Sleep disordered breathing is frequently associated with repeated arousals and hypoxia resulting from intermittent partial or complete collapse of upper airway during sleep. There is an emerging recognition of the association of this disorder with metabolic abnormalities, coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure and hypertension. Of these conditions, the data associating obstructive sleep apnea and hypertension are the most compelling. This review evaluates the recent literature investigating this association and identifies areas where additional research is needed.
睡眠呼吸紊乱常与睡眠期间上呼吸道间歇性部分或完全塌陷导致的反复觉醒和缺氧相关。人们逐渐认识到这种疾病与代谢异常、冠状动脉疾病、充血性心力衰竭和高血压之间的关联。在这些病症中，将阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停与高血压联系起来的数据最具说服力。这篇综述评估了近期研究这种关联的文献，并确定了需要进一步研究的领域。
