Severity of Obstructive Sleep Apnea is Associated with Cardiac Troponin I Concentrations in a Community-based Sample: Data from the Akershus Sleep Apnea Project

Abstract

Increased obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) severity is independently associated with higher concentrations of hs-TnI, suggesting that frequent apneas or hypoxemia in OSA may cause low-grade myocardial injury.
