Fig. 1From: Association of sleep problems with neuroendocrine hormones and coagulation factors in patients with acute myocardial infarctionRisk 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 difficultiesBack to article page
