Beyond randomised studies
(2020)
Aim To determine the prevalence of, and the risk factors for, sleep apnoea in cardiac rehabilitation (CR) facilities in Germany.
Methods 1152 patients presenting for CR were screened for sleep-disordered breathing with 2-channel polygraphy (ApneaLink; ResMed). Parameters recorded included the apnoea-hypopnoea index (AHI), number of desaturations per hour of recording (ODI), mean and minimum nocturnal oxygen saturation and number of snoring episodes. Patients rated subjective sleep quality on a scale from 1 (poor) to 10 (best) and completed the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS).
Results Clinically significant sleep apnoea (AHI 15/h) was documented in 33% of patients. Mean AHI was 1416/h (range 0-106/h). Sleep apnoea was defined as being of moderate severity in 18% of patients (AHI 15-29/h) and severe in 15% (AHI 30/h). There were small, but statistically significant, differences in ESS score and subjective sleep quality between patients with and without sleep apnoea. Logistic regression model analysis identified the following as risk factors for sleep apnoea in CR patients: age (per 10 years) (odds ratio (OR) 1.51; p<0.001), body mass index (per 5 units) (OR 1.31; p=0.001), male gender (OR 2.19; p<0.001), type 2 diabetes mellitus (OR 1.45; p=0.040), haemoglobin level (OR 0.91; p=0.012) and witnessed apnoeas (OR 1.99; p<0.001).
Conclusions The findings of this study indicate that more than one-third of patients undergoing cardiac rehabilitation in Germany have sleep apnoea, with one-third having moderate-to-severe SDB that requires further evaluation or intervention. Inclusion of sleep apnoea screening as part of cardiac rehabilitation appears to be appropriate.

Hintergrund
Eine Verlängerung der Lebens- und Arbeitszeit erfordert einen aktiven Lebensstil, eine Optimierung von kardiovaskulären Risikofaktoren und psychosoziale Unterstützung chronisch Herzkranker.
Fragestellung
Können die Prognose und Lebensqualität sowie die soziale oder berufliche Teilhabe kardiovaskulär Erkrankter durch kardiologische Rehabilitation (KardReha) verbessert werden?
Material und Methode
Auf der Grundlage neuer Metaanalysen und aktueller Positionspapiere gibt die S3-Leitlinie zur kardiologischen Rehabilitation evidenzbasierte Empfehlungen.
Ergebnisse
Eine KardReha reduziert bei Patienten nach akutem Koronarsyndrom, nach PCI („percutaneous coronary interventions“) oder nach aortokoronarer Koronarbypassoperation (ACB-Op.) sowie nach Klappenkorrektur die Gesamtsterblichkeit. Bei Patienten mit systolischer Herzinsuffizienz (HFrEF [„heart failure with reduced ejection fraction“]) werden Belastbarkeit und Lebensqualität durch eine KardReha verbessert. Psychosozialer Distress kann verringert und die berufliche Wiedereingliederung besser strukturiert werden.
Schlussfolgerung
Im Jahr 2019 liegen aktuelle, evidenzbasierte Leitlinien vor, die aufgrund verbesserter Prognose, Belastbarkeit und Lebensqualität eine multimodale kardiologische Rehabilitation bei Patienten nach akutem kardialem Ereignis auch bei technischem Fortschritt (z. B. katheterbasierter Klappenkorrektur) und unter Aspekten der sozialen und beruflichen Teilhabe empfehlen.
