    • In patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS), the blood coagulation system may contribute to an increased risk of cardiovascular events, which occur most frequently in the morning. Nasal continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP) treatment can improve the mortality of patients with OSAS. We measured the plasma fibrinogen concentration, which is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular events, in the afternoon (3:30 P.M.) and the next morning upon awakening (8:30 A.M.) in 11… CONTINUE READING
