Primary Endpoint
The differences of supine bicycle exercise echocardiographic parameters and PWV before and after CPAP therapy, and between CPAP group and sham CPAP group.

Study Overview

Brief Summary

The association of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and cardiac diastolic dysfunction have been reported, and improvement of diastolic function after continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) in OSA patients was observed. However, more detailed analysis of diastolic function by supine bicycle exercise echocardiography is lacking. The investigators hypothesized that 3 months of CPAP therapy in OSA patients will significantly improve diastolic functional parameters measured by exercise stress echocardiography. Patients with severe OSA (Apnea-hypopnea index > 30) will be included in this study, and randomized to CPAP versus sham-CPAP group by 1:1 ratio. Supine bicycle exercise echocardiography, pulse wave velocity, 24 hours ambulatory blood pressure (BP), central BP will be checked before and after CPAP therapy and parameters will be compared.
