Reassessing the effects of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) on arterial stiffness and peripheral blood derived CD34+ progenitor cells in subjects with sleep apnea

Abstract Background Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and vascular health. Peripheral blood-derived CD34+ progenitor cells have been used as biomarker for CVD risk and may play a similar role in OSA and CVD risk assessment. Although there a...
