CPAP-therapy changes of hemodynamic response to physical load in osas patients
Abstract
Cardiovascular consequences of obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome are known to be one of the main causes of increased morbidity and mortality associated with this disease. Pathophysiological mechanisms underlying hemodynamic abnormalities in OSAS, the role of increased sympathetic tonus are being discussed. The CPAP efficiency for correction of OSAS hemodynamic consequences has not been established yet. The aim of the current study was to assess cardiovascular response to physical load and the short-term effects of CPAP-therapy on hemodynamics in OSAS patients. Ten severe OSAS patients were examined. A bicycle exercise test dynamic stress-echocardiography was performed to study cardiovascular response to physical load. Tests were performed before and 5 days after the starting of CPAP therapy. The results of study showed that hyperdynamic B P response to physical load was common for severe OSAS patients and associated with the initial decrease of left ventricular stroke volume. Short-term CPAP course improved the central hemodynamic pattern and the blood pressure response. One of the possible involved mechanisms could be the reduction of sympathetic nervous activity due to the CPAP effects on nocturnal hypoxemia and sleep fragmentation. Conclusion: short-term CPAP-therapy produces positive changes in hemodynamic response to physical load in OSAS patients.
