Overview

Supports SDB evaluation in angina referrals with reduced LVEF; leaves open causality and treatment effects.

Structured PICO

P
Population
68 consecutive patients (53 men, 15 women, aged 63.4 +/- 10.0 years) referred for angina evaluation
O
Outcome
Prevalence of sleep-disordered breathing (apnea/hypopnea index >= 10/h) and parameters influencing its severitysurrogate

In patients referred for angina evaluation, sleep-disordered breathing is common and its severity correlates with left ventricular dysfunction rather than the presence of coronary artery disease.
