Arterial Stiffness in Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Obstructive sleep apnea is a very common disease and is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, cardiac arrhythmia, and stroke. Arterial stiffness is an emerging risk factor and may be involved in the cardiovascular complications of obstructive sleep apnea. The purpose of this review was to demonstrate the correlation between arterial stiffness and obstructive sleep apnea. ...
متن کاملObstructive sleep apnea, masked hypertension, and arterial stiffness in men.
BACKGROUND Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is an established cause of hypertension. However, it is not clear whether the frequency of masked hypertension in patients with OSA and whether OSA have an independent role on arterial stiffness taking into account ambulatory blood pressure (BP) monitoring (ABPM). METHODS We evaluated 61 male normotensive participants as determined by casual clinic BP ...
متن کاملImpacts of Comorbidities on the Association between Arterial Stiffness and Obstructive Sleep Apnea in the Elderly
Background: Although the impact of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) on cardiovascular risk is reasonably well established in middle-aged patients, the debate persists as to whether OSA also increases this risk in the elderly. Arterial stiffness has been used as an early independent predictor of cardiovascular risk. Study Objectives: We sought to determine whether OSA has significant effects on the...
