Arousals Are Frequent and Associated With Exacerbated Blood Pressure Response in Patients With Primary Hypertension
Journal: American Journal of Hypertension

Patients with hypertension who do not have sleep-disordered breathing have an increased cardiovascular burden during sleep, which may be due to the greater number of arousals and exacerbated systolic BP response that they experience during sleep. These novel findings may have cardiovascular implications in patients with hypertension.
