Sommario/riassunto

The book provides a comprehensive overview of the medical implications, pathophysiology, and treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA), a disease that creates increased health risks, most notably those related to the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular systems. The opening chapters are dedicated to the definition of OSA,



its diagnosis, and the treatment options. The following chapters address primary forms of disease presentation in each medical field, with the latest evidence. Given its characteristics, the book will enable the reader to adopt a broad strategy for evaluating and managing OSA patients. In addition, it will be a valuable resource for all the clinicians who treat sleep-disordered breathing, including otolaryngologists, pulmonologists, cardiologists, neurologists, etc.
