Study finds CPAP may lead to reduced blood pressure in patients with sleep apnea and high blood pressure.

HealthDay (12/11, Reinberg) reports on a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association finding that the treating of sleep apnea with the standard treatment of continuous positive airway pressure for 12 weeks led to reduced diastolic blood pressure and improved “overall nighttime blood pressure” among patients with sleep apnea who were “taking three or more drugs to lower their blood pressure.” Researchers recommended that patients with hard-to-control high blood pressure be tested for sleep apnea. The study covered 194 patients randomly assigned to CPAP or no CPAP. Those assigned to CPAP “lowered their 24-hour average blood pressure 3.1 mm Hg more than those not receiving CPAP,” and also had “a 3.2 mm Hg greater reduction in 24-hour average diastolic blood pressure.”

        Medscape (12/11, O'Riordan) reports the study found “significant improvements in their 24-hour mean and diastolic blood pressures, but no change in their systolic blood pressure.”
