The effects of intermittent hypoxia on the vasculature and the carotid baroreflex regulation of arterial pressure
Intermittent hypoxia (IH) occurs in association with obstructive sleep apnea and is thought to contribute to the pathogenesis of hypertension. The proposed mechanisms involved include endothelial dysfunction, arterial stiffness, increased vascular resistance and impaired arterial baroreflex. We soug...
