Impact of hypertension on cerebral microvascular structure in CPAP-treated obstructive sleep apnoea patients: a diffusion magnetic resonance imaging study

ConclusionBased on IVIM analysis, cerebral microvascular structure and function showed no difference between hypertensive and normotensive patients with moderate-to-severe OSA treated with CPAP. Treatment adherence with antihypertensive drug regime and, in turn, controlled hypertension seems not to affect microvascular structure and perfusion of the brain.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02493673
