Abstract
Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) provides an accurate assessment of blood pressure (BP) and shows non-dipper BP pattern in many sleep apnea syndrome (SAS) patients with hypertension (HTN); however, little information is available on the relationship between the severity of SAS and circadian BP changes in SAS patients without HTN. This study investigated whether SAS patients without HTN would have different BP courses in the severity of SAS. Seventy-four consecutive outpatients without HTN [systolic BP (BPs) at clinic <140mmHg and/or diastolic BP (BPd) at clinic <90mmHg], who received no antihypertensives, underwent overnight polysomnography (PSG) and ABPM. The apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) was calculated from the PSG results; patients were stratified into the following 4 groups based on their AHI: non-SAS, mild-, moderate-, or severe-SAS. The diurnal BPs and BPd showed no differences in the severity of SAS; however, the sleep BPs, lowest BPs, and pre-awake BPs were significantly higher in the severe-SAS group than the non-SAS group (p=0.02, p=0.04, and p=0.006, respectively). The sleep BPd and pre-awake BPd were significantly higher in the severe-SAS than the non-SAS (p=0.01 and p=0.0003, respectively) and mild-SAS (p=0...Continue Reading
