TL;DR

The research team of Coccagna and Lugaresi used direct measurements to document the blood pressure behavior during individual apnea episodes to study the effects on the hemodynamics during sleep as well as during the day.

Abstract

Sleep apnea, a nocturnal disturbance of the respiratory regulation, has effects on the hemodynamics during sleep as well as during the day. The first systematic inquiries into these relationships were conducted as early as 1965 by Jung and Kuhlo [1]. In 1972, the research team of Coccagna and Lugaresi used direct measurements to document the blood pressure behavior during individual apnea episodes [2].

Undiagnosed sleep apnea syndrome may be associated with systemic hypertension in many middle- and older-aged men and could be the cause of hypertension, and in others it may contribute to hypertension of another cause.

Presence of sleep apnoea in the patients was significantly correlated with higher blood pressure levels when they were initially seen in the clinic, and the degree of oxygen desaturation was correlated with the duration as well as the number of apNoeic events.

Pressure was slightly higher, but not to a significant degree, in REM stage than in stage 2, and variations became periodic from time to time, identifiable with the arterial pressure oscillations described by Sigmund Mayer; they were often accompanied by a respiratory periodicity.

The description of a fundamental rhythm of circadian variation of blood pressure which is dependant for its expression upon the alpha adrenoreceptor in the peripheral arteriole presents an entirely different way of looking at blood pressure and it is apparent that the effects of drugs which are used to control hypertension upon this rhythm may well be of fundamental importance.
