pubmed:abstractText
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. Platelets play key roles in the development of atherothrombosis. Several studies assessing platelet activation in patients with OSA have been published; however, there have been only a few studies with a small number of patients with OSA investigating platelet aggregability, which evaluates platelet aggregation more directly than the platelet activation status. We aimed to investigate the effects of OSA and nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP) therapy, a well-established treatment for OSA, on platelet aggregability.
