Medical investigators at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit have
determined snorers are more likely to have thickening or abnormalities
in their carotid arteries — the two large blood vessels that supply
oxygen to the brain — which are precursors to atherosclerosis, a
hardening of the arteries that leads to many cardiovascular diseases.
"Snoring is more than a bedtime annoyance and it shouldn't be
ignored,” said lead researcher Robert Deeb, M.D., with the Department of
Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery at Henry Ford. “Patients need to
seek treatment in the same way they would if they had sleep apnea, high
blood pressure, or other risk factors for cardiovascular disease.”
Dr. Deeb said the new study adds to the growing body of evidence suggesting that snoring is not be benign as many believe.
