Abstract
Patients with obstructive sleep apnea are at greater risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea also seems to be higher in patients with cardiovascular conditions. Obstructive sleep apnea and coronary artery disease share some common risk factors while the pathophysiological interaction between them includes neural, humoral, mechanical and hemodynamic components. In this review we focus on the association between obstructive sleep apnea and coronary disease on the basis of their pathophysiological interaction, inflammatory mechanisms and to the effects of sleep apnea therapy on coronary disease outcomes.
Keywords: Obstructive sleep apnea, coronary heart disease, cardiovascular risk, systemic inflammation.

Exposure to PM2.5 components is associated with respiratory diseases
Through continuous research on the relationship between risk factors and health, it has been found that air pollution, especially atmospheric particulate matter pollution, has become one of the main sources of global disease burden. From 1990 to 2022, the concentration of atmospheric particulate matter pollution has increased by more than ...read more
