Abstract

Obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea (OSAH) has a high prevalence in cardiac patients and adversely affects treatment outcome. OSAH induces profound changes in right ventricular (RV) function with repetitive oxidative stress to the cardiovascular (CV) system, thus increasing the risks for refractory hypertension, pulmonary hypertension, acute coronary syndrome, heart failure, stroke, malignant arrhythmias and even sudden cardiac death. This study evaluates a new method for monitoring the impact of OSAH on the CV system.
