Obstructive sleep apnea and insight into mechanisms of sympathetic overactivity.
Nearly two decades ago, we evaluated ten patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). We determined that alarming nocturnal oscillations in arterial pressure and sympathetic nerve activity (SNA) were caused by regulatory coupling and neural interactions among SNA, apnea, and ventilation. Patients with OSA exhibited high levels of SNA when awake, during normal ventilation, and during normoxia, w...
متن کاملSympathetic Overactivity in Chronic Kidney Disease: Consequences and Mechanisms
The incidence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) is increasing worldwide, with more than 26 million people suffering from CKD in the United States alone. More patients with CKD die of cardiovascular complications than progress to dialysis. Over 80% of CKD patients have hypertension, which is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Another common, perhaps underappr...
متن کاملObesity-Related Metabolic Syndrome: Mechanisms of Sympathetic Overactivity
The prevalence of the metabolic syndrome has increased worldwide over the past few years. Sympathetic nervous system overactivity is a key mechanism leading to hypertension in patients with the metabolic syndrome. Sympathetic activation can be triggered by reflex mechanisms as arterial baroreceptor impairment, by metabolic factors as insulin resistance, and by dysregulated adipokine production ...
متن کاملObesity and adipokines: effects on sympathetic overactivity.
Excess body weight is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease, increasing the risk of hypertension, hyperglycaemia and dyslipidaemia, recognized as the metabolic syndrome. Adipose tissue acts as an endocrine organ by producing various signalling cytokines called adipokines (including leptin, free fatty acids, tumour necrosis factor-α, interleukin-6, C-reactive protein, angiotensinogen an...
متن کاملSympathetic Overactivity and Coronary Risk in Hypertension
The association between sympathetic overactivity and hypertension has been extensively studied but the link between sympathetic excess and coronary risk has not been clearly defined. There is a mounting body of evidence that suggests that there is a strong association between the sympathetic nervous system and increased cardiac risk independent of hypertension which has been gleaned from observ...
