TL;DR
There is a dose-response relationship between sleep-disordered breathing and blood pressure, independent of known confounding factors and this relationship could account for hypertension in a substantial number of adults in the United States.
Abstract
There is a dose-response relationship between sleep-disordered breathing and blood pressure, independent of known confounding factors. If causal, the high prevalence of sleep-disordered breathing could account for hypertension in a substantial number of adults in the United States.

Waist circumference is a better predictor for sleep apnoea than neck circumference or BMI suggesting that the link between obesity and sleep apNoea cannot be explained solely by neck fat deposition.

It is concluded that the absence of diurnal variation in catecholamines prior to tracheostomy reflects increased nocturnal sympathetic activity, and Elevation of daytime norepinephrine and normetanephrine with return to control levels following trachostomy implies increased sympathetic activity throughout the day.
American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care MedicineDepressed Baroreflex Sensitivity in Patients With Obstructive Sleep Apnea
240 Citations1996Jan Carlson, Jan Hedner +3 more
It is concluded that OSA patients exhibit an impaired baroreflex sensitivity to a hypotensive stimulus, which may represent an adaptive response to changes in BP or hypoxemia occurring in association with nocturnal apneas.

The data suggest that the high prevalence of hypertension in OSA is primarily related to age and the excess obesity seen in these patients, particularly in morbidly obese young patients with OSA.

235 Citations1995Eugene C. Fletcher
An in-depth overview of the relationship between primary hypertension and adult obstructive sleep apnea syndrome is provided and Logic dictates that clinically symptomatic patients in hypertensive clinics should receive appropriate evaluation for apnea, but broad populations of hypertensive individuals should be referred for sleep studies.

It is concluded that age, SA, and overweight represent both independent and additive risk factors for development of systemic hypertension.
The American Journal of CardiologySleep apnea syndrome and essential hypertension
222 Citations1985Adrian J. Williams, Darryl Houston +4 more
Almost one-third of patients randomly selected had significant arterial O2 desaturation during sleep because ofSleep apnea, and it is suggested that sleep apnea may play a part in the development of essential hypertension.

Effective treatment of sleep apnea with nCPAP was associated with a significant fall in both systolic and diastolic BP independent of changes in body weight or alcohol consumption, suggesting thatSleep apnea was an independent factor contributing to elevated nighttime and daytime BP in these patients.

There is evidence for an independent association between sleep apnea and not only blood pressure, but also fasting insulin levels, according to the cross-sectionally examined relationship of various levels of apneic activity and measure of obesity.

It is unlikely that snoring and sleep hypoxaemia from occult sleep apnoea are important causes of diurnal systemic hypertension when compared with age, obesity, and alcohol consumption.

Case-control studies are recommended to assess the relation of endocrine factors to obstructive sleep apnea syndrome in a rigorous fashion and to distinguish symptomatic study subjects from asymptomatic subjects, and to exclude central apneas in calculating their estimates.

79 Citations1991Paul Levinson
Patients with OSA have abnormal sleep blood pressure patterns, manifested most frequently by apnea-associated blood pressure elevations, and substantial evidence suggests that the blood pressure alterations that occur during sleep could contribute to the high cardiovascular morbidity in patients with Osa.

It is speculated that the loss of evening-to-morning drop in blood pressure, if present over a long period of time, may lead to sustained elevations in arterial blood pressure frequently observed in patients with sleep apnea.

Both M and C reduce nocturnal BP in SA patients, but the effect of C is seen in all sleep phases, and C has a more favorable effect on the disturbed noctrial blood pressure of SA patients.

33 Citations1995Wallace B. Mendelson
Among patients across a spectrum of SDB, differences in diastolic BP were primarily associated with weight, age, and gender, and among OSA patients, perhaps because of a more limited variance in weight, diastolics BP was associated with measures ofSDB.
Journal of the American Statistical AssociationAssessing Secular Trends in Blood Pressure: A Multiple-Imputation Approach
31 Citations1994Daniel F. Heitjan, J. Richard Landis
The approach to estimating the underlying trends is to take untreated BP to be the variable of interest and to consider it missing in those subjects who are under treatment, then use a multiple-imputation scheme to construct estimates of trend parameters that adjust for the incompleteness of the original data.
Annals of Biomedical EngineeringMechanisms of ventilatory periodicities
19 Citations1993Allan I Pack, Allan Gottschalk
The study of ventilatory periodicities is relevant to the problem of obstructive sleep apnea because ventilation declines at sleep onset and the resultant changes in blood gases trigger an arousal, i.e., sudden transition to a lighter stage of sleep.
