Description
Peer-reviewed by internationally recognized experts
This book aims to provide a comprehensive and clear review of the current knowledge
of the relationship between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and cardiovascular
and metabolic diseases, a subject of concern to a wide range of specialists
and general practitioners. Separate chapters describe: the definition, symptoms
and sequelae of OSA, and the diagnostic strategies and treatment options for
adults with OSA according to the American Academy of Sleep Medicine; pathogenic
mechanisms, by which OSA may contribute to the development and progression of
cardiovascular and metabolic disorders, including inflammation, oxidative stress
and thrombosis; links between OSA and obesity, alterations in glucose metabolism,
metabolic syndrome and liver injury; relationships between OSA, endothelial
dysfunction, autonomic dysfunction and cardiovascular disorders, and the results
of studies investigating the effect of treatment for OSA on the concomitant
cardiovascular disease.
Each chapter summarizes the essential information and is illustrated by tables
and figures, which will aid the readers in their understanding of the complex
systemic interactions involved in this disease.
Reviewed by internationally recognized experts, this publication will be of
benefit to clinicians and scientists in the fields of pulmonology, cardiology,
endocrinology and neurology as well as to sleep specialists and general practitioners.
