Why the study?
Does sleep-disordered breathing increase the risk of incident nocturnal blood pressure nondipping in adults?
Does sleep-disordered breathing increase the risk of incident nocturnal blood pressure nondipping in adults?
Sleep-disordered breathing is prospectively associated with a dose-response increase in the development of systolic nocturnal blood pressure nondipping, providing a potential mechanism for increased cardiovascular disease risk.
