The results have been diverse, depending on the type of cardiovascular event or risk factor investigated, the patients' cardiovascular risk, the severity or type of the SDB, and the analysis of the primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular events [1].Sleep apnoea impacts negatively on different diseases beyond the cardiovascular sphere http://ow.ly/ZdOC309KHXD ER -
