Etiopathogenesis and Diagnosis of Obstructive Sleep Apnea: A Literature Review
Journal Title: Saudi Journal of Oral and Dental Research - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
Abstract:Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is increasingly being recognized as an important health issue in the last two to three decades. It is characterized by frequent episodes of upper airway collapse during sleep, causing recurrent arousals, intermittent hypoxaemia, sleep fragmentation and poor sleep quality. There is accumulating evidence that OSA is being considered as an independent risk factor for hypertension, glucose intolerance/diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular diseases and stroke, leading to increased cardiometabolic morbidity and mortality. Keywords:Obstructive, sleep, apnoea, hypoapnoea, apnea.
