Key result
NSTEMI patients had a significantly higher rate of high-risk for obstructive sleep apnea syndrome compared to STEMI patients (45.8% vs 27.1%, p<0.001), and OSAS risk scores positively correlated with coronary artery disease severity.

Objective: There is increasing evidence linking obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) with cardiovascular pathogenesis. OSAS diagnostic methodologies have recently come to standards, and there is not enough in-depth research in the field of sleep medicine and cardiology. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the presence of OSAS and its relationship with severity of coronary artery disease in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Materials and Methods: 192 patients who applied with acute coronary syndrome and who underwent coronary angiography were included in the study. 96 patients were ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and 96 patients were non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI). SYNTAX scores of the patients were calculated. Patients were administered Berlin questionnaire and Epworth sleepiness score (ESS) before discharge. The scales were compared between the two groups and the patients' SYNTAX score. Results: The rate of high risk patients according to Berlin questionnaire and ESS was found statistically significant in NSTEMI patients compared to the STEMI group (p <0.001, p = 0.023). The total amount of points determined in Berlin questionnaire and ESS was statistically significant in NSTEMI patients compared to the STEMI group (p <0.001). In Pearson correlation analysis, a significant positive correlation was found between the SYNTAX score and the total score determined in the Berlin questionnaire, and between the SYNTAX score and ESS (r = 0.865, p <0.001 and r = 0.761, p <0.001). Conclusion: In this study, the relationship between OSAS and ACS was evaluated. Berlin questionnaire and ESS results were higher than the literature, and a positive correlation was found between the SYNTAX score and OSAS risk.

Gulay et al. (2020) conducted a cross-sectional in Acute Coronary Syndrome (n=192). Non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) vs. ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) was evaluated on High-risk for obstructive sleep apnea syndrome according to the Berlin questionnaire (p=<0.001). NSTEMI patients had a significantly higher rate of high-risk for obstructive sleep apnea syndrome compared to STEMI patients (45.8% vs 27.1%, p<0.001), and OSAS risk scores positively correlated with coronary artery disease severity.
