Résumé
. Sleep apnea (SA) is a common breathing disorder characterized by repetitive upper airway narrowing and closure. Although SA has been demonstrated to be an independent risk factor for all-cause mortality, the direct contribution of SA to worse cardiovascular prognosis may be difficult to evaluate, and its independent association with the different types of cardiovascular outcomes may be debated, particularly in the context of patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The aim of this study was to assess the impact of known SA on the outcomes of hospitalized patients who have had an AMI by analyzing 10-year data collected from a national registry. . This longitudinal cohort study was based on the national hospitalization database that covers hospital care for the entire French population, including all patients admitted with AMI from January 2010 to June 2019. The clinical outcomes for the analysis were as follows: all-cause death, cardiovascular death, ischemic stroke, new-onset atrial fibrillation (FA), and re-hospitalization for heart failure (HF). . Among the 797,212 patients who presented with an AMI (528,351 men and 268,861 women), 37,075 (4.7%) had documented SA. During follow-up (mean [SD] 1.8 [2.4] years, median [interquartile range] 0.7 [0.1-3.1] years), 163,845 deaths (of which 85,649 were cardiovascular deaths), 20,168 ischemic strokes, 58,498 new-onset AF, and 92,381 rehospitalizations due to HF were recorded. Patients with known SA had a worse prognosis in the short and medium term, but after adjusting for all covariables, SA was only independently associated with a higher risk of rehospitalization for HF and new-onset AF in men and women. . Data from our large nationwide analysis confirm that known SA is associated with poor cardiovascular outcomes in patients who have had an AMI. However, this impact is tem-pered when the model is adjusted for age, cardiovascular risk, or other covariables. Further studies need to be conducted to assess the independent impact of SA on the prognosis of patients with AMI.
