Longitudinal changes of obstructive sleep apnea and its impact on cardiovascular outcomes: Results from the Sleep Heart Health Study - PubMed

6 hours ago

Longitudinal study shows obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) course is dynamic, with some participants developing OSA and others reverting to non-OSA over five years.
In men, increased risk of major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) was observed in groups with OSA development, reversion, or stable OSA, but not in women.
Increased apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) was linked to higher cardiovascular risk in men, and AHI reduction in OSA patients may not fully eliminate cardiovascular risk.
