阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停综合征是一种常见的睡眠呼吸紊乱疾病,以夜间睡眠时反复发生间断性缺氧-低通气为主要特征。阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停综合征与主动脉疾病包括主动脉扩张、胸主动脉瘤、腹主动脉瘤及主动脉夹层等关系密切。本文就阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停综合征与主动脉疾病之间的关系及机制的研究进展作一综述。 Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome is a common sleep-disordered breathing disorder characterized by recurrent intermittent hypoxia-hypopnea during nighttime sleep. Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome and aortic disease, including aortic dilatation, thoracic aortic aneurysm, abdominal aortic aneurysm and aortic dissection are closely related. This article reviews the relationship between obstructive sleep apnea syndrome and aortic disease and its mechanism.
