Identification of sleep disruption and sleep disordered breathing from the systolic blood pressure profile.
- Abstract:
-
BACKGROUND: Respiratory sleep studies are frequently performed to identify sleep disruption resulting from upper airway obstruction. Traditional polysomnographic studies may not detect brief recurrent sleep disruption and thus fail to recognise a significant problem when apnoea, hypopnoea, or arterial desaturation are not present.
