Abstract
Identifying and treating obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) may have important implications in the long-term prognosis of patients with post myocardial infarction (MI). Currently, 42% of the patients admitted with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) have undiagnosed severe OSA which bears a negative prognostic impact [1]. Therefore we read with interest the important study by Garcia-Rio F et al. [2] which analyze the effects of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) in patients with OSA and MI.
