Nocturnal BP Profile Predicts CPAP Effect on BP in Patients With OSA and Resistant Hypertension

Review Peripheral Vascular Disease

Pathophysiology of the Nondipping Blood Pressure Pattern

Justine Huart et al.

Summary: The nondipping blood pressure pattern refers to an inadequate decrease in BP levels during nighttime sleep, disrupting the circadian BP rhythm as observed in 24-hour ambulatory BP monitoring. Patients with this pattern experience poorer renal and cardiovascular outcomes regardless of their average 24-hour BP levels. The pathophysiology of nondipping BP involves disruptions in circadian rhythm, autonomic nervous system, and water and sodium regulation, and recent research has also suggested a potential role of gut microbiota in this pattern.

Should we treat with continuous positive airway pressure severe non-sleepy obstructive sleep apnea individuals without underlying cardiovascular disease?

Martino F. Pengo et al.

Summary: The majority of current international OSA guidelines recommend CPAP treatment based on symptoms, but controversy exists for non-sleepy patients. A proposed algorithm attempts to phenotype non-sleepy OSA patients and consider clinically relevant elements before deciding on CPAP treatment. Extensive validation is needed before implementing this algorithm in clinical settings.
