The purpose of this study is to determine whether patients with obstructive sleep apnea have any changes in left atrial morphology and function evaluated by echocardiography three dimensional
Several studies have been suggesting that Obstructive Sleep Apnea contributes to deterioration of left ventricular diastolic function . It may lead to atrial myocardium stretching and enlargement which may be associated to increased risk of cardiovascular events. We hypothesized that morphological and functional LA changes might be found using three dimensional echo, and that such alterations are related to obstructive sleep apnea presence.

The investigators recruited 56 recently diagnosed OSA patients, confirmed by full polysomnography (PSG), referred to Sleep Laboratory of Psychobiology Department of Federal University of Sao Paulo, Brazil, according to the following inclusion criteria: both genders aging from 29 to 70 years old, with apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) >5 events/hour of sleep. Control group comprised 50 healthy community subjects without OSA confirmed by full PSG, matched by age, gender, and BMI.
