2. 1. Obstructive sleep apnea and cardiovascular morbidity

   Author : Yüksel Peker; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Obstructive sleep apnea; cardiovascular; hypertension; coronary artery disease; hospitalization; cost utility; morbidity; mortality; secondary prevention; angiotensin II; CPAP;

   Abstract : Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) affects 24 % of middle-aged men and 9 % of women in USA but the treatment criterion, daytime sleepiness is reported by 17 and 22 % of these subjects, respectively. Some previous studies have suggested an association between OSA and cardiovascular disease (CVD), but the conclusions have been conflicting due to co-existing traditionally recognized risk factors.

4. 2. Sleep disordered breathing : Natural evolution and metabolism

   Author : Ahmed Elmasry; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : Medical sciences; snoring; sleep apnea; epidemiology; obesity; diabetes; catecholamines; hypertension; evolution; population-based; prospective; MEDICIN OCH VÅRD; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; Medicine; medicin;

   Abstract : Sleep disordered breathing is manifested by snoring and repeated episodes of apneas and hypopneas. The induced hypoxia and sleep fragmentation are thought to be responsible for many metabolic disturbances.In 1984, 3,201 men aged 30 to 69 answered a questionnaire on snoring, sleep disorders and somatic diseases. In 1994, 2,668 of the survivors (89. READ MORE

5. 3. Obesity, Sleep and Sleep-disordered Breathing

   Author : Andreas Palm; Eva Lindberg; Christer Janson; Ludger Grote; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Sleep; Obesity; Obstructive Sleep Apnea; Obesity Hypoventilation syndrome; Medicinsk vetenskap; Medical Science;

   Abstract : Background: Sleep problems are associated with impaired quality of life and daytime sleepiness. Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) and obesity hypoventilation syndrome (OHS), are associated with metabolic changes and an increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. READ MORE

6. 4. Sleep disordered breathing and hemodynamic function

   Author : Ludger Grote; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : sleep apnea; hypertension; blood pressure; vascular function; exercise; arousal;

   Abstract : This thesis addresses the association between sleep disordered breathing (SDB) and hemodynamic function. A cross sectional study in a sleep laboratory cohort (n=1190) demonstrated a dose-response relationship between the severity of SDB, expressed as respiratory disturbance index (RDI), and office blood pressure, heart rate, and the risk of hypertension.

7. 5. Obstructive sleep apnea : General characteristics in hypertensive patients, positional sensitivity, and upper airway sensory neuropathy

   Author : Ola Sunnergren; Eva Svanborg; Anders Broström; Jan Hedner; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Introduction: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a highly prevalent disorder, especially in populations with cardiovascular disease. Unfortunately most cases with OSA remain undiagnosed. READ MORE
