Abstract

CPAP treatment reduction blood pressure levels, degree of reduction in blood pressure levels is similar to those achieved by some antihypertensive drugs, especially in patients with resistant hypertension. There is a positive and linear correlation between the hours of use of CPAP and the reduction in blood pressure levels. CPAP decreases both the sympathetic activity and the level of aldosterone concentration on resistant hypertension patients, and these could constitute some of the pathophysiological action mechanisms involved in this treatment. The treatment and adherence to CPAP therapy along with other antihypertensive medications greatly reduce and prevent high blood pressure, CVD, and stroke.
