Abstract

The aim of the present study was to assess the relationship between acute aortic dissection (AAD) and sleep disorders in a working population. Seventy (50.4%) of 139 younger subjects with AAD suffered from sleep disorders. Insomnia was reported by 35 patients (50%), sleep deprivation by 31 patients (44.3%), and sleep apnea syndrome was present in 43 patients (61.4%). The average apnea–hypopnea index was 22.0 ± 7.5 points, requiring appropriate treatment. Most of these patients had irregular daily schedules due to job pressure. Sixty-six (94.3%) complained of severe mental and physical stress in daily life. Sleep disorders are considered one of the risk factors for the occurrence of AAD at younger active ages. In primary care for patients with mental or physical stress due to their daily life, it is important to assess these individuals for the presence of sleep disorders.
