Study objectives: Obstructive sleep-disordered breathing is accompanied by episodic increases in left ventricle afterload due to large negative swings in intrathoracic pressure and repetitive surges in arterial pressure. ...

Parental History of Adenotonsillectomy Is Associated with Obstructive Sleep Apnea Severity in Children with Snoring

Alexopoulos, E. I.; Charitos, G.; Malakasioti, G.; Varlami, V.; Gourgoulianis, K.; Zintzaras, E.; Kaditis, A. G. (2014)

Objective To test the hypothesis that history of adenoidectomy and/or tonsillectomy (AT) in at least 1 of the parents during childhood, is a risk factor for moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) (apnea-hypopnea ...
