Obstructive Sleep Apnea Is Associated with Increased Myocardial Scar Burden in Patients with Obstructive Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy
After adjusting for clinical variables, AHI, OSA presence, and severity were associated with increased myocardial scar burden (reflected by LGE%) in patients with obstructive HCM. Further clinical trials are needed to assess whether OSA treatment reduces adverse clinical events in this population.
