Evaluation of Berlin Questionnaire Validity for Sleep Apnea Risk in Sleep Clinic Populations
Introduction: The Berlin questionnaire (BQ) is a common tool to screen for Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) in the general population, but its application in the clinical sleep setting is still challenging. The aim of this study was to determine the specificity and sensitivity of the BQ compared to the apnea-hypopnea index obtained from polysomnography recordings obtained from ...
متن کاملObstructive sleep apnea, detected by the Berlin Questionnaire: an associated risk factor for coronary artery disease.
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), a risk factor for coronary artery disease, remains under diagnosed. We investigated if OSA identified by the Berlin Questionnaire (BQ) is associated with the risk of coronary artery disease. Cases were patients referred for elective coronariography. The cases were classified with significant coronary lesions (stenosis ≥ 50% in an epicardial coronary) or without si...
متن کاملHypertension and obstructive sleep apnea
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is increasingly being recognized as a major health burden with strong focus on the associated cardiovascular risk. Studies from the last two decades have provided strong evidence for a causal role of OSA in the development of systemic hypertension. The acute physiological changes that occur during apnea promote nocturnal hypertension and may lead to the development...
متن کاملObstructive sleep apnea and hypertension.
There has long been a recognized link between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and the cardiovascular system, no aspect of which has been more studied than blood pressure. Research in OSA has not only demonstrated dysregulation of homeostatic cardiovascular mechanisms but also has furthered our understanding of blood pressure regulatory control. Acute nocturnal blood pressure elevations associated...
متن کاملObstructive Sleep Apnea and Hypertension
Obstructive sleep apnea is a common problem which is becoming more common due to the epidemic of obesity. This condition can lead to hypertension through a complex cascade involving the activation of several neurohumoral systems. Treatment of the obstructive sleep apnea often results in the improvement and sometimes the cure of the hypertension. Categories: Cardiology, Internal Medicine
