Sleep Apnea: Types, Mechanisms, and Clinical Cardiovascular Consequences.

Background: Sleep apnea is a condition that interrupts breathing while sleeping, usually caused by an obstruction blocking the back of the throat so that the air cannot reach the lungs. The brief cessation in breath automatically forces individuals to wake up and restart breathing. This can happen many times during the night, making it hard for the body to get enough oxygen, and impacts the sleep quality. It is the most common type of sleep disorder breathing. Objectives: The present study was designed to investigate the effects of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) on different mental, physical and nervous disorders which are manifested in such patients. This study would not only benefit in ascertaining the causes of OSA through assessment of higher mental functions of autonomic and peripheral nervous systems but also in the development of algorithm for estimation of degree of damage to the nervous system with severity of OSA. Methods: The cohort by the of snoring and daytime of BMI, and circumference, clinical data as of insomnia, coronary overnight polysomnography cognitive function of mini-mental state the depression questionnaire self report The autonomic function tests were performed. Variabilities in heart rate were determined. Brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels in the blood were measured. Results: The study group had of while the differences
