Untreated sleep apnea is a risk factor for hypertension, and CPAP treatment effects a blood
pressure reduction comparable to that of pharmacologic monotherapy. Nevertheless, many …

PURPOSE: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a leading cause of death and identification of
risk factors for CAD is crucial. One such potential risk factor is sleep-disordered breathing …

Background: Sleep disordered breathing (SDB) is common in severe chronic heart failure
(CHF) and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. The prevalence of SDB in …

Breathing‐related sleep disorders, particularly obstructive sleep apnea, have been largely
undiagnosed in people with cardiovascular disease, probably due to limited health care …

The relationship between CHF and SDB is likely to be bidirectional, CHF impacting on SDB
severity and vice versa. Identification of SDB in the CHF population appears to be important …

Emerging research highlights the complex interrelationships between sleep-disordered
breathing and cardiovascular disease, presenting clinical and research opportunities as well …

Purpose Nocturnal cardiac conduction abnormalities are commonly observed in patients
with sleep-disordered breathing (SDB). However, few population-based studies have …

BACKGROUND: Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) is common in patients with reduced
ejection fraction (EF). However, little is known about the prevalence of SDB in a general …

Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) is common in the general population. More than five
apneas and/or hypopneas per hour of sleep (apnea–hypopnea index, AHI) were identified …

Background Sleep-related breathing disorders (SRBD) are related to cardiovascular
outcomes in patients with chronic coronary syndrome (CCS). Whether SRBD-related …
