Obstructive Sleep Apnea: The Most Common Secondary Cause of Hypertension Associated With Resistant Hypertension
Rodrigo P. Pedrosa,Luciano F. Drager,Carolina C. Gonzaga,Márcio Gonçalves de Sousa,Lilian K.G. de Paula,Aline C.S. Amaro,Celso Amodeo,Luiz Aparecido Bortolotto,Eduardo M. Krieger,T. Douglas Bradley,Geraldo Lorenzi-Filho +10 more

Journal ArticleDOI
Obstructive Sleep Apnea: A Cardiometabolic Risk in Obesity and the Metabolic Syndrome
TL;DR: Results support the concept that OSA exacerbates the cardiometabolic risk attributed to obesity and the metabolic syndrome, and recognition and treatment of OSA may decrease the cardiovascular risk in obese patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Early Signs of Atherosclerosis in Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Luciano F. Drager,Luiz Aparecido Bortolotto,Maria Cecília Lorenzi,Adelaide C. Figueiredo,Eduardo M. Krieger,Geraldo Lorenzi-Filho +5 more
TL;DR: Middle-aged patients with OSA who are free of overt cardiovascular diseases have early signs of atherosclerosis, and all vascular abnormalities correlated significantly with the severity of the OSA, which supports the hypothesis that OSA plays an independent role in Atherosclerosis progression.
