【 摘 要 】

Introduction: The factors that favor and can trigger cardiovascular diseases are of great interest given their high morbidity and mortality in the population. In this paper, a literature review is carried out to verify whether sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (SAHS) acts as a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases in adults. It is important to show if there is a correlation because sleep apneas are very prevalent in the population, increase with age and their diagnosis and treatment are simple.Objectives: To verify if SAHS is a cardiovascular risk factor in adults. Results: The association of SAHS with hypertension, cerebrovascular, cardiovascular, arrhythmia and sudden death in adults has been studied. It has been shown that apneas act as a risk factor independently for these pathologies and that CPAP treatment improves the clinical and decreases the risk of mortality from cardiovascular diseases.Conclusions: Although an abnormal respiratory pattern predisposes to cardiovascular disease, SAHS is not confirmed as a cardiovascular risk factor
