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 …

Large elastic arteries and smaller muscular conduit arteries become stiffer with ageing, a
process that is accelerated in the presence of cardiovascular disease (CVD). In recent years …

Introduction Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease.
The goal of this study was to demonstrate whether the use of CPAP produces significant …

Background Arterial stiffness and its hemodynamic consequences are known to be
associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Pulse wave velocity …

Background Although existing research highlights the relationship of OSA and
cardiovascular disease, the effect of OSA treatment on cardiovascular biomarkers remains …

Study Objectives: This study challenged on a bench-test the efficacy of auto-titrating positive
airway pressure (APAP) devices for obstructive sleep disordered breathing treatment and …

Obstructive sleep apnea is associated with obesity and metabolic syndrome, leading to
greater cardiovascular risk. Severely obese patients with obstructive sleep apnea may still …

Background Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) may independently increase cardiovascular
risk in obesity. Although there is evidence that arterial stiffness is altered in OSA, knowledge …

The aim of this review was to summarize the current data from randomised controlled trials
(RCTs) on vascular effects of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy in …

Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) may affect arterial wave propagation and reflection,
thus influencing ventricular loading conditions. The aim of the study was to investigate the …
