sleepapnea/muga/enjection fraction

[Midwest Alice]

I think using my CPAP for sleepapnea has an effect on my muga score. My theory is if I use my CPAP regularly my score will go up.

If you snore and have a low muga score you may want to be checked for sleepapnea.

Anyone else seen a relationship?

Thanks for the thread.

'Sleep apnea is said to affect 30% of CAD patients, and many CHFers and stroke survivors.' I would think it is because you have better oxygen intake when your breathing improves.

I am going to ask my doctor and see if I can get the medicine (Enalarprial) and also check on sleep apnea.
