Abstract
This study shows that the percentage of subjects with detectable hs-cTnT is associated with the presence of OSA. It also evidences that treatment with CPAP is followed by a rise in hs-cTnT concentrations. It is reasonable to suggest that CPAP therapy might induce a potential degree of cardiac stress, resulting in deleterious consequences for the heart.
