“…(15,18) We can speculate that this correlation might be an initial presentation of the systemic arterial hypertension that develops in patients with nocturnal oxygen desaturation, since the autonomic dysfunction in blood pressure control, due to upregulation of the baroreflex controlled by carotid bodies, has been well established in experimental models and clinical studies of OSAS. (11) Oxidative stress is certainly a factor related to intermittent hypoxemia.…”

“…Some studies have revealed no reduction in aerobic capacity on the cycle ergometer test, (12,13) whereas others have reported a significant reduction. (14,15) One study showed a significant increase in VO 2 max after the use of noninvasive support ventilation. (25) However, in those studies, would allow exploratory associative analyses among the principal variables of interest.…”

“…The impact of obstructi sleep apnoea (OSA) on exercise capacity remains unclear, given some studies have shown that this disorder reduces exercise capacity (2 others have found no differences in exercise capacity between OSA and non-OSA populations (7 Several factors impact aerobic capacity, as measured by cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET). Severe obesity reduces exercise capacity because fat mass interferes with cardiac and respiratory function (13).…”

“…A person's sex also has an influence on exercise capacity, which could be at least 20%-40% lower in women than in men (15). These variables have not always been considered, however, when interpreting the results of studies that have evaluated exercise capacity in patients with OSA (2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)12). Moreover, these reports have included only a small number of women; therefore, their results might not extend to this population.…”
