Abstract

Objective To elevate the understanding of obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) and improve its diagnosis. Methods Forty-five cases admitted to the department were analyzed. Whole-night sleep monitoring was performed for 45 patients without coronary heart disease(coronary artery angiography was normal). Results Forty-five cases of OSAHS were diagnosed,among which mild OSAHS (5/h≤AHI＜20/h) was 17 cases,moderate OSAHS was 8 cases (20/h≤AHI＜40/h,), severe OSAHS was 20 cases (AHI≥40/h). Conclusions OSAHS is not uncommon. The diagnosis should be considered when chest pain, oppressive chest occur after nocturnal awakening for individuals with habitual snoring and daytime excessive sleepiness. Key words: Obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome; Coronary heart disease; Diagnosis
