The two sides of every story: New translational insights into the heterogeneity of the obstructive sleep apnea effect and its treatment

Mini symposium
Chairs: M. Sanchez De La Torre (Lleida, Spain), A. Pataka (Thessaloniki, Greece)
Aims: to describe the latest evidence supporting the heterogeneous effects of OSA and its treatment in different pathologies associated with this sleep breathing disorder; to identify the heterogenous effects of OSA and its treatment with CPAP, and its relationship with the genetic background of the patient; to explain the latest the potential dual effect of OSA as a deleterious disorder or potential promoter of protective mechanisms.

Differential effects of OSA and the response to its treatment: role of the genetic background O. Veatch (Kansas City, United States)
Potential dual effect of OSA on ischemic myocardium: from animal models to clinical data C. Arnaud (Grenoble, France)
From basic to clinical science in the relationship between OSA and cancer I. Almendros (Barcelona, Spain)
