Enrollment: 106
Study Start Date: June 2007
Study Completion Date: November 2007
Groups/Cohorts
Group 1 - Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA)
Fifty-six patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Group 2 - Non-OSA Controls
Fifty individuals without OSA with similar age, gender and body mass index (BMI)
Group 3 - Treatment
Fifteen patients with moderate and severe sleep apnea from group 1 underwent treatment with continuous positive airway pressure
Group 4 - Placebo
Fifteen patients with moderate/severe sleep apnea underwent to placebo

Detailed Description:

Several studies have reported the association between sleep disorders to an increased risk to the development of cardiac disease. However, there is no substantial that about the influence of Obstructive Sleep Apnea on the right ventricular function. Objective: to analyse the right ventricular function in patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea by means of Real-Time Three dimensional Echocardiography.

  Eligibility

Ages Eligible for Study:   18 Years to 70 Years
Genders Eligible for Study:   Both
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:   Yes
Sampling Method:   Probability Sample
Study Population

Initially, 56 patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and 50 non-OSA controls underwent real-time three-dimensional echocardiography. 30 Patients with moderate and severe OSA underwent to continuous positive airway pressure treatment over 6 months. Echocardiogram will be repeated on the third and sixth months from the treatment onset.

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Individuals > 18 years old and < 70.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Body mass index greater than 35
  • Past of clinically significant cardiac conditions
