Influence of obstructive sleep apnea and treatment with continuous positive airway pressure on fractional flow reserve measurements for coronary lesion assessment
Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, 08/05/09
Mak GS et al. – The authors show that the abnormal FFR across a coronary lesion in a patient with sleep disordered apnea improves (to a normal threshold) with the initiation of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). This finding may have implications for the mechanisms of cardiac dysfunction in patients with OSA.
