Background Millions of individuals with obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) are treated by
CPAP aimed at reducing blood pressure (BP) and thus cardiovascular risk. However …

Background CPAP reduces blood pressure (BP) in patients with symptomatic obstructive
sleep apnoea (OSA). Whether the same benefit is present in patients with minimally …

Background CPAP is considered the therapy of choice for OSA, but the extent to which it can
reduce BP is still under debate. We undertook a systematic review and meta-analysis of …

Objective Studies suggest that continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy may
decrease blood pressure for patients with obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). However, these …

Background: A randomised controlled study was undertaken to examine the effect of nasal
continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) on 24 hour systemic blood pressure (BP) in …

Background The obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS) is conventionally treated by
continuous positive airway pressure set at a fixed level (fCPAP). Automatic mask pressure …

Background: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) may lead to the development of hypertension
and therapy with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) can promote reduction in …

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is an extremely common comorbid condition in patients with
hypertension, with a prevalence of~ 50%. There is growing evidence suggesting that OSA is …

Patients with untreated obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea (OSAH) are predisposed to
developing hypertension, and therapy with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) may …

Objective: In a randomised controlled trial, we investigated the blood pressure (BP) lowering
effect of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) in patients with moderate-severe …
