[Nocturnal Blood Pressure Fluctuations in Obstructive Sleep Apnea-Hypopnea Syndrome].

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Patients with sleep apnea/hypopnea syndrome and episodes of increased systolic pressure during sleep, with and without arterial hypertension, and HT as a marker of increased cardiovascular risk, were studied in a prospective study. The objective of our study was to demonstrate that patients with increased systolic pressure during sleep who also had arterial hypertension had a higher cardiovascular risk than non-hypertensive patients.

Methods

We analyzed various biometric (muscle mass index, baseline blood pressure) and polysomnographic parameters, including AHI (apnea-hypopnea index/hour), O2 desaturation index/hour, arousal index, baseline and minimum O2 saturation and the proportion of different sleep phases, together with comorbidities and associated treatments
