Obesity, sleep apnea, aldosterone, and hypertension

Goodfriend, Theodore L.·2008·Current Hypertension Reports

Abstract

The pathogenesis of hypertension associated with obesity is unclear. This review provides evidence supporting excess visceral fat as an early aspect, and obstructive sleep apnea and elevated levels of aldosterone as factors closer to hypertension in the mechanistic chain. Features of visceral obesity and obstructive sleep apnea that may stimulate aldosterone secretion are described here. Possible therapeutic interventions addressing the hypertension associated with obesity are briefly mentioned.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
