A Randomized Controlled Study on the Effects of Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) on Visceral Fat Thickness, Carotid Intima-media Thickness and Adipokines in Patients With Obstructive Sleep Apnoea Syndrome (OSAS)
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating CPAP for Obstructive Sleep Apnea. Completed, enrolled 141 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
We hypothesize that patients with untreated OSAS will have more visceral fat, fatty liver and increased carotid artery thickness whereas treatment with CPAP may reduce the mesenteric and liver fat, plasma lipids, carotid artery thickness.
