CURRENT ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Our area of expertise is cardiovascular problems in OSA patients.
We are interested to evaluate de effect of OSA in the incidence of cardiovascular disease and to evaluate different therapeutic options. To this end we use telemonitoring systems and epidemiological tours.
We study the pathogenic mechanism that relates OSA to metabolic disturbances and cardiovascular problems.
We study biological markers related to oxidative stress, sympathetic activation endothelial dysfunction and inflammation. We also investigate the molecular and genetic bases and susceptibility of those alterations in OSA patients
