#ObstructiveSleepApnea
#ObstructiveSleepApnea may increase the risk of #cardiovasculardisease, though this risk is not fully captured through the #apnea-hypopneaindex (AHI). The present study examined whether a #polygenicriskscore for sleep apnea could personalize #cardiovascularrisk assessment in sleep apnea.

Hypoxic Burden Predicts BP Response to AD109 Treatment in OSA
Treatment with aroxybutynin and atomoxetine may be linked to increased blood pressure typically associated with high baseline hypoxic burden in obstructive sleep apnea.
