Title of your Abstract : Prevalence of patients at high risk of obstructive sleep apnea among individuals admitted for myocardial infarction
Destination Country : South Korea

Abstract(Please copy/paste the abstract send to the congress) : Introduction: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is the most common respiratory disorder during sleep which is a risk factor for myocardial ischemia. In this study we evaluated the proportion of subjects at high risk for OSA and prevalence of its predictors among patients admitted for acute myocardial infarction (MI).

Materials and methods: A total of 210 patients with MI admitted at the cardiac care unit of Baharloo hospital, Tehran, Iran were enrolled in this study. The STOP-BANG questionnaire was used for diagnosing high-risk patients of OSA. Anthropometric and demographic characteristics, family and personal history, biochemical tests' data of patients and the time of the onset of MI were recorded.

Results: Based on the STOP-BANG questionnaire, 112 patients (53.3%) were at high risk for OSA. The level of fasting blood sugar (FBS) was significantly higher in high-risk patients for OSA. FBS could be a predictor of OSA in patients with MI (p value: 0.005). From midnight to 5:59, the frequency of the onset of MI was significantly higher in patients at high risk for OSA compared with those at low risk (42% vs. 16.3%, p value < 0.001).

Conclusion: OSA is a prevalent disorder in patients with MI. Looking for signs and symptoms of OSA should be considered in clinical assessment of patients with MI.

If you met staff members, please list their full names & positions. : Christian Guilleminault .co-chair-Richard Allen-Max Hirshkowiz-Charles Morin-Dr Allan Pack
Please inform us if there are any follow up actions we need to talk with the members of the congress : We could propose having Iran host the next world sleep congress. This would be the first large-scale international sleep congress that will be held in the country. We would also like to propose hosting different sleep medicine workshops in Iran as Iranian scientists in this field have much to offer& have courses.
Your experiences about the travel processes(Providing ticket, accommodation,...) : Booking.com is the best website to booking the hotel
Please give a briefing of your own observations and outcomes of the congress: : It was very useful to come into contact with other researchers in the field of sleep medicine and learn about their experiences, research projects and their findings.It was very useful to come into contact with other researchers in the field of sleep medicine and learn about their experiences, research projects and their findings. Participating in such events can help introduce Iranian scientists to the world and share with international researchers the astounding findings of Iranians in the field of sleep medicine. This is also beneficial for Iranian scientists as it will help them become familiar with the work done by other researchers in the field of sleep medicine as well as on sleep disorders.
There were interesting symposium &Useful courses & workshop such as, Fitness to Drive changes-Violence During Sleep-Non Pharmacological Approaches in the Management of Insomnia/Trends in Insomnia-REM Behavior Disorder-Pediatric Sleep Medicine-Circadian Rhythm Sleep-Wake Disorder-weinmann Industry Symposia.
