Abstract
Background and Aims : Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OSA) is associated with an increased risk for cardiovascular disease. Previously, we found that cholesterol efflux capacity (CEC), an anti-atherogenic function of HDL, was attenuated in OSA patients. OxLp(a), an oxidized form of Lp(a), was previously reported to be present in human atheroma and was associated with the cardio- ankle vascular index (CAVI) in hypertensive patients. This study investigated the association of OxLp(a) with HDL functions and clinical parameters in sleep apnea syndrome.
