28. SLEEP DISORDERED BREATHING (SDB) AND HEART FAILURE INCREASE MORBIDITY HF INCREASE MORTALITY HF CHEYNE STOKES BREATHING POOR PROGNOSTIC SIGN

31. OSA RISKS ANALYSIS ELEVATED C REACTIVE PROTEIN ELEVATED IL-6 ELEVATED TNFa IMPAIRMENT VASODILATION INCREASE IN ENDOTHELIN-1

32. SDB AND INSULIN RESISTANCE NOT DEPENDENT ON BODY MASS INDEX “EACH ADDITIONAL APNEA / HOUR INCREASED THE FASTING INSULIN LEVEL” INCREASED INSULIN LEVELS MOST PRONE TO DEVELOPMENT OF HTN
