OSA does not affect the CPET variables in hypertensive elderly, but it attenuates the HRR. The association between OS during sleep with ventilatory responses probably occurs due to the adaptations in the oxygen transport system unleashed via mechanical respiratory feedback; thus, it has been identified that OSA compromises the oxygen supply in hypertensive elderly.
The original version of this article was published online containing two items that require correction, namely the abstract (Results section) and Table 3.In the abstract (Result's section), instead of "No-OSA group presented a positive correlation between oxygen consumption and O 2 S (r = 0.66, p = 0.01), unlike the OSA group." the statement should read "OSA group presented a positive correlation between oxygen consumption and O 2 S (r = 0.60, p = 0.02), unlike the no-OSA group
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
