Intermittent hypoxia changes the interaction of the kinin–VEGF system and impairs myocardial angiogenesis in the hypertrophic heart
Abstract Intermittent hypoxia (IH) is a feature of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), a condition highly associated with hypertension‐related cardiovascular diseases. Repeated episodes of IH contribute to imbalance of angiogenic growth factors in the hypertrophic heart, which is key in the progression o...
