Sleep apnea is a disorder characterised by repeated episodes of partial or complete upper airway obstruction during sleep, leading to disrupted breathing and intermittent hypoxia. It is clinically significant due to its impact on cardiovascular health, daytime somnolence, and impaired quality of life. Obstructive sleep apnea is strongly associated with hypertension and increased risk of stroke.
