What is the relationship between snoring and cardiovascular disease?

Cardiovascular disease is a serious threat to human health. Such as high blood pressure, coronary heart disease, etc., referred to the incentive for cardiovascular disease, the public usually think of smoking, diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and family history, but snoring to the health of the threat is very easy to be ignored.

According to the US "Daily Science" website reported on the 15th, the University of Michigan Health System Cardiovascular Center of the Melvin? Dr. Lubenfur said more and more people are concerned about sleep apnea or sleep disturbances because of the close association between heart disease, stroke and other cardiovascular diseases.

In fact, the relationship between snoring and cardiovascular disease is also two-way, the heart of the problem are mostly patients with sleep disorders.

Severe snoring is not only boring, but also the risk of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. The patient will briefly stop breathing after falling asleep, causing heart failure and stroke.

Snoring is caused by airway stenosis, the air flow through the narrow airway when the eddy current caused by vibration. Snoring airways are usually narrower than normal, during the day when the throat muscle compensatory contraction to keep the airway open, no clogging. But the nerve at night when the nerve excitement decline, muscle relaxation, pharyngeal tissue blockage, so that the airway collapse, when the air through the narrow parts, resulting in eddy current and cause vibration, resulting in snoring, severe breathing can be temporarily stopped, affecting the snorer Of health.

Snoring, is also a disease, called sleep apnea syndrome. The brain can stimulate the breath of chemicals will stop at the time of snoring, when the lack of such incentives, people usually stop breathing. And when the breath is temporarily stopped, people's body oxygen will drop sharply, hormones and adrenaline will surge. These hormones can lead to high blood pressure, arrhythmia, and even heart disease.

Luben Van der, said heart failure can cause obstructive sleep apnea, and obstructive sleep apnea will increase the burden on the heart, so that heart failure becomes more serious. Previous studies published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology have shown that the risk of heart attack and stroke in snoring women is twice that of snoring women.
