BP – blood pressure; AH – arterial hypertension; PSG – polysomnography; TST – total sleep time; REM – rapid eye movement sleep stage; NREM – non-rapid eye movement sleep; N1 – N2, N3- adequate N1 NREM sleep, N2 NREM sleep, N3 NREM sleep; AHI – apnea-hypopnea index; ODI – oxygen desaturation index; SpO2 – oxygen saturation; ns – not statistically significant. |
