Abstract: BACKGROUND Heart failure (HF) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality and while linked to sleep apnea, it is unclear which physiological stressors most strongly associate with incident disease. Here we tested whether Sleep… read more here.

Abstract: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with a cluster of serious adverse outcomes, including cardiovascular (CV) morbidity and mortality. However, the protective effect of the first-line therapy of OSA—continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) against adverse… read more here.

DOI: 10.1164/rccm.202206-1052le
Abstract: Several studies report independent associations between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, doubt has recently been cast on the ability of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) to mitigate these risks, and the… read more here.
