Why the study?
Does the severity of Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome affect pulmonary artery stiffness and right ventricular function?
Does the severity of Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome affect pulmonary artery stiffness and right ventricular function?
Pulmonary artery stiffness increases with OSAS severity and may contribute to right ventricular dysfunction.
May indicate need for RV monitoring in severe OSAS; leaves open causal role of stiffness in dysfunction.
