Effect of obesity and erect/supine posture on lateral cephalometry: relationship to sleep-disordered breathing.
Craniofacial and upper airway anatomy, obesity and posture may all play a role in compromising upper airway patency in patients with the sleep apnoea/hypopnoea syndrome. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between obesity, facial structure and severity of sleep-disordered breathing using lateral cephalometric measurements and to assess the effect of body posture on cephalo...
متن کاملRelationship Between Arrhythmia and Sleep Disordered Breathing.
The association between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and cardiovascular disease is well known. Data from most studies investigating the prevalence of OSA in atrial fibrillation (AF), and of AF in patients with OSA, have supported the relationship between these common diseases. In addition, several studies have shown a detrimental effect of OSA on AF treatment. These reports vary considerably i...
متن کاملObesity and the lung: 2. Obesity and sleep-disordered breathing.
As the prevalence of obesity increases in both the developed and the developing world, the respiratory consequences are often underappreciated. This review discusses the presentation, pathogenesis, diagnosis and management of the obstructive sleep apnoea, overlap and obesity hypoventilation syndromes. Patients with these conditions will commonly present to respiratory physicians, and recognitio...
متن کاملSLEEP DISORDERED BREATHING Effect of increased lung volume on sleep disordered breathing in patients with sleep apnoea
Background: Previous studies have shown that changes in lung volume influence upper airway size and resistance, particularly in patients with obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA), and that continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) requirements decrease when the lung volume is increased. We sought to determine the effect of a constant lung volume increase on sleep disordered breathing during non-REM ...
متن کاملAssociations of obesity, sleep-disordered breathing, and wheezing in children.
Although it has been speculated that rising asthma rates may be partly due to increasing obesity, the causal mechanisms that relate these conditions are unclear. We assessed the extent to which sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) may explain associations between obesity and wheezing/asthma. A total of 788 participants (aged 8-11 years) in a community-based cohort study were classified according to...
