Summary
Supine hypertension is a common problem that affects at least 50% of patients with primary
autonomic failure. Supine hypertension can be severe and complicates the treatment of
orthostatic hypotension. The purpose of this study is to assess whether continuous positive
airway pressure (CPAP) decreases blood pressure in autonomic failure patients with supine
hypertension.
