The crossroad between obstructive sleep apnea and heart failure: A novel perspective at an old parameter
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Journal of Clinical Ultrasound"
DOI: 10.1002/jcu.23127
Abstract: Sleep apnea is widely recognized as a pathologic condition, leading to multiple cardiovascular events and provoking heart failure (HF) onset. The current ESC guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of acute and chronic HF emphasize… read more here.

Feasibility of at-home continuous overnight pulse oximetry for obstructive sleep apnea screening in bariatric surgery candidates

DOI: 10.1007/s00405-021-06660-5
Abstract: Screening for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is recommended in patients scheduled for bariatric surgery because continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy in patients with moderate-to-severe OSA reduces postoperative complications. However, cardiorespiratory polygraphy (CRP) and polysomnography… read more here.

Postural stability and fall risk in patients with obstructive sleep apnea: a cross-sectional study
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Sleep and Breathing"
DOI: 10.1007/s11325-021-02322-2
Abstract: Nocturnal hypoxia and daytime sleepiness resulting from fragmented sleep may impair the ability of postural stability in subjects with OSA. This study investigates the effect of disease severity on postural stability and whether or not… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11695-019-04110-0
Abstract: Severe obesity is associated with a high prevalence of moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSA). Bariatric surgery has been shown to effectively reduce excess weight and comorbidities. We evaluated the remission rate of moderate-to-severe OSA… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.hrthm.2016.11.033
Abstract: BACKGROUND Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with several cardiovascular conditions. Some pacemakers feature specific algorithms detecting respiratory cycles and deriving indices well correlated with the identification of polysomnography-confirmed severe OSA. OBJECTIVES The purposes of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/eurheartj/ehz745.0640
Abstract: It is recommended to consider obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) screening in atrial fibrillation (AF) patients with risk factors, due to the strong evidence of an association between these two entities. Excessive supraventricular ectopic activity (ESVEA)… read more here.
