The influence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) on thoracic aortic size is debated. We aimed to identify possible relations between sleep parameters and the sizes of the ascending aorta (AA), the descending thoracic aorta (DTA) and the main pulmonary artery (MPA), in patients with untreated OSA and in a subgroup of participants without comorbidities capable of affecting the size of great thoracic vessels.

Abstract
The influence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) on thoracic aortic size is debated. We aimed to identify possible relations between sleep parameters and the sizes of the ascending aorta (AA), the descending thoracic aorta (DTA) and the main pulmonary artery (MPA), in patients with untreated OSA and in a subgroup of participants without comorbidities capable of affecting the size of great thoracic vessels.File in questo prodotto:
