The Effects of Continuous Positive Airway Pressure Therapy on Troponin-T and N-Terminal Pro B-Type Natriuretic Peptide in Patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnoea: A Randomised Controlled Trial

Untreated obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is associated with increased risk of coronary artery disease (CAD) and heart failure. High-sensitivity cardiac troponin (hs Trop-T) and B-Type Natriuretic Peptide (NT-pro-BNP) are sensitive biomarkers for myocardial injury and heart failure respectively. No randomised controlled trials have examined the treatment effect of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) in patients with OSA on these biomarkers.
