Risk of obstructive sleep apnea and mean values of neuroendocrine measures. The bar graphs illustrate the significant differences in epinephrine (p = 0.015), norepinephrine (p = 0.049) and cortisol (p = 0.001) levels between subjects with high (n = 77) vs. low (n = 113) risk of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), expressed as geometric mean values with 95% confidence interval. Adjustments were made for age, sex, education, Charlson comorbidity index, positive history of hypertension/high cholesterol/depression, body mass index, smoking, alcohol consumption, physical activity, previous myocardial infarction (MI), ST-segment MI, number of stenotic coronary arteries, Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events risk score, acute distress, and sleep difficulties
