Abstract
PURPOSE: Analyzing sleep quality and sleep structure in patients with patent foramen ovale (PFO) complicated with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and the interaction between OSA and PFO in sleep. METHODS: We compared patients with PFO complicated with OSA, patients with simple PFO, and controls. Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index was used to compare sleep quality and polysomnography was used to compare sleep structure of the three groups. RESULTS: Compared with the control group (n = 62), PFO with OSA (n = 48) and simple PFO (n = 61) groups had more frequent occurrence of poor sleep quality (χ2 = 89.901; p < 0.001). These two groups also showed decreased sleep efficiency (p < 0.010), lower percentages of REM sleep, and reduced N3 sleep (p < 0.050). The N2 sleep was prolonged (p < 0.010). The nocturnal lowest SpO2 was lower and the oxygen desaturation index was higher (p < 0.50). Compared with the simple PFO group, the poor sleep quality was more frequent in the PFO with OSA group; sleep latency (p < 0.001) was prolonged; wake after sleep onset (p < 0.001) and arousal times (p = 0.031) were increased; and sleep micro-arousal index (p = 0.037), periodic leg movement index (p = 0.024), and apnea hypopnea index (p < 0.001) were higher in the PFO with OSA group. CONCLUSION: Patients with PFO and OSA have poor sleep quality with changes in sleep stage and high occurrence rate of sleep disorders. OSA further deteriorates sleep quality and alters sleep structure in patients with PFO.
