Considers the relationship between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and cardiovascular disease, right and left ventricular dysfunction, and hypertension. Sleep Apnea analyzes · techniques to identify, diagnose, and monitor sleep-induced upper airway obstruction · developments in functional brain imaging associated with sleep and sleep deprivation · advances in oral appliance and continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapies and explores · breakthroughs in the establishment of genetic, environmental, and developmental factors of OSA · the significance of cytokines in sleep regulation · the effect of sleep on ventilatory control Summarizing landmark studies in the field and providing more than 2000 contemporary references to facilitate further scientific investigation, Sleep Apnea is an in-depth guide for pulmonologists; physiologists; chest, pulmonary, thoracic, and cardiovascular physicians and surgeons; cardiologists; respiratory therapists; clinical neurologists; sleep disorder specialists; and upper-level undergraduate, graduate, and medical school students in these disciplines.
