Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is independently related with increased risk for hypertension, ischemic stroke, and myocardial ischemia [1-3]. The mechanisms of the increased cardiac and vascular events in patients with OSA are not well understood.

Arousals from sleep are as sociated with acute surges in blood pressure and heart rate [5-7]. The repeated arousals from sleep that occur in OSA may contribute to the increased risk of de-veloping hypertension [1, 8],
