Continuous Positive Airway Pressure The - PubMed Mobile

More encouraging data on the wavefront of studies on the CVS effects of CPAP therapy on OSA.

Demonstrating an increase in nitric oxide and blood flow and a concommitant decrease in inflammatory mediators, the benefits are similar to and complents pharmacotherapy and exercise for the occlusive and thrombotic vascular diseases - ie. IHD, stroke, PVD.

It will be good to see sleep testing and CPAP become mainstay in the management and prevention of these vascular diseases
