Funded Activity Summary

Erectile dysfunction is common in men with obstructive sleep apnea, due to vascular damage, which leads to heart attack. CPAP is the preferred treatment for patients with OSA because of its well-proven ability to decrease sleepiness and improve blood pressure control. This study will establish if CPAP can also improve erectile and vascular endothelial dysfunction. These results will shed light on the mechanisms that underpin the relationship between OSA and Erectile Dysfunction.
