May heighten hypoxic BP reactivity; leaves open clinical relevance and sustained effects.
Does short-term intermittent hypoxia alter cardiovascular and ventilatory responses to progressive hypoxia in humans?
Short-term intermittent hypoxia leads to an enhanced arterial blood pressure response to hypoxic stimuli, potentially driven by increased peripheral chemosensitivity.
Katayama et al. (2001) studied this question.
