In this episode of OnAir, we ask whether treatment-adherent OSA patients could be lowering their cardiovascular risk while they sleep. Professor Frédéric Gagnadoux and host Nina Wiklund explore the design, results and implications of his recent 5,000-patient cohort study, which indicates that CPAP can deliver a significant reduction in major adverse cardiovascular events. They ask which patients are likely to benefit, discuss the importance of hours of usage, and consider the tools that clinicians can use to support therapy adherence. Listen to learn about the potential impact of CPAP therapy on the cardiovascular health of your OSA patients.
