Journal ArticleDOI

Obstructive sleep apnoea and cardiovascular disease

TL;DR: In patients with OSA, continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment reduces blood pressure, and its effects are related to compliance and baseline blood pressure.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effect of Obstructive Sleep Apnoea and Its Treatment With Continuous Positive Airway Pressure on the Prevalence of Cardiovascular Events in Patients With Acute Coronary Syndrome (ISAACC Study): A Randomised Controlled Trial

Manuel Sánchez-de-la-Torre, +97 more
TL;DR: Among non-sleepy patients with ACS, the presence of OSA was not associated with an increased prevalence of cardiovascular events and treatment with CPAP did not significantly reduce this prevalence.
Journal ArticleDOI

Relationship Between OSA and Hypertension

TL;DR: Diuretics, particularly antialdosteronic diuretic agents, should be considered the first-line antihypertensive drug treatment in patients with OSA by reducing parapharyngeal edema and secondary upper airway obstruction, and by improving OSA severity and also to reduce BP.
Journal ArticleDOI

Long-term adherence to continuous positive airway pressure therapy in non-sleepy sleep apnea patients.

TL;DR: This study demonstrates that CPAP treatment is feasible in non-sleepy, moderate-to-severe OSA patients and predicts good CPAP adherence by greater OSA severity as measured by both the AHI and TC90 and by the presence of hypertension at baseline in patients with higher AHI levels.
