The severity of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome cannot predict the accumulation of brain amyloid by imaging with [11C]-Pittsburgh compound B PET computed tomography in patients with a normal cognitive function

Objective Disturbed sleep due to obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) might accelerate amyloidβ (Aβ) deposition, which can be a crucial factor in Alzheimer’s disease. We studied Aβ deposition in untreated OSAS patients with normal cognition. Method We performed polysomnography (PSG) and Aβ imagin...
