Background: Despite efforts at treatment, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) remains a major health problem, especially with increasing evidence showing an association with cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The treatment of choice for OSA patients is Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP), which has been proven in randomized controlled trials to be an effective therapy for this condition. The impact of CPAP on the cardiovascular pathology associated with OSA remains, however, unclear. Although the effect of CPAP has been previously studied in relation to cardiovascular outcome, follow-up of the treatment impact on cardiovascular risk factors at one year of therapy is lacking in a Romanian population. Thus, we aimed to evaluate the one-year effect of CPAP therapy on lipid profile, inflammatory state, blood pressure and cardiac function, assessed by echocardiography, on a cohort of Romanian OSA patients. Methods: We enrolled 163 participants and recorded their baseline demographic and clinical characteristics with a follow-up after 12 months. Inflammatory and cardiovascular risk factors were assessed at baseline and follow up. Results: Our results show that CPAP therapy leads to attenuation of cardiovascular risk factors including echocardiographic parameters, while having no effect on inflammatory markers. Conclusion: Treatment of OSA with CPAP proved to have beneficial effects on some of the cardiovascular risk factors while others remained unchanged, raising new questions for research into the treatment and management of OSA patients.

The review analyzes data from domestic and foreign sources focusing on the current state of a common problem of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. The article describes the main mechanisms of development and the possible relationships between the cardiovascular diseases, main risk factors in patients, and the sleep-related breathing disorder symptom-complex. The article provides the status update on the problem of continuous positive  airway pressure (CPAP) therapy consisting in creating positive airway pressure ventilation and provides rationale for studying its effects on cardiovascular risk factors in various subgroups of comorbid patients.
