Heart Failure / Sleep Apnea Link
April 11, 2007
A study that monitored 164 people over seven years (results to be published in Journal of the American College of Cardiology on April 17th) appears to show a link between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and fatal heart failure. According to the study, heart failure patients who suffer from untreated OSA are twice as likely to die from heart failure as those who do not suffer from OSA.
