Purpose: Previous studies have demonstrated that severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) itself impairs directly left ventricular (LV) diastolic function. Meanwhile, left atrial (LA) volume index which is an independent predictor of future cardiovascular events is related to the OSA severity. Thus, the...

Patients who have high blood pressure that is resistant to treatment as well as obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) face a significant complication, as the more severe their OSA, the higher their blood pressure, according to researchers at theHospital Universitari Arnau de Vilanovain Lleida, Spain. ...
Purpose Home sleep apnea tests are recommended only for patients at high risk of moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA, apnea-hypopnea index [AHI] >= 15/h). We evaluated 14 factors known to be associated with OSA and identified sex differences in predictors of moderate to severe OS...
