Additional information

Study determined effects of intermittent hypoxia (IH) on the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular response to acute hypoxia and hypercapnia in an experimental human model that simulates the hypoxaemia experienced by obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) patients. Findings demonstrate that IH alters blood pressure and cerebrovascular regulation, which is likely to contribute to the pathogenesis of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease in patients with OSA. This study has been funded in part by the Hotchkiss Brain Institute and the Heart & Stroke Foundation of Canada (c/o Brugniaux).
