In the last two decades, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has been identified as a common
clinical condition. Epidemiological studies have confirmed a high prevalence of the disease …

Background It has been reported that patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) have an
elevated arterial stiffness, and alleviation of OSA by continuous positive airway pressure …

Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is a prevalent sleep‐related breathing disorder associated
with adverse cardiovascular outcome. Endothelial dysfunction is one of the proposed …

Study Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine whether severity measures of
obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) are associated with arterial stiffness and central blood …

OBJECTIVE: Increased arterial stiffness and sympathovagal imbalance are noted in patients
with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). It has been thought that continuous positive airway …

Background The cardiovascular effects of positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy in
obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients are not clear because of confounding by comorbid …

Patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) are susceptible to developing atherosclerosis.
Consequently, such patients are at a high risk of developing cardiovascular diseases …

The impact of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) on arterial stiffness is less studied. We aimed
to investigate the prevalence and covariates of increased pulse pressure (PP), a surrogate …

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) can occur in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in
the absence of cardiac or lung disease. Data on the development and severity of PH, and …

Objective Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with increased carotid intima-media
thickness (IMT), an early marker of atherosclerosis. Continuous positive airway pressure …
