Impaired vascular regulation in patients with obstructive sleep apnea: effects of continuous positive airway pressure treatment.
Am J Respir Crit Care Med
December 2009
Departments of Medicine, School of Medicine and Public Health, University of Wisconsin-Madison and Middleton Veterans Administration Hospital, Madison, WI, USA.
Rationale: Impaired endothelium-dependent vasodilation has been documented in patients with sleep apnea. This impairment may result in blood flow dysregulation during apnea-induced fluctuations in arterial blood gases.
Objectives: To test the hypothesis that hypoxic and hypercapnic vasodilation in the forearm and cerebral circulation are impaired in patients with sleep apnea.
