Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), characterized by episodes of upper airway collapses
and sleep fragmentation, is the most prevalent sleep-breathing-disorder. Recent researches
suggest the overall prevalence of OSA ranges from 9% to 38% in the general adult population
[
[1]
]. Many studies have demonstrated the independent relationship between OSA and cardiovascular
(CV) diseases [
