... contributors to cardiovascular risk in OSA. These changes include increased sympathetic activity, which is responsive to treatment of OSA with CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure). In this issue of Clinical Science , the possible role of a common polymorphism in the β 1 -adrenoreceptor [R389G (Arg389Gly...

... variability confer a poor prognosis after stroke and are potentially treatable. Many studies of CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) demonstrate decreases in cardiovascular risk markers in other patient groups. Although difficult to apply in these patients in the short term, CPAP has some potential...

...Alberto De Hoyos; Peter P. Liu; Dean C. Benard; T. Douglas Bradley 1. Continuous positive airway pressure increases intrathoracic pressure, thereby decreasing left ventricular preload and afterload. We hypothesized that there would be a dose-related alteration in cardiac and stroke volume indices...

...J. Krieger; M. Follenius; E. Sforza; G. Brandenberger; J. D. Peter 1. Patients with obstructive sleep apnoea have increased diuresis during sleep, which decreases with nasal continuous positive airway pressure treatment. These changes have been attributed to an increased release of atrial...
