apneABP Pros
- Full Holter ABPM Profile (for diagnosing hypertension)
Holter ABPM performed on patients with obstructive sleep apnea usually shows elevated night-time blood pressure, typically of diastolic BP values. The normal night-time dip in the Holter ABPM profile is usually narrowed, missing, or might even be reversed: the majority of patients with obstructive sleep apnea are non-dippers. As sleep apnea episodes trigger general alarm reactions, such episodes are followed by elevation of blood pressure and heart rate, therefore, night-time blood pressure variability is usually seriously elevated.
- Full Pulse Oximetry Profile (with beat-to-beat finger photoplethysmographic waveforms for diagnosing apneic episodes)
Pulse oximetry, monitoring blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) levels, performed on patients with obstructive sleep apnea will show reduced blood oxygen levels during apneic episodes. In severe obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, blood oxygen levels will drop to as low as 70%.
- Full Actigraphy and Body Position Profile (for monitoring physical activity levels)
Actigraphy (monitoring of body position and physical activity/motion levels) performed on patients with obstructive sleep apnea usually shows higher than normal levels of activity, partly due to loss of sleep quality and a series of partial or full awakenings, and partly due to the typically present nycturia which causes patients to leave bed to urinate several times during the night. Actigraphy is helpful in differentiating early-morning apnea, hypopnea episodes caused by sleep apnea from those caused by chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and/or asthma.
- Brachial and Finger Pulse Waveforms and Brachial Pulse Transition Times (for better insight on arterial stiffness)
