adverse outcomes in left-sided heart failure, pulmonary hypertension, and in patients in the …

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: Relationships between exhaled breath condensate (EBC) and serum
