Description
Summary:Sanchez-de-la-Torre et al respond to comments from Sankari regarding their article on whether heart rate play a role in cardiovascular outcome in patients with obstructive sleep apnea. In response to Sankari's comment on their study, they present detailed information about the medications in the two groups of patients based on the phenotypes analyzed, which included some specific chronotropic drugs. As expected, the percentage of patients treated in the no previous cardiovascular disease (CVD) group was reduced compared with that in the previous CVD group. This difference could at least partially justify the finding that in the group of previous patients with CVD, we were not able to observe an increase in the recurrence of cardiovascular events in those patients with obstructive sleep apnea.
