Growing evidence suggests a pathophysiological link between OSA and coronary artery disease (CAD); however, the relationship between OSA severity and anatomical complexity of coronary lesions remains incompletely understood. Aim: The aim of this study is to assess the prevalence of OSA in patients undergoing coronary angiography and to evaluate the association between sleep-disordered breathing parameters and the severity of CAD expressed by the SYNTAX score. Methods: This prospective study enrolled 103 consecutive patients referred for invasive coronary angiography. All participants underwent overnight type III cardiorespiratory polygraphy. OSA severity was classified according to the Apnea\u2013Hypopnea Index (AHI). The anatomical complexity of CAD was assessed using the SYNTAX score. Linear regression analyses were performed to determine associations between polysomnographic parameters and SYNTAX score. Results: Significant CAD was diagnosed in 74.8% of patients. OSA was highly prevalent, with severe OSA observed in 36.4% of patients with significant CAD compared to 3.8% in those without significant stenoses (p = 0.003). Patients with significant CAD had higher AHI (18.8 vs. 13.5 events\/h; p = 0.003), higher oxygen desaturation index (ODI) (19.3 vs. 12.9 events\/h; p = 0.003), and greater mean oxygen desaturation (4.1% vs. 3.8%; p = 0.008). In multivariable regression analysis, AHI (B = 0.329; 95% CI [0.083, 0.576]; p = 0.009) and nicotinism (B = 8.693; 95% CI [2.573, 14.814]; p = 0.006) independently predicted higher SYNTAX scores. Interestingly, each 1% increase in snoring percentage was associated with a 0.203-point reduction in SYNTAX score (95% CI [\u22120.339, \u22120.068]; p = 0.004). Conclusions: OSA is highly prevalent in patients undergoing coronary angiography and is independently associated with greater anatomical complexity of CAD. Sleep-disordered breathing, particularly AHI and nocturnal hypoxemia, may represent important non-traditional risk markers of advanced coronary atherosclerosis. Systematic screening for OSA should be considered in patients with suspected or confirmed CAD.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm15082877","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,10]],"date-time":"2026-04-10T10:20:16Z","timestamp":1775816416000},"page":"2877","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Obstructive Sleep Apnea in Patients with Significant Coronary Artery Disease: An Underdiagnosed Condition"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Monika","family":"Kowalik-Pandyra","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiac and Vascular Diseases, St. John Paul II Hospital, Pr\u0105dnicka 80, 31-202 Krak\u00f3w, Poland"},{"name":"Doctoral School of Medical and Health Sciences, Jagiellonian University Medical College, \u0141azarza 16, 31-530 Krak\u00f3w, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Klaudia","family":"Piwowar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Interventional Cardiology, Institute of Cardiology, St. John Paul II Hospital, Pr\u0105dnicka 80, 31-202 Krak\u00f3w, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Micha\u0142","family":"Tworek","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiac and Vascular Diseases, St. John Paul II Hospital, Pr\u0105dnicka 80, 31-202 Krak\u00f3w, Poland"},{"name":"Doctoral School of Medical and Health Sciences, Jagiellonian University Medical College, \u0141azarza 16, 31-530 Krak\u00f3w, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0000-6352-8564","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Larysa","family":"Bielecka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiac and Vascular Diseases, St. John Paul II Hospital, Pr\u0105dnicka 80, 31-202 Krak\u00f3w, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ma\u0142gorzata","family":"Mazur","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiac and Vascular Diseases, St. John Paul II Hospital, Pr\u0105dnicka 80, 31-202 Krak\u00f3w, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8006-7840","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Anna","family":"Kab\u0142ak-Ziembicka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiac and Vascular Diseases, St. John Paul II Hospital, Pr\u0105dnicka 80, 31-202 Krak\u00f3w, Poland"},{"name":"Department of Cardiac and Vascular Diseases, Institute of Cardiology, Jagiellonian University Medical College, \u015aw.
