STUDY OBJECTIVES: Obstructive apneas in adults are associated with acute changes in blood pressure (BP) and heart rate (HR) that may contribute to poor cardiovascular outcome. Children with sleep disordered breathing (SDB) are similarly at risk for cardiovascular complications. We aimed to test the hypothesis that BP and HR are augmented during obstructive events in children equivalent to levels reported in adults. DESIGN: Beat-by-beat mean arterial pressure (MAP) and HR were analyzed over the course of obstructive events (pre, early, late, and post-event) during NREM and REM sleep and compared using 2-way ANOVA with post hoc analyses. SETTING: Pediatric sleep laboratory. PATIENTS OR PARTICIPANTS: 30 children (15M/15F) aged 7-12 y referred for investigation of SDB INTERVENTIONS: N/A. MEASUREMENTS AND RESULTS: All children underwent overnight polysomnography with continuous BP recording. MAP and HR increased significantly from late to post event in both sleep states (mean +/- SEM, NREM: MAP, 74 +/- 3 to 93 +/- 3 mm Hg; HR, 76 +/- 2 to 97 +/- 2 bpm. REM: MAP, 76 +/- 3 to 89 +/- 3 mm Hg; HR, 76 +/- 2 to 91 +/- 2 bpm. P < 0.05 for all). NREM sleep state and arousal from sleep were significant independent predictors of the magnitude of cardiovascular change from late to post event (P < 0.05 for all). CONCLUSIONS: Children with SDB experience significant changes in HR and BP during obstructive events with magnitudes that are similar to levels reported in adults. These changes are more pronounced during NREM sleep and with arousal. These acute cardiovascular changes may have important implications for poor cardiovascular outcome in children with OSA as repetitive cardiovascular perturbations may contribute to the development of hypertension.
