Is left atrial diameter independently associated with arterial stiffness in patients with obstructive sleep apnea : potential implications for atrial fibrillation?
Left atrial diameter is significantly increased and independently associated with arterial stiffness in patients with OSA. This potential mechanism of atrial remodeling may contribute to explain the increase risk of atrial fibrillation in these patients.
Our data demonstrate a concentration-dependent biotransformation of resveratrol in Caco-2 cells, which may also apply to human enterocytes affecting oral bioavailability.
