DOES SLEEP APNEA AFFECT MY HEART?

OSA appears to be related to the development of heart and vascular disease, as noted by a 2008 publication of the American Heart Association and the American College of Cardiology.27 Almost 40% of patients with OSA have elevated blood pressure. Moreover, it appears that patients with OSA may have a 2 to 3 times increased risk of heart attack and stroke.28, 29, 30 Americans who have OSA are more likely to die suddenly of cardiac causes between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. than during the other 16 hours of the day combined, according to findings of a Mayo Clinic study.
