The Link between Sleep Apnea and Cardiovascular Disease: Understanding the Mechanisms and Management
Received Date: Dec 02, 2024 / Published Date: Dec 31, 2024
Abstract
Sleep apnea, particularly obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), has been increasingly recognized as a significant risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD). The intermittent cessation of airflow during sleep leads to repeated hypoxia, increased sympathetic nervous activity, and systemic inflammation, all of which contribute to the development and progression of cardiovascular disorders. This article reviews the pathophysiological mechanisms connecting sleep apnea with CVD, explores the clinical implications of this association, and discusses current management strategies to mitigate the cardiovascular risks in affected individuals.
