Journal ArticleDOI
Pathophysiology of Sleep Apnea
TL;DR: This work reviews three types of major long-term sequelae to severe OSA and discusses future research into understanding the pathophysiology of sleep apnea as a basis for uncovering newer forms of treatment of both the ventilatory disorder and its multiple sequelae.
Journal ArticleDOI
Population-Based Study of Sleep-Disordered Breathing as a Risk Factor for Hypertension
Terry Young,Paul E. Peppard,Mari Palta,K. Mae Hla,Laurel Finn,Barbara J. Morgan,James B. Skatrud +6 more
TL;DR: There is a dose-response relationship between sleep-disordered breathing and blood pressure, independent of known confounding factors and this relationship could account for hypertension in a substantial number of adults in the United States.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fatiguing inspiratory muscle work causes reflex reduction in resting leg blood flow in humans.
A. William Sheel,P. Alexander Derchak,Barbara J. Morgan,David F. Pegelow,Anthony J. Jacques,Jerome A. Dempsey +5 more
TL;DR: It is shown that fatigue of the inspiratory muscles via voluntary efforts caused a time‐dependent increase in limb muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) and reduction in limb blood flow also accompany inspiratory muscle fatigue, and diaphragm and forearm muscle fatigue showed very similar time‐ dependent effects on LVR and Q̇L.
Journal ArticleDOI
Exposure to hypoxia produces long-lasting sympathetic activation in humans.
TL;DR: It is concluded that both hypoxia and hypercapnia cause substantial increases in sympathetic outflow to skeletal muscle andHypercapnia-evoked sympathetic activation is short-lived, whereas hypoxic-induced sympathetic activation outlasts the chemical stimulus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fatiguing inspiratory muscle work causes reflex sympathetic activation in humans.
TL;DR: In the absence of any effect of increased central respiratory motor output per se on limb MSNA, the time‐dependent increase in MSNA was attributed to a reflex arising from a diaphragm that was accumulating metabolic end products in the face of high force output plus compromised blood flow.
