Popis: | STUDY OBJECTIVES: We determined the relationship of cardiovascular risk factors, cardiovascular diseases, nocturnal blood pressure (NBP), and NBP fluctuations (NBPFs) with the severity of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). We also investigated the effect of short-term continuous positive airway pressure therapy on NBP parameters. METHODS: This retrospective study included 548 patients from our cardiac clinic with suspected OSA. Patients underwent polysomnography and continuous NBP measurement using the pulse transit time. According to their apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), patients were subclassified as controls (AHI < 5 events/h), mild (AHI 5 to < 15 events/h), moderate (AHI 15 to < 30 events/h), and severe OSA (AHI ≥ 30 events/h); 294 patients received continuous positive airway pressure therapy. RESULTS: Analysis of covariance showed that NBP and the frequency of NBPFs were the highest in severe followed by moderate and mild OSA (all P < .001). Multivariable regression analysis revealed a significant association of NBPFs with AHI, body mass index, systolic NBP, and lowest SpO(2). The severity of OSA is also associated with the frequency of obesity, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, atrial fibrillation, heart failure (all P < .001), and coronary artery disease (P = .035). Short-term continuous positive airway pressure decreased the frequency of NBPFs in all OSA groups and the systolic NBP in severe and moderate but not in mild OSA. CONCLUSIONS: The severity of OSA is associated with an increase in NBP and NBPFs. Continuous positive airway pressure reduces NBP parameters already after the first night. In addition to BP, the diagnosis and therapy of NBPFs should be considered in patients with OSA.
