Impairment of Endothelium-Dependent Vasodilation of Resistance Vessels in Patients With Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Open accessAbstract
Background —Patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) experience repetitive episodic hypoxemia with consequent sympathetic activation and marked blood pressure surges, each of which may impair endothelial function. We tested the hypothesis that patients with OSA have impaired endothelium-dependent vasodilation, even in the absence of overt cardiovascular disease. Methods and Results —We studied 8 patients with OSA (age 44±4 years) and 9 obese control subjects (age 48±3 years). Patients with OSA were newly diagnosed, never treated for OSA, on no medications, and free of any other known diseases. All obese control subjects underwent complete overnight polysomnographic studies to exclude occult OSA. Resistance-vessel function was tested by use of forearm blood flow responses to intra-arterial infusions of acetylcholine (a vasodilator that stimulates endothelial release of nitric oxide), sodium nitroprusside (an exogenous nitric oxide donor), and verapamil (a calcium channel blocker). Conduit-vessel function was also evaluated by ultrasonography. Brachial artery diameter was measured under baseline conditions, during reactive hyperemia (with flow increase causing endothelium-dependent dilatation), and after sublingual administration of nitroglycerin (an endothelium-independent vasodilator). Patients with OSA had a blunted vasodilation in response to acetylcholine ( P <0.007), but responses to sodium nitroprusside and verapamil were not significantly different from those of control subjects. No significant difference in conduit-vessel dilation was evident between OSA patients and obese control subjects. Conclusions —Patients with OSA have an impairment of resistance-vessel endothelium-dependent vasodilation. This may be implicated in the pathogenesis of hypertension and heart failure in this condition.

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.
