Abstract: Symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) often are overlooked or misinterpreted, but without treatment, patients are at increased risk for potentially life-threatening conditions including stroke and heart failure. Clinician awareness of the risk factors for and treatment of OSA can prevent the development or progression of these complications in patients. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
