RESUMEN
El síndrome de apnea-hipopnea del sueño se caracteriza por un cuadro de somnolencia diurna excesiva, trastornos cognitivos-conductuales, respiratorios, cardíacos, metabólicos o inflamatorios secundarios a episodios repetidos de obstrucción de la vía aérea superior durante el sueño. Numerosos estudios han demostrado que el SAHS se asocia a la presencia de hipertensión arterial y al desarrollo de enfermedades cardiovasculares. Asimismo se acepta un exceso de mortalidad asociado con el SAHS. Como mecanismos mediadores se consideran un aumento de actividad del sistema nervioso simpático, una disfunción endotelial, junto con fenómenos de estrés oxidativo, agregación plaquetaria y trombosis
ABSTRACT
Sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome is characterised by daytime sleepiness, cognitive-behavioural, respiratory, cardiac, metabolic or inflammatory disorders, secondary to repeated obstruction of the upper airway during sleep. Numerous studies have shown that SAHS is associated with the presence of arterial hypertension and the development of cardiovascular diseases. Similarly, there is an excess of mortality associated with SAHS. An increase in the activity of the sympathetic nervous system and endothelial dysfunction are considered as mediating mechanisms, together with phenomena of oxidative stress, platelet aggregation and thrombosis
