DOI: 10.1007/s00392-019-01454-6
Abstract: BackgroundSympathetic nervous system activation plays a pivotal role in obese patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), contributing to increased cardiovascular risk. Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) activates cardiac autonomic nervous system. Our main study objective was… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10557-020-06991-1
Abstract: Purpose Hyperlipidemia is the most important early atherosclerosis and coronary artery disease (CAD) indicator. Angiopoietin-like proteins (ANGPTLs) 3, 4, and 8 are lipid dysfunction markers that may be linked to CAD. We investigated whether these… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11325-019-01830-6
Abstract: Purpose Patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) commonly report residual excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) despite treatment with positive airway pressure (PAP). The present study aimed to determine whether patients presenting with subjective sleepiness after treatment… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11325-019-01862-y
Abstract: Objectives Patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) (an obstructed airway and intermittent hypoxia) negatively affect their respiratory muscles. We evaluated the effects of a 12-week threshold inspiratory muscle training (TIMT) program on OSA severity, daytime… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11325-020-02095-0
Abstract: Purpose The pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is unclear. Several studies have suggested that CVD may be caused by oxidative stress from chronic intermittent hypoxia and associated vascular… read more here.
