Women who snore have a higher risk of developing heart disease, a new study has warned.

Researchers from Munich University Hospital have discovered a link between a sleep disorder called obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and snoring.

OSA causes an increased risk for ventricular dysfunction in the heart - and worryingly, may be vastly under-diagnosed among snorers.

In the study, the researchers analysed data from 4,877 UK patients who had received a cardiac MRI.
Of those patients, 118 had OSA, 1,886 were self-reported snorers, 2,477 did not have OSA or snore, and 396 were discounted.

Dr Adrian Curta, who led the study, explained: “Our analysis showed that in both genders of the OSA and snoring groups there was an increase in left ventricular mass, meaning that the walls of the heart's main pumping chamber are enlarged, making the heart work harder.”

The results also showed that this effect was far more common in women than in men.

Dr Curta added: “We found that the cardiac parameters in women appear to be more easily affected by the disease and that women who snore or have OSA might be at greater risk for cardiac involvement.
“We also found that the prevalence of diagnosed OSA in the study group was extremely low.
“Together with the alterations in cardiac function in the snoring group, it leads us to believe that OSA may be grossly under-diagnosed.”

The findings suggest that snoring may be the first sign of an evolving process leading to cardiac issues.

The researchers hope their findings will encourage people who snore to get screened for OSA.

Many no sabi say dem dey snore,

Anybody who snores has a high risk of developing a cardiovascular disease.

Snoring is just a marker, doesnt mean everybody who snores has that risk.

Thank God, this is the opportunity i have been waiting to dump that Nkechi

I sure say my mama no follow for this study. Cos the woman dey snore like train and the funniest part be say she dey always dey stronger when she wake. Lol
Happy new month

Men who snore nko?

Life is already hard for a woman, y'all should allow us fart and snore in peace abeg. All die be die

The snoring itself is a symptom of cardiovascular issue, so what are you saying?

The airways is blocked, hence the oxygen from the blood is finding it difficult, hence the heart is struggling. Not that they're at risk of having it, rather they've it already

Simply Because you're professors and experts is not an enough reason to be giving us stupid talks oh

Let's get this to our wives and gf. Let them prevent it before it causes something you can't handle.
One Love.

Very terrible. It's peculiar with obese women. Obesity on it's own is a contributing factor in most cardiac-Pulmonary disorders eg, HHD,OSA... etc.

Ok
