Abstract
There is a close relationship between the cardiovascular and respiratory systems, and between these systems and sleep, leading in turn to peculiar cardiovascular and respiratory changes during the sleep-wake cycle. Physiological changes during sleep may be disrupted in several pathological conditions, where cardiovascular and sleep alterations can be variably associated. Quality and duration of nocturnal sleep as well as sleep disorders (in particular sleep-related breathing disorders) have been reported as factors able to affect the health status and in particular the cardiovascular risk profileI documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
