The hypoxic burden of sleep apnoea predicts cardiovascular disease-related mortality: the Osteoporotic Fractures in Men Study and the Sleep Heart Health Study
“We developed an OSA severity measure, the hypoxic burden, which we believe better characterizes the underlying pathology of OSA and is associated with an increased risk of CVD mortality independent of the AHI and multiple confounding variables. These data show that hypoxic burden appears to be a better measure of OSA severity with respect to the CVD consequences of disordered breathing.”
