Default obstructive sleep apnea's sympathetic activation
Is this an appropriate physiologic response to activate the symp nerv system where there's hypoxia/hypercapnia? I was studying contractility physiology, and hypoxia/hypercapnia reduces contractility (which is an effect of reducing sympathetic activation).

There doesn't seem to be much concrete pathophys information about OSA out there...

Thank you.
