Clinical Approach to Heavy Snorers’ Disease and Other Sleep-Related Respiratory Disorders

  • Conference paper
Sleep Related Disorders and Internal Diseases

Abstract

The advent of polysomnographic techniques has vastly improved our understanding of respiratory disorders arising during sleep. Our studies in this field have already been discussed in previous reviews [1-3]. We will now attempt to delineate briefly the clinical features of the main nosological categories of sleep- related respiratory disorders, from snoring and the obstructive sleep apnea syndromes (OSAS) to central apneas and the idiopathic central alveolar hypoventilation (ICAH) syndromes.
