Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality throughout the world. The coexistence of COPD and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) (i.e., overlap syndrome) has been reported in several studies. Both disorders independently increase the risk of cardiovascular complications. Hence, there is a theoretical possibility that cardiovascular parameters may be worse in patients with overlap syndrome compared to those with only COPD. However, this has been sparsely assessed in the literature. This study aimed to compare the clinical characteristics, echocardiography, and sleep parameters amongst COPD patients with and without sleep-related breathing disorders (SRBD). This observational, cross-sectional study included 30 patients with stable COPD. All participants underwent a detailed clinical evaluation, followed by level 1 polysomnography (PSG). Each participant underwent echocardiographic evaluation to estimate mean pulmonary artery pressure from right ventricular systolic pressure (RVSP). Based on their PSG findings, participants were classified into non-SRBD and SRBD groups. Both groups were further compared with respect to clinical characteristics, echocardiographic, and PSG parameters. We found that most of the participants (93.3%) were male, and the mean age of the study population was 56±8.2 years. The only SRBD identified in this study was OSA, which was observed in 80% of participants. In this group, OSA was not associated with obesity. Systemic hypertension (50%) was the most common comorbidity, followed by diabetes mellitus (26.67%), but both were not significantly different between the groups. The mean RVSP was significantly higher amongst OSA patients than non-OSA patients (41.25±14.98 versus 30.83±5.84, respectively; p=0.01). OSA was seen in 80% of participants with stable COPD, even in the absence of obesity. The presence of OSA was associated with a higher RVSP in this patient group.
