Independent associations between arterial bicarbonate, apnea severity and hypertension in obstructive sleep apnea
BACKGROUND: Obstructive sleep apnea is characterized by intermittent hypoxia and hypercapnia. CO(2) production, transport and elimination are influenced by the carbonic anhydrase enzyme. We hypothesized that elevated standard bicarbonate, a proxy for increased carbonic anhydrase activity, is associa...
