著差异（34.5±4.2mm对34.7±4.4mm，P=0.373）。
