The correlation between coronary artery disease (CAD) and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) was investigated to analyze its risk factors. A total of 84 patients with suspected CAD due to chest tightness and pain or nocturnal angina, were selected. They were admitted and received coronary angiography in The Affiliated Hospital of Medical College Qingdao University from March, 2016 to June, 2017. The vital signs were monitored, and the sleep monitoring was performed before and after coronary angiography. Before angiography, the fasting blood was drawn for blood biochemical detection, followed by routine electrocardiogram and echocardiographic examination. In addition, the body mass index was calculated and whether patients suffered from hypertension and diabetes mellitus was observed. The patients were divided into the control group (patients with a negative coronary angiography) and the CAD group (patients with a positive coronary angiography). There were 34 cases in the control group, including 21 cases of OSAS (61.76%), and 50 in the CAD group, including 40 cases of OSAS (80.00%). Statistical analysis revealed that there were statistically significant differences in the apnea hypopnea index (AHI), lowest oxygen saturation, degree of coronary stenosis (Gensini score) and triglyceride level between the two groups (P<0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in the cholesterol level and prevalence rates of hypertension and diabetes mellitus between the two groups. Logistic regression analysis revealed that smoking and AHI >20 were the risk factors of CAD (OR=7.036 and 5.377). Thus, CAD is closely correlated with OSAS and AHI >20 is one of the risk factors of CAD.
