Study Objectives: We sought to provide an updated systematic review and meta-analysis of
studies investigating the effect of positive airway pressure (PAP) treatment for obstructive …

A surge of data has reproducibly identified strong associations of OSA with cardiac
arrhythmias. As an extension of epidemiologic and clinic-based findings, experimental …

BACKGROUND: There is a known association between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and
atrial fibrillation (AF); however, how OSA affects the atrial myocardium is not well described …

The reservoir, conduit, and contractile functions of the left atrium are integral to overall
cardiac performance. Recent advances in cardiac imaging offer the accurate assessment of …

Background Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with an increased risk of
cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Although previous echocardiographic studies have …

Os distúrbios de sono compreendem uma vasta gama de condições clínicas capazes de
interferir negativamente em todos orgãos e sistemas, e, em particular, no sistema …

The prevalence of sleep disordered breathing like obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) among
patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) is 40–50%. OSA reduces success rate of catheter based …

Rationale Despite a significant association between obesity hypoventilation syndrome
(OHS) and cardiac dysfunction, no randomised trials have assessed the impact of non …

Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) can be a sequela of stroke caused by vascular injury to
vital respiratory centers, cerebral edema, and increased intracranial pressure of space …

We investigated whether obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) independently affects diastolic
function in a primary care cohort of patients with cardiovascular risk factors. 378 study …
