Abstract Introduction Only few studies looked for a possible association of cardiovascular disorders (CVD), in comorbid insomnia with obstructive sleep apnea (COMISA) even though this is a relevant topic in order to prevent one of the major causes of morbimortality. The present study aimed to investigate the association of insomnia symptoms in patients at risk for obstructive sleep apnea in terms of prevalence and clinical interactions and to evaluate the risk of CVD in patients with a risk for COMISA. Methods This is a cross-sectional study. All medical records with data such as age, sex, height, weight and BMI, time to sleep, time to wake up, total sleep time, the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), STOP-BANG Questionnaires were studied. Insomnia and comorbidities were also investigated, and the patientsanswered yes or no to systemic arterial hypertension, diabetes, CVD. Results 685 patients were enrolled on the present study. We observed that the mild, moderate, and high risk for COMISA presented progressively increasing levels for the frequency of hypertension, diabetes, and CVD. A binary logistic regression was performed to assess whether risk for COMISA could be a predictor for CVD, and it was found that the model containing risk for COMISA was statistically significant: [x2(1)=5.273;p<0.021, R2 Negelkerke=0.014]. Risk for COMISA presented itself as a significant predictor for CVD (OR=1.672; 95% CI=1.079–2.592). Conclusion There was an increased frequency of associated comorbidities such as CVD, systemic arterial hypertension, and diabetes, according to the mild, moderate, or high risk. These findings highlight the need for a cardiometabolic evaluation in patients with this comorbid condition which may impact prognosis and therapeutic success. Support (if any):

Abstract Introduction Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS) is a complex neurogenetic disorder characterized by hypotonia, behavioral problems, endocrinopathies, sleep and respiratory abnormalities. Morbidity and mortality in the PWS population is attributable to obesity, cardiovascular problems, and sleep apnea. We report a patient with PWS presenting with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) due to untreated obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Report of case(s) Our patient is a 17-year-old female with a past medical history of PWS, scoliosis, obesity (BMI 52.46), hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, and type II diabetes. Baseline echocardiogram (ECHO) performed at age 9 revealed an estimated right ventricular systolic pressure (eRVSP) of 32mmHg above right atrial pressure (RAP), tricuspid regurgitation (TR) at 2.8 m/sec with no interventricular septal flattening (IVSF) and right ventricle (RV) systolic dysfunction suggestive of mild PAH. Given significant scoliosis the patient did not qualify for growth hormone therapy. She underwent a polysomnogram (PSG) at age 14 showing severe obstructive sleep apnea; apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) of 22.6 (oAHI 22.6). Patient was subsequently lost to follow up until presenting in acute respiratory failure at age 17. She required endotracheal intubation and was extubated to bilevel PAP (BPAP) with inability to wean off BPAP. At that time an ECHO revealed eRVSP of 55 mmHg above RAP, IVSF, TR at 3.7 m/sec, and RV systolic dysfunction suggestive of moderate to severe PAH and developing right sided heart failure. A PAP titration PSG during this admission revealed hypoxemia with oxygen saturation less than 90% (O2 nadir 70%) 12.6% of total sleep time (TST) and hypoventilation (transcutaneous CO2 max of 57 mmHg with an elevation above 50 mmHg for 100% of TST). Using an inspiratory PAP (IPAP) of 24 cmH2O and expiratory PAP (EPAP) of 14 cmH20 with supplemental O2 of 4LPM the respiratory events and hypoxemia resolved but there was persistence of hypoventilation. Tadalafil was initiated for PAH and BPAP therapy for OSA. Follow up visits 4- and 8-weeks post discharge shows improving PAH (TR 3.6 m/sec, eRSVP 52 mmHg, and mild IVSF) due to BPAP and tadalafil therapies. Conclusion This case highlights the importance of treating OSA in patients with PWS to prevent cardiorespiratory complications and reduce morbidity and mortality. Support (if any) None
