Abstract

Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is caused by repeated episodes of apnea–hypopnea due to upper airway obstruction leading to oxygen desaturation. OSAS is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease including hypertension, coronary artery disease, and stroke. OSAS is common affecting 5–20% of the general population, and it is still underdiagnosed in many cases.
