Obstructive sleep apnea/hypopnea syndrome (OSAS) is a disease with an important impact on human health, with an increasingly prevalent, because of the increased life expectancy and the greater knowledge and diagnosis of this disease. Its main treatment is the Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP), which reduces the harmful effect of this disease. Therefore, the early diagnosis and treatment is very important, as well as adherence to treatment. The study analyzes the differences in the incidence of cardiovascular events in patient diagnosed with OSAS who uses CPAP and those who do not use it or use it
