Sleep Apnea Treatment Linked to Improved Heart Function | Health | English
voanews.com — “Using a breathing machine to treat sleep apnea can improve heart function and may prevent heart failure, according to British researchers.

It uses a face mask to gently force air into the breathing passages, to keep them open.” View full resource at voanews.com
