Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Average oxygen saturation

Time Frame: Change from Baseline to 84±4days

Average oxygen saturation was assessed by home sleep apnea testing(HSAT)

Secondary Outcomes

  • Lowest saturation(baseline and 84±4days)
  • Percentage of total sleep time associated with saturation lower than 90% (T90SaO2 )(baseline and 84±4days)
  • AHI(baseline and 84±4days)
  • Heart rate variability(baseline and 84±4days)
  • Low density lipoprotein-cholesterol(LDL-C)(baseline, 28±2days and 84±4days)
  • Epworth sleepiness scale (ESS)(baseline and 84±4days)
  • Quality of life scale (WHOQOL-BREF)(baseline and 84±4days)
  • Coronary flow reserve(baseline and 84±4days)
  • Platelet(PLT) count(baseline, 28±2days and 84±4days)
  • Glycosylated hemoglobin (HbAlc)(baseline and 84±4days)
