Comparison of Continuous Positive Airway Pressure and Valsartan in Hypertensive Patients with Sleep Apnea

Abstract

In an RCT, although the BP decrease was significant with CPAP treatment, valsartan induced a fourfold higher decrease in mean 24-hour BP than CPAP in untreated hypertensive patients with OSA. Clinical trial registered with www.clinicaltrials.gov (NCT00409487).
