| Objective To investigate the level of the atherosclerosis and inflammatory response indicators in the patients of hypertension with different degrees of OSAHS. Methods The patients were collected from August 2013 to August 2016 in our hospital. Sleep apnea was monitored and the patients were randomly divided into four groups according to apnea hypopnea index (AHI), namely, control group, mild OSAHS group, moderate OSAHS group and severe OSAHS group. TC, HDL, AI, hs-CRP, IMT and ABIwere detected. The hs-CPR, IMT, ABI and AI were compared. Results There was no difference in IMT, hs-CRP, ABI and AI between the control group and mild OSAHS group (P>0.05). IMT, hs-CRP, and AI in the moderate group and severe OSAHS groupincreased significantly and ABI significantly decreased (P<0.05). Among all the groups, the severe OSAHS group was the most serious. Conclusion The patients of hypertension with OSAHS are severe in atherosclerosis and inflammation index, especially hypertension with severe AHI patients. So hypertension with OSAHSis markedly related to atherosclerosis and inflammation. |
