Effects of Continuous Positive Airway Pressure Treatment on Vascular Function in a Real-Life Cohort of Elderly Patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnoea Syndrome
Our study confirmed the favourable effects of CPAP therapy in a cohort of elderly patients affected by OSAS and several comorbidities on sleep respiratory parameters and vascular function; early diagnosis and treatment with CPAP might be beneficial to delay or prevent the occurrence of cardiovascular events in these groups of patients.
