Why OSA may be Regarded as the Real Hidden Killer in Diabetes
Journal Title: Journal of Endocrinology and Diabetes - Year 2014, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OSAS) is a common and usually overlooked phenomenon causing a deep reduction in oxygen delivery to the body tissues and a serious disruption of the sleep pattern. Furthermore there are scattered reports in the medical literature pointing to a role of this respiratory disturbance on sudden death. We hypothesize that the phenomenon may have a role in the vascular damage and the high cardiovascular death rate of diabetes interacting at least at three consecutive steps.
