Objective:The aim of this study is to discuss the relations between obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) and severity and prognosis of coronary artery disease. Method:The OSAHS patients were divided into mild, moderate and severe groups according to Results of sleep monitoring. The severity of coronary artery lesion in each group was compared by counting the numbers of the lesion extension of coronary artery, calculating the Gensin score and evaluating the Thromblysis in myocardial infarction. The patients were followed up within 2 years, the incidence of major clinical cardiac adverse events was compared between each groups. Result:Three groups confirmed the numbers of the lesion extension of coronary artery and Gensin score increased, the Thromblysis in myocardial infarction reduced with the seriousness of OSAHS by coronary angiography (P<0.05). There was no statistical significance in compliance for oral use of three groups (P>0.05). Incidence of the main adverse cardiac events during two years in three groups were16.28%, 29.36% and 44.26%. Incidence of the main adverse cardiac events increased with the seriousness of OSAHS (P<0.05). Conclusion:The coronary artery pathologic change severity aggravated with the seriousness of OSAHS,and the incidence of the main adverse cardiac events increased with the seriousness of OSAHS.
