Sleep apnea therapy may lower cell damage in heart patients
NCT ID NCT02893865
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 28 people with both stable coronary artery disease and moderate sleep apnea. Researchers measured blood markers of oxidative stress (a type of cell damage) before and after 3 months of CPAP therapy. The goal was to see if CPAP could reduce oxidative stress, which might help explain how sleep apnea affects heart health.
