Lack of enough oxygen during sleep as is the case with sleep apnoea can cause health problems. Health problems are prominent in people with untreated sleep apnoea. A study has proven that patients with obstructive sleep apnoea have an elevated risk of heart attack.

Researchers led by Apoor S. Gami, MD, of Midwest Heart Specialists’ Advocate Groups of Illinois sought to identify the risk for heart disease and the effect of low oxygen saturation. Their findings were that patients with moderate sleep apnoea had an increased risk of dying from heart attack. Low oxygen saturation also associated with sleep apnoea increased the risk of a heart attack.
