Association of obstructive sleep apnoea with cardiovascular events in women and men with acute coronary syndrome.

Background

The impact of sex on the association of obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) with recurrent cardiovascular events following acute coronary syndrome (ACS) remains uncertain. This study sought to examine the association between OSA and long-term cardiovascular outcomes in women and men with ACS.
