Can Nasal Continuous Positive Airway Pressure Decrease Clinic Blood Pressure in Patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea?

Abstract: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is commonly associated with systemic hypertension and now recognized as an independent risk factor for daytime hypertension. We aimed to study the short- and long-term effect of nasal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) in hypertensive and normotensive patients with OSA. Forty-six patients with moderated to severe OSA were treated with nasal CPAP and followed after one year of treatment. Clinic blood pressure, heart rate, and body weight were taken before and followed up fo… Show more

“…Although it has been reported that intubation presents a greater difficulty in patients with a high BMI (Voyagis et al 1998;Mansharamani et al 2000;MacIntyre et al 2001;Wong et al 2004), respiratory complications (Asai et al 1998) and obstructive sleep apnea (Tun et al 2003) are observed more frequently, and the mortality rate is higher (Tremblay and Bandi 2003). To the best of our knowledge, the relationship between BMI and the CLT has not been pointed out in previous studies.…”

“…However, the approach of this study was similar to previous investigations [1,10], using sphygmomanometer-obtained clinic BP readings. In one study, a significant reduction in BP was found regardless of antihypertensive medication use in a group of 46 OSA patients (21 normotensive and 25 hypertensive) followed for 1 year.…”

“…This decrease in BP has been rather small [1][2][3][4][5][6] or rather substantial [7][8][9][10][11][12]. In addition, some studies showed an isolated decrease in systolic (SBP) [13,14,15] or diastolic blood pressure (DBP) [1-3, 11, 16].…”

“…In addition, it was shown that the cingulate cortex in subjects with OSA was less active than that in healthy subjects (35). Several studies have reported a reduction in nocturnal cardiac ischemic episodes and an improvement in daytime blood pressure levels and left ventricular function with long-term nasal CPAP (nCPAP) treatment (30,54). Furthermore, it has been shown that the treatment of OSA with an OA results in a significant reduction in hypertension (18), which is similar to that reported with nCPAP.…”
