Özet

Background: Reduced arterial elasticity is an important mediator of accelerated atherogenesis and consequent increased cardiovascular morbidity in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The aim of our study was to investigate whether continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy may improve arterial elasticity in subjects with OSA.
