Upper airway obstruction (UAO) is an unrecognized source of hemodynamic stress that may contribute to aortic adverse events in persons with Marfan Syndrome (MFS). UAO occurs during snoring and sleep apnea and is characterized by repetitive partial or complete obstruction of the upper airway during sleep. These obstructive breathing events lead to intermittent surges in blood pressure (BP) REF and large decreases in pleural pressure (Pes), thereby increasing the trans-mural aortic pressure (TMP) and imposing mechanical stress on the aorta during sleep. Although UAO is known to increase mechanical stress on the aorta, the magnitude of the increase is not known for persons with MFS.
In this project, therefore, the investigators will also examine the changes in Pes and BP responses in periods of obstructed breathing and compare the diurnal markers or vascular stress between Baseline and CPAP studies in MFS persons.
| Condition or disease | Intervention/treatment | Phase |
|---|---|---|
| Sleep-disordered Breathing Snoring | Device: CPAP | Not Applicable |
Research Objective/Significance:
Specific Aim 1a: To quantify the Pes and BP during periods with and without UAO during sleep in persons with MFS.
Specific Aim 1b: To examine the effect of CPAP treatment of UAO on Pes and BP in MFS persons.
Specific Aim 2: To examine the effect of CPAP treatment of UAO on daytime markers of hemodynamic stress (augmentation index, reactive hyperemia index) in MFS persons.

Secondary Outcomes:
| Study Type : | Interventional (Clinical Trial) |
| Actual Enrollment : | 31 participants |
| Allocation: | Randomized |
| Intervention Model: | Crossover Assignment |
| Intervention Model Description: | Participants will be assigned to a Baseline polysomnography and CPAP polysomnography in a randomized fashion. Participants will then be switched to the second polysomnography within 14 days of the first. The baseline polysomnography represents the exposure to sleep disordered breathing and the CPAP polysomnography represents the relief of the exposure. Markers of hemodynamic stress will be assessed in the morning after both studies. |

Active Comparator: Baseline Sleep Study
Baseline sleep polysomnography will involve the collection of electroencephalogram, electromyogram, electrocardiogram, airflow, heart rate, blood pressure, and pleural pressure during sleep with no CPAP. Participants in this arm would switch to CPAP within one week of the study.
|
Device: CPAP
Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). Room air at pressures between 6-8 centimeters of water (cmH2O) delivered via heated humidified tubing and a nasal mask.
|
|
Experimental: CPAP Sleep Study
Participants will be treated with continuous positive airway pressure to relieve sleep-disordered breathing. Participants in this arm would switch to Baseline study within one week of the study.

Device: CPAP
Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). Room air at pressures between 6-8 centimeters of water (cmH2O) delivered via heated humidified tubing and a nasal mask.
