Obstructive sleep apnea comorbid with insomnia symptoms and objective short sleep duration is associated with incident hypertension
The additive effect of COMISA on hypertension risk is associated with the ISSD phenotype, the most severe biological phenotype of insomnia. Obtaining objective sleep duration in addition to apnea/hypopnea and/or oxygen saturation indices may lead to a more accurate diagnosis and treatment of COMISA.
