SYMPATHO-ADRENAL HYPERACTIVITY IN PATIENTS WITH CORONARY HEART DISEASE AND SLEEP APNOEA SYNDROME
Abstract
The activity of sympatho-adrenal system was investigated in 103 patients with post-infarction cardiosclerosis (mean age 59 years, mean body mass index – 27 kg/m2 ), with night sleep apnoea syndrome of varying severity. Morning blood pressure (BP) level, mean nighttime heart rate (HR), and urinary concentrations of vanilylamygdalic acid and total metanephrines were measured. In patients with high index of apnoea-hypopnoea, BP and HR levels were higher, as well as the night excretion of catecholamine metabolites. It could be concluded that increased apnoea-hypopnoea index and reduced blood oxygenation are linked to increased sympatho-adrenal activity
