Abstract
Apart from the common predisposing factors of Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Hypertension, there is also a bidirectional causal relation between these two diseases. The aim of this review is to describe the pathophysiological background of the interaction between them and to highlight the potential benefits of Continuous Positive Airway Treatment (CPAP) and several antihypertensive drugs on the alleviation of both conditions.
Keywords: Continuous positive airway pressure, human, hypertension, obstructive sleep apnoea, pathophysiology.

Exposure to PM2.5 components is associated with respiratory diseases
Through continuous research on the relationship between risk factors and health, it has been found that air pollution, especially atmospheric particulate matter pollution, has become one of the main sources of global disease burden. From 1990 to 2022, the concentration of atmospheric particulate matter pollution has increased by more than ...read more
