Sleep apnea can contribute to PH-HFpEF by causing intermittent low oxygen levels (hypoxia) and increased pressure in the pulmonary arteries. This can strain the heart over time, worsening both pulmonary hypertension and heart failure. Treating sleep apnea, often with CPAP therapy, may help manage PH-HFpEF symptoms and slow progression. Early diagnosis and treatment are essential for better outcomes.
