Macrovascular Endothelial Dysfunction in OSA and Type 2 Diabetes
Patients with both type 2 diabetes and obstructive sleep apnea demonstrated macrovascular endothelial dysfunction beyond the effect of either disease alone.
Obstructive Sleep Apnea
CPAP May Not Prevent Major Cardiovascular Events in OSA and ACS
In patients with acute coronary syndrome and obstructive sleep apnea, treatment with continuous positive airway pressure may not prevent the recurrence of major cardiovascular events.
NIV and CPAP Similarly Improve LV Dysfunction in Obesity Hypoventilation Syndrome With OSA
Treatment with noninvasive ventilation and continuous positive airway pressure provided similar improvements in pulmonary hypertension and left ventricular diastolic dysfunction in obesity hypoventilation syndrome and concomitant severe obstructive sleep apnea.
Female Gender Is an Independent Predictor of CVD in OSA
Considerable differences exist between men and women with respect to the diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea, with female gender shown to be an independent, significant predictor of prevalent cardiovascular disease.
Improved In-Hospital Mortality for Patients With Known OSA Admitted for MI
Patients admitted to the hospital for myocardial infarction with a known diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea were found to have improved in-hospital mortality.
Longer Sleep Duration in OSA Linked to Higher CAC Scores
The interaction between obstructive sleep apnea and long sleep duration was associated with a nearly 3-fold chance of having a coronary artery calcium score of >100.
OSA Increases CKD Risk in Recovered Acute Cardiogenic Pulmonary Edema
Obstructive sleep apnea increases the risk for chronic kidney disease in patients who have recovered from an episode of acute cardiogenic pulmonary edema.
Improving BP in OSA: Positive Airway Pressure vs Upper Airway Stimulation
Patients with obstructive sleep apnea who received positive airway pressure therapy had greater improvements in blood pressure compared with those who received upper airway stimulation.
