claimA single night of inadequate sleep in people with existing hypertension can cause elevated blood pressure throughout the following day.
claimObstructive sleep apnea is associated with heart disease, as sufferers typically experience multiple awakenings each night due to airway closure and brief surges in blood pressure upon waking, which can lead to chronic hypertension over time.
claimChronic elevation of blood pressure, known as hypertension, is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease and can result from the repeated blood pressure surges associated with obstructive sleep apnea.

claimThe allostasis perspective, as described by DiNicolantonio et al. (2017), suggests that dietary salt may be an 'innocent bystander' rather than a culprit in hypertension, as the brain under stress establishes an elevated set point for blood pressure and may recruit salt consumption to maintain circulatory volume.
claimHomeostasis models the cause of hypertension by pointing to abnormal functionality of the heart, blood vessels, kidneys, or molecular signaling, whereas allostasis explains that the brain deliberately directs these organs on an anticipatory basis to elevate blood pressure for the delivery of resources like glucose and oxygen to large muscle groups.
claimHypertension is defined as a state of persistent blood pressure elevation where the body's system fails to maintain its normal state.

claimThere is a dose-response relationship between Obstructive Sleep Apnea and hypertension, where a higher apnea-hypopnea index correlates with a greater increase in blood pressure.
claimA causal association between Obstructive Sleep Apnea and hypertension is supported by a dose-response relationship where higher apnea-hypopnea index levels correlate with greater increases in blood pressure, as reported by Peppard et al. (2000) and Nieto et al. (2000).
