Mandibular Advancement Devices in Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Its Effects on the Cardiovascular System: A Comprehensive Literature Review.
J Clin Med
November 2024
Sleep Apnea Surgery Center, Department of Otolaryngology, Medical University of Bialystok, 15-089 Bialystok, Poland.
Background: Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSA) is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by endothelial dysfunction and cardiovascular complications. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is the standard treatment, hence poor adherence has prompted interest in mandibular advancement devices (MAD) as an alternative. This comprehensive review aimed to explore the effects of MAD therapy on oxidative stress, inflammation, endothelial function, and its impact on the cardiovascular risk in OSA patients.

Sleep Apnea Surgery Center, Department of Otolaryngology, Medical University of Bialystok, 15-089 Bialystok, Poland.
Background: Heart failure (HF) patients commonly experience obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), which may worsen their condition. We reviewed a diverse range of studies to investigate the prevalence of OSA in HF patients, the effects of positive airway pressure (PAP) treatment, and the potential impact of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) and sacubitril/valsartan on OSA outcomes.
Methods: We analyzed case-control, observational studies, and randomized controlled trials.
Long-term outcomes of pharyngoplasty for Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome.

Doctoral School of the Medical University of Bialystok, Bialystok, Poland.
Introduction: Pharyngoplasty techniques for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) have evolved, which improved the understanding of the anatomy, patient selection, and adoption of functional approaches. Aim: To analyze long-term results of pharyngoplasty in OSAS patients. Material and methods: Between 2007 and 2021, a total of 234 adult patients with OSAS who had previously failed positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy underwent sleep surgery.

Article Synopsis
- Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is common and often goes undiagnosed, and it is recognized as a significant risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD).
- The role of oxidative stress in causing health issues related to OSA remains unclear, though it's thought to play a key part in this connection.
- A systematic review compared the level of oxidative stress in OSA patients with CVD to those without, revealing a link between OSA and oxidative stress, but no significant difference in stress levels related to cardiovascular complications was found.
