== Important role of ANP (cardiac hormone) ==



I replaced the picture of the ancient CPAP device with one of a newer model. It would be nice if we could get some more up to date pictures of CPAP masks as well. Maybe with a bit of diversity in patients: overweight while males are not the only ones with sleep apnea. [[User:Nimlhûg|Nimlhûg]] ([[User talk:Nimlhûg|talk]]) 16:49, 23 March 2024 (UTC)

Neurologist Guy Leshziner describes in "The Nocturnal Brain" Page 83 (hardback) that ANP is produced in spikes many times a night in relation to sleep apnea / apnoea. This is an important but incredibly poorly understood symptom of sleep apnea/apnoea, and a major issue: sleep is disturbed by apnea/apnoea which causes ANP spikes which disturb sleep which causes worse symptoms: I am medically trained and had no idea the heart secreted hormones to control blood volume thinking it was done through kidneys: Drs should be aware patients presenting with "I snore and have to get up in the night to pee so much it disturbs my sleep" likely have *severe* sleep apnea/apnoea and are at high risk. Can someone please add this ? Thanks [[Special:Contributions/92.1.65.238|92.1.65.238]] ([[User talk:92.1.65.238|talk]]) 08:09, 7 April 2023 (UTC)

:That is Guy Leschziner—see an extract from ''The Nocturnal Brain'' at [https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-6744327/Could-chronic-tiredness-sign-silent-killer.html this unreliable source]. ANP is discussed at [[Atrial natriuretic peptide]]. [[User:Johnuniq|Johnuniq]] ([[User talk:Johnuniq|talk]]) 08:38, 7 April 2023 (UTC)

I found this article on Wikipediato be very informative, there is a lot of information on the topic which allows readers to really grasp the issue and relay how it is to live with it. - C[[User:Casscake|Casscake]] ([[User talk:Casscake|talk]]) 16:44, 7 February 2024 (UTC)

Additional Edit to Treatment (CPAP)

There is a recent meta-analysis that provides more evidence backing up the CPAP treatment: "It has been found through meta-analysis that continuous positive airway pressure therapy (CPAP) significantly improves patient's with obstructive sleep apnea measure of sleepiness. CPAP seems to benefit patients with more severe sleep apnea the most." (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure Therapy for Treating gess in a Diverse Population With Obstructive Sleep Apnea: Results of a Meta-analysis) Mktayloe (talk) 04:00, 29 November 2015
