Abstract Background Although the prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) syndrome is high in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS), little is known about central sleep apnea (CSA) in these patients, especially if they have no left ventricular dysfunction (indeed, it is well known that heart failure could be a confounding factor as it is an important cause of CSA). Furthermore, central apnea could be promoted by ticagrelor, a relatively new drug, already known to cause dyspnea (which could modify the apneic threshold) in some patients. Purpose To investigate the prevalence of central sleep apnea in patients without left ventricular dysfunction after ACS. Methods Monocentric prospective survey. All consecutive patients within 365 days after ACS were included if they had (1) left ventricular ejection fraction LVEF >45%, (2) no history of heart failure, (3) systolic arterial pulmonary artery pressure <45 mm Hg, and (4) no history of sleep apnea. After inclusion, patients underwent an overnight sleep study with a portable sleep monitor validated to differentiate central and obstructive apneas. Patients were then classified as “normal” patients if they had an AHI (apnea hypopnea index) <15, “CSA patients” if they had an AHI >15 with a majority of central sleep apneas and “OSA patients” if they had an AHI >15 with a majority of obstructive sleep apneas. Results Between January 2018 and January, 2020, we included 115 consecutive patients (age 56.1±10.5, male 84%, mean body mass index 28.4±4.5, LVEF: 56±4%). Sleep study was performed 68±62 days (7–350 days) after ACS on average. All of the patients were receiving a single or (mostly) dual antiplatelet therapy: aspirin (n=114: 99%, ticagrelor (n=80: 69.5%), clopidogrel (n=28: 24%), prasugrel (n=4: 3.5%). Finally 80 patients were taking ticagrelor, while 35 were not. A total of 49/115 patients (42.6%) had a clinically significant (moderate to severe) sleep disordered breathing, with an AHI>15: (CSA: n=27/115: 23.5%, OSA:n=22/115: 19%). Among them, 25/115 patients (22%) had a severe (AHI >30) sleep disordered breathing: CSA 12% OSA: 10%. Among patients receiving ticagrelor, 24/80 (30%) had a CSA with an AHI >15, while, in patients not taking ticagrelor only 3/35 (8.5%) had CSA with an AHI >15 (p=0.04) Conclusion As expected, OSA is frequent after ACS, as in all types of coronary artery disease patients. High prevalence of CSA was less expected and seemed to be correlated with ticagrelor administration. This monocentric survey is a preliminary safety signal. Further studies are needed to investigate the exact incidence, the sustainability and the potential consequences of ticagrelor induced central sleep apnea.

Abstract Background Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is closely related to the incidence and progression of coronary artery disease (CAD), but the mechanisms linking OSA and CAD are unclear. C1q/TNF-related protein-9 (CTRP9) is a novel adipokine that protects the heart against ischemic injury and ameliorates cardiac remodeling. Purpose We aimed to ascertain the clinical relevance of CTRP9 with OSA prevalence in patients with CAD. Methods From August 2016 to March 2019, consecutive eligible patients with CAD (n=154; angina pectoris, n=88; acute myocardial infarction [AMI], n=66) underwent cardiorespiratory polygraphy during hospitalization. OSA was defined as an apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) ≥15 events h–1. Plasma CTRP9 concentrations were measured by ELISA method. Results OSA was present in 89 patients (57.8%). CTRP9 levels were significantly decreased in the OSA group than in the non-OSA group (4.7 [4.1–5.2] ng/mL vs. 4.9 [4.4–6.0] ng/mL, P=0.003). The difference between groups was only observed in patients with AMI (3.0 [2.3–4.9] vs. 4.5 [3.2–7.9], P=0.009), but not in patients with AP (5.0 [4.7–5.3] ng/mL vs. 5.1 [4.7–5.9] ng/mL, P=0.571) (Figure 1). Correlation analysis showed that CTRP9 levels were negatively correlated with AHI (r=−0.238, P=0.003) and oxygen desaturation index (r=−0.234, P=0.004), and positively correlated with left ventricular ejection fraction (r=0.251, P=0.004) in all subjects. Multivariate analysis showed that male gender (OR 3.099, 95% CI 1.029–9.330, P=0.044), body mass index (OR 1.148, 95% CI 1.040–1.268, P=0.006), and CTRP9 levels (OR 0.726, 95% CI 0.592–0.890, P=0.002) were independently associated with the prevalence of OSA. Conclusions Plasma CTRP9 levels were independently related to the prevalence of OSA in patients with CAD, suggesting that CTRP9 might play a role in the pathogenesis of CAD exacerbated by OSA.
