[Beneficial effect of continuous positive airway pressure therapy in obstructive sleep apnea syndrome].
Continuous positive airway pressure therapy is an evidence based therapy of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. The effective treatment of obstructive sleep apnea can decrease sympaticotonia and, consequently, blood pressure. Furthermore, it can improve inflammatory and metabolic parameters resulting in a decreased cardiovascular risk. This article summarizes the positive effects of continuous positive airway pressure therapy on cardiovascular risk factors in obstructive sleep apnea syndrome.
