Long-term effect of CPAP treatment on cardiovascular events in patients with resistant hypertension and sleep apnea. Data from the HIPARCO-2 Study

Background: There is some controversy about the effect of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) onthe incidence of cardiovascular events (CVE). However, the incidence of CVE among patients with bothobstructive sleep apnea (OSA) ans resistant hypertension (HR) has not been evaluated. Our objecti...

Resumo:Background: There is some controversy about the effect of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) onthe incidence of cardiovascular events (CVE). However, the incidence of CVE among patients with bothobstructive sleep apnea (OSA) ans resistant hypertension (HR) has not been evaluated. Our objective wasto analyze the long-term effect of CPAP treatment in patients with RH and OSA on the incidence of CVE.Methods: Multi-center, observational and prospective study of patients with moderate-severe OSA andRH. All the patients were followed up every 3–6 months and the CVE incidence was measured. Patientsadherent to CPAP (at least 4 h/day) were compared with those with not adherent or those who had notbeen prescribed CPAP.Results: Valid data were obtained from 163 patients with 64 CVE incidents. Treatment with CPAP wasoffered to 82%. After 58 months of follow-up, 58.3% of patients were adherent to CPAP. Patients notadherent to CPAP presented a non-significant increase in the total CVE incidence (HR:1.6; 95%CI: 0.96–2.7;p = 0.07). A sensitivity analysis showed that patients not adherent to CPAP had a significant increase in theincidence of cerebrovascular events (HR: 3.1; CI95%: 1.07–15.1; p = 0.041) and hypertensive crises (HR:5.1; CI95%: 2.2–11.6; p = 0.006), but the trend went in the opposite direction with respect to coronaryevents (HR: 0.22; CI95%: 0.05–1.02; p = 0.053). Conclusions: In patients with RH and moderate-severe OSA, an uneffective treatment with CPAP showed a trend toward an increase in the incidence of CVE (particularly neurovascular events and hypertensive crises) without any changes with respect to coronary events
