Short sleep duration and insomnia have been linked to higher risk of cardiovascular disease and CVD related mortality. Likewise, obstructive sleep apnea has been shown to confer a higher cardiovascular risk and is reported to be associated with 52-70% of acute myocardial infarctions and strokes. Hypertension (HTN), diabetes (DM), weight gain, sleepiness, fatigue and depression have all been correlated with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Patients with pituitary adenomas (PA), p...

Introduction: Sleep disorders (SD) confer high cardiovascular risk (related to 52–70% of acute myocardial infarctions and strokes). Hypertension (HTN), diabetes (DM), weight gain, sleepiness, fatigue and depression have been correlated with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Patients with pituitary adenomas (PA) present with reported sleep dysfunction, fatigue and metabolic risk factors that may persist despite treatmentAim: Assess the correlation betwe...
