Abstract
Hypoxaemia occurs with sloop apnoea and might induce nocturnal angina. Sleep apnoea was found in 9 of 10 patients with nocturnal angina pect oris. Nocturnal angina diminished during treatment of sleep apnoea by continuous positive airway-pressure, and the number of nocturnal myoca rdial ischaemic events measured by computerised vector-cardiography wa s reduced.
