Individuals with severe sleep related breathing disorders (SRBD) tend to experience intermittent hypoxia, sleep fragmentation and highly fluctuating intrathoracic pressures. Chronic exposure to these stressors sensitizes the parasympathetic system while suppressing the sympathetic system. Parasympathetic over-reactivity among patients with severe sleep related breathing disorders has been proposed as a predisposing factor for neurally mediated syncope. Goal: We sought to determine the relative risk for neurally mediated syncope in patients with severe SRBD compared to the general population. Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study of 228 cases selected from 2,598 patients who were referred for polysomnography on discharge from hospitalization. Incidence of neurally mediated syncope (NMS) was compared between patients with apneahypopnea-index (AHI) scores of 30 or greater and those with an AHI score below 5. Results: Approximately 32% of patients with severe SRBD had a history of neurally mediated syncope compared to only 14% in patients with normal sleep breathing patterns (OR = 3.09, 95% CI: 1.25 7.62, p = 0.015). Conclusion: Our multi-center retrospective study supports an association between SRBD and NMS.
