Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) induces inflammation and vascular damage that might contribute to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, the mechanisms linking OSA and CVD are not fully understood. Pentraxin3 may play a significant role in vascular inflammation and damage. Currently, there is lack of data on pentraxin3 and its role in vascular damage associated with OSA.
