Abstract:
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is closely related to many cardiovascular diseases, including hypertension, coronary heart disease, arrhythmia, heart failure and coronary revascularization. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy is still controversial in the prognosis of patients with obstructive sleep apnea complicated with cardiovascular disease. This method has not been fully confirmed by recent large randomized controlled trials except for its positive effects on controlling hypertension and atrial fibrillation.
