Objective To investigate the influence of obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) on curative effect and prognosis in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) after PCI. Methods The patients with AMI complicated by OSAHS (n=90) were chosen from Department of Cardiology in the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinxiang Medical College from Jan. 2019 to Aug. 2021. All patients were divided, according to severity of OSAHS, into severe group (n=18), moderate group (n=40) and mild group (n=32). Meanwhile the patients with only AMI (n=40) were chosen into control group. The sleep monitoring results, curative effect after PCI and incidence rates of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) were compared among 4 groups. Results As OSAHS exacerbated, the scores of hypopnea index (AHI) and Epworth sleepiness Scale (ESS) increased significantly and nighttime minimum blood oxygen saturation (SaO2) decreased significantly, and the comparison in scores of AHI, nighttime minimum SaO2 and ESS had statistical significance among 4 groups (P<0.05). As OSAHS exacerbated, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) decreased significantly, left ventricular end-systolic diameter (LVESD) and left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD) increased significantly, and the comparison in LVEF, LVESD and LVEDD had statistical significance among 4 groups before the operation and after operation for 3 months (P<0.05). The incidence rates of MACE were significantly higher in severe group than those in moderate group, mild group and control group (P<0.05). Conclusion The severity of OSAHS has many adverse effects on curative effect and short-term prognosis in AMI patients after PCI, so early control of OSAHS will be good for prognosis.
