Conditions

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Changes in endothelium mediated response to brachial artery reactivity test between baseline and 4 and 12 weeks after CPAP therapy

    Ultrasound based brachial artery reactivity tests will be performed at entry before CPAP therapy and at 4, 12 weeks post CPAP use and 5-7 days after CPAP withdrawal

    14 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Changes in arterial stiffness between baseline and after CPAP treatment

    14 weeks

  • Changes in coronary artery flow under a cold pressor test

    13 weeks

Study Arms (1)

Clinically prescribed CPAP therapy

Other: Clinically prescribed CPAP therapy

Interventions

Eligibility Criteria

Age21 Years - 50 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64)

You may qualify if:

  • subjects naïve of CPAP therapy just recently diagnosed with moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The degree of OSA is defined by results of a comprehensive polysomnogram requiring an apnea hypopnea index (AHI) \>15 events/hour and Epworth score \>10, or an AHI \>20 events/hour
  • either sex
  • any race
  • between 21-50 years old.

You may not qualify if:

  • Systolic blood pressure \>160 mmHg, or diastolic blood pressure \>100 mmHg
  • Changes in antihypertensive medications in the last 6 weeks
  • Restless leg syndrome
  • Average overnight oxygen saturation below 80%
  • Current use of beta-blockers
  • History of coronary artery disease
  • History of Stroke
  • Atrial fibrillation
  • Peripheral vascular disease
  • Suspected cardiac valve abnormality
  • Ejection fraction \<50%
  • Type I and type II Diabetes Mellitus (DM)
  • Asthma or confirmed Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
  • Cigarette smoking in the last 6 months
  • Raynaud's disease
  • +3 more criteria
