Journal ArticleDOI
Sympathetic neural mechanisms in obstructive sleep apnea.
TL;DR: It is concluded that patients with obstructive sleep apnea have high sympathetic activity when awake, with further increases in blood pressure and sympathetic activity during sleep, which are attenuated by treatment with CPAP.
Journal ArticleDOI
Metabolic Syndrome and Risk of Incident Cardiovascular Events and Death: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Longitudinal Studies
Apoor S. Gami,Brandi J. Witt,Daniel E. Howard,Patricia J. Erwin,Lisa A. Gami,Virend K. Somers,Victor M. Montori +6 more
TL;DR: The best available evidence suggests that people with MetSyn are at increased risk of cardiovascular events and should fuel research of other preventive interventions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sleep apnea and cardiovascular disease: an American Heart Association/American College of Cardiology Foundation Scientific Statement from the American Heart Association Council for High Blood Pressure Research Professional Education Committee, Council on Clinical Cardiology, Stroke Council, and Council on Cardiovascular Nursing.

Journal ArticleDOI
Sympathetic-Nerve Activity during Sleep in Normal Subjects
TL;DR: REM sleep is associated with profound sympathetic activation in normal subjects, possibly linked to changes in muscle tone and the hemodynamic and sympathetic changes during REM sleep could play a part in triggering ischemic events in patients with vascular disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sleep Apnea and Cardiovascular Disease An American Heart Association/American College of Cardiology Foundation Scientific Statement From the American Heart Association Council for High Blood Pressure Research Professional Education Committee, Council on Clinical Cardiology, Stroke Council, and Council on Cardiovascular Nursing In Collaboration With the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute National Center on Sleep Disorders Research (National Institutes of Health)

TL;DR: This first American Heart Association/American College of Cardiology Scientific Statement on Sleep Apnea and Cardiovascular Disease seeks to highlight concepts and evidence important to understanding the interactions between sleep apnea and cardiovascular disease, with particular attention to more recent advances in patient-oriented research.
