- Abstract
Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is an effective therapy for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). However, for patients who already have OSA and coronary heart diseases (CHD) with optimal medications, whether CPAP can reduce the blood pressure (BP) is not clear. This is a controlled study to evaluate the effects of CPAP on BP in Chinese cohorts with CHD under optimal medications.
