Ventilatory burden and blood pressure response to CPAP: A secondary analysis of the APPLES trial.
BACKGROUND Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) is the standard treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), but has a heterogeneous blood pressure (BP) lowering effect. We hypothesized that Ventilatory Burden (VB), a metric better reflecting the entire burden of pathological airflow, may predict CPAP-induced BP r...
