Topline results from the exploratory trial indicate the aldosterone synthase inhibitor did not reduce the apnea-hypopnea index but provided clinically meaningful blood pressure reduction in adults with moderate-to-severe OSA and hypertension.
Some sleep specialists are already prescribing GLP-1s to sleep apnea patients with obesity. With a potential OSA indication looming, how could this impact sleep apnea treatment?
For each outcome—cardiovascular disease, driving accidents, diabetes, mental health, cognitive function, quality of life, and many others—it details why the evidence for CPAP is inadequate, over and over again.
