The hypoglossal nerve controls tongue movement. The Inspire® sleep implant works by stimulating this nerve. This process is called hypoglossal nerve stimulation, or “HGNS.” In this study, we are interested in seeing how HGNS affects blood pressure and heart-related measures and if it lowers the risk of heart problems in …
The research study is being done to look at the effect of sleep apnea surgery on different measures ofcardiovascular (heart) function in people with obstructive sleep apnea.
