Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Flow-mediated dilatation of the brachial artery

    The brachial artery dilator response to a 5-min period of forearm arterial occlusion will be measured using a vascular ultrasound scanner and a 7-MHz linear array probe.

    Baseline only

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • GTN-mediated dilatation of the brachial artery

    Baseline only

  • Forearm skin blood flow response to 5-min proximal-cuff arterial occlusion

    Baseline only

  • Forearm skin blood flow response to localised heating at 42 degrees C

    Baseline only

Study Arms (4)

Untreated OSA patients

Patients with obstructive sleep apnoea who are untreated

OSA patients highly compliant with CPAP

OSA patients established on CPAP therapy (high compliance, \> 80% nightly use for ≥ 4 h per night)

OSA patients poorly compliant with CPAP

OSA patients established on CPAP therapy (poor compliance, 10% \< nightly use \< 50% or \< 4 h per night)

Age and BMI-matched controls

Age and BMI-matched controls without OSA
