Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is frequently associated with hypertension.
- OSA may contribute to worse blood pressure control in patients with hypertension.
- Alterations in night-time blood pressure dipping are observed in individuals with OSA.
- Increased target organ damage is associated with OSA in hypertensive patients.
- Arterial stiffness is noted to be higher in patients with both hypertension and OSA.
- Management strategies for hypertension in OSA patients may include lifestyle changes and specific anti-hypertensive treatments.
