ABSTRACT

Since its original description, obstructive sleep apnea syndrome has been linked to cardiovascular morbidity. In the last 10 years, a sufficient amount of epidemiological and pathophysiological evidence has been published to implicate an etiological role of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome in the development of high blood pressure, insulin resistance, obesity and hyperlipidemia, which not only will result in cardiovascular morbidity but also in increased mortality, predominantly in younger patients. The purpose of this review is to present the most significant, current clinical data in a simple, understandable, and succinct way and to explain why obstructive sleep apnea syndrome must be considered to be a clinical priority for the internist so that he can better treat patients with this category of illness.
