Does ambulatory monitoring of blood pressure disturb sleep and raise blood pressure at night in patients suspected of suffering from sleep-disordered breathing?
Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring during sleep causes EEG arousals and significantly raises systolic blood pressure, suggesting nighttime readings should be interpreted with caution in patients with suspected sleep-disordered breathing.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May warrant cautious nocturnal ABPM interpretation in suspected SDB; leaves open need for validation against undisturbed measures.
