Journal ArticleDOI

The effects of diabetes on the risks of major cardiovascular diseases and death in the Asia-Pacific region.

TL;DR: The relative effect of diabetes on the risks of cardiovascular disease and death in Asian populations is much the same as that in the largely Caucasian populations of Australia and New Zealand.
Journal ArticleDOI

Predictors of Long-Term Adherence to Continuous Positive Airway Pressure Therapy in Patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Cardiovascular Disease in the SAVE Study.

TL;DR: Continuous positive airway pressure use in patients with coexisting cardiovascular disease and moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea decreases significantly over 12 months, raising the possibility that intensive early interventions could improve long-term continuous positive airways pressure compliance in this patient population.
Journal ArticleDOI

Adiponectin Protects Rat Myocardium against Chronic Intermittent Hypoxia-Induced Injury via Inhibition of Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress

TL;DR: The results suggested that Ad augmentation could improve CIH-induced left ventricular dysfunction and associated myocardial apoptosis by inhibition of ROS-dependent ER stress.
Journal ArticleDOI

Epworth Sleepiness Scale may be an indicator for blood pressure profile and prevalence of coronary artery disease and cerebrovascular disease in patients with obstructive sleep apnea

TL;DR: In severe OSA patients with comparable AHI, EDS may identify a subset of individuals with OSA at higher risk of hypertension, R- HTN, IN-HTN, CAD, and CVD in excessive daytime sleepiness.
