Introduction: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a major cause of hypertension, which is
tightly associated with arterial stiffness, a marker of target organ damage and cardiovascular …

Purpose This study aimed to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized
trials investigating the effect of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) on non-invasive …

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with increased arterial stiffness, a cumulative
indicator of arterial health. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is the gold standard …

Arterial stiffness has been recognized as a predictor of cardiovascular and all-cause
mortality in hypertensive patients. However, the impact of continuous positive airway …

Obstructive sleep apnea is a prevalent disease that is associated with significant morbidity
and mortality, particularly due to cardiovascular disease. An emerging cardiovascular risk …

Introduction Sleepiness is a cardinal symptom in obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) but most
patients have unspecific symptoms. Arterial stiffness, evaluated by pulse wave velocity …

Aim: To evaluate the impact of OSA treatment with CPAP on arterial stiffness and on carotid
arterial thickness. Methods: This is a sub-study of the MORPHEOS trial (clinicaltrials. gov …

BACKGROUND: Reduced arterial elasticity is an important mediator of accelerated
atherogenesis and consequent increased cardiovascular morbidity in obstructive sleep …

Purpose A close relationship between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and atherosclerosis
has been reported, but it is still discussed controversially whether OSA affects vascular …

Background Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with increased cardiovascular
morbidity and mortality which may be mediated by increased arterial stiffness and …
