Background— Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS), characterized by intermittent hypoxia/reoxygenation (IHR), is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease. We investigated the underlying molecular mechanisms of this association in a…
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a prevalent disorder particularly among middle-aged, obese men, although its existence in women as well as in lean individuals is increasingly recognized. Despite the early…
Context Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has been increasingly implicated in the initiation and progression of cardiovascular diseases. Objective To systematically review the interactions of OSA with cardiovascular pathophysiology and…
STUDY OBJECTIVES: Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSA) is associated with an increased rate of cardiovascular morbidity, which has been suggested to be related to oxidative stress. The present study investigated…
