Comparison of Standard Treatment by Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) and CPAP Combined to a Physical Activity Program for Reducing Blood Pressure in Sleep Apnea Patients With Resistant Hypertension: RAP Randomized Controlled Trial
Investigators hypothesize that CPAP treatment for suppressing OSAS in combination with a physical activity program will optimize 24-hour blood pressure control in patients with OSA-related resistant hypertension.
Inclusion: Patient with an obstructive sleep apnea (apnea-hypopnea index > or equal to 15); Patient with resistant hypertension uncontrolled by 3 or more antihypertensive agents; Ambulatory patient.
Exclusion: Acute hepatic failure, biliary cirrhosis, cholestasis; Acute hypertension (SBP>= 180 mmHg and/or DBP >= 110 mmHg); Contraindication to CPAP treatment.
