The spectrum of sleep-disordered breathing ranges from primary
snoring at one end to obstructive sleep apnea and central sleep
apnea at the other end. The first chapter in this book provides
current state of knowledge about the mechanisms of obstructive
sleep apnea and central sleep apnea and reviews emerging therapies
for these disorders. Furthermore, sleep apnea usually has
multifactorial causes and affects multiple organic systems
resulting in increased cardiovascular morbidity, disturbing sleep
quality, metabolic balance, glucose and cholesterol levels,
arterial hypertension and thus increasing cardiopulmonary and
vascular morbidity. The second chapter summarises the main findings
in literature and provides a brief and concise differential
diagnosis. The authors of the third chapter expose and discuss
current evidence of neurosurgical conditions and their role in the
genesis and progression of sleep apnea. They emphasise the adequate
treatment and future perspectives. The following chapter examine
the effect of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) on the eye.
Different ophthalmologic disorders are associated with OSAS
including floppy eyelid syndrome, retinal vein occlusion, and
central serious retinopathy. The last chapter in this book is
focused on QT dispersion in patients with obstructive sleep apnea,
with increased QT dispersion potentially reflecting disturbed
myocardial repolarisation and predisposition to cardiac
arrhythmias.
