Why the study?
Does 6-month CPAP therapy improve left ventricular systolic and diastolic functions assessed by tissue Doppler imaging in patients with moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome?
Does 6-month CPAP therapy improve left ventricular systolic and diastolic functions assessed by tissue Doppler imaging in patients with moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome?
Six months of CPAP therapy improves subclinical left ventricular systolic and diastolic dysfunction in patients with moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea.
May support subclinical LV benefits from CPAP in OSAS; hypothesis-generating and leaves open confirmation in RCTs.
