RESUMO

El síndrome de apnea obstructiva del sueño (SAOS) tiene un papel importante en la morbimortalidad cardiovascular. Se han sugerido muchos mecanismos para explicar la asociación mórbida entre el SAOS y la enfermedad cardiovascular, especialmente la hipertensión arterial (HTA). Alrededor de la mitad de los pacientes con SAOS padecen hipertensión arterial y la prevalencia de SAOS en pacientes hipertensos es mayor que la existente en la población general. En el presente caso se describe a un paciente con HTA refractaria al tratamiento farmacológico que evolucionó favorablemente luego del diagnóstico y el tratamiento del SAOS.


Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) plays an important role in cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Several mechanisms have been suggested to explain the morbid association between OSAS and cardiovascular disease, especially with hypertension (HT). About half of the patients with OSAS have hypertension, and the prevalence of OSAS is greater in hypertensive patients than in general population. The current case report describes a patient with hypertension refractory to pharmacological treatment which presented favorable outcomes after OSAS was diagnosed and properly treated.
