Abstract
Background: It is well known that obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) prevalence increases as body mass index (BMI) increases. Patients with OSA experience nocturnal apnea episodes which can result in hypoxemia, transient elevation of right atrial pressures, and a possible increase in right to left shunting. As such, OSA diagnosis and therapy may be tailored to address right-to-left shunting in these patients. Whether the prevalence of PFO in OSA
