measurementIn a 10-year observational study, patients with untreated severe obstructive sleep apnea (apnea-hypopnea index greater than 30) had a higher incidence of fatal and nonfatal cardiovascular events—including myocardial infarction, stroke, and coronary artery bypass surgery—compared to patients with similar severity who received CPAP treatment.

claimSleep loss and sleep complaints are associated with heart attacks (myocardial infarction) and potentially stroke, as evidenced by several large epidemiological studies and one case-control study.

claimSeveral large epidemiological studies (Eaker et al., 1992; Qureshi et al., 1997; Schwartz et al., 1998; Newman et al., 2000; Ayas et al., 2003; et al., 2005; Bradley et al., 2005; Caples et al., 2005) and one case-control study (Liu et al., 2002) associate sleep loss and sleep complaints with heart attacks (myocardial infarction) and potentially stroke.

claimAtherosclerosis is a pro-inflammatory state characterized by chronic low-grade inflammation that increases the risk of cardiovascular events such as myocardial infarction and stroke.
