Abstract
Many studies have shown an association of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) with incident cardiovascular diseases, particularly when comorbid with insomnia, excessive sleepiness, obesity hypoventilation syndrome, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have demonstrated that treatment of OSA with positive airway pressure devices (CPAP) improves systemic hypertension, particularly in those with resistant hypertension who are adherent to CPAP. However, large RCTs have not shown long-term benefits of CPAP on hard cardiovascular outcomes, but post hoc analyses of these RCTs have demonstrated improved hard outcomes in those who use CPAP adequately. In theory, low CPAP adherence and patient selection may have contributed to neutral results in intention-to-treat analyses. Only by further research into clinical, translational, and basic underlying mechanisms is major progress likely to continue. This review highlights the various treatment approaches for sleep disorders, particularly OSA comorbid with various other disorders, the potential reasons for null results of RCTs treating OSA with CPAP, and suggested approaches for future trials.
