Cardiovascular remodeling in obstructive sleep apnea: focus on arterial stiffness, left ventricular geometry and atrial fibrillation
We present an overview of the definition, prevalence, and risk factors of OSA and outline the association between OSA and cardiovascular complications. We then briefly discuss echocardiographic assessment in OSA with focus on the left atrium and LV. Finally, we highlight the importance of adherence to continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy with regard to reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease.EXPERT COMMENTARY: Although OSA has a strong association with cardiovascular complications, it is often underdiagnosed and undertreated. Patients with resistant hypertension and atrial fibrillation with poor therapeut...

Effects of Comprehensive Swallowing Intervention on Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Dysphagia After Stroke: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) is a global disorder and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is its most common form.1 The well-known complications of untreated OSA are increased risks of stroke, and 57% of stroke patients with OSA often experience fatigue and sleepiness during the day, which may influence cognitive function, social relationship, and quality of life.2,3 In addition, stroke patients with OSA had an increased risk of death.4,5 Therefore, it is important to identify therapies for poststroke OSA.

Obstructive sleep apnea: transition from pathophysiology to an integrative disease model
J Sleep Res. 2022 May 24:e13616. doi: 10.1111/jsr.13616. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTObstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is characterised by recurring episodes of upper airway obstruction during sleep and the fundamental abnormality reflects the inability of the upper airway dilating muscles to withstand the negative forces generated within the upper airway during inspiration. Factors that result in narrowing of the oropharynx such as abnormal craniofacial anatomy, soft tissue accumulation in the neck, and rostral fluid shift in the recumbent position increase the collapsing forces within the airway. The counteracting forces o...

QTc prolongation is associated with severe desaturations in stroke patients with sleep apnea
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with vascular diseases from which stroke and sudden cardiac death are the most significant ones. It is known that disturbances of the autonomic nervous system and el...

Cardiovascular Benefit of CPAP in Adults with Coronary Artery Disease and OSA without Excessive Sleepiness
CONCLUSIONS: The protective effect of CPAP in patients with CAD and OSA without excessive sleepiness was modified by the ∆HR. Specifically, patients with higher ∆HR exhibit greater cardiovascular benefit from CPAP therapy.PMID:35579605 | DOI:10.1164/rccm.202111-2608OC
