Detailed Description

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a frequently under diagnosed condition that has emerged as an increasing medical problem with important social and financial implications worldwide. OSA is a well established risk factor for systemic hypertension , myocardial infarction or stroke.

Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is characterized by repetitive collapse of the upper airway during sleep .The obstructive apneic event is associated with considerable breathing efforts against a totally or partially occluded upper airway, and apnea is terminated by an arousal and heavy snoring as airflow is restored. Severity of OSAS is described according to total number of apneas and hyperpneas per hour of sleep, which is named as the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI).

Cardiovascular disturbances are the most serious complications of OSAS. These complications include heart failure, acute myocardial infarction, nocturnal arrhythmias, stroke, systemic and pulmonary hypertension. All these cardiovascular complications increase morbidity and mortality of OSAS.

Currently, sleep apnea is accepted as one of the identifiable causes of hypertension. Also, OSAS is closely associated with obesity and ageing.

There is conclusive evidence that OSAS influences right heart function (the pathophysiological consequences of sleep apnea-hypopnea might result in an imbalance in myocardial oxygen delivery/consumption ratio, activation of sympathetic and other neurohormonal systems, and increased right and left ventricular after load )

Design Details

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Intervention / Treatment
obstructive sleep apnea patients
number of 90 patients will be investigated by 2D echocardiography and cardiac MRI to determine the right ventricle function
imaging of right ventricle by both modalities to assess right ventricle function accurately
healthy volunteers
number of 10 subjects will be investigated by 2D echocardiography and cardiac MRI to determine right ventricular function in healthy persons have risk factors other than cardiac or lung diseases
imaging of right ventricle by both modalities to assess right ventricle function accurately

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
The RV function in subjects with OSA compared with healthy persons
Time Frame: 1 year
Assessment of RV function by cardiac MRI in OSA patients and healthy volunteers
1 year

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Early detection of any impairment in cardiac global function in the participants before causing symptoms.
Time Frame: 1 year
Cardiac MRI help to detect early cardiac dysfunction before symptoms appear which causes. Early detection equal early management which will improve the cardiac prognosis
1 year
