Several studies have shown the occurrence of an independent association between
obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) and cardiovascular disease, including arterial …

Secondary hypertension affects a small but significant number of the hypertensive
population and, unlike primary hypertension, is a potentially curable condition. The …

Rationale: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is linked to increased cardiovascular risk, but the
impact of mild forms of OSA and their treatment on cardiovascular outcomes remains …

Background: Patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) are at increased risk for
hypertension. The mechanisms responsible for the development of hypertension are …

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with recurrent episodes of nocturnal hypoxia
and increased risk for development of systemic hypertension. Prior studies have been …

Background Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is an independent risk factor for
arterial hypertension. Several controlled trials have investigated the effect of continuous …

BACKGROUND Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) can result in hypertension and significantly
increase cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. There are few reports on the long-term …

Background: Researchers have discovered that blood pressure (BP) varies in a diurnal
manner throughout a 24-hour period, being higher during the day and lower at night. Most …

Objective: To analyze the long-term effect of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) on
ambulatory BP in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and hypertension, and to …

Background: Sleep apnea is being studied as a risk factor for hypertension. This
observational chart review was conducted to determine the long-term effects of continuous …
