Effect of continuous positive airway pressure on obstructive sleep apnea-related hypertension

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) often affects sleep quality and causes cardiovascular diseases, with the highest incidence of hypertension. At present, the relationship between OSA and hypertension and its mechanism are still being explored, and the antihypertensive effect of continuous positive airway pressure, an effective treatment for obstructive sleep apnea, on blood pressure remains controversial. Better understanding of the relationship between obstructive sleep apnea and hypertension and the therapeutic effect of continuous positive airway pressure will be conducive to clinical practice.
