Abstract
- Background: The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between sleep apnea syndrome (SAS) and cardiovascular disorders, and to assess the efficacy of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) in SAS-associated arrhythmias. SAS is associated with cardiovascular disorders, such as hypertension, ischemic heart disease, and arrhythmias. CPAP is one of the effective treatments for SAS; however, this relationship and efficacy remain undefined. Methods and Results: The study population comprised 1413 Japanese subjects (mean age: 56.6 years old, 1123 men and 290 women) who were divided into two groups: SAS group (n=1064, apnea-hypopnea index (AHI)≥20) and control group (n=349, AHI
