Abstract

Aim: Salusin-alpha and salusin-beta peptides are crucial in the development of cardiovascular diseases like coronary artery disease (CAD). This study compared serum levels of these peptides in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), those with both OSA and CAD. Materials & methods: Patients without OSA were included in Group 1, those with OSA alone comprised Group 2, and those with OSA and CAD were in Group 3. Results: Salusin-alpha level was significantly higher in controls than in Groups 2 and 3, while salusin-beta levels were significantly higher in Groups 2 and 3 compared with the control group. Conclusion: Salusin-alpha and -beta levels may be parameters that can guide the diagnosis of OSA in patients with a consistent clinical history.
