Does treatment of obstructive sleep apnoea lead to improved microvascular endothelial function in the systemic circulation?
In patients with OSA, treatment with CPAP improves baseline endothelial NO release and stimulates endothelium dependent vasorelaxation in the systemic circulation. This is a potential mechanism for improving systemic and vascular function in patients with OSA treated with CPAP.
The study findings suggest an association between maternal dietary patterns and several cardiometabolic markers during pregnancy.
