Cardiovascular effects after five nights without continuous positive airway pressure for obstructive sleep apnea: a randomized controlled trial
Blood pressure is affected after five nights of CPAP interruption, along with a rapid return of sleep apneas, nocturnal hypoxic events, daytime sleepiness and increased hemoglobin levels, but arterial stiffness was not affected. Blood pressure was affected in women only, suggesting a sex-related CPAP effect on blood pressure.
