摘要
目的研究阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停(OSA)患者夜间睡眠时自主神经功能的状态,以及有效的持续正压通气治疗对自主神经张力的影响。方法对56例重度OSA患者持续正压通气(CPAP)治疗前和治疗中进行夜间7小时多导睡眠图(PSG)及动态心电图监测,另择30名正常受试者作为对照。采用心率功率谱分析法(HRPSA)定量分析OSA患者治疗前后夜间自主神经功能的变化。结果OSA组夜间睡眠时伴随着反复的呼吸暂停和低氧血症,低频(LF)及高频(HF)值逐渐增高,与对照组比较差异有显著性(LF为1383±305∶125±64,P<0.001;HF为662±190∶163±78,P<0.001),表明交感神经和副交感神经张力均明显增高。夜间平均LF/HF比率在较高水平(211±101),与对照组(087±064)比较差异有显著性(P<0.05),说明以交感神经张力增加更为显著。经过有效的CPAP治疗,OSA患者LF(221±81)、HF(221±108)明显降低(P<0.001)。结论OSA患者夜间有自主神经功能紊乱。
Objective Heart rate power spectral analysis (HRPSA) can provide information of sympathetic and vagus activities. The aim of the study was to investigate nocturnal variations of autonomic nervous system (ANS) before and during continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment in patients with OSA. Method 56 subjects with severe OSA were recruited to undergo 7hour nocturnal polysomnography and ECG monitoring in sleep lab before and during CPAP treatment. 30 subjects without OSA were included as controls. Subjects were excluded if they were receiving medications known to influence ANS activities. ANS was evaluated by HRPSA. Result In addition to repeated sleep apneas and oxygen desaturations, mean areas of LF (1 383±305) and HF (662±190) in OSA subjects were significantly higher than those in the controls (LF 125±64, P<0.001; HF 163±78, P<0.001). With effective CPAP treatment, LF (221±81) and HF (221±108) decreased remarkably (P<0.001, separately) and reached the levels of controls (P>0.05, separately). Conclusion The results suggested that nocturnal ANS activities are abnormal in patients with OSA, especially the enhancement of sympathetic nervous activity. Fluctuation of ANS induced by apnea and oxygen desaturation may explain the association between OSA and cardiovascular diseases. CPAP treatment is effective in improving ANS activities by way of eliminating apnea and reversing hypoxemia.
