Objective To evaluate the relation of central sleep apnoea (CSA) to the severity and short-term prognosis of patients who experience acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Methods Observational study with cross-sectional and longitudinal analyses. Patients acutely admitted to participating hospitals because of ACS underwent respiratory polygraphy during the first 24 to 72 h. CSA was defined as an apnoea-hypopnoea index (AHI) >15 events·h-1 (>50% of central apnoeas). ACS severity (Killip class, ejection fraction, number of diseased vessels and peak plasma troponin) was evaluated at baseline, and short-term prognosis (length of hospitalization, complications and mortality) was evaluated at discharge. This work was supported by: ResMed Ltd. (Australia); Fondo de InvestigacioÂn Sanitaria (PI10/02763 and PI10/02745), Fondo Europeo de Desarrollo Regional (FEDER), Una manera de hacer Europa; the Spanish Respiratory Society (SEPAR); the Catalonian Cardiology Society, Esteve-Teijin (Spain); Oxigen Salud (Spain); and ALLER. This project has received funding from the European Union's Seventh Framework Programme for research, technological development and demonstration under grant agreement no [609396]. Cofunded by Ministerio de EconomõÂa y Competitividad [COFUND2014-51501].
