May implicate chemoreflex in OSAS autonomic oscillations; hypothesis-generating and leaves open clinical relevance.
Does the carotid body chemoreflex explain the relationship between low-frequency oscillations in interbeat interval and diastolic pressure in patients with OSAS?
The relationship between low-frequency oscillations in interbeat interval and diastolic pressure in OSAS can be explained primarily by the carotid body chemoreflex.
Aardweg et al. (1995) studied this question.
