CRP and Hypertension: 2016). Another recent paper demonstrated that inflammation was associated with objectively measured daytime sleepiness in patients with OSA, but not with subjectively measured sleepiness, suggesting a link between inflammation and underlying subclinical cardiometabolic dysfunction in OSA (Li et al. 2017). Furthermore, we have previously demonstrated a cross‐sectional, dose–response relationship between CRP levels in patients with OSA and comorbid hypertension compared to nonhypertensive apneics and controls (Gaines et al. 2015).
