Abstract

We have recently demonstrated the development of systemic hypertension in a canine model of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), but the underlying physiological mechanisms were not identified. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine the effect of OSA on arterial baroreceptor control of heart rate (HR) in this canine model. OSA was produced in three dogs for 1 to 3 mo. Baroreflex control of HR was determined with graded infusions of vasoactive agents (phenylephrine and nitroprusside) administered over 30 to 60 s, during which steady-state systolic blood pressure (BP) and cardiac R-R interval responses were recorded. BP was measured with a permanently implanted arterial catheter and a telemetry system. Although, as previously reported, OSA resulted in increases in daytime (awake) mean BP of 6.0 to 26.8 mm Hg, there was no change in daytime baseline HR or in the slope of the systolic BP–R-R interval curve (p > 0.2). The findings demonstrate that OSA in the dog is associated with resetting of the baroreceptors to a higher pressure, but no change in baroreflex sensitivity.

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Repeated episodes of hypoxia, either from obstructive sleep apnea or experimental induction, result in elevation of blood pressure and altered metabolic function.

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.
