Objective: The RICCADSA trial is designed to address if CPAP treatment reduces the combined rate of new revascularization, myocardial infarction, stroke and cardiovascular mortality over a mean follow-up period of 3-years in CAD patients with OSA (Apnea-Hypopnea-Index [AHI]>=15 per h) without daytime sleepiness (Epworth Sleepiness Scale [ESS]<10). Secondary outcomes include cardiovascular biomarkers, cardiac function, maximal exercise capacity and quality of life at baseline, 3-month- and 1-year follow-up as well as polysomnographic findings and adherence to CPAP therapy.
