Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is characterized by repetitive collapses (apnoeas) or near collapses (hypopnoeas) of the upper airway during sleep, resulting in intermittent hypoxemia and increased sympathetic arousal. With symptoms of daytime …
Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) is often reported to cause cardiovascular diseases due to mechanisms, such as intermittent nighttime hypoxemia, followed by oxidative stress, endothelial dysfunction, arousal, sympathetic hyperactivity, changes in …
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) refers to repetitive episodes of decrease or complete halt in airflow during sleep despite efforts to breathe. OSA is characterized by excessive daytime sleepiness, snoring, and nocturnal hypoxemia [ 1 ]. OSA is an …
