title: [Obstructive sleep apnea in patients with stage I arterial hypertension].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To study sleep breathing in young men with arterial hypertension stage I.
  
  
  METHODS
  Somnological history, night cardiorespiratory monitoring, 24-h monitoring of arterial pressure (AP) and ECG were analysed in 34 young men with arterial hypertension (AH) of the first degree and 12 normotensive young men.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Hypertensive young men had a higher index apnea/hypopnea, mean duration of apnea/hypopnea (p < 0.05), maximal desaturation (p < 0.1), indirect parameters of inspiratory apnea, they snored more and woke up in sleep more frequently, their night hypertension was more than daytime. This was observed even in patients with overweight.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  All hypertensive young men examined had indirect signs of obstructive sleep apnea. The triggering role in it of the lungs and subclinical obstruction of upper airways in AH is suggested.
