Invited Review: Physiological and pathophysiological responses to intermittent hypoxia

Abstract: This mini-review summarizes the physiological adaptations to and pathophysiological consequences of intermittent hypoxia with special emphasis given to the pathophysiology associated with obstructive sleep apnea. Intermittent hypoxia is an effective stimulus for evoking the respiratory, cardiovascular, and metabolic adaptations normally associated with continuous chronic hypoxia. These adaptations are thought by some to be beneficial in that they may provide protection against disease as well as improve exerci… Show more

“…27 Furthermore, the desaturation-reoxygenation sequence characterizing intermittent hypoxia constitutes a major stimulus, even more potent than continuous hypoxia, which leads to oxidative stress, systemic inflammation, and generalized vascular endothelial damage adversely affecting myocardial function. 25,28 The present study also shows that SBDs and especially OSA is common in IPF extending previous observations. 2,3 This rate of occurrence is even higher from the 10% of OSA encountered in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), rendering the term "overlap" syndrome even more appropriate for the coexistence of OSA and IPF.…”
