AI Article Synopsis
- Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and hypertension significantly increase the risk of cardiovascular disease and mortality, and studies show they are interconnected.* -
- This review examines how OSA impacts blood pressure, including its effects on nocturnal blood pressure, response to CPAP treatment, and its contribution to blood pressure variability and cardiac remodeling.* -
- The article also highlights the influence of ethnicity and social determinants on OSA, emphasizing disparities in blood pressure control and cardiovascular health within Asian populations.*
Article Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and hypertension are two important modifiable risk factors for cardiovascular disease and mortality. Numerous studies have highlighted the interplay between these two conditions. We provide a critical review of the current literature on the role of the OSA as a risk factor for hypertension and its effect on blood pressure (BP). We discuss several key topics: the effect of OSA on nocturnal BP, BP response to continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment, CPAP effect on BP in refractory hypertension, the role of OSA in BP variability (BPV), and maladaptive cardiac remodeling mediated by OSA's effect on BP. Finally, we discuss the unique aspects of ethnicity and social determinants of health on OSA with a focus on Asian populations and the disparity in BP control and cardiovascular outcomes.
