Assessment of microcirculation among patients with obstructive sleep apnea after CPAP treatment

Current study does not exactly explain the accurate mechanism underlying the changes of PORH after CPAP treatment among patients with OSA. However, it was demonstrated that 3 months adequate treatment improved endothelial function among the studied group. Assessment of microcirculation by LDF PORH protocol is a promising method, due to simplicity for the examinator, and non-invasive procedure. Due to the small study group, further investigation of microcirculation among patients with OSA should be performed, including the influence of co-morbidities and medications intake.
