Title: Study on the relationship between obstructive sleep apnea hypopea and hypertension
Abstract: Objective To evaluate the relationship between obstructive sleep apnea hypopea syndrome and hypertension.Methods Three hundred and ninety-eight cases were monitored during the night, using the Sullivan auto monitor system. Those who had AHI ≥ 5 times were chosen as the trial group (OSAHS) and those below 5 times were sent to the controls. The measures of blood pressure were conducted before sleep and in the morning. The parameter of AHI and blood pressure were analyzed and compared between the groups and at different time periods. Results The blood pressure after sleep in the OSAHS group (146.35±16.28/96.51±10.31mmHg) was significantly higher than that before sleep (131±18.37/81±11.09mmHg): P 0.05, which in turn was significantly higher than that in the control group (122±16.28/79±11.45mmHg):P 0.05. The lowest value of SaO 2 in the OSAHS group (54±18.04%) was significantly lower than that in the control group (80±12.1%):P 0.05.Conclusion Hypoxemia during sleep can be one of the reasons causing hypertension.
