Sleep-Disordered Breathing in Adults with Precapillary Pulmonary Hypertension: Prevalence and Predictors of Nocturnal Hypoxemia

ConclusionOur study found that the majority of the participants had some type of SDB with a marked predominance of OSA over CSA, while half of them had nocturnal desaturation. Neither clinical and hemodynamic parameters nor the RDI was a predictor of nocturnal desaturation, except for mPAP measured during a right heart catheterization, which emerged as the only independent and significant predictor of average SpO2.
