Obstructive Sleep Apnea Treatment on Cardiovascular Events in Patients With Acute Cardiogenic Pulmonary Edema: CPAP-CARE STUDY.
Obstructive Sleep Apnea Treatment on Cardiovascular Events in Patients With Acute Cardiogenic Pulmonary Edema: CPAP-CARE STUDY.
Despite the advances in the treatment of acute cardiogenic pulmonary edema (ACPE), the
 readmissions rates and cardiovascular events remain very high. In this context, it is
 possible that other potential risk factors may influence the poor prognosis of the ACPE. One
 of these potential candidates is Obstructive Sleep Apnea(OSA). This study was designed to
 evaluate the impact of OSA treatment with CPAP in consecutive patients with ACPE. The primary
 outcome will be to evaluate the impact of CPAP on the recurrence of ACPE in the 1-year
 follow-up.
