Currently, obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) has been proven to be a risk factor for arterial hypertension, since 50% of patients with sleep apnea have high blood pressure . An inverse relationship was also noted – in 30% of patients with hypertension, obstructive sleep apnea syndrome is observed . In…
Recent studies have established a link between arterial hypertension and the presence of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSA, or sleep apnea disease) in patients. Each cessation of breathing in the syndrome of obstructive sleep apnea leads to a short-term drop in the saturation (saturation) of blood hemoglobin with oxygen. Hundreds…
If we talk about the causes of cardiac arrhythmias, then there can be a huge variety of them. In this article, we would like to discuss one of them, which is given undeservedly little attention in the medical literature. We are talking about the syndrome of obstructive sleep apnea (a…
The pauses in breathing during sleep, observed in obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS), are the cause of cardiac arrhythmias. In a patient whose breathing periodically stops during sleep against the background of snoring, episodes of sinus bradycardia, sinus tachycardia, atrioventricular blockades, ventricular and atrial extrasystoles are often detected. Changes in…

Healthy sleep is a sleep after which a person feels alert and rested. At the same time, the duration is not a determining factor in its quality: the needs for rest are individual for everyone, therefore there is no single answer for everyone how long healthy sleep should last. For…
A pulse oximeter is a medical device that measures arterial oxygen saturation. Why is this needed? The essence of the method Pulse oximetry measures arterial oxygen saturation, or saturation. The device takes measurements as a percentage and shows the ratio of oxygen-enriched hemoglobin to the amount of total hemoglobin in…
Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome is manifested by snoring and respiratory arrest during sleep. The disease is accompanied by severe daytime sleepiness, restless, unrefreshing sleep, increased blood pressure (especially in the morning), headache, night sweats, frequent nighttime urination, decreased performance, irritability, impaired potency, depressive conditions. The disease 5 times increases the risk…
