Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is linked to a variety of Cardiovascular Diseases (CVD) conditions, including hypertension, heart failure, coronary artery disease, pulmonary hypertension, atrial fibrillation, and stroke. Unfortunately, most occurrences of OSA in the United States go unnoticed and untreated, which means patients may be affected by this comorbid disorder. To address this health-care issue…
According to a study led by ResMed and presented at the American Thoracic Society‘s annual International Conference, sleep apnea sufferers can benefit from PAP (positive airway pressure) treatment in as little as two hours each night.

Apnimed believes there is a market for a new pharmaceutical therapeutic option for OSA, which affects 25 million Americans. Muscles that normally maintain the upper airway open collapse periodically during sleep in these people, resulting in occasional low oxygen levels and long-term morbidity.
