ABSTRACT
Augmented blood pressure variability has emerged as a quantity predictive of adverse cardiovascular outcomes. Among the range of intrinsic and extrinsic factors shown to increase night-time, circadian, short-term, and long-term blood pressure variations, the presence and severity of obstructive sleep apnea have emerged as one of the most prevalent and potent. Obstructive sleep apnea alters acutely the normal nocturnal equilibrium between sympathetic and parasympathetic tone, magnifying nocturnal blood pressure oscillations, and induces sustained autonomic aftereffects with the capacity to amplify short-term and intersessional blood pressure variabilities. The object of this brief review is to synthesize the current understanding of the potential interrelations between obstructive sleep apnea, the acute and sustained autonomic disturbances that it elicits, and beat-to-beat blood pressure fluctuation during sleep, nocturnal dipping status, and day-to-day blood pressure variability and the consequences of these perturbations for cardiovascular risk.
