Abstract
On its own, SAHS leads to left ventricular hypertrophy. Diastolic involvement is common in these patients, although a large number of healthy individuals who are obese also present it. The MPI is higher in SAHS and could be a useful parameter to identify patients with silent heart disease before it progresses.
