Upper Airway Muscle Stiffness in Obstructive Sleep Apnea Assessed by Shear Wave Elastography.
OBJECTIVE In obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), characterized by recurrent episodes of apnea and hypopnea, the activity of the upper airway dilator muscles is significant. In our study, we aimed to compare shear wave elastography (SWE) values of the genioglossus (GG), geniohyoid (GH), and mylohyoid (MH) muscles in patients...
