During obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), systemic (Psa) and pulmonary (Ppa) arterial pressures acutely increase after apnea termination, whereas left and right ventricular stroke volumes (SV) reach a nadir. In a canine model (n = 6), we examined the effects of arousal, parasympathetic blockade (atropine 1 mg/kg iv), and sleep state on cardiovascular responses to OSA. In the absence of arousal, SV remained constant after apnea termination, compared with a 4.4 ± 1.7% decrease after apnea with arousal (P < 0.025). The rise in transmural Ppa was independent of arousal (4.5 ± 1.0 vs. 4.1 ± 1.2 mmHg with and without arousal, respectively), whereas Psa increased more after apnea termination in apneas with arousal compared with apneas without arousal. Parasympathetic blockade abolished the arousal-induced increase in Psa, indicating that arousal is associated with a vagal withdrawal of the parasympathetic tone to the heart. Rapid-eye-movement (REM) sleep blunted the increase in Psa (pre- to end-apnea: 5.6 ± 2.3 mmHg vs. 10.3 ± 1.6 mmHg, REM vs. non-REM, respectively, P < 0.025), but not transmural Ppa, during an obstructive apnea. We conclude that arousal and sleep state both have differential effects on the systemic and pulmonary circulation in OSA, indicating that, in patients with underlying cardiovascular disease, the hemodynamic consequences of OSA may be different for the right or the left side of the circulation.
