Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

In this prospective trial 50 patients, diagnosed with moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) (AHI \> 15/h sleep) will be included and treated with mandibular advancement devices (MAD). These patients will undergo cardiovascular examination; echocardiography and 24h-blood pressure monitoring, on top of the normal clinical evaluation of OSA patients. These cardiovascular examinations will take place before and during MAD therapy.
