The authors recently developed a triggered nocturnal BP monitoring system that initiates BP measurements when oxygen desaturation falls below a variable threshold. The distribution and reproducibility of hypoxia-triggered nocturnal BP parameters compared with those of fixed-interval nocturnal BP parameters for two consecutive nights in 147 OSA patients (mea ...[more]
