摘要:
SUMMARY Epidemiological data indicate a link between sleep‐disordered breathing and elevation of arterial pressure. Previous studies suggest increased activity of the sympathetic nervous system in patients with sleep apnoea. The response of muscle sympathetic nerve activity was further investigated in normal, awake subjects following exposure to 20 minutes of asphyxia. Sympathetic nerve traffic increased during exposure and remained elevated even after the return to room air breathing. These findings raise the possibility that this sustained elevation of sympathetic nerve traffic could play a role in the development of daytime hypertension in patients with sleep‐disordered brea
