No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea and associate it with the endothelial function behavior in patients with resistant hypertension. Two groups will be evaluate, one presenting uncontrolled high blood pressure, and other, with controlled blood pressure by drugs.

Conditions

Interventions

DEVICE

WatchPAT

BP was measured by oscillometric method on automatic device. Endothelial function was assessed by peripheral arterial tonometry (PAT) by EndoPAT2000® and the OSA diagnosis also through PAT, using the portable device WatchPAT200®. Anthropometric evaluation was performed through measurements of waist, hip and neck circumference, body mass index, waist to height ratio (WHtR), and body composition assessed by bioelectrical impedance.
