“…In our study, the participants used CPAP continuously (except for rare bathroom breaks) in the laboratory during the entire duration of the time in bed (i.e., from 11:00 P.M. to 7:00 A.M.), which is comparable with approximately 8 hours of nightly objective CPAP adherence downloaded from devices in a clinical setting. Our finding that CPAP treatment reduces systolic and diastolic blood pressure as compared with placebo is consistent with prior randomized trials showing beneficial effects of CPAP on blood pressure in OSA patients (25,28,(39)(40)(41)(42). Most of our participants (z80%) were not hypertensive at baseline.…”

“…Most of our participants (z80%) were not hypertensive at baseline. Although the average decrease in blood pressure seems to be larger in our study as compared with the treatment effect in prior trials (28,(39)(40)(41)(42), it has been reported that the effectiveness of CPAP in reducing blood pressure increases with higher adherence to treatment (28,(41)(42)(43). Within the CPAP group, we observed significant decreases in 24-hour and daytime diastolic blood pressure, whereas the nighttime systolic and diastolic blood pressure seemed to be higher after treatment, although these nighttime changes did not reach statistical significance.…”

“…Probably CPAP therapy for one night decreased blood pressure by reducing the acute hemodynamic changes associated with reduced NO production. In addition to restoring the normal nocturnal "dipping" pattern CPAP treatment has also reduced daytime blood pressure in a few studies [9]. Since even small decrease in arterial pressure can contribute to reducing cardiovascular disease risk in such patients.…”

“…It appears to be beneficial in improving the cardiovascular and metabolic outcomes in such patients [8]. Many studies have shown a reduction in blood pressure with CPAP treatment [9] whereas there are conflicting results on the effect of CPAP on other components of metabolic syndrome like insulin resistance [10] and lipid profile [11]. Thus, the effect of CPAP on the components of metabolic syndrome in OSA still remains ambiguous.…”

“…2 Several trials have indicated that treatment of OSAS can lead to reductions in hypertension and prehypertension. [3][4][5] The question then arises of how this is best accomplished. Diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) can be limited by availability, accessibility, and the cost of in-laboratory polysomnography: the gold standard for diagnosis.…”
