Excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) in certain patients with sleep apnea syndrome may be the result of intermittent upper airway obstruction during sleep. The possible occurrence of daytime hypertension and pulmonary hypertension (PH) in these patients has been emphasized. Transient and sometimes severe elevations of systemic and pulmonary arterial pressures during sleep as a result of intermittent upper airway obstruction may lead to EDS, daytime hypertension, and PH. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether daytime hypoxemia and hypoxemia during sleep contribute to EDS, daytime hypertension, and PH. The results indicate that: (1) sleep disturbance and blood gas changes while awake and asleep may play a role for EDS, although these abnormalities were not present in some cases, (2) hypoxemia while awake and asleep is probably not involved in daytime hypertension, and (3) mean resting pulmonary arterial pressure is correlated with daytime PO2, PCO2, %IBW, %FVC, and FEV1.0%, Cardiopulmonary hemodynamic function may return to normal in some patients who receive appropriate treatment.

D006970 Disorders of Excessive Somnolence Disorders characterized by hypersomnolence during normal waking hours that may impair cognitive functioning. Subtypes include primary hypersomnia disorders (e.g., IDIOPATHIC HYPERSOMNOLENCE; NARCOLEPSY; and KLEINE-LEVIN SYNDROME) and secondary hypersomnia disorders where excessive somnolence can be attributed to a known cause (e.g., drug affect, MENTAL DISORDERS, and SLEEP APNEA SYNDROME).

D006973 Hypertension Persistently high systemic arterial BLOOD PRESSURE. Based on multiple readings (BLOOD PRESSURE DETERMINATION), hypertension is currently defined as when SYSTOLIC PRESSURE is consistently greater than 140 mm Hg or when DIASTOLIC PRESSURE is consistently 90 mm Hg or more.

D012891 Sleep Apnea Syndromes Disorders characterized by multiple cessations of respirations during sleep that induce partial arousals and interfere with the maintenance of sleep. Sleep apnea syndromes are divided into central (see SLEEP APNEA, CENTRAL), obstructive (see SLEEP APNEA, OBSTRUCTIVE), and mixed central-obstructive types.
