Effects of nighttime single-dose administration of vasodilating vs sympatholytic antihypertensive agents on sleep blood pressure in hypertensive patients with sleep apnea syndrome.

ABSTRACT: Obstructive sleep apneas syndrome (OSAS) is associated with nocturnal hypertension with higher sleep blood pressure (BP) and its variability, both of which increase cardiovascular risk. In this crossover design study, the effect of nighttime single-dose administration of vasodilating (nifedipine 40 mg) vs sympatholytic (carvedilol 20 mg) antihypertensive agents on sleep BP in 11 hypertensive OSAS patients was evaluated. The authors recently developed a trigger sleep BP monitor with an oxygen-triggered function that initiates BP measurement when oxygen desaturation falls. The BP-lowering effects of nifedipine on the mean (P<.05) and minimum sleep systolic BPs (SBPs) (P<.01) were stronger than those of carvedilol. Sleep SBP surge (difference between the hypoxia-peak SBP measured by oxygen-triggered function and SBPs within 30 minutes before and after the peak SBP) was only significantly reduced by carvedilol (P<.05). The nighttime dosing of both vasodilating and sympatholytic antihypertensive drugs is effective to reduce sleep BP but with different BP-lowering profiles.

Project description:Importance:Hypertension in childhood may continue into adulthood and lead to adverse cardiovascular outcomes. Evidence suggests that adenotonsillectomy for childhood obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) may be associated with blood pressure (BP) improvement. However, how adenotonsillectomy is associated with BP in hypertensive and nonhypertensive children with OSA remains unclear. Objective:To investigate disparities in BP changes after adenotonsillectomy in hypertensive and nonhypertensive children with OSA. Design, Setting, and Participants:From January 1, 2010, to April 30, 2016, children (aged <18 years) with symptoms of OSA treated at National Taiwan University Hospital were enrolled in this retrospective case series study. Interventions:Children underwent polysomnography for diagnosis of OSA (apnea-hypopnea index >1). All children with OSA underwent adenotonsillectomy. Main Outcomes and Measures:Preoperative and postoperative overnight polysomnographic data were obtained. Office BP was measured in a sleep center before (nocturnal BP) and after (morning) polysomnography. Results:A total of 240 nonobese children (mean [SD] age, 7.3 [3.0] years; 160 [66.7%] male and 80 [33.3%] female) with OSA were recruited. Postoperatively, the apnea-hypopnea index decreased significantly from 12.1 to 1.7 events per hour (95% CI of difference, -12.3 to -8.4 events per hour). The whole cohort had a significant decrease in nocturnal diastolic BP (66.9 to 64.5 mm Hg; 95% CI of difference, -4.1 to -0.7 mm Hg) and morning diastolic BP (66.9 to 64.4 mm Hg; 95% CI of difference, -4.2 to -0.8 mm Hg). The number (percentage) of patients with diastolic BP in the greater than 95th percentile decreased significantly nocturnally (48 [20.0%] to 33 [13.8%]; 95% CI of difference, -12.1% to -0.4%) and in the morning (52 [21.7%] to 34 [14.2%]; 95% CI of difference, -13.6% to -1.4%). Postoperatively, hypertensive children had a significant decrease in all BP measures, including mean (SD) nocturnal and morning systolic BP (nocturnal: 107.5 [8.6] mm Hg; morning: 106.0 [9.4] mm Hg), systolic BP index (nocturnal: -4.3 [8.6]; morning: -5.7 [8.5]), diastolic BP (nocturnal: 65.1 [11.5] mm Hg; morning: 64.4 [10.1] mm Hg), and diastolic BP index (nocturnal: -10.7 [17.3]; morning: -11.6 [15.7]), whereas the nonhypertensive group had a slight increase in nocturnal systolic BP (103.8 to 105.9 mm Hg; 95% CI of difference, 0.4-3.9 mm Hg). A generalized estimating equation model for subgroup comparisons revealed that children with hypertension, compared with those without, had greater improvement in all BP measures. Conclusions and Relevance:Hypertensive children with OSA had a significant improvement in BP after adenotonsillectomy. Hypertensive children with OSA should be screened and treated by adenotonsillectomy because proper treatment not only eases OSA symptoms but also potentially prevents future cardiovascular and end-organ disease.
