The resultant repetitive hypoxemia, arousals from sleep, and other effects are associated with several adverse health effects including systemic hypertension, cardiac arrhythmias, heart failure, pulmonary hypertension, stroke, and diabetes. Daytime sleepiness and neuropsychiatric effects of OSA are also a considerable burden to patients. Prevalence of OSA is high with an estimated global case load nearing 1 billion. Lab based polysomnography is still considered the gold standard for the diagnosis of OSA. In recent years, the use of home-based sleep apnea testing has increased and has been incorporated in to the American Academy of Sleep Medicine's recommended clinical algorithm for testing and treatment of OSA. The cornerstone of treatment remains positive airway pressure devices along with weight loss and risk factor modifications. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment has been consistently shown to lower blood pressure, reduce sleepiness, and is associated with improvements in heart failure metrics and readmission rates.
