“…As shown by multiple logistic regression analysis, this association was independent of other known risk factors for atherosclerosis. This result is in line with the study by Nachtmann et al [18] who found severe OSA (AHI >20/h) being predictive of stenotic artery disease of both, the extracranial and peripheral vessels. Interestingly, in that study, OSA was attributed a 100% risk increase for extracranial artery disease (OR = 2.0), which matches well with the OR of 1.90 found in the present study.…”

“…Studies on OSA treated with CPAP have demonstrated improved insulin resistance [40, 41], a reversal of the inflammatory response as evidenced by a decrease in serum endothelin-1 [34], an increase in serum nitric oxide levels [35], and a decrease in C-reactive protein and interleukin-6 [42], thus further supporting a relationship between OSA and the metabolic syndrome. Nachtman et al [43] found an independent association of the presence of atherosclerosis in carotid, vertebral and peripheral arteries in stroke patients. Although these studies suggest a relationship between OSA and atherosclerosis formation, there is presently no definite evidence to prove this.…”
