Abstract

Cardiovascular researches recently focus our interests on sleep issues. Sleep deprivation caused by recurrent episodes of apnea may precipitate cardiovascular disease. Unsocial, loud snoring with periods of cessation of breathing has been recognized as an independent risk factor for arterial hypertension, ischemic heart disease and stroke. Untreated sleep apnea results in deterioration of left ventricle function and precipitates occurrence of cardiac arrhythmias. It has been also well established that central sleep apnea accompanies failing heart where it may worsen outcome. The most important message out of numbers of research is amelioration of cardiovascular condition soon after introduction of CPAP therapy.
