But YR 2013 UL http://erj.ersjournals.com/content/42/Suppl_57/P2573.abstract AB Purpose:to define the correlation between degree of cardiovascular risk, obstructive sleep apnea syndrome(OSAS), and frequency of arrhythmias in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases(COPD).Design:were examined 42 patients in the age of 57,63±2,78 years with COPD stage II(83%) and stage III(17%)(GOLD 2011). Duration of disease was 11-23 years.64% of patients were smoking, index of smoking-15,3±0,52 pack-years. Control group included 15 practically healthy persons. Basic therapy was held according to GOLD2011.Methods:Holter monitor test with spectral analysis of heart rhythm variability, rheopneumography with definition of apnoea/hypopnoea index(AHI), six-minute walk test(6MWT), calculation of cardiovascular risk according to the scale SCORE.Results:69% of patients had OSAS of mild and 24% - of moderate stage(p<0,05). Patients had from 163 to 2282 cases of cardiac rhythm disturbances within 24 hours: 54% - atrioventricular, 46%– ventricular extrasystoles. 62% of patients had ventricular late potentials. Were revealed correlations between AHI and 6MWT(r=-0,5684;p<0,05); Valt(r=0,7884;p<0,05); RMS40(r=-0,46;p<0,05), LAS40(r=0,72;p<0,05); rMSSD(r=0,6715;p<0,05), HFn.n.(r=0,81;p<0,05), cardiovascular risk(r=0,7618;p<0,05). Patients had evidently increased risk for fatal complications according to the scale SCORE(r=0,7853;p<0,05): high risk level in 12,6% and very high ten years' risk in 71% of cases.Conclusions:93% of patients with COPD had OSAS, evidently increased risk for life threatening arrhythmias and fatal complications.
