- Title
Searching for a Vulnerable Cardiovascular Endotype in Obstructive Sleep Apnea: Is the Humble Pulse Wave a Useful Biomarker?
- Authors
Phillips, Craig L.; Marshall, Nathaniel S.
- Abstract
The article focuses on the association between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and cardiovascular events. Topics include the lack of cardiovascular event reduction with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment, the potential role of primary prevention trials targeting sleepy OSA patients, and the use of the pulse wave amplitude drop (PWAD) index as a biomarker for cardiovascular risk in OSA.
