Abstract
OSA is associated with a low-grade inflammatory process; hs-CRP serum levels are elevated in OSA patients when comparing to community controls, independently of age and BMI and the former have a significantly higher risk of cardiovascular events when compared to the latter. There was no significant decrease of both inflamatory mediators (hs-CRP, IL-6) after short and long-term APAP therapy.
