Association of Obstructive Apnea with Thoracic Fluid Shift and Small Airways Narrowing in Asthma During Sleep
Abstract
Rationale: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is highly prevalent among patients with asthma, suggesting a pathophysiological link between the two, but a mechanism for this has not been identified.
Hypothesis: Among patients with asthma, those with OSA will have greater overnight increases in thoracic fluid volume and small airways narrowing than those without OSA.
