Sleep Apnea and Heart Attack Risk
A new study from the Mayo Clinic and reported in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology suggests that heart attacks that occur between midnight and 6AM are associated with sleep apnea.
"If a patient has a heart attack that wakes him or her from sleep, then it may be important to look for sleep apnea in them," said Dr. Virend Somers, one of the investigators.

If you have sleep apnea or have had a heart attack that has awakened you from sleep, it's critical that you review this information.
