Evaluating changes in pulse transit time drop index in patients with obstructive sleep apnea before and during CPAP therapy

Abstract Airflow limitation in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) leads to arousal, increased sympathetic nervous system activity, and elevated blood pressure, which causes a decrease in pulse transit time (PTT). The present study aims to evaluate the effect of CPAP therapy on PTT in patien...
