Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are independent risk factors for cardiovascular diseases; COPD acts as an additive risk factor in OSA patients for cardiovascular diseases[1]. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy is the recommend-ed therapy for COPD-OSA overlap, as it/because it improves survival, nocturnal hypoxemia, quality of life[2], and reduces hospitalisations [3].
