Sleep Apnea Linked to Heightened Mortality in Epilepsy Heart Failure Risk Assessment Using Biomarkers in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation: Analysis From COMBINE-AF Growth Hormone and the Thyroid Gland: A Complex Relationship Primary Care Focus: Obstructive Sleep Apnea-Hypopnea Syndrome Tools Drug ...
The close association between OSA and hypertension highlights how BP assessment is crucial in patients with OSA whether they have an established diagnosis of hypertension or not. Capturing the myriad hemodynamic changes promoted by respiratory events, however, is not practical even in a sophisticated cl...

A combination of parental questionnaires and inexpensive diagnostic procedures that can be performed as part of a primary care visit may be able to rule out the presence of obstructive sleep apnea in people with Down syndrome. If validated in a future study currently in progress, this assessment ...
These are suitable methods to rule in patients with a high pre- test probability on clinical grounds and may prove helpful to anesthesiologist seeking information quickly in patients presenting for pre anesthetic assessment. Anesthesiologist also need to be aware that straight forward OSA is on the ...
