The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence of sleep apnea syndrome (SAS) among patients with essential hypertension. Sixteen of 50 patients with essential hypertension were suspected of having SAS based on their responses to a sleep questionnaire. Whole-night polysomnographic recordings revealed that 11 of the 16 patients, which is 22% of the initial sample, had SAS as defined by the occurrence of at least 10 apneas lasting 10 seconds each per hour of polygraphically defined sleep. The preponderant finding of SAS in this group indicates that the possibility of the syndrome should be taken into consideration in the clinical evaluation of these patients.
本研究的目的是调查原发性高血压患者中睡眠呼吸暂停综合征（SAS）的患病率。50例原发性高血压患者中有16例根据其睡眠问卷回答被怀疑患有SAS。全夜多导睡眠图记录显示，这16例患者中有11例（占初始样本的22%）患有SAS，其定义为在每小时多导睡眠图定义的睡眠中至少出现10次每次持续10秒的呼吸暂停。该组中SAS的主要发现表明，在对这些患者进行临床评估时应考虑该综合征的可能性。
