Sleep Apnea, Coronary Atherosclerosis and Heart Failure in Diabetes Patients With Nephropathy (SLEEP)

4 februari 2022 uppdaterad av: University of Aarhus

Background:

Diabetes, and especially diabetic kidney disease is associated with the development of cardiovascular disease such as calcification in the coronary arteries and heart failure. Sleep apnea is frequent among patients with diabetes and diabetic kidney disease and sleep apnea itself is a solitary risk factor in the development of cardiovascular disease. Nonetheless, sleep apnea is underdiagnosed in diabetes patients because of a discrepancy between sleep apnea severity and actual oxygen deficiency symptoms which makes the diagnosis difficult. For that reason, many diabetics have undiagnosed sleep apnea together with cardiovascular disease. Early discovery of sleep apnea among high risk diabetic patients may therefore be considered crucial before cardiovascular complications develop. For this reason, sleep apnea screening of high-risk diabetics can possibly improve early diagnostics of cardiovascular disease.

Aim:

This study will seek to establish the association between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and coronary calcification and heart failure in patients with diabetic kidney disease. The basic hypothesis of the study is that patients with diabetic kidney disease and concurrent OSA have a higher prevalence and severity of coronary calcification and heart failure compared to patients without OSA.

Methods:

Diabetic adult patients with scheduled check-ups at Steno Diabetes Center Aarhus, or Department of Renal Medicine on Aarhus University Hospital will be included in the study.

Firstly, all included patients are screened for sleep apnea with the devices SomnoTouch® and ApneaLink®. Based on the sleep apnea determination; 40 patients with moderate-severe sleep apnea are compared with 40 patients without sleep apnea. In both groups, the patients are examined for calcification in the coronary vessels using a CT-scan while the function of the heart is examined by ultrasound (echocardiography). The stiffness of aorta is measured and performed using radial artery tonometry (SphygmoCor®).

Furthermore, range of blood- and urine samples will be performed

The perspectives are that patients with diabetes should be regularly evaluated for sleep apnea and that patients with moderate/severe sleep apnea should undergo further examination for cardiovascular disease even though the patients don't display any symptoms of either cardiovascular disease or sleep apnea.

Tidsram
The association between sleep apnea and coronary atherosclerosis (Agatston Score) measured with cardiac CT-scan in patients with diabetic nephropathy.
Tidsram: Cardiac CT-scan will be performed no later than 1 month after inclusion. All Agatston scores will be estimated straight after the cardiac CT-scan.

The degree of atherosclerosis in the coronary artery walls is evaluated by cardiac CT-scan and subsequent quantified by Agatston score. Patients with an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ≤ 25 ml/min/1,73 m2 is scanned without contrast whereas patients with an eGFR 26-60 ml/min/1,73 m2 are screened with contrast.

All Agatston scoring will be performed by a cardiologist blinded to information on patient biochemical characteristics and AHI. The only biochemical parameter which the cardiologist is not blinded to is eGFR.

Cardiac CT-scan will be performed no later than 1 month after inclusion. All Agatston scores will be estimated straight after the cardiac CT-scan.
