Hypertension and heart failure are clinically linked as both are conditions associated with sleep-disordered breathing [1] and impaired baroreflexes [2]. Furthermore, both are identified as risks associated with chronic insomnia [3], and untreated hypertension is a direct causal factor that can lead to the development of heart failure [4].

claimPatients with impaired baroreflexes, such as those with hypertension, heart failure, or premature infants, are susceptible to excessive autonomic responses to chemoreflex stimulation during apnea, which can lead to bradyarrhythmias, hypoxia, hypoperfusion, and sympathetic activation, potentially predisposing them to sudden death.

claimSleep-disordered breathing has been found in a high frequency of individuals with transient ischemic attacks (McArdle et al., 2003), hypertension (Morrell et al., 1999), myocardial infarction, and heart failure (Good et al., 1996; Shamsuzzaman et al., 2003).
