Effect of sleep disturbances on blood pressure.
This review summarizes recent literature addressing the association of short sleep duration, shift work, and obstructive sleep apnea with hypertension risk, blood pressure (BP) levels, and 24-hour ambulatory BP. Recommendations include efforts to educate patients and health care providers about the importance of identifying and treating sleep disturbances for hypertension prevention and management. Empirically supported sleep health interventions represent a critical next step to advance this research area and establish causality.

The association of reduced lung function with blood pressure variability in African Americans: data from the Jackson Heart Study.
The reseaerchers evaluated the association between percent predicted lung-function and 24-hour blood pressure variability (BPV) in 1008 African Americans enrolled in the Jackson Heart Study who underwent ambulatory blood pressure (BP) monitoring. They found that lung-function was not associated with increased 24-hour BPV.
