Abstract
Acute hypoxia increased compensatory HR responses to LBNP-dependent reductions in BP. Those normotensive individuals with higher BP at rest and during LBNP developed greater degrees of hypoxia-induced hemoglobin desaturation. Patients with sleep apnea with periods of hypoxemia are prone to hypertension; more important, patients with higher BPs also demonstrate greater degrees of hypoxia-induced desaturation of oxyhemoglobin.
