Background: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with several cardiovascular diseases. However, the mechanisms are not completely atherosclerosis understood. Recent studies have shown that OSA is associated with multiple markers of endothelial damage. We hypothesized that OSA cardiovascular affects functional and structural properties of large arteries, contributing to atherosclerosis progression. Methods and Measurements: Twelve diseases healthy volunteers, 15 patients with mild to moderate OSA, and 15 with carotid severe OSA matched for age, sex, and body mass index were studied remodeling obstructive by using (1) full standard overnight polysomnography; (2) carotidfemoral pulse wave velocity with a noninvasive automatic device; and sleep apnea (3) a high-definition echo-tracking device to measure intima-media By author thickness, diameter, and distensibility. All participants were free of hypertension, diabetes, and smoking, and were not on any medications. Eduardo M. Patients with OSA were naive to treatment. Main Results: Significant Krieger differences existed between control subjects and patients with mild to Luciano F. moderate and severe OSA (apneahypopnea index, 3.1 0.3, 16.2 Drager 1.7, and 55.7 5.9 events/hour, respectively) in pulse wave velocity Luiz A. (8.7 0.2, 9.2 0.2, and 10.3 0.2 m/second; p < 0.0001), intimaBortolotto media thickness (604.4 25.2, 580.2 29.0, and 722.2 35.2 m; p Maria Ceclia = 0.004), and carotid diameter (6,607.8 126.7, 7,152.3 114.4, and Lorenzi 7,539.9 161.2 m; p < 0.0001). Multivariate analyses showed that Adelaide C. the apneahypopnea index correlated independently with pulse wave velocity and intima-media thickness variability (r = 0.61, p < 0.0001, Figueiredo and r = 0.44, p = 0.004, respectively), whereas minimal oxygen Geraldo Lorenzi-Filho saturation correlated with the carotid diameter (r = 0.60, p < 0.0001).

Lorenzi-Filho saturation correlated with the carotid diameter (r = 0.60, p < 0.0001). Conclusions: Middle-aged patients with OSA who are free of overt Search in cardiovascular diseases have early signs of atherosclerosis. All vascular abnormalities correlated significantly with the severity of the OSA, which thoracic further supports the hypothesis that OSA plays an independent role in CrossRef atherosclerosis progression.
