Effect of Liraglutide vs CPAP on Cardiometabolic Outcomes in Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Summary

This is an explorative, proof-of-concept study exploring the potential therapeutic role of a Liraglutide-based weight loss regimen versus standard CPAP or the combination of both on metabolic parameters, blood pressure, endothelial function, coronary artery calcification, vascular inflammation and apnea/hypopnea index in non-diabetic patients with moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea
