Beneficial response of blood pressure to short-term continuous positive airway pressure in Chinese patients with obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome

摘要

Background Obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) is common in people with hypertension and cardiac rhythm disorder. The objectives of this study were to determine the effect of short-term continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) on blood pressure (BP) and cardiac rhythm in Chinese patients with moderate to severe OSAHS.
