Effect of CPAP therapy on endothelial function in obstructive sleep apnoea: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Abstract:

© 2015 Asian Pacific Society of Respirology. Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is a prevalent sleep-related breathing disorder associated with adverse cardiovascular outcome. Endothelial dysfunction is one of the proposed mechanistic links between OSA and the increased cardiovascular risk.
