Objective Impairment of circadian blood pressure (BP) patterns has been associated with
cardiovascular risks and events in individuals with hypertension and in general populations …

Objective Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has been identified as the most common
secondary contributing factor for the development and worsening of hypertension. However …

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a risk of hypertension and is associated with
cardiovascular disease (CVD) incidence. In Asian countries, the prevalence of OSA is high …

Background To evaluate association of 24 h–systolic blood pressure (SBP) variability and
obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) as defined by the apnea-hypopnea index≥ 5/h; and …

Background Abnormalities in sleep duration and circadian blood pressure (BP) rhythm are
both independently associated with increased risk of death and cardiovascular disease. The …

Background The relationship between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and the occurrence of
arrhythmias and heart rate variability (HRV) in hypertensive patients is not elucidated. Our …

Background The impact of the co-occurrence of hypertension and obstructive sleep apnea
(OSA) on the risk of long-term cardiovascular disease (CVD) outcomes has not been …

BACKGROUND The nondipping circadian blood pressure (BP) profile is associated with
both poor sleep quality and increased cardiovascular risk. The present study aimed to clarify …

We investigated blood pressure (BP) variability as assessed by beat-to-beat, reading-to-
reading and day-to-day BP variability indices in patients with obstructive sleep apnea …

Methods: Baseline data from 298 cardiology patients recruited for a multicenter randomized
controlled trial were examined. Dipping was defined as a sleep-related BP or heart rate (HR) …
