ABSTRACT Interleukin (IL)-8 has been shown to play an important role in obstructive sleep
apnea syndrome (OSAS). However, its role in OSAS development is still controversial. This …

Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is a chronic sleep disorder characterised by recurrent
cyclical episodes of upper airway collapse causing apnoea or hypopnoea. Despite being …

Obejctive Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) increases left ventricular transmural pressure
more than central sleep apnoea (CSA) owing to negative intrathoracic pressure swings. We …

Background: Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSA) is common in patients with acute
myocardial infarction (AMI). Whether OSA impacts on the ventricular remodeling post-AMI …

Scientific investigations in the past few decades have supported the important role of sleep
in various domains of health. Sleep apnea is a highly prevalent yet underdiagnosed sleep …

Background Patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) often present with cardiovascular
symptoms. Holter monitors were reported to predict sleep apnea, though were rarely used in …

Background The relative contribution of pathophysiological mechanisms in acute coronary
syndrome (ACS) towards obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is not well-studied. We examined …

Background Sympathetic hyperactivity and poor sleep quality have been reported in patients
with myocardial infarction (MI). Sleep is an important modulator of cardiovascular function …

Background We evaluated the effects of sleep-study guided multidisciplinary therapy
(SGMT) of obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) in patients presenting with acute coronary …

Purpose Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) during the rapid eye movement (REM) stage of the
sleep cycle is associated with intense hypoxemia and cardiovascular instability. We …
