What Is Obstructive Sleep Apnea?
Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) affects an estimated 20 million Americans and is associated with chronic disease states such as hypertension, heart failure, stroke, and morbid obesity. Diagnosis and treatment of sleep apnea can contribute to an improved quality of life and may decrease apnea-related morbidity and mortality.
