article Does Obstructive Sleep Apnea Treatment Influence Lipoprotein (a) Concentrations? Data from the TREATOSA-MS Clinical Trial(2023) GIAMPA, Sara Q. C.; VIANA, Luciana G.; CARDOZO, Karina H. M.; MACEDO, Thiago A.; FURLAN, Sofia F.; FREITAS, Lunara S.; BORTOLOTTO, Luiz A.; LORENZI-FILHO, Geraldo; DRAGER, Luciano F.- Effects of continuous positive airway pressure on depression and anxiety symptoms in patients with obstructive sleep apnoea: results from the sleep apnoea cardiovascular Endpoint randomised trial and meta-analysis(2019) ZHENG, Danni; XU, Ying; YOU, Shoujiang; HACKETT, Maree L.; WOODMAN, Richard J.; LI, Qiang; WOODWARD, Mark; LOFFLER, Kelly A.; RODGERS, Anthony; DRAGER, Luciano F.; LORENZI-FILHO, Geraldo; WANG, Xia; QUAN, Wei Wei; TRIPATHI, Manjari; MEDIANO, Olga; OU, Qiong; CHEN, Rui; LIU, Zhihong; ZHANG, Xilong; LUO, Yuanming; MCARDLE, Nigel; MUKHERJEE, Sutapa; MCEVOY, R. Douglas; ANDERSON, Craig S.Background: Whether continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment can improve depression or anxiety symptoms in obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) patients remains uncertain. Methods: Secondary analysis of the Sleep Apnea Cardiovascular Endpoints (SAVE) trial, combined with a systematic review of randomised evidence. The SAVE secondary analyses involved 2410 patients with co-existing moderate-severe OSA and established cardiovascular disease randomly allocated to CPAP treatment plus usual care or usual care alone and followed up for 3.7 (SD 1.6) years. We evaluated the effect of CPAP treatment on depression and anxiety caseness (scores >= 8 on the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale depression and anxiety subscales [HADS-D and HADS-A]) for OSA patients. Findings: CPAP treatment was associated with reduced odds of depression caseness (adjusted odds ratio [OR] 0.80, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.65-0.98, P=0.031) compared to usual care in the SAVE trial and the treatment effect was greater in those with pre-existing depression symptoms. A systematic review of 20 randomised trials including 4255 participants confirmed a benefit of CPAP in reducing depression symptoms in OSA patients: the overall effect (standardised mean difference) was -0.18 (95% CI -0.24 to -0.12). No effect of CPAP treatment on anxiety caseness was found both in patients of the SAVE study (adjusted OR 0.98, 95% CI 0.78-1.24, P = 0.89) and the systematic review. Interpretation: CPAP reduces depression symptoms in patients with co-existing OSA and CVD independently of improvements in sleepiness. (C) 2019 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
- Obstructive Sleep Apnea A Cardiometabolic Risk in Obesity and the Metabolic Syndrome(2013) DRAGER, Luciano F.; TOGEIRO, Sonia M.; POLOTSKY, Vsevolod Y.; LORENZI-FILHO, GeraldoObstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is an underdiagnosed condition characterized by recurrent episodes of obstruction of the upper airway leading to sleep fragmentation and intermittent hypoxia during sleep. Obesity predisposes to OSA, and the prevalence of OSA is increasing worldwide because of the ongoing epidemic of obesity. Recent evidence has shown that surrogate markers of cardiovascular risk, including sympathetic activation, systemic inflammation, and endothelial dysfunction, are significantly increased in obese patients with OSA versus those without OSA, suggesting that OSA is not simply an epiphenomenon of obesity. Moreover, findings from animal models and patients with OSA show that intermittent hypoxia exacerbates the metabolic dysfunction of obesity, augmenting insulin resistance and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. In patients with the metabolic syndrome, the prevalence of moderate to severe OSA is very high (similar to 60%). In this population, OSA is independently associated with increased glucose and triglyceride levels as well as markers of inflammation, arterial stiffness, and atherosclerosis. A recent randomized, controlled, crossover study showed that effective treatment of OSA with continuous positive airway pressure for 3 months significantly reduced several components of the metabolic syndrome, including blood pressure, triglyceride levels, and visceral fat. Finally, several cohort studies have consistently shown that OSA is associated with increased cardiovascular mortality, independent of obesity. Taken together, these results support the concept that OSA exacerbates the cardiometabolic risk attributed to obesity and the metabolic syndrome. Recognition and treatment of OSA may decrease the cardiovascular risk in obese patients. (C) 2013 by the American College of Cardiology Foundation
- Lack of Circadian Variation of Pulse Wave Velocity Measurements in Healthy Volunteers(2011) DRAGER, Luciano F.; DIEGUES-SILVA, Luzia; DINIZ, Patricia M.; LORENZI-FILHO, Geraldo; KRIEGER, Eduardo M.; BORTOLOTTO, Luiz A.Arterial stiffness is an independent marker of cardiovascular events. Pulse wave velocity (PWV) is a validated method to detect arterial stiffness that can be influenced by several factors including age and blood pressure. However, it is not clear whether PWV could be influenced by circadian variations. In the present study, the authors measured blood pressure and carotid-femoral PWV measurements in 15 young healthy volunteers in 4 distinct periods: 8 am, noon, 4 pm, and 8 pm. No significant variations of systolic (P=.92), mean (P=.77), and diastolic (P=.66) blood pressure among 8 am (113 +/- 15, 84 +/- 8, 69 +/- 6 mm Hg), noon (114 +/- 13, 83 +/- 8, 68 +/- 6 mm Hg), 4 pm (114 +/- 13, 85 +/- 8, 70 +/- 7 mm Hg), and 8 pm (113 +/- 7, 83 +/- 10, 68 +/- 7 mm Hg), respectively, were observed. Similarly, carotid-femoral PWV did not change among the periods (8 am: 7.6 +/- 1.4 m/s, noon: 7.4 +/- 1.1 m/s, 4 pm: 7.6 +/- 1.0 m/s, 8 pm, 7.6 +/- 1.3 m/s; P=.85). Considering all measurements, mean blood pressure significantly correlated with PWV (r=.31; P=.016). In young healthy volunteers, there is no significant circadian variation of carotid-femoral PWV. These findings support the concept that it does not appear mandatory to perform PWV measurements at exactly the same period of the day. J Clin Hypertens (Greenwich). 2011;13:19-22.

- Obstructive sleep apnoea is associated with myocardial injury in patients with refractory angina(2016) GEOVANINI, Glaucylara R.; PEREIRA, Alexandre C.; GOWDAK, Luis H. W.; DOURADO, Luciana Oliveira Cascaes; POPPI, Nilson T.; VENTURINI, Gabriela; DRAGER, Luciano F.; LORENZI-FILHO, GeraldoObjective To investigate the association between obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) severity with markers of overnight myocardial injury in patients with refractory angina. Methods Patients with refractory angina were characterised clinically and they underwent ischaemia imaging stress tests by single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and/or cardiac MRI. The patients were admitted to the hospital, remained under resting conditions for blood determination of high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) at 14:00, 22:00 and after overnight polysomnography at 7:00. Results We studied 80 consecutive patients (age: 62 +/- 10 years; male: 66%; body mass index (BMI): 29.5 +/- 4 kg/m(2)) with well-established diagnosis of refractory angina. The mean apnoea-hypopnoea index (AHI) was 37 +/- 29 events/h and OSA (AHI >15 events/h) was present in 75% of the population. Morning detectable hs-cTnT and above 99th percentile was present in 88% and 36% of the population, respectively. Patients in the first to third quartiles of OSA severity did not have circadian variation of hs-cTnT. In contrast, patients in the fourth quartile (AHI >= 51 events/h) had a circadian variation of hs-cTnT with a morning peak of hs-cTnT that was two times higher than that in the remaining population (p = 0.02). The highest quartile of OSA severity remained associated with the highest quartile of hs-cTnT (p = 0.028) in multivariate analysis. Conclusion Very severe OSA is common and independently associated with overnight myocardial injury in patients with refractory angina.

- Impact of CPAP on arterial stiffness in patients with obstructive sleep apnea: a meta-analysis of randomized trials(2021) CHALEGRE, Sintya T.; LINS-FILHO, Ozeas L.; LUSTOSA, Thais C.; FRANCA, Marcus V.; COUTO, Tarcya L. G.; DRAGER, Luciano F.; LORENZI-FILHO, Geraldo; BITTENCOURT, Marcio S.; PEDROSA, Rodrigo P.Purpose This study aimed to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized trials investigating the effect of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) on non-invasive markers of arterial stiffness in patients with OSA. Methods The purpose of the study was to evaluate the effect of CPAP on markers of arterial stiffness (pulse wave velocity (PWV) and augmentation index (Aix)) in patients with OSA. The study adhered to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. We systematically reviewed MEDLINE, EMBASE, CENTRAL/CCTR, SciELO, and LILACS databases for randomized trials (RT) evaluating the changes in markers of arterial stiffness (pulse wave velocity (PWV) and augmentation index (Aix) comparing CPAP vs. controls in patients with OSA. Reviewer Manager version 5.3 (R Foundation for Statistical Computing, Vienna, Austria) was used to perform meta-analysis. Risk of bias analysis was performed using the Cochrane tool. Results Of the 464 studies initially retrieved, 9 relevant studies with 685 participants were included in the analysis. The studies presented moderate risk of bias. CPAP did not significantly reduce Aix (mean difference, - 1.96 (95% confidence interval (CI) - 5.25 to 1.33), p = 0.24), whereas it significantly changed PWV (mean difference, - 0.44 (95% confidence interval (CI) - 0.76 to - 0.12), p = 0.00). Conclusion CPAP treatment was effective in improving arterial stiffness by reducing PWV in patients with OSA. Additional randomized trials, however, should be performed to confirm these findings.
- Metabolomic and lipidomic profile in men with obstructive sleep apnoea: implications for diagnosis and biomarkers of cardiovascular risk(2018) LEBKUCHEN, Adriana; CARVALHO, Valdemir M.; VENTURINI, Gabriela; SALGUEIRO, Jessica S.; FREITAS, Lunara S.; DELLAVANCE, Alessandra; MARTINS, Franco C.; LORENZI-FILHO, Geraldo; CARDOZO, Karina H. M.; DRAGER, Luciano F.The use of metabolomic and lipidomic strategies for selecting potential biomarkers for obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) has been little explored. We examined adult male patients with OSA (defined by an apnoea-hypopnoea index >= 15 events/hour), as well as age-, gender-, and fat-composition-matched volunteers without OSA. All subjects were subjected to clinical evaluation, sleep questionnaires for detecting the risk of OSA (Berlin and NoSAS score), metabolomic analysis by gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry and lipidomic analysis with liquid chromatography followed by detection by MALDI-MS. This study included 37 patients with OSA and 16 controls. From the 6 metabolites and 22 lipids initially selected, those with the best association with OSA were glutamic acid, deoxy sugar and arachidonic acid (metabolites), and glycerophosphoethanolamines, sphingomyelin and lysophosphocholines (lipids). For the questionnaires, the NoSAS score performed best with screening for OSA (area under the curve [AUC] = 0.724, p = 0.003). The combination of the NoSAS score with metabolites or lipids resulted in an AUC for detecting OSA of 0.911 and 0.951, respectively. In conclusion, metabolomic and lipidomic strategies suggested potential early biomarkers in OSA that could also be helpful in screening for this sleep disorder beyond traditional questionnaires.
- OSA, Short Sleep Duration, and Their Interactions With Sleepiness and Cardiometabolic Risk Factors in Adults The ELSA-Brasil Study(2019) DRAGER, Luciano F.; SANTOS, Ronaldo B.; SILVA, Wagner A.; PARISE, Barbara K.; GIATTI, Soraya; AIELO, Aline N.; SOUZA, Silvana P.; FURLAN, Sofia F.; LORENZI-FILHO, Geraldo; LOTUFO, Paulo A.; BENSENOR, Isabela M.BACKGROUND: OSA and short sleep duration (SSD) are frequently associated with daytime symptoms and cardiometabolic deregulation. However, the vast majority of studies addressing OSA have not evaluated SSD, and vice versa. Our aim was to evaluate the association of OSA, SSD, and their interactions with sleepiness and cardiometabolic risk factors in a large cohort of adults. METHODS: Consecutive subjects from the Brazilian Longitudinal Study of Adult Health (ELSA-Brasil) participated in clinical evaluations, sleep questionnaires, home sleep monitoring, and actigraphy. OSA was defined as an apnea-hypopnea index >= 15 events/hour. SSD was defined by a mean sleep duration < 6 h. RESULTS: Data from 2,064 participants were used in the final analysis (42.8% male; mean age, 49 +/- 8 years). The overall frequency of OSA and SSD were 32.9% and 27.2%, respectively. Following an adjustment for multiple confounding factors, excessive daytime sleepiness was independently associated with SSD (OR, 1.448; 95% CI, 1.172-1.790) but not with OSA (OR, 1.107; 95% CI, 0.888-1.380). The SSD interaction with OSA was not significant. Prevalent obesity (OR, 3.894; 95% CI, 3.077-4.928), hypertension (OR, 1.314; 95% CI, 1.035-1.667), and dyslipidemia (OR, 1.251; 95% CI, 1.006-1.555) were independently associated with OSA but not with SSD. Similarly, the interactions of OSA with SSD were not significant. An additional analysis using < 5 h for SSD or continuous sleep duration did not change the lack of association with the cardiometabolic risk factors. CONCLUSIONS: Objective SSD but not OSA was independently associated with daytime sleepiness. By contrast, OSA, but not SSD, was independently associated with obesity, hypertension, and dyslipidemia.
