“…There is inconsistency in the evidence supporting an association between pediatric OSA and cardiac remodeling. As suggested by previous reviews [21,22], said controversy may be due to heterogeneity in their designs, comprising characteristics of participants (anthropometric variables and medical history), recruitment strategies, follow-up periods, OSA diagnosis and stratification, composition of control groups, echocardiographic parameters, and echocardiographic imaging methods.…”

Exposure to risk factors in youth can exacerbate the development of future cardiovascular disease (CVD). Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), characterized by repetitive episodes of airway obstructions, could trigger said CVD acting as a modifiable risk factor. Measurements from echocardiography have shown impairments in the anatomy and function of the heart related to the severity of OSA. Therefore, the aim of this review was to propose a new clinical approach to the management of cardiovascular risk (CVR) in children based on treating OSA. The review includes studies assessing echocardiographic parameters for cardiac function and structure in pediatric OSA diagnosed using the apnea–hypopnea index (AHI) ≥ 1/h using polysomnography (PSG) and conducted within a year. Based on the reviewed evidence, in addition to PSG, echocardiography should be considered in OSA children in order to indicate the need for treatment and to reduce their future CVR. A follow-up echocardiography after treatment could be performed if impairments in the anatomy and function were found. Prioritizing parameters intimately connected to comorbidity could propel more effective patient-centered care. In conclusion, a reevaluation of pediatric OSA strategies should be considered, emphasizing comorbidity-related parameters in the cardiovascular field. Further studies are needed to assess this approach, potentially leading to enhanced protocols for more effective pediatric OSA treatment and CVR prevention.
