Continuous Positive Airway Pressure Therapy and Long-Term Outcomes in Patients with Coronary Artery Disease and Obstructive Sleep Apnea: A Meta-Analysis of Randomized Trials

Announcing a new article publication for Cardiovascular Innovations and Applications journal. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is highly common in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and it is a strong predictor of subsequent cardiovascular events. However, whether treatment with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) can decrease this risk remains controversial.

PubMed, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library, and ClinicalTrials.gov were systematically searched to identify randomized clinical trials reporting cardiovascular events from database inception to February 12, 2022.
