Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS) is associated with an increased risk of arterial hypertension (AH), coronary artery disease, atrial arrhythmias, heart failure, stroke and death. Whether OSAS influences aortic root size has not been fully investigated. The aim of our study was to investigate aortic root diameter and aortic stiffness in OSAS.
