      Sleep apnea ABCs: Airway, breathing, circulation
      Reena Mehra, MD, MS
      Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine August 2014, 81 (8) 479-489; DOI: https://doi.org/10.3949/ccjm.81gr.14002

      Obstructive sleep apnea is common, poorly recognized, and, if untreated, leads to serious health consequences.
