Why the study?
Are sympathetic nerve responses to hypoxia exaggerated in borderline hypertensive subjects compared to normotensive controls?
Are sympathetic nerve responses to hypoxia exaggerated in borderline hypertensive subjects compared to normotensive controls?
Borderline hypertensive subjects exhibit an exaggerated sympathetic nerve response to hypoxia, particularly during apnea, which may contribute to excess sympathetic activity and adverse consequences of sleep apnea.

May link exaggerated hypoxic responses to sleep apnea risks in borderline hypertension; hypothesis-generating, needing prospective confirmation before clinical implications.
Somers et al. (1988) studied this question.
