Hypertension Essential Hypertension > 90% Secondary Hypertension < 10% Renal hypertension Endocrine hypertension Others
Possible Mechanisms of “Essential Hypertension” Heredity Environment Heart and Vessels ventricular hypertrophy, atherosclerosis... Nerve Impairment of autonomic nervous system... BP = CO * TPR Autonomic Nervous System Measurement of autonomic function is difficult in free moving subjects.

Most of the previous controversial results were obtained without a detailed classification of the sleep-wake states Hypothesis The changes in autonomic functions accompanied with hypertension are consciousness state dependent.
Aims To determine whether the cardiovascular autonomic functions have specific pathological changes in spontaneously hypertensive rats during sleep time

Summary 1 During quiet sleep (slow wave sleep), the sympathetic function should rest in normal condition: the deeper sleep, the lower sympathetic modulation. 2 During quiet sleep, the vagal function should activate. But the increase magnitude is not related with the sleep depth. 3 The baroreflex function should activate during quiet sleep.
Summary 4 The changes of autonomic functions during quiet sleep are reversed during paradoxical sleep (rapid eye movement sleep). 5 The cardiovascular sympathetic function does not rest during quiet sleep in SHR. 6 The baroreflex function does not activate during quiet sleep in SHR. 7 The changes in autonomic functions in SHR may be related to the changes in sleep quantity and quality.
Limitations Human study For the fixed polysomnography The size is too large, users must sleep in an unfamiliar environment. This may affect the accuracy of the collected data. For the ambulatory polysomnography The device is still large, and too expensive. Animal study The wires may cause some interference, including electrical noise and psychological stress
Research Motivation To develop the best equipment for the best sleep research For the human study accurate, miniature, wireless, low cost For the animal study accurate, miniature, wireless, low cost
