Abstract：Objective To investigate the clinical relationship between obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) and combined cardiovascular diseases, and analyze the causes of misdiagnosis and non-standard treatment for drawing attention to in clinic. Methods The patients (n=69) were diagnosed they had OSAHS after sleep apnea detection, and then divided into mild group, medium group and severe group according to apnea hypopnea index (AHI). A survey on current situation of disease cognition and standardized treatment was carried out. Results Among 69 patients, there were 54 (78.26%) with 2 complicating diseases, and 36 (58.17%) with 3 complicating diseases. The comparison in 2 complicating diseases among 3 groups showed that as the exacerbating of OSAHS, the cases with 2 complicating diseases increased (χ2=12.99, P<0.01). The cases with 3 complicating diseases increased significantly in severe group compared with mild group (χ2=5.38, P<0.05). The patients in all groups did not know that OSAHS is a high harmful disease, and awareness rate was 4.35%and rate of treatment was 2.99%. Conclusion OSAHS is commonly accompanied by many cardiovascular diseases, and as OSAHS exacerbates, the types of complicating diseases will increase. At present the most patients are short of cognition on OSAHS, misdiagnosed rate is high and rate of treatment is low.
