Sleep disordered breathing is frequently associated with repeated arousals and hypoxia
resulting from intermittent partial or complete collapse of upper airway during sleep. There is …

Patients with sleep apnea may be at increased risk for cardiovascular disease. Recently, the
link between hypertension and sleep apnea has been strengthened by findings of two large …

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is characterized by recurrent episodes of partial (hypopnea)
or complete interruption (apnea) in breathing during sleep due to airway collapse in the …

ACCUMULATING EVIDENCE OVER THE PAST 15 YEARS HAS LINKED SLEEP-
DISORDERED BREATHING TO EXCESS MORTALITY AND MORBIDITY. Not surprisingly …

Sleep-related breathing disorders, ranging from habitual snoring to the increased upper
airway resistance syndrome to sleep apnea, are now recognized as major health problems …

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

Sleep‐disordered breathing, manifested by repetitive episodes of partial or complete
cessation of breathing during sleep associated with brief arousal and autonomic activation …

Sleep-related breathing disorders (SRBDs) represent a spectrum of abnormalities that range
from simple snoring to upper airway resistance syndrome to sleep apnea. The clinical …

Rationale: Epidemiologic studies on the consequences of sleep-disordered breathing
invariably use the apnea–hypopnea index as the primary measure of disease severity …

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common form of sleep disordered breathing and has a
relatively high prevalence in the general population. The frequency and severity of OSA is …
