Supine hypertension affects most patients with orthostatic hypotension (OH) due to autonomic failure, but it is often untreated for fear of worsening OH. We hypothesized that increasing intrathoracic pressure with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) had a Valsalva-like blood-pressure-lowering effect that could be used to treat nocturnal supine hypertension in these patients, while reducing nocturnal pressure diuresis and improving daytime OH. In Protocol 1, we determined the acute hemodynamic effects of increasing levels of CPAP (0, 4, 8, 12, and 16 cm H2O, 3 minutes each) in 26 patients with autonomic failure and supine hypertension studied while awake and supine. In Protocol 2 (n=11), we compared the effects of overnight therapy with CPAP (8-12 cm H2O for 8 hours) versus placebo on nocturnal supine hypertension, nocturnal diuresis and daytime OH in a 2-night crossover study. In Protocol 1, acute CPAP (4-16 cm H2O) decreased systolic blood pressure in a dose-dependent manner (maximal drop 22±4 mmHg with CPAP 16) due to reductions in stroke volume (-16+3%) and cardiac output (-14±3%). Systemic vascular resistance and heart rate remained unchanged. In Protocol 2, overnight CPAP lowered nighttime systolic blood pressure (maximal change -23±5 versus placebo -1±7 mmHg; P=0.023) and was associated with lower nighttime diuresis (609±84 versus placebo 1004±160 mL; P=0.004) and improved morning orthostatic tolerance (AUC upright SBP 642±121 versus placebo 410±109 mmHg*min; P=0.014). CPAP is a novel nonpharmacologic approach to treat the supine hypertension of autonomic failure while improving nocturia and daytime OH. URL: https://www. gov; Unique identifier: NCT03312556.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D006973 Hypertension Persistently high systemic arterial BLOOD PRESSURE. Based on multiple readings (BLOOD PRESSURE DETERMINATION), hypertension is currently defined as when SYSTOLIC PRESSURE is consistently greater than 140 mm Hg or when DIASTOLIC PRESSURE is consistently 90 mm Hg or more. Blood Pressure, High,Blood Pressures, High,High Blood Pressure,High Blood Pressures
D007024 Hypotension, Orthostatic A significant drop in BLOOD PRESSURE after assuming a standing position. Orthostatic hypotension is a finding, and defined as a 20-mm Hg decrease in systolic pressure or a 10-mm Hg decrease in diastolic pressure 3 minutes after the person has risen from supine to standing. Symptoms generally include DIZZINESS, blurred vision, and SYNCOPE. Hypotension, Postural,Orthostatic Hypotension,Postural Hypotension

D045422 Continuous Positive Airway Pressure A technique of respiratory therapy, in either spontaneously breathing or mechanically ventilated patients, in which airway pressure is maintained above atmospheric pressure throughout the respiratory cycle by pressurization of the ventilatory circuit.

D054970 Pure Autonomic Failure A degenerative disease of the AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYSTEM that is characterized by idiopathic ORTHOSTATIC HYPOTENSION and a greatly reduced level of CATECHOLAMINES.

D018592 Cross-Over Studies Studies comparing two or more treatments or interventions in which the subjects or patients, upon completion of the course of one treatment, are switched to another. In the case of two treatments, A and B, half the subjects are randomly allocated to receive these in the order A, B and half to receive them in the order B, A. A criticism of this design is that effects of the first treatment may carry over into the period when the second is given.
