Abstract
Simulated obstructive hypopnea/apnea and central apnea induced considerable changes in BP, and obstructive hypopnea was associated with an increase in proximal aortic diameter. Further studies are needed to investigate effects of apnea and hypopnea on transmural aortic pressure and aortic diameter to define the role of OSA in the pathogenesis of aortic dilatation.
