Cardiovascular consequences of sleep disordered breathing: the role of CPAP treatment
2020
CPAP treatment decreases BP in OSA patients, especially in severe OSA, and in patients with poorly controlled BP. OSA adversely affects heart function and remodelling, but its role in the pathogenesis of HF remains unclear. Similarly, the impact of CPAP is uncertain, and results of the ongoing ADVENT-HF trial will provide more information. Several experimental studies in animals and humans indicate a central role of intermittent hypoxia in atherogenesis through multiple mechanisms. However, randomised controlled trials (RCTs) in patients with CAD and OSA found no difference in outcomes between CPAP-treated and untreated patients. The negative results of secondary prevention RCTs may be the …
Relationship of Cerebral Blood Flow Disturbances with Brain Oedema Formation
1993
Brain oedema is an important factor which compromises maintenance of the cerebral blood flow. Conversely, primary blood flow disturbances are leading to brain oedema. The mechanisms underlying blood flow impairment by brain oedema are associated with an increased regional tissue pressure in proportion to the degree of water accumulation in the parenchyma. The release of vasoactive mediator compounds might be considered in addition. Primary disturbances of the cerebral blood flow, such as focal or global cerebral ischaemia are leading to an increased cerebral water content. A decrease of the cerebral blood flow to ca. 40% of normal or below has been found to result in the development of brai…
