Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether CPAP is effective in the treatment of systemic hypertension.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

It is now well known that cardiovascular risks are increased in patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). Also a link has already been demonstrated between OSAS and hypertension.

Nowadays, the most efficient treatment of the OSAS is the continuous Positive Airway Pressure (cPAP). Several studies have also shown that cPAP could reduce arterial blood pressure in OSAS patients. But level of blood pressure (BP), drug treatment were not equal between groups and it's difficult to single out independent role of cPAP.

Our study has the objective to compare the effects of cPAP on hypertension in OSAS patients. After 3-9 weeks of antihypertensive treatment (valsartan and amlodipine) those one who reached target level of BP will be randomized either in the group "treatment by cPAP" or in the group "treatment by cham-cPAP" for 3 weeks and then we'll perform cross-over.
