Sleep-related breathing disorders, including sleep apnea and hypoxemia during sleep, are common in pulmonary arterial hypertension, but the underlying mechanisms remain unknown. Overnight fluid shift from the legs to the upper airway and to the lungs promotes obstructive and central sleep apnea, respectively, in fluid-retaining states. The main objective was to evaluate if overnight rostral fluid shift from the legs to the upper part of the body is associated with sleep-related breathing disorders in pulmonary arterial hypertension. In a prospective study, a group of stable patients with idiopathic, heritable, related to drugs, toxins, or treated congenital heart disease pulmonary arterial hypertension underwent a polysomnography and overnight fluid shift measurement by bioelectrical impedance in the month preceding or following a one-day hospitalization according to regular pulmonary arterial hypertension follow-up schedule with a right heart catheterization. Results show that among 15 patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (women: 87%; median (25–75th percentiles); age: 40 (32–61) years; mean pulmonary arterial pressure 56 (46–68) mmHg; pulmonary vascular resistance 8.8 (6.4–10.1) Wood units), two patients had sleep apnea and eight (53%) had hypoxemia during sleep without apnea. The overnight rostral fluid shift was 168 (118–263) mL per leg. Patients with hypoxemia during sleep had a greater fluid shift (221 (141– 361) mL) than those without hypoxemia (118 (44–178) mL, p = 0.045). In conclusion, this pilot study suggests that hypoxemia during sleep is associated with overnight rostral fluid shift in pulmonary arterial hypertension.
