• Treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea Is Associated With Decreased Cardiac Death After Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Andrew Cassar, Timothy I. Morgenthaler, Ryan J. Lennon, Charanjit S. Rihal, Amir Lerman Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has been associated with increases in fatal and nonfatal cardiovascular events. The effect of treatment of OSA on cardiac death, mortality, major adverse coronary events (MACE), and major adverse coronary and cardiovascular events (MACCE) was studied in patients with OSA who had a percutaneous coronary intervention. The current study demonstrates an association between treatment of OSA and decreased cardiac death but not MACE or MACCE.
