Abstract
Due to the few studies available, this study aimed to investigate the 10-year risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) associated with COMISA (co-morbid insomnia and sleep apnea) in hypertensive subjects. Clinical data of 1009 hypertensive subjects extracted from the Sleep Laboratory database were analyzed. Framingham Risk Score ≥ 10% was used as a cut-off to identify hypertensive subjects with high 10-year risk for CVD. The association between 10-year risk for CVD and COMISA was investigated using logistic regression analyses. 65.3% of hypertensive subjects from our sample presented a high 10-year risk for CVD. After controlling for major confounding factors, multivariate logistic regression analyses demonstrated that unlike its components present separately, COMISA was significantly associated with high 10-year risk for CVD in hypertensive subjects (OR 1.88, 95% CI 1.01–3.51). In this study, we have demonstrated that the negative synergy between obstructive sleep apnea syndrome and insomnia disorder seems to play a central role in the 10-year risk for CVD in hypertensive subjects, which seems to indicate that the establishment of a systematic research and an adapted treatment of COMISA could open new perspectives to promote a better cardiovascular outcome in this specific subgroup of patients.
